MAGIC LANTERN IN DAYLIGHT
French Inventor Has Devised Appara-
tus Which Does Away With the
Necessity for Slides.

A projection lantern which photo
graphs directly from the object it
self, dispensing with slides altogeth-
er, has been invented by French
physicist. A remarkable feature of
the apparatus is that it operates in
broad daylight, there being no lum-
inous cone and darkened room nee
essary, as in the case Of the ordinary
magic lantern.
Any object of suitable size may
be introduced into the lantern-an
open book, a stone, a set of beads,
or a text, rolled and unrolled on
couple of spools. By means Of
set of condensers of one or more
lenses, and reflectors at the back of
the source of light, the object is
photographed upon the screen with
microscopic accuracy, it is claimed,
the whole force of the light pouring
upon the object and rejecting
through the lenses to the screen, OF
any place in the room, from mir
ror which swings on an axis.-Pop-

LIKE STORY OF OLD TIMES
Happenings in Books Written Twenty
or Thirty Years Ago Puzzlinc to
People of Today.

When you go on your vacation
and take some books along you may
include some stories written twenty
or thirty years ago-perhaps an as
venture or detective yarn. You will
not have read long before you find
yourself puzzled. Why didn't the
disabled ship in the Caribbean use
its wireless? Oh, of course-wire-
less had not been invented. And as
you turn over the pages of the tale
of New York life, how quaint it
seems, remarks a writer in the
Brooklyn Standard Union. Why
did the suspect flee from the de-
tective in a Sixth avenue elevated
train? When the beautiful heiress
suddenly decides to go to the coun-
try, the old family coachman drives
her down to the Thirty-fourth street
ferry. No subways, no motorcars
as daily incident of life; the char
acters in the story do perhaps use
telephones, but they never seem to
have heard Of the game of golf, and
they have "clubmen'' and "star. re-
porters" and ''cub reporters" and
other quaint-sounding designations.
and some utterly reckless young
spendthrift couple may spend as
much as $50 month rent for an
apartment. You would almost think
you were reading historical ro-
nance of the period Of Gov. Dewitt
Clinton.

FISHES HAVE sixth SENSE"
Ing Instinct" So Strong in the
Finry Tribe.

How saltwater fish that at GER
tain periods in their lives migrate
to fresh water always find their way
into the same rivers is made clear
by the investigation of experts who
have recently been studying the re-
action of saltwater fish to various
conditions of environment.
1t appears that herring can de-
tect differences in heat and cold as
little as a quarter of degree or less.
They also know when even the
slightest trace of acid or alkali is
present in the water. Some scien-
fists have even proposed that herring
and other fish be used to detect the
presence of chemicals in the water,
just as during the war canaries were
used to discover traces of poisonous
gas.
The Investigators say that salmon
find their way into rivers by means
of the presence of acids or alkalis,
which, of course, varies in different
streams. Even when they are
long way out at sea they can discover
the trace that will lead them to the
bay and the stream they seek. 1t
thus becomes unnecessary to appeal
to ''homing instinct to explain
the return of certain salmon to GER
tain rivers or the running" of her.

hechanical Device, Invention of

Of Enormous Value.

A French inventor has produced
mechanical airplane pilot by
means of which all control except
the actual steering is done either
automatically OF by readily made
adjustments. The device has at
tracted a great deal of attention in
England, where elaborate tests are
now being made at both government
and private airdromes. This ma
chine Is so arranged that the pilot
can retain personal control of the
ailerons and elevator, as well as of
the engine plant and rudder, as long
as he likes, and also has the means,
whenever he desires, to turn over to
the automatic system the control of
the allerons and elevator simulta-
|neously, or of the ailerons alone
but not the elevator alone-and in
addition he can cut out both auto
matte controls, and use. indicators

MADE GOOD IMPRESSION.

Devotees of canned musical
though nowadays it might be called
more appropriately "plated music"
or "saucered music"-will be inter-
ested in the following story from the
Far West:
A new priest took up his residence
in the mining community, bringing
with him his talking machine and a
plentiful supply of records, of which
he was very fond.
1t CHANGED that none of his new
parishioners saw the monograph be-

AUTOMATIC PILOT FOR PLANES.

Apparently the day is at hand
when the navigation of an airplane
will require no more skill and self
reliance than does the driving of a
motor car. A flight has recently
been made from London to Paris
and back, during which, for two
consecutive hours, the pilot was en-
abled to depend entirely upon an
automatic mechanical control for
everything but the actual direction
by means of the steering wheel, says

to be about ready to get down to real
pitching.
Not u Figurea,ead
While this spirit OF determination to
| win Is going to do n lot toward helping
the Phillies, that alone is not enough.
Weak spots must be strengthened and
speed must be added where it IS essen
tial. Donovan means TO do this.
Whether he can carry out his program
in O single season is doubtful, but he
Is going TO show the fans Of Philadel-
phia that he is taking the job as man
ager to manage and not merely to be
a figurehead on the field.
Donovan doesn't expect to win the
Dennant. He doesn't expect to finish
in any definite position. And this in
cludes eighth place, but he does expect
to get everything out of his club that
is in it, and he is going to have the
assistance and corporation of every
man on his roster in carrying out his
plans and developing his ideas. As for
strengthening the club right now, it has
been remarked before that this il not
I the season of the year that this can be
done readily. However, there is still
talk in the mir Of trudes.
The latest gossip is that there is a
three cornercd deal on in which Casey
Stengel would 60 to Brooklyn in cx-
change for Burleigh Grimes and Iack
Wheat TO Boston for Hank Gowdy.
Neither Of these deals would likely be
made separately. because Robinson
he could get man in his place whom
he considered as good. and this would
mean that his trade with Boston would

from the Phillies.
Stengel is very popular in Brooklyn,
and since Wheat has lost good deal OF
his drag with the fans they would well
come the change over in Flntbush. As
for the Phillies' end OF the deal Dono-
van would be willing to give Stengel
for Grimes. Leon Cadore or a hurler
of equal caliber. but he would not so
through with it for Sherrod Smith, and
he said 80.
BY the end of this week there really
will be something to tell of the young
pitchers. They begin a hard six day
grind this morning which ends with
four games against the Washington
club. The first three games will be
played here Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday and the final one Of the week
at the Senators training camp in
Tampa.
Hurlers in Outfeld
From the present outlook Lebourveau
will be the only available Outfieldcr
for the Phillies, as the other gaps will
have to be filled by pitchers. But the
men will get the proper tests, just the
same. and the main thing that Donovan
can get his first real line on the work
of his pitchers under fire.
Business Manager Shettsline has put
the tickets on sale and there is u good

Parking spaces for a hundred motors
have been laid out inside the ball yaru,

To those who have followed closely

,Ss, Il was Wild Bill Donovan who
bpilt the foundation Of the present New

league club. he left Miller Huggins a
