"The Gorges of Tarn" provided a»' interesting study of the (flights bt ptmling and shooting the rapids. The oM world glories; of the Orient were shown in "Aden and Its Came! Markets.'" . "Naval manoeuvres/* was a prttty scene. In the comic department "Living Reflections" was a'clever "fake" study, and "A Stolen Watch," and-"A Strong Woman" were extremly diverting. • The dramatic studies are perhaps the most popular items and in this cont nection "For a Wife's Honor," "The Heart of a Gipsy" and "The Postman's .Daughter" were amongst several notably fine pourtrayala of the vagaries of human -nature.
