Such scenes can only -be witnessed by extensive travel. The instructive side of animated pictures has not until recently been appreciated, and has consequently been neglected. In presenting scenes of Samoa, New Zealand, Fiji Islands and South America with their native and wild animal inhabitants the public Is able to view and study the primitive dwellers of the Southern Hemisphere. The beautiful Alps of Switzerland with their lofty snow capped , peaks offers one of the most pleasing panoramas ever seen.
