Show PHOTOGRAPHING THE BULLETS! i If a photograph of a speeding bullet I could be taken the print would prcb- ! ably show- a space like a body cf water tr.arked by what looked like ' s r-r'-iir.; water buss, each having a : t''" :n its wrke.

The faster you 1 c'rtiw the stick the more waves and i 'r.i wider the angle will it leave. The i i:er the stick is drawn the fewer", the waves. Just so the bullet, r marks the New York Sun. If it is traveling slowly no waves can be photographed, as apparentlv there are none. Photographs of a bullet going at a rate of speed less than 1.200 fet a second show no air waves at al' This is an interesting scientific discoverv Eut anything cutting throurt the air at a greater rate than this disturbs the atmosphere to such great extent that air waves are formed and can be photographed- |
