We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER
use to humanity as compared with the repulsive toad. Interesting facts in the development of the larva from the egg and tadpole stage to fully developed frog. References: The Common Frog. — Mivart.

553 Birth; Life and Death of Flowers Pathe
Gradual growth of seed due to heat and moisture of the earth. The sprout penetrating the ground, the development of the stalk, leaves and breathing organisms of the plant. The use of the cinematograph in showing the flowering of the plant makes the reel extremely interesting.

592 Animal Movements Analyzed Pathe
The action of various animals, photographed at eight times normal speed on an extrarapid camera, so that when the pictures are projected at normal speed, the movements are extremely slowed down to one-eighth speed and the spectator sees every phase of the animal's motions while leaping, jumping, running, etc.
594-b Catching Turtles Pathe
Water turtles are caught by the natives in hurdle traps. The flesh is edible and the shells are used for combs. Large turtles are strong enough to carry a heavy burden.
672 Physical Education Pathe
A group of men going through a calisthenic drill, photographed on speed camera. The resulting pictures, when projected at normal speed, are extremely slow and give an opportunity for studying every phase of the men's motions.
749 Tom-tit and Robin Red Breast Pathe
Several interesting close-ups of these two birds, in which their essential characteristics are pointed out.
754 The Carrot Caterpillar Pathe
The Carrot Caterpillar so called because it lives on the foliages of the carrot and in carrot beds. Its coloring and markings make it difficult to distinguish it from the foliage. Its progress is by means of six legs and twelve suckers. The reel shows clearly the metemorphosis to chrysalis stage. The third stage is the butterfly. In the spring the swallow tailed butterfly emerges perfectly formed.

759 Oxygen Pathe
Various experiments with oxygen ; its importance in combustion ; the effect on a living mouse of cutting off the supply of oxygen, etc. Very instructive.
