NEW LIGHT THROWN . ON DEATH OF COOK Journal of Officer With Explorer Gomes to Light —_— Sydney, N, 8, W,, Nov, 8—An im. portant manuscript, the original jour. nal kept by Lient, James Burney, aboard his British majesty's ship Dis. covery, Which was a companion ship to the Resolution, commanded - by Capt. James Cook on his last voyage which ended ongthe island of Hawail, where he met is death, has been bought by the Mitchell library of Bydney, the reposition of many valu- able papers on Australlan history. The journal, which never has been published, throws new light upon the circumstances surrounding the death of Capt, Cook. It sald that the explorer had gone ashore to Invite the king of the island and his sons to discuss the theft of a cutter be- longing to the Discovery. He was returning to his boat with King Ker- rioboo when he was killed, according to the journal. “Capt. Cook was about to give or- ders for embarking when he was provoked by the insolence of a man armed with a stick mat and a long spike,” the journal reads. “'Capt. Cook fired at this man with small ghot, which neither penetrated the mat nor frightened the Indlan, as A Real Remedy For Falling Hair Here's good news for all men and women whose hair is falling out, who are growing bald and have scalps cov- ered with dandruft that itch like mad.

The sergeant sald he had shot the wrong man, whereupon he told the sergeant to shoot the right one. The Indlans gave a volley of stonesr or- | and began to close. Capt. Cook dered the marines to fire. The In- dians gave back, but advanced before the marines had time to load. The marines were obliged to take to the water. Capt. Cook was struck by an Indian, and he turned and beat assaflant back with his musket. He received at the same moment a blow on the head and a stab with a spike in the neck which tumbled him into the water. Unable to swim and stunned by the’ blow, he¢ turned . to-! ward the shore and a number of the Indians surrounded him and dragged him on the rocks where they beat and stabbed h in several places, cnatching the daggers from each other out of eagerness to have their share in killing him.” LONG WAITING LIS Boys Entered as Sopn as, They Are Born So As to Be Sure to Get Them, Admitted at Proper Age.

Despite the fact that success has crowned® the efforts of German inventors at ‘producing the “speaking” film, it is foreseen that reels of this kind can never supplant the ordinary "movies" in the export trade. The handicap Is obvious, since a film produced in German could hardly be expected to find a,market abroad where the language would be sufficlently understood to make its showing profitable, Promoters of the invention see a however, ofs some day making this type of film eliminate the necessity of having orchestras in movie theaters. To special showings have been given in Berlin recently in which in- ventors revealed their achievements in making sound synchronize perfect- ly with the movemeénts plctured on the screen. RBesides a demonstration during the middle of August at which a number of newspapermen were gshown the “phonofilm' of Lee de Forest, of New York, there was re. cently exhibited hefore several hun- dred Invited guests the “Tri-Ergon," an acoustic film invented by Hans Jo Engle, and Joseph Mas- sole. Five Devices.” Five devices form the buckbone of the “Trl»Ergon," They are the kathodophon, or ‘electrical ear;” a speclal ampjifying conduit; an ultra- frequency lamp; the photozelle, or “electrical eye,'" and the statophon, or “electorical mouth." Seven transformations are accom- plished in order to effect synchroni- zation of sound and movement in the film. The sound waves to be repro- duced are first transformed into elec- tricity; the electricity 1is converted into light; the light is changed in two separate stages into the silver blackéhing of the negative and posi- tive films; these in turn are retrans- formed into light; the light again be- comes electricity, and finally the elec- tricity produces the vibrations con- veying sound. “Electrical” Ear, The "electrical ear” naturally is the first apparatus to come into play. Its outstanding feature is an ordinary metal funnel in which the sound waves are converged to pass through a nozzle. Opposite this nozzle is a glowing rod through which a stream of electricity courses. As the rod be- comes heated it influences the sur- rounding air so that this is “fonized”, making it capable of conducting a current. Secondary electrical glim- mers thus appear bridging the ;space between the nozzle and the rod. These flashes represent the electri- cized sound waves. These waves are magnified by the special amplifier and are fed to a Booth’s Block Hosiery and Gloves Van Raalte Plain Glove Silk Stockings Heather Sport Hose in a number of colors .

Its light grows stronger or fainter with the volume of the sound, Tts rays produce small stripes along the side of the film. These stripes represent the sounds and run through the film in exact coincidence with the movements in the pleture. The interval between them varies according to the wave in- terval, The line of stripes runs 50 eentimeters removed from the plctnrel itself. Intense Light Stream, In the reproduction of the sounds an intense light stream passes through the stripes to the “electrical | eyl The “eye"” {s a bulb through which an electrical stream passes. 1ts Interior surface is partially coated with a chemical substance possessing the property of separating electrons, As this process develops, the conduét- ing power of the photozelle {increases, The electrical stream passing through it Increases or diminishes with the volume of the sound waves, These phenomena are again amplj- fled and recorded by the, “electrical mouth,” © This instrument comprises mainly a membrane 30 centimeters in dlameter which is vibrated by elec- tricity rather than by magnetism, It is clalmed to be the first actual) workable telephone capable of trans- mitting loud speaking. Thus the sounds issue out into the air from the membrance at the same time the plcture is projected. The “gramophone” element is eliminated entirely, yet to a person in the audi- ence the sounds seem' to be caning from an instrument of that kind set up immediately behind the screen where the picture appears. At the public demonstration the program included sounds as varied as a pig's squeal and the tunes of a bar- rel organ, to arlas from leading operas.!” A short speech of introduc- tion was given by the same means in German, Englisly and French. One number was a recitation, other feat- | ures were vocal and instrumental, and one act of a drama was reproduced. In the last mentioned the tinkling of a hand-bell rung by one of the char- acters was heard colnciding with the movement in the picture, and the footsteps of ‘actors walking about a bare floor were reproduced realistic- ally in sound. In another section of the program there was the very life- ke barking of a dog, and the sounds of the animal's’ claws could be dis- tinctly heard as it moved restlessly on a woodeh bench. Genrerally speaking, the reproduc- tion appeared to function better for staccato sounds, such as the notes of } the xylophon, flute, clarinet and man- dolin. In violin and ‘cello playing, and in singing tones of every high or| low register, there was considerable mechanical scraping such as one hears from a worn record on a talk- ing machine. ] Old man success says, “I would like to read a classified in the Herald from every home.” JOIN NOW OUR CHRISTMAS GRAFONOLA | New New New New New New New New CLUB OPENS SATURDAY MEMBERSHIP DOWN and $1.00 per week—select the Guafonola you want and it is put one side and held for you to be delivered for Christmas.
