22 Mar 1895 Lumieres' first movie	science	Lumieres' first movie In 1895, the first motion picture shown on a screen was presented by Auguste and Louis Lumière. An invited audience at 44 Rue de Rennes in Paris, France, viewed the film La Sortie des ouvriers de l'usine Lumière. The film they shot specially for the occasion shows workers leaving the Lumières' own factory in Lyon, which made all kinds of photographic products. The workers streamed out, most on foot and some on bicycles. Several more such screenings followed before the first public performance, at the Salon Indien of the Grand Café, 14 Boulevard des Capucines in Paris on 28th Dec 1895. The Lumières soon began opening cinemas in London, Brussels, Berlin and New York.
26 Mar 1895 Scottish	science	Scottish (chemistry) Scottish chemist William Ramsay isolates helium on Earth by treating the mineral cleveite. These samples are identified as helium by Norman Lockyer and William Crookes. It is independently isolated from cleveite in the same year by Per Teodor Cleve and Abraham Langlet in Uppsala, Sweden, who determine its atomic weight.
09 Apr 1895 Cistern cleaners	science	Cistern cleaners In 1895, cistern cleaners were patented by black American inventor, R.H. Gray, (No. 537,151). In Aug 1894, he received a patent for a baling press.
09 Apr 1895 Saturn's rings	science	Saturn's rings In 1895, a spectrogram made by American astronomer James Keeler proved that the rings of Saturn were indeed composed of meteoric particles, as predicted by James Maxwell. If the rings were solid, observations would show uniform rotation. However, Keeler's spectrogram of light reflected from Saturn's rings showed a Doppler shift indicating a variation in radial velocity. Thus, particles in the inner part of a ring, closer to Saturn, move at a different rotational speed from those in more distance parts of a ring, as predicted by Kepler's 3rd law. Keeler published A Spectroscopic Proof of the Meteoric Constitution of Saturn's Rings in the May 1895 issue of Astrophysical Journal, vol. 1, p.416, the journal he co-founded with George E. Hale.

10 Aug 1895 Ernst Felix Hoppe-Seyler	science	death Ernst Felix Hoppe-Seyler Died 10 Aug 1895 at age 69 (born 26 Dec 1825). Ernst Felix (Immanuel) Hoppe-Seyler was a German physician, who was a pioneer of physiological chemistry (biochemistry). He studied the chemical of blood and urine using the new technique of absorption spectroscopy, prepared hemoglobin in crystalline form and clarified its role in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the oxidation reactions between haemoglobin, oxygen and carbon monoxide took place in the tissues rather than in the blood itself. He also studied chlorophyll and was the first to prepare lecithin in a pure form. He coined the word proteid, now replaced with the word protein. He also investigated bile acids, lipid metabolism, quantification and classification of proteins and inspired research on nucleic acids.
10 Aug 1895 Felix Hoppe-Seyler	science	death Felix Hoppe-Seyler Felix Hoppe-Seyler (born 1825), German physiologist.
26 Aug 1895 Friedrich Miescher	science	death Friedrich Miescher Friedrich Miescher (born 1844), Swiss biologist.
14 Sep 1895 Charles Valentine Riley	science	death Charles Valentine Riley Died 14 Sep 1895 at age 51 (born 18 Sep 1843). British-born American entomologist who pioneered the scientific study of insects for their economic impact in agriculture. He was a keen observer of relationships in nature, and enhanced his written observations with drawings. He initiated biological control. After studying the parasites and predators of the cottony cushion scale, which was destroying the citrus industry in California, he introduced (1888) a natural enemy of the scale from Australia. The effectiveness of the Vedalia cardinalis beetle in reducing the populations of the cottony cushion scale promoted the study of biological control of pests. He helped establish the Division of Entomology of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
24 Sep 1895 Hermann Hellriegel	science	death Hermann Hellriegel Hermann Hellriegel (born 1831), German agricultural chemist who discovered the mechanism by which leguminous plants assimilate the free nitrogen of the atmosphere.

19 Nov 1895 Paper pencil	science	Paper pencil In 1895, the first U.S. patent for a paper pencil was issued to Fredrick E. Blaisdell of Philadelphia, Pa. His patent No. 549,952 was accompanied by No. 550,212 on the same date on a machine for manufacturing pencils.
02 Dec 1895 W. Conway Pierce	science	birth W. Conway Pierce W. Conway Pierce (died 1974), American chemist.
