Tcmlty of Pc [ Philadelphia Record ] > Interesting experiments in instantane-- "ous photography are being made by Edward Muybridgeat the university of Pennsylvania. A space on the college grounds has been set apart with a high board fence surrounding three sides of the inclosure ; the fence has been painted a bright white. On the fourth side there is a , shed covered with black material , while the ground is covered with an inch of coal dust. This is the background and directly opposite is a little structure , with an open front , con taining twelve cameras. Saturday the lenses were covered with double rubber shutters , and each was held in place by" a latch. Each of these-latches was con nected with a wire and so arranged that the closing of an electric circuit would liberate the shutters and for the thou sandth part of a second permit light to shine into the camera. A splendidly-developed young student , a member of the university crew , stripped to the skin , was photographed in various attitudes. He took his posi tion in front of the'row of cameras. At a signal he seized a bucket of water , raised it in the air and tossed away ( ho contents. The instant he moved , > [ y. Muybridge touched an electric button. A series of sharp clicks sounded as in rapid succession the shutters of each camera 'were freed. As the last click sounded the water was falling to the ground , and twice photographs had boon taken of the young mail , representing twelve phases of the-movements through which his body went while lifting the pail and emptying it of water. Even the water itself was photographed as just leaving the pail , again as falling , and again as reaching the ground. The young athlete was also photo graphed ; pulling a rowing-machine , climbing a ladder , striking a ball , and other movements designed to bring Ids muscles into full play. The actions and motions of two cripples were successfully transferred to plate. Studies were made of a nude female model. Instead of a row of cameras exposed in succession , six cameras were concentrated upon the model's ligure one in front , one be hind , and four others so as to give side views at different angles and all were exposed simultaneously for a fraction of the second during which she was making the specified movement. Mr. JIuybriclge's experiments are under the supervision of a committee of the university faculty , composed of Provost vest Pepper , Professor Harrison Allen , Dr. Leidy , Professor George E. Barker , Professor Marks , Professor Huidekeper of the veterinary department , Professor Aikeus of the academy of fine arts , and Dr. D.ercum. Photographs will be taken to show the consecutive phases-of motion of se lected men and women whileperforming ; muscular exercises and different me chanical operations , .as. carpentry and blacksmithing ; the movements of per sons suffering from palsy and diseases of the joints , showing exactly how the gait is affected , and analyzing accurately the abnormal action of the muscles ; \the movements of horses , dogs , and otiier animals at different rates of speed ; the aerial locomotion of birds on the wing , and the methods of propulsion of marine mammals , aquatic-birds and fish. Tlie Secret of Brcctllnjj Race-Horses. [ Bell's Life. ] While the purchasers of Lord Fal- inouth's mares must be thinking of what they must do in the future , it may not be amiss to say a few words respecting the great success that has attended the Cornish nobleman as a breeder of blood stock. It is admitted on all sides that his success in this department has bei n unrivalled , and that even the achieve ments of Sir Joseph Hawley and Mr. Mtrry cannot be compared with the efforts of the noble lord during the period he has devoted to the rearing of race-horses. It is my purpose to say something on the theory practiced by Lord Faltnouth , which perhaps explains more than anything his unexampled success. The late Dr. Shorthouse always de manded as a sine qua non in the pro duction of a really first-class racer that tne stout and really excellent blood should preponderate on the side of the dam , and for a stud-horse vice versa , i. e. , that the stouter blood should be on the sire's side. On this principle has Lord Ealmouth acted , and by means of this principle all his greatest successes may be explained. The tap-roots of the now scattered Mereworth stud are Sil- verhair , Hurricane , and Queen Bertha , and all three were racers of some merit. Those marcs , it should be noticed , were very stoutly bred , and their stout blood largely predominated on the dam's side , and this is a desideratum in a brood mare , although a great drawback and preventive of success in a sire. , I have no space in the present article , but will some time endeavor to show that where male members oC a certain family have been great failures at the stud'as in the cases of King Tom , Stockwcll , Rataplan , Melbourne , Or lando , etc. , whose sous were mostly con spicuous failures , their daughters were , rm the contrary , great successes. On the other hand , the sons of Kcwminster , as [ i rule , did very well at the stud , but very few of his daughters produced anir inals of any merit. Excellence of blood is maintained in the female line for a considerable length of time , and to this is due the success which has attended Lord Falmouth as a breeder.
