CLAY Fiuures for Movies.

In q new style Of moving pictures
little clay models of human figures
are used to represent the actors. The
result, when seen on the screen, Is
both startling and amusing, the tiny
clay figures seeming to walk, jump
and go through all the motions OF
talking and singing, as If actually
alive. Such pictures are called ami
mated sculpture. They owe their
origin to a woman sculptor of New
York, whose clayfolk, as she calls
them, are photographed in a success
sion of slightly different poses, each
specially modelled to carry out the
action of Il regular scenario or film
story. The process of molding the
figures is slow and labOriOus, as 16
different poses are required to make
a foot of film. Thus if the action of
the story calls for four actors in the
picture, a film of ordinary length,
say 200 feet, requires the careful mold
| ing by the Sculptor's hands of at least
| 12,SO0 different poses for the clay
| figures. In some scenes, however, only
/ slight changes are needed to give the
necessary animation, these being
quickly made by the deft touch of the
sculptor.-Popular Mechanics Maga-

ADVANCING ACROSS WIDE
STRETCHES EXPOSED TO FIRE.

The advance in such a succession of
thin lines as that described in the last
article is used to progress across a
wide stretch which is swept, rim dam
ger of being swept, by artillery fire, or
by lOng-range rifle fire. In short, this
type of advance is undertaken in places
exposed to q fire which it would be
profitleSS to return. The advance by
short rushes would both be costly (be-
cause of the comparative concentration
of the men in the fire-Swept area) and
impracticable. since to return rifle fire
against artillery world be futile. 1t
would be almost equally futile against
lOng-range rifle fire. However, when
the thin lines have advanced, as was
said before from 100 to 80 yards, they
may then be in a better position to re-
turn the fire.
The purpose of this movement is to
build up a strong skirmiSh line at
point where it may engage in a fire
| fight, and to build it up with the mini
mum cost. This method, while advan-
| tageOus from certain standpOints, also
has its drawbacks. Because, during
the progress of the advance, there is
almost entire loss of control over the
company Each individual is left to
his own initiative in reaching the new
line, but unless otherwise specified,
the advance is conducted at quick time,
and there is general uniformity OF
movement.
Yet the seriousness of the loss Of
control depends very largely upon the
previous training and discipline of the
company. If this has been Of the
proper kind. and the company is suffi-
ciently grounded in discipline, team
work, and esprit de corps, it will con-
tinue to assert itself even when the
man is proceeding across the exposed
area alone.
1t is precisely the same as with a
back-field player on football eleven !:
He is alone his responsibility is single.
generally speaking, but at that he
never loses his consciousness of team
play and-the essential coordination OF
his efforts with those of the rest of his
team.
Against the possible disadvantage of
temporary loss of control over the
company, moreover, is the more than
cOmpensating advantage that such an
advance is less likely to draw fire.
This is net only important from the
standpoint of casualties, but would in
itself reduce the degree in which such
control may be lost. In other words,
it would be even more difficult to re-
tain control over a deplOyed company
which is subject to a withering fire
than over a company advancing in q
succession of thin lines, if the fire Is
scattering and Intellectual.
The war in Europe has in many re-
spects cancelled previous theories OF
combat In view of such developments

other and better formations may be de

CYCLING FAD BEING REVIVED
Many Persons Who Had Forgotten All
About Bicycles Have Taken to
Riding Them Again.

There has come fad for bicycling
again. Not very full-grown fad. to
be sure, but still good many persons
who had forgotten all about bicycles
or else hardly knew of them have
taken TO riding them.
And 1t is rather interesting to note
a comment that was made some 20
years ago, when we took up bicycling
so very seriously. 1t was this: That
bicycling has done as much harm to
the habit of good reading as 1t had
done good to the health of bicyclers.
Nowadays there are so many other
things to blame for our loss of the
habit of good reading. The moving
pictures, of course, come In for their
share of blame And then all our out
door sports must also take the time
that we might otherwise feel disposed
TO devote to reading. Perhaps If we
could go back to the mid-Victorian
habits Of women, before outdoor sports
We're the fashion, we should do much
more substantial reading. Perhaps not.
Perhaps we have learned to do more
things than we used to do and per-
haps we are better read today than we
used 70 be.
II would take a good deal Of care
full work to find out.-Exchange.

offered to Transfer One of his Heavy
weight Ensigns to Make Room
for Extra Equipment

When a squad of civilian volunteers
went on a battleship training cruise,
Lieut.. f. ii. Roberts one day told them
about service with the destroyers.

volunteers, rs made in selecting the
men to serve in torpedo craft, wheth-
er they are fat men or lean men, short
men or tail men. The character and
spirit are developed by association af-
ter their arrival. As a rule, they are
older than the men on the battleships.
you all know that one of the char
acteristics of destroyer is ability to
make high speed. To this end it has
always been the policy of the naval
constructors to keep fittings of the
vessel strong but of light weight. No
chances were ever lost by the naval
constructors in tightening the destroy
ers by removal of any fittings that
they considered unnecessary"
To illustrate: A fotilla of destroy
ers was dispatched from the Atlantic
coast TO the Philippines via San Juan,
Suez canal. Indian ocean and the West
Indies.
II so happened that on one of these
destroyers the commanding officer was
a man weighing 230 pounds. His two
assistants both then ensigns, each
weighed well over 200 pounds. Out of
a half-doZen chief petty officers three
of them We're heavyweights, and ia the
rest of the crew were two others of
the same avoirdupois.
Upon arrival in the Philippines the
weather was hot and sultry, the sun
keeping the decks of the vessel warm,
adding another torment.
The vessels original allowance list
had included one electric fan, so the
commanding officer submitted requi-
sition requesting that fan be fur
nished for the wardroom and one in
each compartment in which the crew
were quartered, a total of five fans.
The request In due time reached
Washington. and some three months
later WIS returned disapproved as the
bureau did not wish TO add any un-
necessary weight To the vessel fer fear
of reducing its speed.
Nothing datinted. the commanding
officer returned the requisition with a
statement thereon of the weights of
himself his two commissioned assist
ants and other members of the crew
and requested that one of these heavy
weights be transferred and that man
weighing about $50 pounds be sent in
his place
The fans were forthcoming and no
body was transferred. Since that time
electric fans are among the few COM
forts found ON destroyers.
