him that Columbia University had

Mr.. Robinson put in some pretty

not an empty one, as it carried with

EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS.

The governments experiments In
tea farming this year were highly sat

culture officials. On the 100 acres In
South Carolina where the bureau OF
plant industry is conducting the work
there were produced this year about
$4,000 pounds of tea worth fully 81
a pound. While this was not record

Roney W. True, in charge of the work
if conditions had been favorable.
With the invention this year Of a
tea plant pruning machine, which
worked successfully, only one pro-
cess in tea growing now must be done
by hand, that is the picking. The in
creased demand in the southern
states for this American tea has pro-
duced a market for all of it within
limited distance from the place
where it is raised.

The Man Who Made First Moving
Picture

Considerable discussion has been
going on for some time past as to
who originated the cinema. Many
claimants to the distinction have
come forward, but after careful in
iye.tigation it would appear that the
honor really belongs to an English
man, Edward Muybridge, who emf
grated from Kingston-Thames in
the 'forties, and settled in California
where later on he obtained an ap-
pointment as photographic surveyor
of the Pacific Coast.
The first moving picture which he
produced was really the outcome Of
wager made between the Governor
of California Iceland Standford) and
friend as to wefher horse ever
has four legs off the ground at the
same moment while running. Muy-
bidge was asked to settle the point.
He placed twenty-four cameras in a
line to cover each movement of the
horse and rider, :he camera-shutters
being moved by connecting-pieces of
string which the animal broke as he
passed. The result was a series of
pictures showing each movement OF
the horse. It settled the argument,
for Muybridge was able to show that,
except when jumping, the horse nev-
er had all his feet off the ground at
one time.
This experiment caused Muybridge
to think what an interesting thing
it would be to present the photos in
motion. To do this he copied the
method made familiar to many in the
zoetrope. The toy was "a pasteboard
cylinder, with Sits in the upper Sec
ton, and when it reyolved rapidly
it produced drawings apparently in
motion.
To reproduce the effect upon a
screen, using photographs, was
mechanical feat which was finally
conquered, the movements of the
horse being shown, but no back
ground.
This was before the introduction
of the flexible film for the camera,
and before rapid photography had
been developed. Muybridge lived to
see the wonderful moving picture of
to-day, and died in 1904 at his home
in England.-Ex.
