to the limit I of twentylive loumls there was a total I of 40600 feet of the negative Him con sumed this means even and two thirds miles This band of film Is I two and thrrequarttrs inches wide and Is

coat of the material required The electric equipment equip-ment utilized In illuminating the scene was very extensive and was carried out In a manner hitherto unattPmntod UP to the evening of September 30th no moving picture has been successfully taken by electric light Condensing lenses l and perfect parabolic reflectors were so expensive as to render their use prohibitive A compromise had to be effected and a reflector was actually devised and approximately correct inform I in-form Uhkh had the effect of bundling the rays of light from the 100arc lamps used bundling them In such shape us to emerge from the arc in a mOle or less I parallel direction The success of the undertaking was made possible also on account of the wellknown fact that In photography one times for shadows Jetting Jet-ting the lights take care of themselxes I n this installation the lamps were st > arranged as to kill their own shadows that is 1 speaking roughly what 300 lamps l Illuminated from the front 100 lamps l illuminated from the back and sides Four hundred arc lamps were 5 used In eleven rows about thirtysix lamps l being included in u row Each lamp l was appioximately as powerful I as the regulation street lamp Jt will be noted that there was enough light over the twentyfourfoot ring in which the contest took place to efficiently illuminate illu-minate a city or 50000 Inhabitants That this unheardof concentration of light was not disturbing or Inconvenient to the contestants and those Immediately about the ring has been universally conceded I and this t Is a fart lo marvel about The explanation Is very simple and is to be found in I the fact that the eye will accommodate Itself to Intensities Intensi-ties of light and darkness In a very few moments through the aotlon of
