MOTION PICTURES
FOR 70 SCHOOLS
Tribune to Give Pathescopes to
Winners of Contest, Begin.
ming To-day.

Motion pictures, hitherto confined to
the l0-cent theatres, will be within the
reach of the studentS of twenty for
tunate public schools in New York and
vicinity in the near future.
The New York Tribune plans to pre-.
sent q score Of motion picture ma
chimes to that number of public
schools, the winning schools to be Sc
lected by ballot.
The voting begins to-day. On an
ether page will be found the first Of
fetal coupon, which counts as twenty
FIVE votes, and which will nominate
your favorate school and start It in
the contest with a substantial count
right of the bat.
Enter your school in the contest by
mailing the nominating coupon to-day
and then follow it up by as many more
as you can gather. Let the teachers
and pupils form campaign committees
and earn q motion picture machine for
their school.
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the official rules and the vote
schedule, together with a description
Of the motion picture machine selected
the Pathescope.
The Pathescope is the only safe mo-
tion picture machine in the world. 1t
is the only machine which may be used
in the sehoolroom, because all other
machines require an experienced op-
orator, an electric equipment and a
permanent installation in a freproof
booth.
Any one can learn to operate the
Pathescope in five minutes. Further
more, the Pathescope uses the famous
Psthe acetate Of cellulose non-infam-
mable film, approved everywhere by
insurance authorities and fire commits
sioners. With the PRthescope there ia
no danger of fire.
The schoolrooms need motion pict.
ure machines; education by Visualiza'
tion ia the latest and greatest medium
for teaching, and here the motion pict.
ure has reached its highest field OF
usefulness.
Only the motion picture can convey
an intelligent conception of the count
less thousands of mechanical opera
tions, plant developments, etc, which
are not demonstrable by description OF
static illustration.
Get your school in the running for a
Pathescope and keep it there.

how a dressmaker's delay saved ne
from possible death in the great Bazaa
fire in Paris:
there came the awful catastrophe

Cbarit6, about which you have
nrobably read. l mad promised to
90 to it, and / can truly say that
INV life literally hung on q thread,
for IL my couturiere had kept her
word and sent my dress home at
the time she promised, l should
certainly have gone and would
probAbly have been burned up with
the others. Marquise de Gallifet
also probably owed her life 70 my
not going. She came TO make me
a visit and fingered little ana
this delay saved her life. She en-
tered the fated bazaar just a mo;

therefore managed to escape.

the Cours la Refine we were very
much sstonished to see a man with
out a hat, very red in the face,
waving two blackened hands in the
most excited manner. He jumped
into a cab and drove away as last
as the horse could gallop. Then we

against the wall, as If fainting: The
air was filled with he smell OF
burning tar and straw, and we no

houses. l thought it must come
from q stable burning in the neigh
borhood. We had been 80 short
time in Paris that did not realize
how near We were TO the street
where the bazaar was held.
At half-past five we drove through
the Rue FRANCOIS on our way
home and saw q few people collect

we noticed nothing unusual When
we passed through the Avenue
