85 CLASS 3 -Popular Science Useful Arts and Natural H istory REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER Next are several scenes with Deer, including one Doe so tame that it wanders up and down the main street of the village, turning out for traffic. A herd of Elk is shown and a mother Grouse so tame that she roosts upon the director's arm and feeds from his other hand. Other birds illustrated are the Water Ousel with its peculiar nervous bobbing motion, a Robin with its nest, a Fly Catcher and some baby Thrushes before they have their eyes open and later when about half grown. The photography of this subject was taken under very difficult conditions, and is not altogether perfect, but the unique subject compensates in some degree for this defect. It will be appreciated by nature lovers and others interested in wild life of the sort described. 885 feet standard length Rental $1.25 3043 Code FAGO Housekeeping at the Zoo Ditmars The subject opens with a thorough sweeping and bathing of the Elephants, followed by an oiling of their skin, which is sometimes necessary to preserve its flexibility when the animals are in confinement. Then a baby Orang-utan is shown amusing itself in a bucket. Then the Bears are given a bath and the Cassowary gives an exhibition in hard kicking. In this, however, he is easily surpassed by the Kangaroo who follows. Then the Wild Horse of Thibet is shown as one of the most vicious of wild animals, in his attempt to attack a man up a tree and later in tearing a dummy man to shreds. The Russian Stag is shown to be about equally vicious. Then the Tapir is shown with its peculiar markings, followed by a couple of Alpacas who look very much like young Llamas. The Indian Rhinocerous is shown in his armor-plate skin and the brilliant coloring of the Axis Deer is in strong contrast. Next follow close-ups of the Musk Ox, Canadian Lynx, Peacocks, Tortoises and Wild Turkeys. 989 feet standard length Rental $1.25 3045 Code FAGAR The Desert Harvest Bray In this is presented one of the most valuable accomplishments in the important work of Luther Burbank, the celebrated horticulturist.
