a far larger number of subjects appropriate to the education of youth than is generally supposed. Nor must we forget that thanks to the complicated apparatus of micro-cinematography provided by M. Charles Pathe in 1909, Dr. Jean Comandon was able to reveal on the screen intimate phenomena of animal and vegetable metabolism and the development and movement of infinitesimally minute beings. It is not generally known how much patience was required to seize from the objective the precise moment of the anticipated phenomenon, in order to grasp and fix its successive stages on the cinematographic film and above all one has no idea of the number of fruitless attempts which preceded the capture of such processes as the division of a cell, an instance of phagocytose, etc. The revelaation of these marvels of a world beyond the grasp of our organs of sense has consecrated the science and mastery of Dr. Comandon and established his world reputation. No further particulars are necessary to justify us in affirming that as regards instructional and educational films, France has nothing to envy the New World ; she may even be the richer, but she has yet to take stock of and publish her inventory ; and we know that this task is now in hand.
