MARVEL OF CINEMATOGRAPHY!

Wonderful Apparatus Invested by Drj Cranz of the Military Academy of Berlin. A cinematograph apparatus which, takes pictures with intervals of one! five-thousandth of a second has been; Invented hy Dr. Cranz of the Military J Academy of Berlin- A striking exam-; pie of the power of the apparatus! shows a bullet fired at a bladder ofj water that is hung on a string. The/ eye only sees a little smoke] from the pistol and a couple of hdlesi In the bladder, from which the waterj runs; but when this is cinematoH graphed and the film is shown slowlyj a very interesting series of operations] can be watched. i First the bullet is seen approaching.) It is traveling 1,000 feet a second, butj it seems to move quite deliberately] In front of It and extending a longj way above anfi below It is a dim line,] bent sharply immediately before the! bullet. A bullet can no more pass! through air than a vessel can through! water without making a wave; andi this is the air wave. It is made visible) on account of its different density,! Just as the waves in air are seen above a chimney or over hot ground. Behind the bullet come scattered! grains of the powder that have noti been burned, and traveling more slow-, ly still comes the wad. The bullet en-i ters the bladder and disappears Inside, a little water spurting out of the hole it makes. Then it reaches the; other side, but it no longer cuts through at once, as it did when the bladder was hacked up hy the water. Something like a finger seems toi push the bladder outward into a long; tube, then the tube opens and lets out the bullet, -which gradually travels away.—London correspondence New York Sun.
