predominant at Tuxedo; but still their
playing showed evidence of snap,
speed and direction. The Australians
go down to Philadelphia today, where
they will practise for the big elimina-
ton matches. DR. Dewhurst. himself

several times in action at the Mont
rose courts. viii guide the foreigners
during their stay in the Quaker City.
Hackett and Little played a poor
game, but not simply because the
Australians were present. 1t was
only an off day. and they could not
get into their stride. The victors,
Niles and Dabney. are first-tier men,
and, with the breaks in their favor,
created no surprise by their victory.

Please bet me know the fare to
Boston by rail and by boat? Also
why is it that In moving pictures the
wheels of wagons appear to go back
ward? Why is it that in kinemacolor
pictures bright red vibrates, while the
other colors are stationary?
E. r..
The fare by rail is $4.75, by boat $500.
AS to your movie query: The shut
ter on a moving picture camera is
alternately opened and closed. AS it
opens the film receives the image of
all the spokes on a wheel Then the
shutter is closed and the spokes re-
volve to another position. When
the shutter is opened again the
image of the spokes in the sec
ond position is taken. The gen.
eral effect of these alternate expos
ures is to make the wheel appear to
be revolving the wrong way. Were
the exposure continuous this would
not be. 1t will also be noticed that
the wheels do not appear to revolve
backwards unless the wagon is pass
ing directly in front of the camera.
Kinemacolor pictures are filtered by
red and green filters. The result of
this is to make very vivid red tints
stand out particularly strong when
taken through the red filter and less
brightly when taken through the
green filter. This causes the vibra-
ton of which you speak, and is the
biggest problem with which the
manufacturers of the picture have to
contend.
