caught either with barrel shaped traps or with the bare hands. A man is shown catching an octopus with his hands and turning it inside out. How the cuttlefish shoots out a spray of dark ink to confuse its enemies is illustrated. Another branch of the family is called "stomach-footed." or Gastro-Poda. Snails and slugs belong under this classification. Snails carry their homes on their backs and don't have to worry about paying rent. One remarkable view shows the crawling movements of a snail as seen by looking right through the snail's body. An entertaining and instructive scientific picture.

CRAYFISH AND THE STICKLEBACK
The crayfish (sometimes called "Crawfish," belongs to a great branch called AR-THRO-PO-DA or "jointed foot." Its relatives include crabs, lobsters, barnacles, etc. They usually are found in shallow water. A fisherman is shown catching a crayfish so that a close-up of it may be obtained. Reproduction is by eggs which are attached in a cluster to the abdomen of the female. If a crayfish loses a claw, nature soon supplies another one.
The second part of this reel is devoted to the "Stickleback," the fish that builds a nest like a bird's nest. This fish is about three inches long.

The male fish is shown, first building the nest and then keeping guard over it.

A cross section representing a portion of the earth's crust, shows clearly how water, falling as rain, normally soaks into the soil and flows down the slopes of bedrock to underground reservoirs in the valleys, where it can be pumped to the surface for irrigating and for filling reservoirs. The dramatic element is supplied by a married couple who camp in the forest. The man thoughtlessly starts a fire and it gets out of control. From his lookout tower a ranger spies the smoke and summons help. All night long the fire rages.
On the following morning, supervisors fly in an airplane over the burning forests to learn the extent of the catastrophe. Some remarkable views are shown of a forest fire photographed from the air. It is necessary to draft thousands of men to fight the fire. The fire is finally conquered, but it has devastated a large region, doing damage that it will take at least twenty-five years to remedy. The man who started the fire is brought to trial. The judge explains to him the terrible destruction which
