were given of an ingenious combination
OF the photograph with the cinemato-
graph, whereby the figures on the
screen were caused to go through all
the motions OF singing, while the
sounds issued concordantly from the

usually eaten fresh. though II may be
preserved by sailing or smoking, first
being cooked.

never be pulled; IL Injuries them. Ii is
better to send a boy up and let him
shake the tree" and of his putting
forth the information that the guano IS
a fine bird, but great care is necessary
in rearing It."
