The pictures thrown orrtothe screen, measure 6ft by sft; and , every detail is clearly brought ou'. The apparatus is worked by an e'ectiic rpachine which develops a very high raie of sp'e'ci, tbe : ■•'power.being, contained in two Storage batteries. That great speed is required may be judged from the f-cb that 2000 pictures are shown with such rapidity they appear like one. pictures are taken oft a long ribbou-like'film about an inch and a quarter in width. On each tide of the film are small riund hoes—sprocket holes—by which ifcis moved over the rapidly revolving diurii, the sprocke'e on the drum catching and drawipg' the film as the machinery itnoves—an adni'rably adjusted fan, moving between the powerful calcium ligit and the moving film, cuts from ihe reproduction of the pictnse ihe space which is between each tiny picttre. So admirably iis this fanlike adjustment timed that the spectator cannot detect any space on the screen between e'ch picturf,;and such is the rapidity that the p : ctures merge irto each other without break and with lifelike ! fidelity. The views a c most interesting, i. ua comprise a laiga variety of subjects. A number of new films hare b»en received, one of them giving s rep?odu:tion of a skrit I danoe being particulariy fiup, '
