Writer Sees Vast Possibiitics fori Moving Pictuns.
Visualized Geogrrphy rnd History Among Subjects Which Would Claim the Er^er Attention cf Pupils of All G>3c!cs. Visualized gengi'a;'by, it Is In lieved, will beat the maps a g ..d ibuL further than a live Idl'd I ' s a stuflftd one. Likewise, visualized l.i' tory, it is rxpeeted, will bent the narratives of the books, which we sometimes say, when they are written by a graphic writer, make the dead p: st live .again, but it is visualized history that will imleid resurrect the past, so far as a moving picture can make n scone that is past and gone real again. For these terms, visualized geography and 'isuallzed history, are used with reference to tlio possibilities a" ! the development of the moving phTitre. The president of one of the big moving picture companies has been talking very eloquently about the n-e of the film in the schools and surely he brings before our imagination st thousand school rooms full, not of languid but of eager pupils. Educators are thinking s.bi ut the ssime tiling, ami we tuny be thankful that they are, for more of fact. Information and Instruction in tin tilin service to tills ii'.e. 1 sind less of hysteria, emotionnlism, el.i ;'p farce and thrill is si desideratum, asserts Omaha World-Herald. The els'-ses In geography will see the mountains, the plains, the rivers, animated hy such life as Is peeuliar to them. They "ill see the nsitural products of vi rions countries being cultivated or gsitbei'ed. Before them will appear companies of the Inlmhlts.iit- of each. In fi'etst of the eyes will troop tlse wild animals of which they see only the flat prints in the hooks. They will sec exports moving out Sind Imports moving In. the work at the wharves, the carrying to the senhourd, the bull n ships plowing the oc ean. It will Ice like taking them traveling over the earth to-learn what It looks like, and they will get the vivid Imnics-ic n that is made on the eye, and their memory will be associated as hy a personal recollection. As for history, millions have been silde to see on the sc reen the momentous history that hs.’ been In the making during the b.-t few years- the camps and cantonments, the inarching columns, the moving ocean transports, tin* busy shipyards, the construction and factory work of the "sir, the batteries in notion, the destroyed c ities, the flight of refugees, the commanding figures whether on the field or in the government cabinet—nil the scenes of war, of war-swept countries, glimpses of wretchedness and the ministrations of comfort and mercy. Hereafter a film record of the more notable historical events will he kept for what will tie both the entertainment and the instruction of after generations. It is going to he a big work to get the moving picture Installed ns a common equipment for educational work ill the schools. Schools will have to have the films si ml the machines, and they will require men. teachers or not, to operate them. This signifies that a great development of moving picture facility will have to he made In all the appliances and technique connected with the exhibition of the pictures. The moving pic ture will overflow from the theater Into the schools, for It would he Impossible for the !heaters alone to do the work. It will also be neeessarj to Improve the production Of tin pictures on the screen so that there will he no problem of vision and no over straining of the eyes of c hildren—a difficulty not yet overcome | save when equipment nud operation are the very best.
Bald Eagles Photographed. A. S. Doekhatn. photographer of the Lafayette National park, hiss succeeded In making a photograph of two young bald eagles In their nest near Eagle lake. Maine, In the top of a high maple, 50 feet fn in the ground. Mr. Dockhnm erected a platform on which is ladder wsis raised. The ladder top wsis do feet above tin* ground and commanded si fine view of the nest. He clamped his camera on the ladder and led a string from the shutter to the crotch of the tree about 20 feet lower. Here he remained anil watched the nest. In order to obtain the photographs he wa« forced to remain in the tree for five hours.
Milwaukee’s ‘'Medicinal” Water. The city of Milwaukee has been greatly bothered with a peculiar taste In its drinking water. The water is i htnlned from the lake ami Is chlorinated before distribution. At first It wsis thought that the chlorine produced the taste, hut a series of tests proved that this was not the source of contamination. There sec^is to lie some connection between the Intensity of the taste and the direction of the w ind, and finally the source of trouble was located In a couple of plants, one three miles away and Hie other eight miles away, which were producing coal tar products.

Strict Rule for Employees in Factorie* Where Work Is Done on Gold. f'lotlus of a light color arc not favorites where work is done on gold. In fact, in many such factories a dark suit of clothes is absolutely demanded, and even a light waistcoat may lose a man a Job. The reason for lids Is that any stray grains of gold that may get on the clothing can easily he caught on a dark suit, while they might get away from the establishment If light clothes were worn. That such a rule was enforced nmong gold workers one man learned recently when a Bohemian gold heater applied to him for a helping hand. The Bohemian said that he had not been in this country long, that ho had had a chance to obtain a good job at Ills trade, but that the place had been refused him because he turned up with a light suit and waistcoat on. and they were the only clothes he had. The man whom he approached was struck hy the story and offered to help him out if it proved true, lie went to a factory with him and found out that the man could have the Job If he presented himself within an hour clad In the profit r clothes. So a suit of desired kind was obtained for him and sure enough he got the job. "You may think this is strange,” said the foreman of the factory, “hut it means quite a lot to us. Every man's clothing is carefully examined when he haves the place at night and tin gold is brushed off whenever we sec any <m his clothing. It Is Impossible to hide even tiny grains on a dark hackground, hut III the case of a mixed or a light suit wo might easily lose quite an ntnouir of gold, and gold isn't anything you want to lose even in small quantities.”
Strnrbcurg to Honor Dc L’lsle. It is a pleasant detail in the coming erection of a memorial at Strasbourg to Hogget de l isle and his "Chant de guerre de l armeo du Bliln,” which he mine "I.u .Marseillaise." that the chairman of the committee in charge benrthe name and Is a direct descendant of Mayor Dietrich. In whose house ll <• song was first sung. T.ittle enough when Do I'lslo eotnposed it dul ho foresee either that his song would provide inspiration for it French revolution or that time would bring him a pern.a nent memorial in a Strasbourg that had passed out of Fi eneh po ■-esslnn and come hack again. The author himself suffered both hy loss of his commission anil hy Imprisonment, first because the adaption of his song hy the Revolution made him suspected of revolutionary beliefs hy what power still remained to the older government, and later because Ids hick of enthusiasm for the revolution made him an ole Ject of an attack by the new b ailers. Porpoite Killed Shark. How a bottle-nosed dolphin, a porpoise commonly called (lie seating, slew a 0-font shark. Is described hy Galveston (Texas) fishermen, who s;.v they witnessed the tilling from the causeway which connects Gnlvi'ton K land with the mainland. The sealing, according to the hooks. Is a “most sociable and gregarious fi-l'." hut these fishermen declared there wi « nothing sociable about this dolphin. When the spark was within a fi < " feet ef the porpoise tin fishermen saw the scaling charge, a gray streak In the water. It struck the shark squarely amidships they dei Inre. ripp'd It open anil then tcre the body Into pieces'. The theory of the fishermen Is that the porpoise fought to protect Its single young one, which the shark was n enuring.

Pleasing Trait of Household Help in Palestine.
Prercnce of Company to Dinner Is Taken as a Compliment—Native Woman’s Amusing Confessicn of Vanity. Palestine Is one place in the world which Inis no "senant problem," according to Miss Evangeline Metheiiy of Beaver Falls, Pa., just returned from Red Cross service in the Holy Lund. “The servants In Palestine," says Miss Metheny, who hits lived there most of her life, "are a different set entirely from the servants we have here in America. They make their M-rvires personal; (loir Interest in their employer’s affairs is personal, whereas the American servant regards It impersonally. “In Palestine, if 1 wi re to tell my house servants that there would he ’en people in for dinner, they would he delighted. It would he a mutter of personal pride with them that their dinm r was the best to he had. and their service, too. They would he happy at the thought of working for a mistress who hud so many friends that she could get together ten at one time. There would he no sulky looks or actions at the extra work ; every servant would co-operate and the dinner would go olT grandly. “Here the mention of an extra guest or two creates a feeling of resentment. I know people who do not dare to invite a dinner guest until they have obtained permission from their cooks. Cooks In Palestine consider extra guests a compliment to their art. The servants in Palestine would ton times rather work for Atnerienns than for the native population. The reason is not alope that we will pay higher wages—we treat them better. For one thing. American women do not swear at them, and native women do. They call down every kind of ettrse on the servant's eyes, and his children, and his grandchildren; they say the most iintranslatiihle things as n matter of rourse. It is not in the least unusual, it is quite ail fait, for an Arab woman to swear so.'' Servants in Pale tine may ' different. hut a woman isa woman the world over. Miss Methenv -ay- ui'h Kipl i g and other authorities. “Once in a railroad train." «he says. "I was sitting In the sane compartment with an old nat'-.o wonu n. In the Fast there are separate carriages for men and women. In ovr coach there was n parllciih •!' p ’ty girl, and from time to fln.i a young English or American man passed through, watching her. My old won.an was kneeling on Ihc si at will, lu r shoes off, praying. In orch r to pray toward Mecca she had to kneel crosswise on the narrow seat, and the rite of humping her head on the floor several times in each prayer was an acrobatic feat tinder such cirenmstnnres. Every time a young man came Into the carriage she had to struggle for balance while she pulled her veil down over her face. Finally slu* spoke to one. “My son,' she said, "do you not know that you have no right in here with the proteeted ones" (women) ? He apologized, and she raised her veil when lie went out. "You know,” she said to me in Arnhle, "If 1 had any teeth left 1 would not pull down my veil. 1 only do it that people will think there is a nice face l,i him! it.”
