No. 31 BELLA NAPOLI Naples, Vesuvius and Capri T he public buildings, street scenes, markets — the daily life of the Neapolitans. Capri, and its Blue Grotto. Pozzuoli, and the famous Fumarole, or volcanic vents. The excavated streets of Pompeii ; views of Vesuvius and its crater — scenes of the vineyards which grow on the lava deposits. No. 32 HOW EYES TELL LIES Optical Illusions and the Kaleidoscope D esigns more intricate and more beautiful than man ever dreamed of are created when common objects such as the handle of a pair of scissors, a little bunch of excelsior or bubbling water are viewed through the kaleidoscope. Which of the three men is tallest? Are the lines parallel? Is this a circle? All the old familiar optical illusions and several new ones are presented as only the moving picture camera can show them — as animated diagrams in which the distortions occur before our overconfident eyes. No. 35 BIRDS ON THE WING A Slow-motion Study of Bird-flight Near the ruins of an old castle a flock of pigeons alight, then take to their wings while the camera records their movements both at normal speed and with slow-motion. The use of wings in maintaining a difficult perch, the flying and soaring of sea-gulls, a cock-flight, the migration of huge flocks, the forays of the owl, the majestic flight of the condor, the chase and capture of a pigeon by the hawk — these diverse types of wing-action are studied in the same fashion. — 9 —
