on the top of a large building, so that as much light will be available as pos¬ sible, and a perfect galaxy of furni¬ ture, scenery and equipments of all TRADE DIRECTORY. kinds will be necessary to assist the performers to make a life-like repre¬ sentation of imaginary but thrilling and delightful incidents. It must not be thought that the pictures which are shown us of life on a cattle ranch, events of distant lands, and so forth, are mere delusions. The wonderful artifice of the cinematograph stage is only resorted to in the case of pro¬ duction of purely imaginary or fan¬ tastical pieces. Enormous expenditure is necessary to obtain many of the animated pictures which give us such instructive ideas of what goes on in other lands, and the men who secure them are often of high standing and considerable ability. Marvelous photographs have been taken of bird life, when the operator has had to conceal his apparatus most ingeniously from the birds, and ani¬ mated pictures have been obtained — only after infinite patience and the employment of noiseless machinery — of the mother bird feeding her young in the nest, and of similar and equally fascinating subjects, all of which it would be impossible to observe in or¬ dinary circumstances. Pond life has been cinematographed by means of special micro-photographic apparatus, and even the movements of bacteria — the smallest organisms known to the scientist — recorded. As regards the rapidity with which daily events can be photographed, and shown within an hour or two to the general public, the following account of the arrangements made for the Grand National 1907 Race will suffice to give some idea. Six taking ma¬ chines were at work on different points of the race course, and a special van was in readiness for the films to be developed while en route for London. The moment the race was over the train started, and while running full speed homeward the operators were hard at work developing. Indeed, not only were the films developed, but they were washed and dried on a spe¬ cial mechanical drum. On arrival, a motor car in waiting carried the film quickly to the printing establishment, where, five hundred and twenty feet of it was printed on to the positive film. As soon as this was dried it was rushed off to the Alhambra, Empire and Oxford theatres and shown to an almost incredulous audience. When the final cup tie was played at the Crystal Palace a motor car drove the film to London, and within three hours a cinematograph display of the match was given. The royal wedding which took place at Wood Norton was another occasion on which remarkable celerity was displayed by the energetic cine¬ matographers. The Bourbon bride¬ groom and the procession — a view of which will be of permanent interest owing to the number of crowned heads which were present — were pho¬ tographed with apparatus which had been perfectly adjusted beforehand.
