WASHINGTON. July 3.—The fas- titration of the slow motion picture has been tested and proved by the Department of Agriculture. A reel showing the gaits of horses has proved one of the mostvpopular films over made by the Government. “is not. so long since nobody knew how a horse ran. The horse was a favorite subject for artists. and tney painted it dashing around Ro- m’n't; race tracks. escaping from fires. and carrying excited ,iovers bent on eloping. But these artists. who had presumably studied horses in action. invariably painted them racing with the legs stretched front and back in the long. graceful lines of a. hobby horse. it was Remington who first painted a racing horse with its legs bunched together. He thereby attracted to himself ridicule and sco‘rn. but other close observers took another look and upheld Remington's ideas. Horses in art began to run with more realistic technique. ‘ That there was so much inaccurate observation of hoi‘sesseems naturalI considering the speed of a fine h0l‘St‘.l It is true that some mathematician did 5 demonstrate logically that a horse's legs could never work quickly enough to carry him a mile in two minutes; This record. however. has been reach- ed and passed many times since the mathematician's announcement was: made. and a race horse in action in never a favorable oblr‘ct for analytical, study by the unassisted eye. Now. the, high speed camera shows; exactly how n horse trots, cantcrs.‘ paces. and gallops, and it is shown. of. course, beyond any doubt that Rch lncton was right.

It is some years since Professor Muybridge made his famous experiment of photographing race horses in" action. At the request of Senator Stanford. who bred fine horses, Muybridge. located a number of cameras at set points along the Palo Alto race Rack. and attached threads to the cameras. These threads ran across the track. so that as the horse broke through each thread a picture would be taken. \Vhen these pictures were put together in a series. s idea could be ob- tained as to the motions of the horse. Specded ”L'p Ten Times Then came the motion picture camera. but “could not be used to analyze motion because pictures can not be satisfactorily run off at a speed of less than sixteen a second. At a slower rate of projection the pic- tures do not fuse one into another, and the effect of continuoys motion is lost. A camera had to be invented to take pictures ten times as fast in projection. The Government's horse film is said to be the first picture eyer made analyzing the different gaits of horses. The pictures of jumping technique were. taken at the National Horse Show last year. One of General Pershing's horses. Dandy Dude. was used to demonstrate the jumps. Running pictures were made at the charge was filmed at Fort Myer. The varied career of this picture indicates the uses to which the slow motion picture can be and is being put. These films are mostly exhibit- ed as novelties.

Copies ha been shown in practically every . own in Kentucky. where interests in horses runs high. The picture has also traveled through the North and South and as far west as Kansas. After one college class in horse husbandry had reviewed the film. the professor declared that. the students had Learned more about gaits of horses in fifteen minutes than they had previously learned in the term's work. ‘ The army remount service is using the Government picture to demon- strate good points in gaits and con- formation to buyers of horses for the Army. Calvary men are being shown how to sit and how to handle their mounts in different gaits. And horse associations are interested in the film since it displays standards of form and gait which they are working to promote. No Startling Discoveries Made. It is not recorded that any startling discoveries regarding horses have been made through this firm analysis of their locomotion. The gaits of horses have been studied by breeders and riders for years and for the most part the high speed camera confirms accepted theories. There. are other creatures. however, that may be shown to us in a. new light by. rapid camera studies. The soaring of birds. for instance. has never been analyzed. and even a high speed camera can not take pictures quickly enough to show the action of swiftly fiying birds. This sort of thing is being analyzed by an ultra. rapid camera. invented by C. Francis Jenkins. of this city. In the slow motion pictures which you see occasionally in a theatre the action is about one-tenth as fast. The camera takes about 160 pictures a second instead of the usual sixteen. The Government pictures we‘re taken at a slightly lower speed than this. Mr. Jenkins takes pictures at. a. .. m9- 'r New-orthodornagowmght by the recent storm was naturally of grave concern to Henry Nelson, but. owing to the fact that lines were down. about his only source of in- formation. during the days inimo- diatoly following it. was tho press reports.

Now Gray's name in print. affected the bunker almost as disagreeably as did a. fore it was with intense rucntmcnt that he read the article in which it appeared. It was a. vividly written account of the farmer's experience during the flood. and. due no doubt to Gray's personal touch. it road I good deal like fiction. 3 Hl‘rlu. ..

This means that the mo- tions when shown are one-tenth to one-thirtieth the speed 'of the slow pictures you generally see. Mr. Jenkins has shown the exact motion of s. pigeon's wing. which no one had even been able to guess at. His pic- tures demonstrated that the back stroke. when the wings touch the head. propelsthe bird, while the for- ward stroke. when the wings meet under the body, sustains the pigeon in the air. .This sort of data. is of interest to aviators. and it is thought possible that further studies of bird fiight may reveal information which will help men in flying; Other questions which the ultra rapid camera can answer relate to the course and type of motion of a cannon, ball. The . theories of ballistics as- sume that “the ball takes a certain course: but does it? Whether the recoil of n,gun»is lumpy or steadyir another point awaiting demonstration by camera analysis. ’ Tho ultra. rapid camera. the inven- tor says. is for science and engineer- ing. The rate of the motions is too slow for the pictures to be displayed popularly. A dive from a. spring- board which would take a swimmer only a. few seconds seems a long, tedious flight. and descent in the ultra rapid camera. Two interesting points were shown clearly in a. picture of this type. One was the force and effort concentrated in the divers arm muscles. The other fact shown related to the water. After the first splash of spray. as the swimmer displaced the water. there followed the secondary splash due to water rushing in to fill the space left by the body. This second splash was shown to be higher than the first. Mr. Jenkins compares his camera to a high powered microscope. Just as the microscope magnifies objects. so the camera magnifies motion. And Mr. Jenkins adds that the powerful rapid firing camera like the powerful microscope is revealing things about nature that men never dreamed of. V.

The navy also has the following trade schools open to men first entering the service: Electrical. machinist. coppersmith. radio. yeoman and musican schools. Men desirous of entering any of the above schools may do so after eight weeks training at the Navy training station. Newport, R. 1.
