One TropicaI Spot.

Only at one place in the United
States is there real tropical vegeta-
ton, says the Popular Science Month
". Florida and California have what
is called "sub-tropicaI" vegetation. In
the midst of a desert in the extreme
southern part of California is a true
oasis. The oasis, Palm Springs, lies
$50 feet below the sea level. So hot
is it there that there is a riot Of yege-
tatioQ all the year round. Enormous
fig trees and mammoth grape fruit
and oranges are always to be had.
The lemons that grow there weigh
two and a half pounds apiece. The
responsibility for all THIS may be laid
to a beautiful little stream which is
fed by the Colorado river and which
flows through the oasis only TO disap-
pear into the ground at its end.

Did Not Fool the Bear.

BrUin is self-educated, but excep-
tionally wise in the way of mankind.
A prOspector proved that. Having
suffered the loss Of much food, he pre-
pared a particularly tasty morsel for
the bear and left it in the cabin, with
a notice on it to warn any prospectors
or hunters that might enter that it
was intended for bruin, and bruin
alone. The bear arrived in due course
and ate everything edible and some
things that were not, but passed up
the meat that had been prepared for
him. And it was bacon, too. This
prospector declares that the bear must
be able to read.

''The Woman God Forgot"

The following extracts from the
Review by Peter Milne in the Motion
Picture News will be of interest as
that feature will be shown at the
Temple next Thursday.
The spectacle in which Jesse Lasky
presents the brilliant Geraldine Far
rar, "The Woman God Forgot" is a
picture of old Mexico at the time of
the Montezumas and the Spanish
conquests. It's magnificent scenes
representing the ancient city of the
Aztecs, people with hundreds of bar
barously and gorgeously clad men and
women, alternate with the intimacies
of the story in holding the spectator
spellbound. Miss Farrar lends of her
best to the role of Tecza, daughter of
Montezuma, and her best is truly
something superlative.
The love story of Tecza and Alvar-
ado furnishes an appealing angle,
while the fate of the proud and haugh-
ty Montezuma when the Spaniards
take possession of his rich city and
! cast him in chains attracts much of
the spectators sympathy.
The settings of "The Woman God
Forgot" are stupendous. One in par
ticular, representing the exterior OF
the Aztec temple. is one of the big
gest ever seen in picture. On this
| is one of the final scenes the soldiers
of Montezuma and the forces of Cor
tez do battle for the possession of the
city There is thrill after thrill in the
scene, particularly when some of the
participants, struck down by adver-
saries fall the whole length of its
slightly slanting wall.
Wallace Reed is again Miss Farrar's
leading man and makes most engag
ing figure of Alvarado.
Miss Farrar's gowns in this picture
are! in keeping with the gorgeous old
en- Spanish style, though her heaC
head dresses are similar to those o.
Gaby Delys. This feature has beer
seen by many Ocala people who CLAIM
it ranks with all of Farrar's othe
great successes.
