Geological Survey Engineer
Makes Experiment in 1873,
Which Develops New Art.

One dav in 1873 a group of Cali
fornia race horse men got into
heste dispute.
Some of them maintained that at
one stage IN a race all four hoofs OF
a trctting horse were off the ground.
Others insisted that at least one
hoof was on the track every second
With little prospect of settling the
dispute one of them thought of 4

The Englishman found that none

but he was by no means convinced.

pra ctically placed the industry on the
1ootins which it has today.
<MuybridEe, Mr.. Olmstead pointed
ouA probably had little idea of the
moving picture when he started MS
work< But the success of his eXperl
ment Mith the motions OF the race
horse gave him the idea that better
ocntfnuouA pictures could be taken
with more experimenting. He still
was primarily interested in securing
a halter recoAi of the movement OIL

scientific value. He had no idea OF

exreriments designed to obtain more
instantaneous exposures.
Projects Screen Series.
Finally he did reach the point where
he could project on screen q series
of pictures, which. after an observer
had looked at them steadily for q Few
minutes gave the impression or one
continuous picture of horse in mo-
ton. This was long before the days
of the Aim. Muybridge had to rely
upon a succession Of cameras. each

plate. A speed of 900 shots minute
ie not unusual in the motion picture
of today. To have done this 1t would
have been necessary for the inventor
to have set up 900 cameras In row
with some connection which would
serve to operate the shutters IN RAPID
succession. But he had succeeded IN
enabling one pair of eyes to see as
much as "a could have seen before
and this was considered a great trt-
umph.
Word of Muybridge's experiments
reached France, where the great ar
tist, MISSIONER, had been working on
somewhat the same problem. Me1s-
sonier also was not interested In pro-
ducing a motion picture as such, but
merely as a means of learning more

for use In his painting. He invited
the engineer to lecture in Paris.
In the French capital, Muybridge
was received as a hero. He became
for a time a social lion and was looked
upon everywhere as one of the great
est living inventors.
Edison Not Interested.
After Winter in Paris he returned
to the United States, where he heard
Of a young inventor named Thomas
Edison, who had recently invented a
talking machine operated by a disk.
He went to Edison with the proposal
that they work together with the idea
Of combining the two principles. Edi-
son, however, was not interested. The
film, 1t must be remembered, still was
far off and the celebrated inventor
could see no future in throwing a sue

The next step was taken by George
Eastman. the camera manufacturer

his invention to making r7cvfng pic

Muybridge called his invention the
