SHOW HOW PLANTS GROW.
Scientist Getting Moving Pictures of Development of a Bud.
Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—Dr. Henry Leffman, of this city, has become interested in moving pictures and is experimenting in his laboratory to get a series of views of a growing plant covering a period of seven days, which, when thrown on the screen by the moving picture machine, will show the development of the plant from a bud until it is full grown. By reversing his string of pictures a fantastic picture of a full-grown plant shriveling into a small bud is made.
In his experiments Dr. Leffman is trying to produce a picture of those workings of nature too slow for the human eye to perceive. Further, he is trying to get individual pictures of the workings of nature too rapid for the human eye. With his moving picture camera Dr. Leffman is able to get the development of an explosion, from the first puff of smoke until the gases causing the trouble explode.
