The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1906)

08 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. motion picture, however, he receives the next best information — practical experience. The scientific application of bioscopic records is unlimited. In microscopy remarkable motion pictures have been made illustrating the "unseen worl'd," the life and habits of animals and insects, indelibly fixed upon films for future study and reference. The life history of ants and bees is beautifully illustrated by this animated photographic method. It has also been employed in et-lipsEs, in records of surgical operations, while it is unnecessary to say that one of its most interesting applications is that of recording human life and action. In this respect Mr. Elmendorff has employed it most successfully in his lectures, to which it imparts a tremendous life and vigor that mere words could never do. It is interesting to note that Monsieur A. Giebert, of the French Department of Correction, was in this country recently studying methods of capital punishment, France desiring to find some more humane method of putting criminals out of existence than by the guillotine. He secured many important points through the biograph. Prominent manufacturers of films in speaking the other day of the tremendous demand for moving pictures, said: "Among all the nations of the world the Japanese are among our best customers. They are intensely keen in regard to everything that shows the interior workings of American establishments, the factory, the hotel, the store, the municipal and governmental buildings. We sent a portrayal of the Postoffice Department and that vied in popularity with the Westinghouse factories. We have even received orders for a packing house series from another country, but that is still in abeyance." VENEZUELA'S TARIFF ON MACHINES.
