X-Ray Movies.
The newest ivention in photog
raphy is the X-Ray moving picture. It
has been possible, of course, to look
through one's body- and make pictures
of lIvIng organs, but now every move
ment of every part of the blody tmay
lie reproduced on (lie screen. The
slIghtest movement of tihe heart, the
muscles, joInts, itestines and lungs
can be watched for hours at e tIme.
Such pictures are etxpOeted to be of
the greatest importance to moedicine
and1 surgery and make possible many
new cures. These pictures have been
made tro far of anilmals on13'ly bt hu
man beings will soon ho filmed In the
