16 February 1878 - THE SILVER DOLLAR IS DEEMED US LEGAL TENDER: Amid
roiling economic controversy and a financial panic, the United States
Congress passes the Bland-Allison Act, requiring the minting of silver
coins to be put into circulation as dollar coins. Gold coins will be
preferred among Americans, however, giving rise to the gold standard
economy.

The Bland-Allison Act, also referred to as the Grand Bland Plan of 1878,
was an act of United States Congress requiring the U.S. Treasury to buy
a certain amount of silver and put it into circulation as silver
dollars. Though the bill was vetoed by President Rutherford B. Hayes,
the Congress overrode Hayes's veto on February 28, 1878 to enact the law.

15 June 1878 - MUYBRIDGE STOPS TIME WITH HIS CAMERA: Leland Stanford is
fairly certain that when a horse gallops there is a moment when all four
of its legs leave the ground. He hires photographer Eadweard Muybridge
who takes pioneering stop-motion photographs, proving that horses can
indeed become airborne for a split second, and the innovative images
will mark the dawn of motion pictures.

The series became the first example of chronophotography, an early
method to photographically record the passing of time, mainly used to
document the different phases of locomotion for scientific study. It
formed an important step in the development of motion pictures.

Muybridge's work was commissioned by Leland Stanford, the industrialist,
former Governor of California, and horseman, who was interested in horse
gait analysis.
