And when soothed by the har-
mony, they see the scenes of the
earth and its busy places pass in
perfect review. And countless
scientific views are displayed.
And the series is changed every
day.

known in this theater beautiful.
The lighting of the room is per-
fection itself. The air is filed
with a mystic glow-delicate, re-
fined and nerve quieting No
point of light Is visible; the cleo
trio lights are in apertures or
domes in the ceiling, and diffused
light only is visible. Strange to
relate. this effect adds to the
exquisite beauty of the pictures

blooming of two weeks of opening

the growing of butterflies are of
exceeding beauty and scientific
interest.
Now let every minister, teacher,

priceless treasures, and then
really teach the hungering mil
lions of people. longing for new
things outside OF deeply worn

IT HE missing continent OF At
lantis, whose extraordi-
nary story as told by the
Greek philosopher, Plato, is at
once a fascinating romance and
the greatest of geographical mys-
teries, has again become the sub
Ject of learned discussion.

all Its splendid cities, as the tradi-
lions gathered by Plato declared.
are any traces Of It now TO be
found on the bottom of the sea?
In the light Of modern science is
1t possible to admit that a catas-
trophe Of such unexampied mag
nitude as the swallowing up of a
whole continent could occur7
These are some of the questions
reawakened by the investigation
of the subject which NJ. L. Ger
main has recently published in the
Annales de Geographic.
The clue to the mystery that NJ.
German follows is that which IL
furnished by the existence of the
island groups of the Canaries, the
Madeiras, Cape de Verde and
the Azores. These islands lie in
deep water near the place where
Plato said Atlantis existed. AL
though they are widely separated,
they possess plants and animals of
the same species, and these spe-
cies are similar to those found in
Southwestern Europe and North
ern Africa, but entirely different
from those of Equatorial Africa.
This fact is regarded as indi-
eating that the islands in question
once formed part of continuous
continent, which was either di-
rectly connected with Southern
GuiopC anu @NOi IilSIn ALiiSd ny q
bridge of land, or lay so close to
them that animals and plants
could easily cross over the inter-
vening strip of sea.
Moreover, there are living in
these islands species of plants and
animals which once existed, but
now exist no longer, in Europe,
where their remains are to be
found in deposits of the Tertiary
Age. The explanation would seem
to be that these plants and ami
mails lived contemporaneously in
Europe and the continent of At
lantis during Tertiary times, but
have since become extinct in Eu-
rope, although they continue to
exist on the islands which are the
only visible remains of Atlantis.
But there is another curious
fact to be considered. The living
species inhabiting these mysteri-
BUS islands not only resemble
those of Southern Europe and
Northern Africa, but also those Of
the West India Islands and Gen.
trail America. This suggests that
the continent of Atlantis ex-
tended completely across the
ocean and was connected with
America on the west.
Atlantis, then, was as closely
associated with the New World as
with the Old and formed a means
