CAMERA ANGLES
Fast Film at Zoo
Can Do Wonders

when they are alert and &C.
tive. Interesting shots can be
made of the animals while
they are actually being fed.
The carnivores such as the
lions. tigers, leopards, etc.
make especially good camera
targets during the time they
are feasting on their ration
Of raw meat. The seals are
truly asquatic stars while fish
are tossed to them by the
keepers.
Bears Are Actors
One of the camera high
lights of the ZOO is the area
where the bears are Gagged.
These usually good-natured
creatures have learned to
cajole zoo visitors with all
sorts of appealing tricks that
are well worth a roll or two
of your film. A handful of
peanuts will work wonders
with the bears-your camera
will do the rest.
The monkey house is an
other natural spot for terrific
stills and movies. These
amusing little fellows are al
ways good for laughs and
mirth provoking snapshots.
You'll always remember your
trip to the zoo if you can
catch one of those eye-catch-
ers of a mother monkey
picking fleas" from one of
the babies of the family.
Watch Use of Flash
The ZOO keepers are we'll
used to people swapping their
thousands of snapshots daily
and seldom interfere with le-
Ultimate camera activities.
But observe the few rules
that are enforced for your
own safety and that of other
visitors. Some animals are
fearful of f1aShbulbS that are
set off in their faces and it
is better to ask where flash
can be used than to cause an
embarrassing disturbance.
With film speeds, even in
color. as fast as they are to-
day, there should be little il
any need for flash pictures at
the zoo. You will probably
find that with your fast lens
plus a fast film that using
available light will make it
even necessary to stop down
quite a way to prevent over
eXposure-even inside the ZOO
buildings.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
3-Leqqed Buffalo

A very popular coin in the
buffalo nickel series is the
three-legged variety minted
at Denver in 1887.
This scarce coin is an odd
result of a common problem
in mint operations. Waste
metal at times plugs up some
of the depressed area of a
die, so that no design appears
at that point on the coins.
In this case the area of the
die producing the forward
front leg became clogged.
leaving a blank surface where
the leg should have been.
Demand for this variety
has led to some dishonest
practices. The normal 1887

Ocean Island in the central
Pacific is almost pure phos-
phate rock.
Three Gilbert and Ellice
Islands stamps are being is
sued today to commemorate
the almost accidental dis
covery so years ago of this
unusual geological formation.
The British colony of 81
coral atolls lies across the
equator 2400 miles south
west of Hawaii. 1t was at
Tarawa in the Gilberts that
American Marines struggled
across a coral reef in 1943 in
one of the bloodieSt amphib-
ious landings of World War II.
Today the GilbertS, like
most of the central Pacific
islands, export copra. the
dried kernal of the coconut.
Unlike most of them, they
have another major asset
the phosphate rock of Ocean
Island.
= A doorstep in an office in
Sydney, Australia, led to the
phosphate discovery. 1t was
a rather curious piece of rock
picked up at the German
annexed island of Nauru in
1897 by the supercargo of a
Pacific Islands Co. ship.
An employe of the. COM
pany, Alfred F. Qater Sir
Alfred Ellis, noting that the
doorstep resembled phos-
plate, was assured that it
had been analysed and Ger
titled as petrif1ed wood. Ellis
insisted on another test and
the rock was identified as
phosphate, valuable for use
as fertilizer.
Nauru was in German
hands, but Ellis led an expe-
dition to nearby Ocean Is
land, in the British sphere
Of influence. It's value as a
rich source of phosphate was
quickly confirmed, and Ellis
negotiated a mining conces-
sion for the Pacific Islands
Co. On November %, 1900,
Ocean Island was annexed
by Great Britain.

and Polynesian stock. still
