! IN
ill
He the Drummer Evolved by
, the Moving Picture Show
Houses
AN EXPERT IN MAKING KGISES
He Play, on Three Inatrurrtenta at
Once Wonder. He Can Perform
with a Leather Pad and Two Slap
stick. How He Tells a War Ctory.
In tho moving picture shows tlio or
chestra is opt to conr.Ut of not nwro
than two persons, a piano plnycr nnd
a drummer, but by tho aid of various
auxiliary contrivances It Is able to
produce a great variety of effects. For
the reason that the piano player has
all the time full occupation for both
hands on the piano keys these auxili
ary contrivances are all operated by
Jhe one other member of tho orches
tra, the drummer.
There are three Instruments that
he can play on at once, n snare drum
with his hands nnd a bass drum and
cymbals with his feet, but it Is with
the other contrivances that ho pro
duces tho realism. He has a string
of sleigh bells hanging handy to Jin
gle when In a moving picture scene a
sleigh crosses the stago, a bar of step
to strike resonantly at the proper mo
ment for the sound of a bell, a whis
tle to blow. He may even supplement
these contrivances by the use of his
own votco on occasion.
He may use the drums for Imitative
purposes. He Imitates the "pucker
pucker" of a motorboat on the snare
drum, and with fidelity he reprodu es
the sound of steam exhausts.
You see In the picture showing on
the stage a railroad train rolling Into
a station. Tassengcrs debark and get
aboard. The train starts and you tee
the first white puff, the first eirtiaimt
shoot up from the engine's stack as
the engineer gives her steam, and not
only do you see It but you hear It
too, and with a sound so true that
for a moment you fancy It is the
real exhaust you hear. Then as the
train gathers headway and Its move
ment quickens the noise of the ex
hause comes quicker and quicker and
nearer together, till they blend final
ly In the steady roar, diminishing and
growing fainter and fainter as tho
train draws away, finally to be lost
In a fading blur.
A wonder, all this, In naturalistic
sound production. If you happen to
It near the drummer your wondor
grows as you see him, with his eyes
on the picture, producing the sound
of those steam exhausts with drum
sticks on a drum. But wait till you
see and hear what he can do with a
leather pad and two slapsticks.
A war story, this next series, show
ing first a wooded country with a
stretch of clearing In front. At the
near edge of the clearing a soldier
comes Into view, facing away from
you across the clearing toward the
woods and keeping moving toward
them. Defore you know It another
soldier appears a little further Bloat?,
and then you see three or four or half
a dozen more of them scattered alon.j;
over the clearing a skirmish line ad
vancing; and then a puff of smoke
from the woods and you hear the
crack of a rifle and you see that first
man that came In keel over. Tha
skirmish line keeps on advancing and
then you see three or four puffs of
smoke come from the woods and you
hear the rifles crack! crack! crack!
crack! and then our fellows we call
'era our fellows because they started
In from In front from our side of the
stage our fellows answer and you
hear a dozen quick, scattering shots.
Than ft nmind of cavalry comes In
on the gallop to back our fellows up,
and they do mix things up In that
clearing In great shape with rifles and
pistols banging away all the time,
crack, crack, crack, and crackle, crac
kle, crackle. It wasn't a battle, there
weren't nearly enough engaged for
that, but It was what the newspapers
refer to when In war time they print
a despatch from such and such a place
which starts off by saying: "There
was a lively skirmish near this place
yesterday between " and so on.
We had seen that skirmish from
start to finish and we'd been near
enough to It so that we could hear
every shot that was fired, and if your
eye had wandered for a moment from
the moving picture on the stage to the
spot where the rifle shots actually
came from you would have seen the
. drummer of the orchestra, with his
eyes fixed on the picture, spatting,
spatting, spatting, spatting, with two
slapstlsks on a pad that looked like a
leather chair cushion. A simple de
vice this, but by its aid what would
otherwise have been only a picture, a
dumb show, had been wrought up into
a scene that was thrilling.
Few Dentists In Greece.
In Greece, outside of Athens, the
barber performs the functions of the
dentist to the extent of pulling teeth.
Athens is the only place where dental
work of any other kind Is done.
Climate Makes the Difference.
Havana has 400 different kinds of
food fish, while England all around
has only 60 sorts of food flan.

WASHINGTON
From cmr Kcnlnr Oirrepon leiil.
Washington, D. C, I;c! to, 1910
Tlurc are now in WasliiiiRton
the rci resentalivcs of the American
Automobile Association, two hun
dred in number nnd ye.Merday their
first session was held and addressed
by senators and other distinguish
ed men. The speakers trom every
part of the country criticized the
state legislatures for making ob
structive automobile law.", and were
all in favor of registration of auto
mobiles by the federal government.
It was cuiious to note, however,
that every speaker snoke in eulogy
of the automobile laws of his par
ticular statej nnd recommended
them as ixamples of good legisla
tion, contrasting them with the au
tomobile laws.'of other statis, which
according to the speaker, were not
good examples of automobile legis
lation. Senators and representa
tives were present and argued the
case of the automobile interest
against restrictive states traffic li
cense and registration laws. There
was no dissenting voice with refer
ence to ihe reed of uniformity in
the matter of state registration.
Senator Depcw said: "The Ameri
can people, the most progressive
in the world, should not permit the
older nations which ore regarded
as too slow for us, to get ahead of
us. The Touring Club of France
has offered a recognition for its
certificate lor all the other nations
of the continent, under which the
tourist makes his deposit and then,
armed with his certificate, he goes
across Germany, Italy, Austria,
and away down to Constantinople
with the least possible delay and
no trouble. I trust this question,
brought to the attention of Con
gress by this representative body,
will lead to enlighten legislation
before t'n's Congress adjourns".
Senator Bob Taylor, or "Our Bob",
as he is called in Tennessee, added
a comedy feature to the occasion,
when he said: "I am not an enemy
of the automobile. I do not con
sider it a curse, but a blessing.
In fact, I am glad to live in this
age, when
Ships are on the water, ships are
in the air,
And autos are a-scooting here
and everywhere.
The wonderful development of
the automobile in recent years leads
me to believe that before long we
will have the kissophone, which
will enable a young man in Wash
ington to kiss his s-veetheart 1,000
miles away. Then next will come
the electro scoot, into which the
New York man may step and be
in San Francisco two hours before
he staited".
W. W. Cocks, member of Con
gress from New York, who has
now a bill before Congress for fed
eral registration, said: "I differ
from most of those here in that my
viewpoint is that of the farmer. I
have the advantage or disadvantage
to live on the Vanderbilt Cup
course, and know how it feels to
le the man in the road; but as the
author of the automobile bill now
pending in Congress I am keenly
interested in the work that you
are doing".
President Taft's definition as to
what constitutes whiskey has, it
appears, not settled the case. The
President's dictum held that all
potable spirits distilled from grain
are whiskey ana ennueu io uc la
beled as such without such qualify-
inrr wnrflM 39 "ConiDOUlld Or
". .. ...
'Imitation". ltwuiDe reiuemuci-
ed that in this decision rresiaem
Taft completely reversed that of
President Roosevelt. New regula
tions have been formulated respec
ting the branding of whiskey Dy a
board composed of the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of
Agriculture and the secretary or
Commerce and Labor. These regu
lations were ma-le public this week
nnd thev mean victory for the rec
tifiers and adulterators of what was
supposed under the Kooseveu au-
ministration to uc mc
whiskey. But while this decision

.ff Thev have aireauy givcu
notice that they will take the case
to the courts and have engaged
ex-Senator Spooner and ex-Speaker
of the House of Representatives
John G. Carlisle as counsel. Those
acquainted with these distinguish
ed men will realize that the
straight whiskey manufacturers
will be ably represented.

Signature of
senators in both parties, it is believ
ed now tint the postal bank act
will we passed This ac?, it will
be remembered, h championed by
Senator Outer of Montana. He
was called to the White House
yesterday to discuss with the Presi
dent the prospect for the passage
of the postal savings bank bill.
The Senator explained the increas
ed opposition in the Senate to this
bill and expressed the opinion that
it would be Impossible to pass the
amendment proposed by Senator
Root with the purpose of making
the bill constitutional. This amend
ment requires the investment of
the postal savings bank deposits in
government securities. Senator
Root holds that without the amen i
ment the government would be en
gaged in banking business contrary
to the constitution. Senator Cart
er, however, is of the opinion that
all the Democrats, as well as all
the insurgent Republicans, will
vote against the Root amendment
and that their vote would be suffi
cient to defeat the bill. Senator
Carter was of the opinion that the
Root amendment eliminated, the
bill might be passed.
The First Census.
The first census, taken in 1700,
was a simple enumeration of the
population of the United States. It
rilled in large type fifty-six pages
of a thin pamphlet with tabks
which two or three pages of the
World Almanac would easily hold.
Each copy of the Philadelphia issttj
was signed by Thomas JeiTerson,
secretary of state. Some surpris
ing changes have since occurred.
North Carolina was then more
populous than Massachusetts, and
Massachusetts mote populous than
New York, while Virginia led the
list with sixty per cent, more peo
ple than Pennsylvania. Brooklyn
had fewer people than Newton or
North "Heinp.stead." The only
mandate for a census in the Con
stitution is a provision for an "act
ual enumeration," to be made in
such manner as Congress shall di
rect, to serve as a basis for appor
t.ouing "Representatives and direct
taxes." If the census soon to be
taken, the thirteenth, were to be
like the first, a mere enumeration
of the people, the work could be
finished in a few months and print
ed in a single small volume. In
stead we shall presumably have
some 20,000 or more large pages
containing not only an enumera
tion, but such an encyclopaedic
collection of facts concerning the
country as no other nation equals,
nor could one of these pages well
be spared. For while the registry
of births, deaths and marriages,
the enumeration of paupers and
other statistical work is not yet
done by all our states with such
accuracy as in the chief European
