[ 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.
