Concave Cinema Screen.
Eliminating false perspective and
making every portion of the picture
equally distant from the projecting
light, a Chicago inventor has patent-
ed and placed on the market a con-
cave screen for which much is claim
ed. The screen is a segment of a
sphere, the lens of the projecting ap-
paratus being at the focal point of
the screen, and as a result all the
rays of light Btrike the surface at
the same angle, and are reflected to
the visitors without distortion. An-
other vlrture claimed for the concave
screen, says Popular .Mechanics. Is
that It improves the acoustic proper
ties of the hall, or theater, in which
It Is used As sound waves are pn>
Jected and reflected In the same man

music of the orchestra and songs to

killed, but not before Maurer had been
fatally injured.
Crockett Williams and another ne-
gro known as "Goldie," are being held

the murder and identifies the negroes
in jail.
The dead body of an unidentified old
