we pass the Cement Plant; an experi- mental village of buildings in which Mr. Edison worked out the success- ful details of his new process for making Portland Cement. Here stood, until very recently, the old building known as the Black Maria. When the Kinetoscope was first introduced, nearly all the subjects were taken in this peculiar structure. It was arranged so that it could be revolved on a great central pivot; as it was then necessary that bright sunlight should fell directly on the objects photographed. Quicker lenses and more sensitive films have changed these conditions; and now there is a large studio in New York, fitted up expressly with stage scenery for the work, where all moving pic- tures except out-door views are taken. The Wax Plant is reached at last.
