The Modern Historic Records Association
History in the future may not be recorded in ponderous tomes and put upon a shelf for future generations to read. A new organization has been formed that proposes to take advantage of the phonograph and the moving picture machine in the work of recording history.
The honorable president of the new organization is President Taft. the acting president is Herbert L. Bridgman of Brooklyn, and the other officers and directors are : Vice presidents, Major General F. D. Grant, L. S. A.; Rear Admiral R. E. Peary, Justice Victor J. Dowling. Dr. George F. Kunz. John Barrett, Colonel D. L. Brainard. U. S. A.; Alexander Konta; treasurer, Louis Manfield Ogden ; secretary. William Trowbridge Earned ; assistant secretary. Chloise H. Lee.
The new organization intends to make it possible for the future historian not only to record the fact that a battle took place at a certain place, and on a certain date, but to be able to reproduce the actual scene of the conflict.
These are not to be imaginary pictures, but to be actual reproductions by means of the photographic camera and moving picture machine. The Modern Historic Record A--ociation has already prompted Frenchmen
to consider the possibility of preserving, by means of phonographic records, the disappearing dialects of the French provinces. The newly formed association intends to do the same thing for the American Indian. They point out that the Redman is vanishing and there is no systematic record of him. He enters largely into the moving picture show, in the innumerable spectacular -cenes of wild western life, but these records are not what is desired in the way of reliability by the association.
Scientific Use for the Motion Picture
One of the mose recent application of moving picture film in scientific observation i made b) L. Ilartmann at Paris, and he finds that it is a great aid in the study of the deformation of metals when strongly compressed by the hydraulic press. In some cases he usesa bras tube of 3 inches diameter and 0.04 inches thickness of metal and observes the appearance of the surface when the tube is flattened out by pressure. Sometimes the mhes are rilled with a liquid and then compressed. Various figure appear on the surface of the metal, and moving picture view are taken at the rate of fifteen per ond. By throwing the view on a screen it i easier to study the effect than by direct observation.
