Movies Make Target.

An ingenious adaptation of moving pictures to a shooting gallery has been made by an Englishman. In this gallery the marksmen have the satisfaction of shooting at rapidly moving deer or other animals, and the success of their shots Is automatically recorded. In the rear of the gallery Is a metal screen painted white." The pictures are thrown on this screen and the rapidly moving objects serve in place of > a target, and afford much more excitement. By means of an electrical device in back of the screen a shot that strikes a mortal spot.,on the deer, or whatever the mark may be, is Inßtantly recorded in the front of the gallery. The marks also Bhow on the white paint, and after these marks become too numerous the Bcreen can be painted over again.
