SEEN THROUGH A CAMERA. Principles of Animal Locomotion as Shown by Instantancous Photographs. ‘MR. MUYBRIDGE> TALKS TO THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY— HOW ARTISTS HAVE IGNORED NATURE—RQUESTRIAN ‘STATUES THAT VIOLATE NATURAL LAWS—POSSIBILITY OF PHOTOGRAPHING A CANNOY BALL IN ITS PLIGHT. Mr. Edward Muybridge, the photographer whose work with the camera has thrown much light upon the subject of antmal locomotion, at- tended the meeting of the Biological society Satur- day night and displayed a series of photographs. Mr. Muybridge has been at work for many months under the auspices of the University of Pennsyl- vania, The first year’s work was somewhat futile, owing to the difficulty of securing plates of suMl- cient sensitiveness to record the impression of an infinitesimal fraction of a second. Among his hearers Saturday evening was Mr, A. R. Wallace, the distinguished English naturalist, now visiting this city. Mr. Muybridge’s photographs are mounted on large cards. The views are in serles of twelves, placed side by side, illustrating each the successive attitudes or positions taken by man in making a stride, a horse in cantering or galloping, a bird in flying. Some of the series re- Present photographs taken from different points of view at the saine instant, Thus a man walk- ing 1s photographed at right angles to the line of motion; again trom a point in front of the man, and again, from the flank or rear, 20, the photo” graphs when properly ‘Ment and: lon ofthe ly. BATTERIES OF CAMERAS. ‘Mr. Muybridge stated that at each point of view a battery of twelve cameras are placed. The ex- Posures are made with the rapidity of thought by means Gee me The whole chain of cameras {s con! icately adjusted a} ratus that tes the ime, cath camera doing its work ata given instant, so that the twelve Plates reproduce twelve sucosasive attitudes, and ‘he time consumed in the work is recorded by a chronograph. Much interest was shown by Mr. allies and other by as ae a Che of pictures: resenting rht of a pigeon in line slowly ascending. “These ‘plecures revealed. & forward movement of the wings, Mr. Wallace suggested that a similar series representing the fight of a butterfly would afford an interesting study. Mr. Muybridge’s pictures representing an- imals in various modes of locomotion are well known. Many of them, espectally those recording the attitude of a horse in full gallop, or on a can- ter, med grotesque, in view of the impression generally supposed made on the eye in observin; 8 horse gallop and the conventional ideas followe: by artista. Mr. Muybridge saidjthe ancient Greeks, in their art, were truer to nature in the representa- tion Of the action of the limbs of animals than our modern artists, The Indians of this country, in their rude representations of horses, were more early correct than the g1 painters and seulp- of the day. In Parishe saw a robe taken from this country by the Marquis de Lafayette which had been decorated er indraw ines by Indians, On this appeared horses on the gallop, with all four legs drawn under their bodiesor in other attitude which the camera had proved to be truthful, but wiulen had not been recognized by civilized ar- Usts, UNTRUTHFUL. EQUESTRIAN STATUES. In the equestrian statues of Europe and of this country, he said, nature was distorted. The horse of the Scott statue fn this city, he said, was repre- nted in an attitude which no horse ever did ssune, or could assume, in walking. He ob- served, also, that the moveinent of all animals ia galloping was precisely the same, and that after thelr fight through the air they came to the ground first on one of the hind feet, Artists, he sald, had begun to recognize the truth regarding this’ matter of animal locomotion, and he hi observed in recent numbers of the Century horses depicted in natural positions. He combatted the idea that one who. ed closely a horse in a gallop, having first rid hitnself of his preconcetved Opinion, would at any time recetve the tinpression of an animal with his fore legs thrust forward and his hind legs backward at the same fnstant, a5 1s, generally ‘represented in art. ‘The impression Would be that of,an animal ‘with the fore legs drawn under the body. The coliection of photo- graphs represented, among other things, athletes wrestling, a ball-player striking a Dall, w cricketer bowling and another batting, a woman carrying water, a child running, and a babe leaving its Mother's arms and taking its first steps. Some of the pictures represented falling water or spray, the drops being photographed like snowflakes, PHOTOGRAPHING A CANNON BALL. Mr. Muybridge, referring tothe statement of a Tecent Parisian sclentist, that the camera and plates had been so perfected as to take an impres- sion in one thousandth part of a second, said that in recent experiments at the University of Penn- yivania iUhad been demonstrated that impres- sions had been taken in one stx-thousandth part of a second. Assuming that an impression could be taken tn one five-thousandth of a second, a cannon ball eight inches long, having a velocity Of 1,600 feet per second, could be photographed in its fight, but would appear elongated to twelve inches, ————+e+-______ Why the Signal Corps Should be ‘Transferred. To the Editor of Tae EveNtNo STAR: Ihave read “X. Y. Z.’s” article “Opposed to the Transfer” in your Saturday’s edition with amaze- ment and pity. How an “officer of the corps signal” can state in public print that a majority of the observers are opposed to a transfer, when it goes without saying that the enlisted men of the ‘signal corps are working as a unit to induce Con- gress to make them civilians, is beyond my ken. Military discipline is not necessary with the class to which the members of the signal cot belong, being as they are areely, selected from the young men of our land who have graduated with honor from our colleges and high schools, The men feel that if they were placed inthe agricultural department they would be under the wing of the civil service, and thelr positions would be far more secure than at present, and that they would be treated as gentlemen and not ordered around as soldiers, ‘Their pay would be at least as great as now, and probably in a few years much |; Tr, a8 under a civil organization the bu- reau could be more efficiently administered on one-half of what it costs under the War depart- ment, thus leaving a balance to increase the pay of those who earned more than they were recetv- ing.

Gossip About the Prospects of Different Clubs. The composition of the national league for 1887 is the principal question occupying the attention Of the base ball world at present. The general opinion 1s that the St. Loufs Maroons will give Way to Indianapolis, and that Kansas City will be frozen out, and that the new Indianapolis club ‘Will be formed from the men of the other two or- ganizations. The New York Sun of yesterday says: “At last some light 1s thrown on the nine-club problem of the league. The St. Louts club must go. The manner in which the league 1s to get rid of the club has caused no surprise, as 1t has been looked for from the start. The whole matter can be summed up in a few words: Chicago and New York Want Denny and Glasscock, and they will get them even if they have to sacrifice a whole club. President Stromberg’s idea was that, if other clubs can sell their players, Why could he not do the same? He had hoped to regain some of his lost money by the sale of his players, Dut so great, is the demand for at least two of them that the larger clubs of the league see themselves in a fair Way of being outbid if the players are sold, so ae don’t mean to let them be disposed of in this way. ee Whos ae an Gu force in Batted aay the clul isband. layers: 2 become the property of the committee which the league appointed to look after them. This committee consists of John B. Day of the ‘New York club, A. G. S| alding of Chicago, and League President’ Nick Young, This committee has full power to distribute the players as it seems fit. There is notl therefore, to prevent Day and Spalding from taking Denny and Glass- cock for their share, and turing the other players over to such clubs a8 may want them. President Young will not object to anything that Day and Spalding may see fit to do, Were it not, for Denny and @) the st. Louis club would doubtless remain in the league. Without these men the St. Louisclub can do nothing, and as it must let them go, the club will be forced to disband. The little scheme of the league is to have Stromberg sell his men and sign 4 release. Then the committee will step tn and object, and thus break the bargain. ‘This will free the players, and ‘the other league clubs will gobble them up, There ble chance of this scheme working success- On the other hand President Stromberg 1s quoted as saying that the franchise of the St.Louis club has not been sold to Kansas City or any one else, and ‘that it will not be sold. The Maroons, he ‘said, will remain in the league, and wiil play’ ball dur- ing the season of 1887, Offers, he said, had been mide of $7,500 by Soden, of Boston, and $4,000 by Mutrie, or New York, the former for the release of Gl cock and the latter for the release of Denny, ers had also been made tor other players, all of had a tendency to demoralize the club, and. in view of these facts Mr. Stromberg had decided ‘at one time to accept the $11,500 and release the players, but when he had so decided he found that the offers were tied by a string to such an extent that they could not be carried out, Negotiations, he said, for the franchise or the players are now at an end, and not one of the men will be released, ‘The Maroons will go into the fleld thisseason with Glasscock, Denny, and all the rest, and will be in as good condition’as any club ever got together in ‘St. Louts. BASEBALL NOTES. The contracts of Farrell, Shock and O'Day with the Washington club have been promulgated. Hines, Carroll, Shaw and Gilligan are expected to ‘sign this week. President Soden has received the consent of all. ‘the league clubs to his disposing of Burdock to any club that may want btn and will pay the Price, Which is $1,000. Burdock 1s anxious that New ‘York shall take him, Washington ts in hopes of securing Boyle, Whit- ney and Myers when St. Louis goes under. The home management threatens to make a strong fight for Esterbrook, for whom they made an offer before he was transferred to the Mets. President Stearns, of the Detroit club, says that even if New York ‘secures Denny, Chicago will worry Detroit more than any other club. The Washington club wants games arranj for Was yh during the national drill for Denett ofall concerned a Kelly, wi regarded by most everyboay best ball player in the country, will undoubiedly gain play with the Chicagos. ‘So says President ‘oung. ‘The Chicagos will go out to the Hot Spri again this season to be botled out. mie ‘Harry Wright is at work on a schedule which he wiil present to the league committee. Pittsburg will begin the season well equipped to tussle witli the league clubs. It is a strong team. ‘The left-handed pitcher, James Devlin, about whom New York had so much trouble last’ season, has signed with the Philadelphias. ‘There 1s not a player in the league or American association but has taken the best care of hitnself this winter, and fs prepared to play the game of his life next season. It ts so every year. Nichols, the famous Harvard pitcher, has re- fed advantageous offers to play professionally 1 season, but has declined them all. He is now in the Harvard medical school, Director Billings 1s Very sure the Bostons will be in the tirst four clubs at the end of the season. Mr. Billings was of the same opinion about u year ago this time tn regard to thestanding last season, ‘The Chicagos have extended an offer toa young pitcher named Adams, who halls from Louisville, and he is said to have accepted 1t, ‘The Detroit team for 1887 will be made up as follows: Pitchers, Baldwin, Getzen, Conway, Knowlton, Sinith and Twitchell; catchers, Ben: nett, Ganzell and Gillen; first. base, Brouthers; econd base, Dunlap; third base, White; short stop, Rowe; ‘left fleld, Richardson; center fleld, Hanlon; right field, Thompson or Manning; sub~ sticute, Sitmndies aie ae Anson and Morrill are the only two players who have remained with one club continuously since the formation of the league, and they belong to the only clubs that have maintained their mem- bership in that body since 1c was formed.
