Meat abounds in proteins and

MOVIES 5000 YEARS AGO
Centuries Ago Chinese Children Were
 Amused By Motion Pictures.

The Prince of Wales, addressing a convention of motion picture pro dLcers in London recently, called at tention to the fact that the Chinese over 5000 years ago had motion pie lures and exhibited them at enter l tainments. Naturally, these state ments asonished many of his hearers The truth Is that very little novelty is discovered in modern inventions. Many of the most remarkable ma chimes and processes of today were an- ticioated by our ancestors in Babylo- milan, Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, and before these clever peoples exercised their minds in developing mechanical, surgecial, physical and mathematic sciences and inventions there were equally clever peoples doing similar work in Central Asia and China
 The Chinese had two forms of mo- tion pictures. In one the pictures were painted on long rolls of paper, similar and these were slowly drawn ou in a lantern-like box, where they were viewed through a slit or eye port A commoner type, and one of proba bl 6 much greater antiquity, was made by arranging a number of pictures on square or oblong wooden or paste board disks, stringing these on two endless ropes or. twine, and moving them round two end cyclinders. The | disks were often placed one on the other four or five deep. Optical illu- sions similar to those made in the modern projection theatre were ob- tained by Chinese showmen long be- fore the Christian era by carefully regulating the speed of the motion pictures and the lighting of the theater.-Dr. A. s. Brown in the New | York Tribute.

NORTHCLIFFE FAILURE?
So Says IT. G. Wells. Who Thinks the
 Same of Lloyd George

It has fallen to me to know one or two men of very great prominence pretty closely, men accounted enor- nous successes by most of the world and envied and admired by multi tudes. I have followed the career of Lord Northcliffe, for example. with attentive curiosity and that of MT. Lloyd George And to me these two present themselves as tremendous failures. But then the reader must remember that my standards of sue cess are unorthodox; I account Ma poleon I also a tremendous failure. And it is not because MT. Lloyd George has fallen from office and power and that Lord Northcliffe died in phase of mental eclipse that l count them unsuccessful
 Lincoln. the savior of American unity. died tragically. but I count him a supremely successful man. Jesus of Nazareth was no failure, though he died felon's death and had his life and teaching distorted beyond recog- milton by the theologian. Lord Bacon planned and prepared a great foundation for scientific inquiry, his works live forever. and the peculation and dismissal that darkened his last years cannot detract from his endur- ing success. I count Shakespeare a successful man, though he seems to have died half paralyzed and sunken to the level of a parochial somebody Sir Christopher Wren Shelley drugged and diseased Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Darwin. Such names are stars in the heavens of successful living. But these others, Northcliffe George and Napoleon, have done nothing but sprawl across the att tentlon of mankind.-H G. Wells in the American Magazine.
