the exchanges from whom the exhibitors get the films, so that when the film Is produced before the public nothing Is offered but clean, moral pictures. The temperance pictures are sermons driven yividly home because they are shown to people who need the lessons, and who have neither the time nor the inclination to go to temperance halls.
 A Vast Field.
 Natural history has received a great impetus from the moving picture shows The photographing of wild birds and beasts In their native haunts is one of the things which moving pictures have given to the world. Many of the pie lures of this character have been obtained at the risk of personal safety, but in every case where success has been met with the result has been the furtherment of the public's share of knowledge. The public favor is by no means all for the comic or the story telling film, but scenes from real life and episodes of vitality and historical importance receive quite as much patronage.
 The Peoples Institute of New Yorl, has made the suggestion that moving pictures be introduced in the public schools in order to emphasize by object lessons the various studies, such as plant life the habits of birds and animals, and geographical and historical subjects. It seems a feasible idea. The boy or girl who sees the Alps as taken by the nov ing picture machine from the rear of an observation train will be apt to get a clearer conception of those noble moun- tains than by looking at map with a few dark lines indicating their locality. The picture will leave an indeible impress sion on the mind. The same will apply to history of which pageants and episodes might be reproduced to excellent advan- tage.
 As stated at the outset of this article, the moving picture business has como to stay.

 The boss bit the end off the cigar, reached in his pocket and drew out a match and lighted the weed He puffed critically a minute.
