The view of Marshall P. Wilder, is on a film 160 feet in length. The separate and distinct pictures of the humorist are each two inches in length, and separated by a blank space of one thirty-second of an inch. Each view is exposed on presentation only one three-hundredth part of a second. Were there no blank spaces between the separate views the pictures would run together and present a blurred appearance. The blank spaces afford a rest for the human eye; not long enough to make each view a separate one, but just long enough to give the eye a distinct impression, and at the same time carry, the effect of motion in the object viewed.
