Moving Pictures

Perhaps you have seen moving PIC
lures of trains which were so real tnat
YOU almost feared you would be run
over Do you know why these pictures
looked so real? Let us pretend that we
are moving picture men who first want
to take pictures If we should want the
photographs of the little play of Gin
derella" Of course we should have to
train our players so they could act the
story We should also have to provloe
proper dressing for our actors and to pe
sure not to forget the little slipper nor
the pumpkin and rats that were turned
into the fine coach and horses. Then
we would be ready to take the pictures.
If we wish to get the pictures Of a
parade as it passes that would be much
easier, for then we can start right IN
photographing. Our camera, Which is
one especially suited to taking the pic
lures, is placed in proper position. Tne
moving picture camera has in 1T long
ribbon like film about three inches wide
and several hundred feet long.
This is of course, rolled around
spool inside the camera. As the pic
lures are taken part OF the MIN
leaves the spool, passes behind the
lens, then rolls on second spool, while
another part of the film is moving In
position to receive picture. The
moving of the film, together with the
opening and closing of the shutter OF
the camera, is all done by the winding
of little wheel. SO that the pictures
may not overlap one another on the
film the long roll has perforations
which cause just the proper part OF the
film to stop behind the lens just as
the shutter automatically opens and
then closes. So quickly are the pic
lures taken that 40 photographs are
made in the film second.
Sometimes 5000 separate pictures
will be taken on one film within two or
three minutes. In order to be deyel-
oped these long rolls of film are fast
ened to the outside of an immense hol-
low cylinder, which revolves, dipping
the film into a bath Of developing solu-
tion. When the pictures are shown at
the picture shows they are wound
from one reel to another just as rap
idly as when they were taken, so that
the action OF the people represented by
the photographs may seem real. The
reason that the pictures look so large.
although they are really very small. is
because they are magnified by lens in
the large lantern.

A Novel Rat Trap

Talking with farmer in an Ayrshire
coast town the other day writes cor
respondent, he told me among other
things of curious affair that happened
at his farm lately. Two or three boys
were playing in an outhouse in which
were five old diSuSed milk cans. They
placed these cans in a row and amused
themselves for a time by pitching ears
Of corn at them to see who could put
the most ears in a can. There were
ears Of corn in each can when the boys
stopped playing and left the outhouse.
A couple of days later the farmer him
self had occasion to go to the Quthouse
and was greeted with certain sounds
that rather startled him. 1T was a cease
less grating and humping land squeaI-
ing combined. Going forward to one of
the milk cans he looked in and was
greatly surprised to see it alive with
large rats struggling to get out. Each
of the other four cans had also a num-
ber Of similar occupants 1t was not
until he had learned of the boys and
the corn that he could explain the pres
ence of the rats in the cans. They had
jumped into the cans to get the corn,
but found it impossible to get out again
How to dispose of the rats was at first
a puzzle to the farmer, but ne finally hit
upon plan. Covering the cans so that
none of the rats could escape, he rolled
them to pond. opening the covers
just enough to let water run into the
can.

The ROsin Gatherer

Many, many years ago, when there
were very few people in Hungary and
there were only thick forests for miles
and miles, there lived in one of these
forests. a poor man who used to gather
rosin from the fir trees and make it
into pitch. When his pitch was made
he put 1t in little two wheeled cart
and went to the nearest town to sell
It, He had no donkey, he was so poor,
but had to push the cart himself
One day while going through the
forest all alone, he heard noise among
the trees. 1t was neighboring knight
out hunting a stag. He had many
friends and servants with him and they
were all very tired. for they had been
hunting the stag for many hours and
none of them could get him. The poor
rosin gatherer could have nothing to
do with these rich knights. SO he went
on his way. But when he had gone on
a little farther into the forest he heard
noise again. This time ii was not
the hunting party, but the stag it
self. The man stopped Just where he
was, but the stag, tired and frightened,
kept on running and ran straight into
the cart. tangling his legs In the
wheels so that he could not get out
again.
When the knight and his friends ar
rived they killed the stag. AS a re-
ward the knight gave the rosin gath
erer many hundreds of acres Of land.
enough TO make him a prince. And
for an emblem for his house he gave
him this coat OF arms, a stag with his
hind legs caught in a wheel.
III you ever see this you will know
how long, long ago the poor rosin
gatherer earned the title which is now
we'll known one in Hungary.

undergo a reasonable amount of gym
nastic training. Dumbbells, club swing
ing parallel and horizontal bars, vault
ing, running, jumping and the rings
are some of the required details. Those
who wish to do so may specialize IN
one or more things, but not to the
neglect of others, for all around de-
velopment is what is sought rather
than extreme development In one dl-
rection and little or none in the others.
OF course, there are rowing and boat
sailing almost from the start and kept
up to the end. Whaleboats, cutters and
sioops are used for instruction.
The essentially military and nautl-
cal drills call for a great deal OF phySl-
cal exercise. On board the practice
ships the midshipmen are required 10
perform the duties Of sailors, gong
aloft, hauling on ropes, FEEDING the
furnaces and running the engines. They
must learn to knot and splice. AMI are
also given extensive instruction in the
machine shops. They must do oehch

welding iron and steel, and tempering
steel; run machine tools, such as
lathes, punches and drills; learn to use
hammer, plane, draw knife, chisel and
other carpenters tools, and make pat
terms. They must take apart and put
together the various marine engines
and themselves make many of their
parts.
The summer practice cruises last
from the first week in June until late
in August, the mdshipmen going
aboard the vessels of the practice
squadron, cruising along the coast in
them and even going to foreign ports
On these cruises. the first classmen,
who correspond to the seniors at a
college, perform the duties of officers,
under the commissioned officers of the
navy, and the other classes perform
the duties of petty officers. seamen.

Railroad Florists

The name "grasshoppers' has been
given to the railroad florists There Is
some significance In the name, too, for
these men just jump from one railroad
lawn to another and keep them in good
condition. They are especially busy at
this time OF the year in Pennsylvania
in fixing up the station grounds and
rights OF way for the summer months.
Each division has a certain number OF
men that go from one station to another
and look after the lawns and see that
they are given the proper attention.
