A short time ago In New York Houdtnl was placed In a box and the box nailed up. taken out on a tuft off the battery, bat-tery, heavily weighted and thrown overboard. over-board. Although shackled and handcuffed Inside the box, Houdinl made his escape es-cape and came to the surface, where he was picked up by the tug. Houdinl performed this feat several times and later incorporated ft into his act. Then he conceived the idea of photographing pho-tographing while at the bottom of the sea. Photographic scientists explained to him the impossibility of doing anything of the kind, explaining that a camera in water to work on the sensitized silver of the photographic emulsion must have light, and no light could penetrate into the depths. Houdinl then invented a storage battery scheme by which the camera furnished its own light and he had a camera rebuilt airtight and watertight, which he carried down with him. After freeing himself from the box. he pressed a bulb on the camera and the scientific world is still marveling at the result of his work, showing show-ing a picture of sea life taken in the ocean s depths.
