He had learned the trick of follow

camera in panorama. AS his expert
ness grew in handling his multiplied
condenser. and in drawing differences
swiftly from records, running through
only the significant ones and letting
the worthless ones escape, he covered
an enormous amount of ground and
time. A moving ribbon of paper be-
meath his control board recorded now
in curved and periodic figures the set
of his dialS. On this he marked rec
ordS for remaking, when they suggest

quest or for other purposes. A point

worn. Why, it might even be possible
to run man down like chicken by
letting him feel this unremitting Argus
pursuit! 1t would make a pastime par
excellence, if one wished to strike with
