Not shooting the scenes in foot hills nearby the studio as a matter of convenience, but in the actual region in which the story is laid, has been responsible for making Mans Law and Gods" Finis Fox produc- tfon, starring Jack Livingstone and Ethel Shannon, which. is now being presented at the Palace Theater, see nically one of the most enchanting pictures which ever graced the silver sheet.
 The scenes are laid in the Cana dian Rockies, and there the picture was photographed. The grandeur and sublimity of this range is un- tqualled on the American continent. The majesty of it's peaks awes the bcholder, but it is the enchanting beauty of it's valleys with it's rocks and rills, its cascading rivulets, it's undcrbrush and ferns and wild flow CTS which make this region the para disc of the Americas and mecca for tourists.

Touched by his appeals. the jail warden permitted Hamon to remain in his cell, 6 voluntary tenant.
 A second attempt to free the man met with repetition of the re- quest to be permitted to stay. His wish again was granted and the jailer, sympathetic and interested in the case, asked Hamon to tell his story.
 The prisoner asserted that he had communicated with the Mayor of Chicago by wireless and had been told that $1, 900 had been deposited in Boise bank in lannon's name Knowing well, however. that there is no wireless in the county jail. the jailer asked him to continue.
 "Why, I've got $7.O00.O00 in the banks and they won't let me draw a cent of it--they won't even give me a check book"
 The next morning Hamon was com mitted to the state insane asylum.

H., May 21.-An unusual battle between monsters Of the deep was witnessed by members of the territorial legislature and their guests while travelling between the islands of Oahu and Molokai on an inspection tour of the leprosarium at kalaupapa and the rehabilitation tract at Kaunakakai, Molokai.
 A smooth, glassy sea was broken suddenly, about mile from the ship, by the preaching of sone whale and then a second. leaping clear of the water and then plunging into the sea as though they were playing. Pre- sumably they were sounding but they were down less than a minute and appeared again, leaping high in the air Next the whales reared their ungainly heads above the water and their tails Iike huge tops.
 At this point the vessel carrying the legislato came sufficiently close to the whales 10 make the move men1s of the mammals clearly visible from the decks It was found that the whales. instead of playing, were being attacked by two thrashers, ol hpge sharks, which are remarkable for the length of their tails.

He forced her to force herself to
hold her head under water again and
again and again, until this initial
fear left her. He enticed her gently
but none the less implacably to lie
on her back In the shallow end Of the
pool. She clutched at him wildly for
many days. but finally came a day
when. though her face was white and
her lips were twisted. she released
her hold on him and lay floating on
the transparent bosom Of the pool.
