A movie, showing how a chicken comes to life and develops in the egg, is thrown on a screen by Dr. Charles F. Herm. It reveals the changes that take place from the beginning of incubation until the chicken’s heart starts beating. This supper-scientific movie was made by carefully removing a small piece of the eggshell and covering the opening with a glass window. Then a movie camera, operated by a time clock, every 10 minuts flash ed a light through the window and snapped a picture. After 33 hours, the chick’s heart was beating—and the camera had taken about 200 seperate pictures, 10 minutes apart. Then the slowly taken film is flashed on the screen and shows the whole process in a matter of seconds. It’s r. reverse of tbe ultra rapid-camera movie you’ve seen, showing a slow-down of a golf stroke or a pole vaulter in action. The egg movie is in a class with sm ilar films of a bud turning into a flower. Dr. Henn also exhbits movies of oysters developing from the life cell, and so on. Changes that can not be observed by the human eye even with a miscroscope, due to the element of time, are in this way presented so they can be studied by scientists. The ultra-rapid and ultra-slow movie cameras eliminate the ele ment of time. They apparently bring man epnsiderabiy near an un derstanding of the twin mysteries •—life and death. Such ultimately may be the great est function of the mqvie. No telling what the scientific movie will lead to. Dr. Herm will make movies showing cancer cells attacking and destroying healthy cells. When doctors understand how thse cells works, they’ll be rearer a cure. So, too, with disease germs. The movie a toy in the future may be even more useful than on tC’ttlli.g. THE QUILL PEN: THE FOUNTAIN PEN; WHAT NEXT? The quill pen has fought its last bfttle against the steel and foun tain pen—and lost. Philip Cooper of London, whose company used to ship as many as three million quill pens at a time to t'he Indian gov ernment, announces that they’ve cjbit making quills. The Southwark Ccunty Court in England has been the last strong hold of quill pens. The court clung to them as a matter of sentiment, a link with the olden days. But even this court recently discontin ued "quills .and adopted fountain pens. So dies a quaint and acient in dustry, mighty in its day. Such quill pens as will be made in the future will be the decora tive kind that are parked in a jar of birdshot on milady’s writing desk. Philip Cooper gives “no market” as the chief reason for going out of business. Another reason is that he no longer can find a work man who knows art of making them. The craftsman involvd in mak ing quills was intricate and re quired a skill found in few trades. The art ‘.vas handed down from father to -on. As wth beating out gold leaf, it was said that a quill pen make? was born, not made. ‘ The quill pen served many gen erations to whom it was the lead ing instrument of making records and writing letters. Its passing is symbolic of the fate of all man imade devices. The new and im proved inevitably becomes the an tiquated nad obsolete. The fountain pen is “handier,” but experts clai mthat the best grade of qqqill pen—made Trim a wild goose of Hudson Bay—is the finest instrument for writing in the world. These top-notch quqills sold in hundred-lots for about 13 cents apiece—in the old days when 1,3 cents was corjjferable money. BACK TO CIVILIZATION AFTER 10 YEARS The manager of the Hudson Bay > Company’s farthest north traidng post is Captain George G. Cleve , land. He’s back to civilization for the first time in 10 years. Cap says he’s going to return to the country of eternal ice as fast as he can, now that he's leoked us over. He'll have to wait until next spring,’ for the Arctic already is frozen solid. ■'lt's all right to come back to civilization for a while,” Cap ad mits “But after you’ve seeii all the sights, you soon get tired of it.’ A chronic city dweller probably would say the same about the Far North, after visiting it. The aiplane interests Captain Cleveland more than any of the other things developed since he visited civilization in 1913. He saw a couple of the crude original planes years ago, 'but his first glimpse of a modern flying craft was when two big planes, bound for the Mackenzie River oid fields were sored to land. "I knew what they were, from having seen pictures of them,” lie said. “But the Eskimos thought they were big birds and were terri bly frightened when the planes ap proached. They hid under their blankets.” * Another change noticed by Cap tain Cleveland is the enormous in crease in the number of autos in use. When he went north 1913, he recalls, “there were only a few buzz-wagons around, but now the streets arc full of them.” He missed the war period. Would yo'u like to trade places with him and live close to the Northern Lights OPINIONS OF OTHER EDITORS The Brunswick News: The peo- peopie of Georgia must hurry if they are to conserve, preserve, the iorests of this state. Will ful waste makes woeful want, and that axiom can not be dodg ed tor a minute. This is a mo mentous question and one that should be given the most seri ous thought when one contem ■ plates the destruction of the iorests. It is a subject that de serves serious consideration. The Sandersville Progress: Many cf the of Georgia are financing new departures in farming' interests, and are thus recognizing the fact that the farmers prosperity means pros perous times for all other busi ness underdertakings. Without properity ior the farmers all other enterpises must suffer. Mutual help is what is needed in orde to get the best result either in farming or other pusuits. The Brunswick News: Today the banks of Georgia are seeking eagerly and earnestly closer and more intimate acquaintance with the Georgia farmers, and, by the same token, the Georgia farmer have learned: that the average Georgia bankers is not an aus tere selfish, side-whiskered Some body of depressing dignity and coldness of heart. Quite the con trary, indeed. Banks are enter ing more and more cordially and humanly into the every-day af fairs of the people. Ine Rome News-Tribune: “If Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania seeks the Presidential nomina tion, as it now appears that he will, prohibition will be an issue before the Republican National Convention. He has made that very clear and President Cool idge in his address before the conference of churhmen and cit izens in Washington is expected to disclose his attitude. If he counteracts the Pinchot address by delivering one that is equally as vigorous in support of prohi bition, the Pennsylvania Gover nor’s stock will be reduced; but if the President discloses cool coolness, he will be marked as an opponent by the prohibition forces and Pinchot will go to the convention whit’ll the temendous dry strength behind him. Ih e Albany Herald: Some of the papers of the State seem to take the view that the finding of the legislative committee investi gating the Georgia Department of Agriculture was a case cf “Brown whitewash." But the fact should not be overlooked that a good many of those who had been clamoring for a chance to show just how- bad conditions in the Department of Agriculture really were, failed ignominious ly to improve their opportunity when it finally came. It was shown vjery clearly that Commis sioner J. J. Brown manager to keep all ten cf his fingers in the Georgia political pie, but it did not require a legislative inquiry to establish that fact. Everybody, knew already that as a ppractiical politicians -Commissioner Brown stood pretty close to the top of the ladder in Georgia. And >t may be remarked in passing that he seems still to the be “sitting i i 1 nqbqsil string THE AMERICUS ' TIMES RECORDER t Copyright, 1923, Fiflilv Pnpm By N. E. A.
