HELPS AND HINTS. A Dodge for Manufacturers. The writing of a title before the eyes of the audience is not novel perhaps, but the method here described for the making of a film, which will give this effect upon the screen is new; and, as it involves but very simple appli- ances to make, the idea should be of some value to the trade. A light-tight box E is provided with a hole at G through which the lens of a kinematograph camera can be inserted. A mirror F is placed at an angle of 45 degrees in relation to the optical axis of the lens. At the top of the box the end is left open and a recess is made to receive the glass plate at D and C. This plate, which is also shown in Fig. 2, forms the original title slide from which the film picture is copied. To prepare the title, soot is precipitated upon one surface of the glass by smoking it over a candle or oil lamp. The wording should be carefully done and written in reverse order, like the word "novel" on Fig. 2. By giving the title a second but thinner coating of soot, solid effects may be given to the lettering. When the title is finished thus far, the opposite side of the glass is densely sooted. It is now laid in the groove of the box, with the title downwards, at C, and the last coating of soot upwards, at D. The operation of copying is now carried out in the open air, with the object of getting a sky-light. The camera having been adjusted, and the title-slide placed in position, simultaneously with the operating of the camera, an assistant rubs off the soot from the surface D, and in doing so allows the sky-light to penetrate the lettering on the under surface, at C. Care should be taken to rub off the soot in the order of the lettering. The finished positive film, when projected in the usual manner, will present the white lettering upon the screen,
