An expedition is in preparation

he has also more definite prospects
Of discoveries in the remnants of a
civilization some thousands of years
old located in the province of Mos

But the more romantic quest is

earth. A great number of scientists
have looked fol it in all sorts of
likely and unlikely places. DR.. Roy
Chapman Andrews chose the Cobb
desert; others have dug into Meso-

Cinema Traced to Idea
of Photographic "Gun"

Although it is not possible to say
that any one person definitely in
vented the cinematograph, writes the
Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, large share of
credit for the development of this
machine is undoubtedly due to the
great French scientist. Etienne Marcy.
One of his pupils. Prof. Charles
Richet, in recalling his outstanding
achie' ements. described him as "the
immortal creator of the cinemato-
graph"
nj. Marcy made important contribu-
tions to physiology, as student of
the circulation of the blood, TO medi-
cine, to flying and to the cinema. Pos.
sibly it was his interest in the move
ments Of animals, and particularly
the flight of birds, which led him to
concentrate his attention on the max
ing of knowing" pictures. In 1882 he
made a Photographic "gun" with
which he was able to take sixty pic
lures second of birds in flight. By
1898 he had produced serviceable
cameras and projecting instruments.
and it is claimed that these were the
first true cinematograph recording
and projecting machines.

USE OF KITCHEN WALL SPACE

One Of the tests of convenience in
kitchen is good use of wall space in
arranging the various work centers.
The "kitchenette" in the modern
apartment is the final word in getting
all necessary equipment for food prep
aratiOn into the smallest possible
space. The kitchens and serving places
on yachts and ships, too, have long
been models of efficient compactness.
The dining car is another excellent
Illustration of what may be done with
limited. narrow, serving quarters even
when meals are provided for a num-
ber of people.
Fortunately most of us who live in
houses do not need to compress our
kitchen workshop into quite such
cramped quarters as the average
kitchenette, ships galley" or dining
car pantry. Too large kitchen means
a great deal of walking about in doing
the housework, so we are always glad
to strike a happy medium with a
kitchen floor area ranging from about
"a to 10S square feet. The exact size
will usuo 'ly depend OH the shape of
the room, the placing of doors and
windows, and the wall space required
for such large equipment as the stove,
sink, kitchen cabinet, and refrigerator.
Sometimes a still smaller area can
be made convenient by placing the re-
frigerator elsewhere and dispensing
with a ready-built kitchen cabinet
