A desire to instruct Sabbath
school children led to the invention
of the Photographic film which has
opened the way for the ever in
creasing use of moving pictures as
sources of amusement and instruct
ion. The honor of the invention
goes to a clergyman, now dead,
while certain share Of the money
it has earned'( how much is not
known) will goto his widow. The
latter is only one of the stock
holders in the company now to-
control the patent, for the costly
litigation necessary to prove her
husbands ownership had to be
turned over to a stock company.
The clergyman was Rev. Hannibal
Goodwin, of Newark, N. j., where
his widow still lives. He was an
Episcopal clergyman, who saw the
vast possibilities of educating chill
dren through eye as well as ear.
He used a stereoptican to interest

was cumbersome, troublesome and
expensive. He began to expert.

and to this end fitted up a labora-
tory in the rectory. He studied
chemistry, and wol ked out various
formulas for tentative trial AT
last he found one that, transparent
as glass and not as heavy, could be
wound around a spool. In 1887,
he applied Tor patent. Then his
troubles began. The same firm
