MIRACLE MEN
A man who has lost one leg meets another who is hobbling along on two short stumps. A good Samaritan in the shape of Clyde A. Aunger, President of the George R. E. Milligan Company, invites them to accompany him. They drive to the shop where artificial limbs are made. Through the eyes of the camera, the observer gets a clear idea of the various processes used in manufacturing these unusual objects. Having seen Mr. Aunger walking without limping, one is surprised to learn that he himself wears an artificial leg. By means of ingenious joints and springs, some of these limbs duplicate the movements of a real leg. The climax comes when the man with both legs missing walks out of the shop on artificial legs of normal length. He even drives his own car, operating the clutch, brake and accelerator with ease. The one-legged boy walks along the street without any impediment in his gait. A skillful presentation of an interesting subject.

THE TRAP DOOR SPIDER
Famous for its skill and cunning, the trap door spider is one of the most interesting of living creatures. This film presents some remarkably clear views of a trap door spider and its nest. A man finds the home of a trap door spider and digs it up. The nest is a cylinder about threequarters of an inch in diameter and seven inches long. It is lined with silk which the spider spins. The man breaks the nest open and the spider drops out. Finding another hole, it proceeds to build a new nest. The method it uses to construct the trap door is particularly interesting. It is shown with amazing clearness in the picture. The spider is also photographed inside the nest. The observer sees plainly how it clings to the under side of the door and holds it shut after it has been disturbed. How it lies in wait for its victims at the opening of its lair is also illustrated. An extremely entertaining and instructive nature study which anyone will enjoy seeing.
