As factor In the growth OF the
greater motion picture industry, the
feature of the kaleidoscope most to be
noted is the ceiluloid film on which
the pictures were printed, and by the
winding and unwinding of which the
Illusion of continuous motion was ac-
complished. 1t was the early Eastman
product and practically the molten
picture film OF today. In passing, It
might also be remarked that mag
nifying glass, between the peep hole
and the film, greatly enlarged the fig
ures. This principle of magnifying, al
though by an entirely different pro-
cedure. remains very important con-
sideration in the present day motion

Among the thousands Of visitors at
the fair. who peeked into the kineto-l
scope, with disregard for sanitation,
were two Greeks from London. One,
according to F. A. Talbot in his book
on motion pictures, was green grocer
and the other toy maker. Up to the
time of their respective peeks both
were passingly Insignificant in the Il.
nancial and scientific world. How
ever, the several minutes they had
to stand in line before they could get
close enough to Edison's device to-
deposit their nickles in the slot and
glue their eyes to the peep hole, gave
them sufficient time for some very
portentious contemplation. They

The machine they had brought with

Paul was greatly impressed with

inventor must certainly have covered
it with an English patent. He ex-
planned to the crestfallen Greeks the

the matter rest for few days. But
he could not drive the kaleidoscope and
its obvious ingenuity from his mind.

it might seem, found that the kinetd-

is doubtful Ii the original great ex-
pectations as 10 the size Of the

the potato crop undoubtedly is good

German authorities had exaggerated
the crop returns. In earlier an
nouncements it was said that the
great potato crop had solved the food
difficulty.
The oats crop Is so poor that Ger
man farmers will be permitted To re-
tain for the feeding OF their own
horses only fodder and grain of their
own raising to give each horse a
daily ration of two pounds. The
army horses for months have been
on a two pound ration, resulting in
