NEAR DEATH IN oUAGMIRE
Realism Carried to Excess by Actor
In His Efforts to Secure an
Effective Film.

All persons engaged In the produc-
ton of photoplays at some time OF
other In their career are confronted
with serious dangers. But 1t is rather
doubtful if any have had more excit-
ing and narrow escape from death than
G. L. Trimble, leading man with the
Lubin company.
In recent picture staged near
Point Pleasant. N. j., the role enacted
by Trimble called for his sinking into
the quagmire. The cameras were
trained on him and the actors were
ready for the scene. Everyone was
impressed by the realistic manner in
which he sank into the swamp until
suddenly they became aware that he
was shouting for help. A rope was
thrown over the limb of a nearby tree
and it took four men to release Trim
ble's 2S5 pounds from the mud A fel-
low actor. Peter ]. Lang, had mar
row escape while placing the rope
under Trimbles arms.-Popular Me-
chanics.

Diagram Showing Why Wheels Turn
Backward In Movies.

PLANTATION as simple as possible the top
spoke will be considered, and its sub
sequent positions and phenomena an
alyzed.
When the wheel starts to rotate to
the right, as shown in the diagram, the
top spoke in the picture will be in po-
sition No. 1.
II the second picture shows the
spoke in position No. the wheel will
appear to be rotating In unison with
the rest of the picture. If, however,
the wheel is rotating rapidly enough
so that the second picture shows the
top spoke in position No. 1t will ap-
pear to the eye that the next spoke,
which was in position No. in the first
picture, has moved back to position
No. A, and the wheel appears to be ro-
tating backward.
When the wheel rotates so fast that
the camera catches the second posi-
ton of the first spoke in the first po-
sition of the second spoke, the wheel
will show no rotation at all, though
the vehicle still moves.
When the wheel rotates so fast that
the second position of the top spoke
will appear in position No. 6, the
wheel will appear to have rotated from
positions Nos. to 6. This appears
as slow forward rotation
When the wheel rotates so that the
second position of the top spoke is in
position No 3, the wheel may appear
to be rotating forward in unison with
the rest of the picture, or 1t may APP
pear to be rotating backward.
The fact that the illusion springs
from the very fundamental phenome-
non of all movie" work, explains why
manufacturers have been unable to
eliminate it. Probably, for that mat
ter, they will be unable to eliminate
it in the future. so the perverse wheels
seem determined to stay with us 30
long as we have movies.-From the
Illustrated World.

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation of Seeming Phe-
nomena of the Movies"
Why Wheel, as II Revolves, Seems to
Rotate Observation-Disclosures That
Has Puzzled Many ls Really
Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies" has probably noticed when
there is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of a wheel
having spokes, such as those on a bug
gy or an automobile, that as the wheel
first starts to rotate it appears to re-
volve In unison with the rest of the
picture, but as 1t gains speed II sud
denly appears to rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then 1t slowly stops
turning, although the vehicle gains in
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
slowly, but not with the speed of the
rest of the vehicle. The film manu-
facturers have not been able to elimi-
nate this unfortunate Illusion. Many
explanations have been heard, but
they seldom approach the right one.
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for a small fraction of a
second. moving object seen on the
screen In reality is a series of pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rctina of the eye still has the vision OF
one projection when the next appears
Thus the picture appears to move In

Poisoned Seeds Make Odd Plants.

Observations on plant variation
from poisoning of seeds have been
reported in France by Prof. A. Jungel
son. After being placed for one to
twenty-four hours in dilute solution
of sulphate of copper seeds of maize
were planted, and considerable pro-
portion yielded abnormal spikes, the
percentage of the abnormal plants be-
ing greatest among those from seeds
that had been deprived of their seed
coat or otherwise mutilated before ex
posture to the copper solution.
The mutilation alone produced nc
change in the character of the plants
The more intimate the contact OF the
poison the greater was the tendency
of the plant to take on new forms

Now come two Costa Rican profess
sors, G.. Michaud and j. F. Tristant,
reporting their experiments upon the
effect of ultraviolet rays on the eyes
of men and animals. They filtered
ray of sunlight through a special hitter
composed of a cell of Uviol glass con-
tanning a solution of copper sulphate
and film of Observation-Disclosures
thus cutting off all the visible rays
and allowing none but the invisible
ultraviolet to enter perfectly dark
room. In the room these rays were
allowed to fall upon the eyes OF dog
or a man who had been in the dark
for fifteen minutes. The pupil inn
mediately became sharply defined in
luminous green against the violet
black background of the iris.
This startling effect, they believe, is
caused by the pigmented iris absorb
ing the ultraviolet rays while one OF
the tissues inside the eyeball, perhaps
the purple of the retina, huoresces
when they enter.

BIG SHIPMENT
OF WAR HORSES
FROM PORTLAND

Portland. Me-, Jan. 31.-Since the
opening of the winter steamship sea-
son at this port there has been ship
ped on transatlantic liners $40 war
horses and 6ss mules to be used by the
allies in the battlefelds Of Europe, ac-
cording to official figures from the To-
cal office of the United States Bureau
Of Animal Industry.
The first shipments were made during
the month of October when 1853 horses
were shipped to England on ships sail
ing from this port. In November 1854
horses were shipped and every animal
was consigned to the British army.
During the month of December 1907
horses We're sent to France for the
French army.
All records We're broken during jan
uary when 3437 horses and GSS mules
were shipped from this port to France
for the French army.
The British had leased sthe East
Deering stock yards for the purpose
of shipping horses from this port but
pressure brought to bear by Canadian
ports has resulted in this port being
abandoned and the East Deering wards
are idle at the present time, the Brit
ish having gone to Halifax and St
John. 1t is expected that others will
lease the East Deering yards within a
short time. All the horses being ship
ped to France are handled at the Var
mouth yards built and maintained by
r. Lawrence Smith, the largest ship
per of horses in this country, who plans
on shipping many thousand horses and
mules from Portland during the next
few months.
