for classroom use in Visual Instruction, the one thing (next to blackboards) that is of greatest pedagogic utility, is the Mcintosh Automatic Sciopticon.
It attaches to any incandescent socket, is simple, noiseless, requires no attention or operating— in a word, is the ideal classroom projector. Can be fitted for use without electricity, too.

Finally the much-desired moose is glimpsed, swimming through the water. Not satisfied with so fleeting an acquaintance, the camping party penetrates still farther into the interior, passing beautiful river banks, heavily forested. At last, the heart of the moose country, and the record of the camera's encounter with this most interesting animal completes the reel. One unusual ''shot" is obtained by following the bull-moose for a long distance as he swims across a lake.
Dwellers of the Deep (Vitagraph). An Urban Popular Classic, filmed in the aquarium of the New York Zoological Society, at Castle Garden.
The reel opens with a view of a boat sent out by the aquarium to gather fish from traps, follows with some exterior and interior views of the aquarium, and shows a number of the varieties of under-water life which form the displays to be seen there. Especially interesting are the sea lions — said to be the most popular with the spectators, who gather in crowds to watch the restless animals being fed. An unusual view shows a baby sea lion, which, the title explains, lived only 24 days, since sea lions born in captivity do not thrive.
Under-water views of many interesting
species follow — the catfish, whose ugly "feelers" make it possible for him to detect food in muddy waters where eyes are of no use; the strange three-cornered coffer fish, his body encased in a hard shell; and splendid close-ups of sharks, to one of which is attached the queer "sucking fish" who thus makes the journey to new feeding grounds with the minimum effort on its own part. The spade-fish appears with a zebra-like coat, and the globe fish, a strange form, swelling when frightened in order to float on the surface and escape its under-water enemies.
The views in the reel are most interesting and entertaining, and the subject as a whole is admirable for non-theatrical showing. It would have been refreshing, however, if the title artist had refrained from making the allusions for which his subject gave him obvious opportunity. Such titles as: "Because baby sea lions must be taught to swim, and this one never learned, he was dubbed 'Volstead the Dry,'" may be hilariously funny to a theatrical audience, but will never endear the film to the hearts of educators. Barred ofiicially from our best vaudeville, it is time such remarks were struck out of our intelligent movies.
