CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method of Timing Race Is Declared
to Be Beyond All Possibility
of Error.

The moving picture camera is to be
put to a new use; it is to time exactly
the runners in a race.
When two competitors come in very
close together it is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first,
and often two men are so near that
the result is declared a dead-heat.
In all cases probably one Of the men
is fraction in front Of the other, but
the eye is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now a clock is to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
In they will be photographed with
kinema- camera, which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part of Sec
ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth of an inch in front
of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the flash
of the pistol will be reflected in the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time of the clock to hundredth
of a second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time Of the finish, and the
exact time of the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead
heats in running matches.

CHINA'S WALL is CRUMBLING
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 B. Co.
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to the great wall OF
China, which is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Peking, describe it as
slowly crumbling. Many of the tur-
rets which command it's salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet it is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet, has many cen
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve 1t.
Construction of the wall was be-
gun 200 B. @: by Emperor Chih Huang-
II, a contemporary Of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars. At one time 100000 GRIM
mails and prisoners Of war were en-
gagged in the work. The main part OF
the wall, however, was not undertaken
untn the Seventh century, when, it is
said. 1000 900 workers were employed.
