CINEMATOGRAPH FOLLOWS
PROGRESS OF A BULLET.
Shows Air Waves That Defect Course
Of Projectile.

A cinematograph apparatus which
takes pictures with intervals Of one
fve-thousandth of second has been
invented by DR.. Cranz of the Military
Academy Of Berlin. A striking ex-
ample Of the power Of the apparatus
shows bullet fired at a bladder Of
water that is hung on string.
The eye only sees little smoke from
the pistol and couple Of holes in the
bladder, from which the water runs,
but when this is cinematographed and
the film is shown slowly a very inter.
esting series Of operations can be
watched.
First the bullet is seen approaching.
II is travelling 1000 feet a second, but
1t seems to move quite deliberately.
In front Of 1t ind extending a long
way above and below it is a dim line
bent sharply Immediately before the
bullet A bullet can no more pass
through air than vessel can through
water without making wave, and
this is the air wave. 1t Is made visible
on account Of It's different density, Just
as the waves in air are seen above n
chimney or over hot ground.
Behind the bullet come scattered
grains Of the powder that have not
been burned, and travelling more slow
ly still comes the wad. The bullet
enters the bladder and disappears In
side, little water squirting out of the
hole 1t makes, Then 1t reaches the
other side, but 1t no longer cuts through
at once, as it did when the bladder
was backed up by the water.
Something like finger seems to
push the bladder outward into a long
tube, then the tube opens and lets out
the bullet, which gradually travels
away, The tube does not at once col
lapse; its form 10 maintained by the
stream Of water which follows the pro.
jectile.
