Once when we saw Dustin Farnum in @ moving picture I said to my mother I envied him very much. She jasked me why, and I told her It was because I had always wanted to see myself act ever since as a baby four years old I played in “Cameo Kirby” with Mr. Goodwin. You know I am sixteen years old, and since becoming @ motion picture actress I have felt quite grown up. I was delighted when mother came home one day after theatre—mother is Mrs, Charlotte Shelby, as you know, | of course—and told me that a con- tract had been made for me to ap- pear in “The Fairy and the Wait." Now, I am not sure whether mother was right when she joked me about being vain. All I know ts that I was Just crazy to see how I looked on the stage to other people. I wanted to know why it was that people ap- plauded me sometimes when I did not know why they applauded, and when they did not seam so pleased as I thought they ought to do over some of my Uttle speeches. “There,” I said to mother, when she told me of the film contract— “now, dearest, I shall be able to see myself act.” I do not know where you get your vain disposition,” was her reply, but then she laughed and said business business and she had always loved art for art's sake, provided the artist need not go hungry. So the next week I was in my first screen rehearsal, and, dear me, how I did enjoy it. Some time later I saw myself act for the firet time, Honestly, I nearly was and commodities generally will be given quick delivery by this means.

Super- imtendent of Mails E. M. Norris considers this entirely feasible, pro- vided the high buildings of the metropolis would permit the pianes to fly sufficiently low to alight on the roof. The disc as described by the Ele trical Experimenter, resembles @ merry-go-round, by means of whieh aeroplanes would be spun around in starting until their propellers attained the necessary speed, and then be suddenly released. They would be throw off the dise tangentially by centrifugal force with a quick-act- ing release clytch, or by the utiliza- tion of powerful electro-magnets ar- ranged around an electric motor- driven disc. ‘This apparatus, says the Electrical Experimenter, is also supposed to prove efficacious in decelerating or gradually stopping aeroplanes as they alight from the air. In this case there are two schemes which might be employed, the first working on the principle that the ro- tating disc be driven in an opposite direction to that of the aeroplane, which will in this case tend to quick- ly decelerate and come to a stop. The second arrangement would be to use large electro-magnets. In this case the revolving disc could be driven fm the same direction as that followed by the alighting plane, and by apply- ing the current to the magnets gradu- ally, and thus increasing thetr strength, the speed of the alighting plane and its attached {ron armature would be reduced by co-action with the electro-magnets in such a way ‘as to simluate mechanical friction of gradually increasing magnitude. A storage platform for extra or dts~ abled planes eould be arranged at one side of the accelerating machine and be supplied with electro-magnets for holding the planes securely, The device may be soon tried out.

After all, that first picture inters ested me so that I hardly spoke, My sister was with me and she satd I just stared open-mouthed, Of co@rse that was because she is older than I am and sort of mothers me.
