The Famous Inventor Has Perfected a Tiny Machine with Non-inflammable Film, Which Throws a Picture 2 x 11-2 Feet — Would Use It in the Schools — In This Way Many Topics Like Geography Would Become More Interesting and Innumerable Stories Could Be Told in An Effective Way. Thomas A. Edison, the veteran inventor, sent over two of his assistants to the Astor House last week to demonstrate for the instruction and edification of a group of experts and reporters the actual workings of his very latest— the Home kinetoscope. This invention, which is the product of a great deal of labor and a great deal of money, is simply a miniature moving picture machine, a biograph that a child can handle, and that an ordinary living room can hold. Its chief difference from the ordinary commercial kinetoscope lies in the fact that it is very simple, very compact and that its films are non-inflammable. Parlor L in the old downtown hostelry was de voted to the demonstration, and the little machine, about as large as a talking machine, was set up about twenty feet from an aluminu/n screen, a film, not much larger than a narrow typewriter ribbon, was adjusted, the connec ion was made with the nearest chandelier socket, and off started the story on tlie screen. The pictures shown vary in size, according to the strength of the lens used, the size of the machine and the distance from the screen. The ones produced were about two feet by a foot and a half. The machine will project a picture on your visiting card, held close, ft will project on a screen sixty feet away. The ben home results, however, are obtainable at a distance ranging jjrom fifteen to twenty-five feet, but a perfectly distinct and satisfactory series can be run off with the machine and the screen only ten feet apart. The films, both as to their size and their material, presented the most kno'.ty problem Mr. Edison had to deal with. So far all those prepared for demonstration, have been made by reducing from films already prepared for commercial use. Mr. Edison has a system of reversing the ordinary photographer's process of enlargement, and his result is a tiny, thin ribbon of film, eighty feet at the longest, which carries in infinitesimal proportions the material for moving pictures that take sixteen minutes to operate. This reduction is brought about, both by a contraction of the aclual pictures on the film and a tripling of the pictures on a given film length, for each film has three rows of pictures which are run off successively. A tiny white spot appearing on the picture, and therefore on the screen, is the warning to the operator that one row is nearly finished, and that it is time to reverse the course of the turning. The three rows are run off without an objectionable break, and the space saving is considerable, for a single foot of the Home kinetoscope film will contain 210 pictures, seventy in each row. The eighty feet of film corresponds to a thousand feet of commercial film. The reversing process neederi for this space-saving enables the facetious operator to have a vast amount of amusement by reversing the film at the wrong time so that the reporters were diverted by the sight of whirling, agile people falling into, instead of out of, trolley cars, and particularly by the vision of Niagara Falls falling toward the sky. According to Mr. Phillips and Mr. Gill, the two demonstrators who showed the invention, the films have withstood all tests of their non-inflammability and their non-explosiveness. But Mr. Edison's great dream is one of education by moving pictures, and, according to Mr. Phillips, the children in Public School 155 are saving up to buy one of the new machines for theii own edification. A text book publisher is already on the road looking into the possibilities, and he is arranging to have scenarios made from school books. SIGNS FOR COLUMBIA DEALERS. Publicity Plans Perfected by Columbia Phonograph Co. in Order to Help Their Dealers — Opportunity of Securing an Army of Silent Salesmen. The Columbia Phonograph Co., General, New York, is launching a new departure in up-to-date advertising. In a letter and circular mailed to the trade on April 23 the company outlines a salei promotion plan for the benefit of its dealers. The plan in brief is this: The Columbia Co. will supply one hundred steel signs, printed in colors, of the "Roadside" variety, the dealers name and town will be printed on each sign. The signs are made of the best government thirty guage steel and are good for at least three years. The wording is lithographed directly onto the steel and embossed, and each sign is punched so it can be wired to any fence or nailed to any suitable surface. This plan offers the dealer an opportunity of securing an army of hustling silent salesmen. The signs well posted on the highways will constantly impress the dealer's name, business and location upon the minds of the purchasing public. The arrangement should appeal particularly to the dealers who are desirous of reaching suburban trade. The offer of one hundred signs, printed and ready for posting for $10.75, is worthy of much serious consideration. The company announces that May 25 is the last day which they will accept orders for the signs. They will be shipped about June 25. COLUMBIA LINE WITH KESSNER. The talking machine adjunct of the large department store of the J. L. Kessner Co., Twentythird street and Sixth avenue, New York, has added the Columbia line of talking machines. The Victor is also carr.'ed. Leading Jobbers of Talking Machines in America Paste This Where You Can Always See It!
