MONSTER SCREEN At
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing Pictures.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
Of the largest screen for the projec-
ton of pictures ever built in the
world. This is to be one of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel
ebration, to be held in Columbus,
June 20 to July 10.
This monster screen will have a
surface for pictures 115x1l5 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet
larger in each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be ESQ feet from the near
est spectator and will be built to
withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on
screen in New York City across a
distance of four and a half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
C. Holbrook, the screen will be, in
effect, three sides OF house. 1t is
necessary to give it the foundations
equivalent to four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served it's purpose, the picture
face will be of fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with a white
surface preparation.
The estimated cost of this screen
will be $4,000 The screen and the
lantern will be used in showing the

Not the Interest Taken.

There is not the interest taken in
the observance Of Decoration Day
there was years ago-that was
plainly visible last Friday here in
Corning and it is not as it should
be. In the last fifteen years. there
has been great falling off in the
interest taken. The late war may
have tendency to revive the inter
est and it is to be hoped it will.
But time works changes. not only
in the observance of the holidays,
but in nearly everything and we
must adjust ourselves to the new or
der OF things.
Decoration Day acts as an, ami
versary as we'll as holiday for the
writer--the anniversary of entering
a printing office for the purpose Of
taking up the trade and we beg the
kind Indulgence Of our readers for
the personal remarks that we may
| make in speaking OF the difference
! of the observance of Decoration
years ago, and some OF the changes
IN the printing industry in that
length Of time, which has certainly
been great.
We were then only lad and as
we entered the office of the Bluff
ton, Und.) Banner and think of
what was there to do with in the
printing line, and then of the pres
ent day in towns Of like size, it is
speak of the observance of the day
in those times, compared with the
present. May 80, 1881, was a gala
day in the old town and the inhab-
itants went about with bowed heads
and the business and residence dis
tricts were. deliberately decorated
and early in the forenoon large
ing from every direction to assist in
the observance of the day. Music,
both instrumental and vocal. was
on every hand and the streets were
thronged with people. Loads OF
flowers were brought to decorate
the graves of the boys Of 81 and OF
the cities of T tSe dead In fset the
day was more generally observed
than the Fourth of July-because
every city, village and hamlet OBJ
served it. There was a greater rev.
erence of the day and there was
more sympathy shown for the fall
len and dead heroes than at present.
AS stated before kindly permit us
to refer to some of the changes in
the art pre ssars Up to with
been practically no advancement in

ton of type setting machine was
thought to be one of the impossible
tiles, almost as much as perpetual
motion. Printers said type would
never be set by machinery and that
hand composition would be the only
way to get type ready for the press,
and when Otto Mergenthaler an
nounced that he had practically
completed a line casting machine
the printing craft said it would not
work and it is said they could have
bought the patents and retired the
machine for a small sum, but this
they refused to do because it would
never be a success. Now nearly ev-

a newspaper, has one or more Of
these machines. Corning has two.

were between two important factors

The most important influence came
from Washington. saying plans had

An opposing factor was q Buenos

eminent had prohibited exports Of
corn except At 50 per cent above the
actual market price. This was con-
strued n meaning 50 per cent above
the cost price so that on the basis OF
March futures at ssN cents the price
