THIS is HOW A FLY FLIES.
Depressing His Wings He Jumps Be.
fore Buzzinq.

IOTC ou<<iHS.
Paris, July 5.-The latest discovery
is a method of taking photographs at
the almost incredible speed of 1000
pictures a second. The inventor is
Louis Bull, young American scien-
fist who is settled in Paris. By this
discovery it is possible to look at
many natural processes which before
this could only be guessed at
For instance. it is possible now to
watch plants growing, and see every
movement of the most rapid insects.
This science is called ultra-rapid cine
photography. 1t is distinct from ultra
microscopic cinematography, another
recent invention, by which 1t is pos
sible to see the movements Of mi
crobes and other things invisible to
the naked eye.
The new ultra-rapid cinematograph
shows how fly or bee or other flying
insect uses it's wings. What Is to the
ordinary person a mere confused buzz
ing of wings becomes a clear and or
derby process with this machine. One
series of these pictures shows ninteen
pictures of an ordinary house fly fly
ing. The movements represented here
occurred in the space of 1-105th of a
second of time, and yet each one is
seen more plainly than If an elephant
were walking slowly before the OBJ
server.
Anyone can see from these pictures
that the fly does not start flying by
buzzing his wings, as most people sup
pose. He depresses his wings very
much as a human aviator depresses
the planes of his flying machine be
fore starting. Then the fly gives him
self a take off" with his legs and
when he is fairly in the air his wings
start buzZing.
Perhaps the most curious series OF
ultra-rapid cinematography pictures is
that which shows the course of rifle
bullet through a soap bubble. The
movements here depicted in seventeen
pictures occupied exactly 1-125th of a
second. You see the bullet approach
ing the bubble. 1t pushes the tenuous
skin of the bubble inward for some
distance before it breaks it.
At last the bullet pushes through
the skin, but the skin reforms behind
the bullet and falls back into its orig
inal position before the bullet reaches
the farther side of the bubble. When
the bullet passes out of that side II
leaves a hole and that destroys the
bubble. You see it fade away to a
drop of soapy water.
1t is interesting to know the details
of the methods by which these photo
graphs are taken. To photograh an
insect in flight it is necessary to ar
range things so that he will fly volun
tarily across the Photographic field
With this object the device is placed
near a window, so that the insects
which are nearly always attracted to-
ward the light, fly in that direction.
1t is indispensable to release the
shutter at the precise moment when

pend on TWO Things, He Says.
Montreal, July 5.-William Jennings
Bryan, giving his estimate here of the
influence which ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt will exert on politics, said:
"Mr. Roosevelt's wide influence in
politics will depend upon two things
first, upon his own inclination, and,
second, upon his attitude on public
questions.
He can If he likes, refuse to dis
cuss partisan questions and devote
himself u those subjects which, while
national in scope and political in char.
acter, are not distinctively party ques.
tions-as, for instance, the peace
movement or he can enter actively
into the discussion of measures be.
fore congress and state legislatures,
platforms and candidates.
with the prestige of the presidency
back of him., his words are likely to
have influence in his party If he as.
sumes a partisan attitude, and with
the country at large if he assumes
an independent attitude.
I'm the second place, his influence
will depend upon the position he will
take. A man must in the long run
stand or fall with the principles or
policies for which he stands. The
personal element is very likely to be
oyerestimated."
