Moving Picture's Aro Being Placed in English Railway Stations. Complaints made by deaf people that the advent of the "talkies" rob- bed them of one 'of their greatest enjoyments, have resulted in a cur- iods development of the modern film: This can only be described as the si- lent "talkie," in which the players, instead of uttering sounds, use the sign language familiar to the mute, in order to convey the dialogue to the deaf spectator. And yet another innovation in the story of the motion picture is to come into being. Daylight cinemas are to be installed at Victoria and other great London railway termini, so that passengers may amuse themselves while waiting for their trains. Novel types of British lenses will ensure that the films will be visible in the brightest sunlight. They will be shown on a sgreen, measuring four feet by five, wllich will be placed in such a position that it cannot be obscured by passers-by. If the new attraction spreads throughout the country, one may see an end to the boredom of railway stations.—From. "Pearson's. Weekly." • ELEPHANT PERSISTENT: Insisted on Lady Buying i 'Bun for Hint. Aa elephant story cornea from a correspondent. The elephant,., which is part of a circus at oneeot the towns recently visited, was, kept in a field on the outskirts, and walked in daily for the "show." On the first morning a governess was walking to her em- ployer's house. Having a bun in het bag she gave it to the elephant and passed on. Next day an apple was offered and accepted. On the third 'day' the meeting place was near a baker's shop and the, elephant waited while a bun was bought for it. On the fourth day the meeting tool; place beyond the baker's shop, and the governess having no present wat about to pass on. In an instant the elephant placed his trunk round her shoulders, turned her towards the shop and gently pushed het along: Her instinct to escape was 'checked by the keeper. "!'.should advise you to go back and get the bun," he said "I don't know what he might do if you try to getaway," So they walkoe thus to the shop and the 'bun war' provided. CLf1IOPATRA'S NEEDLE. Has No Association with Egypt's Great Queen. A tablet recently affixed to Cleo patra's Needle, on the Victorie, Em bankment, makes it clear that the "needle" has no association wit! Egypt's great queen. It was origin- ally erected about a century and t half before hertimeby•King Thoth mes III., whose prayers and offering it records, as well as the victoria:, c:, his successor, Rameses II. There is a more recent inontore associated with Cleopatra's ,Needle. A Zeppelin left a number of mark": - ccr the stonework and tho two sphinxea. at, the base of the' obelisk, and tie question is now being discussed whe ther to preserve them as an eloquen' piece of Londpn's war -time histct' or to repair them and put up a :tat' let to commemorate the event. It has apparently .already been dr tided bythe records and museum'. committee . of. the 'London Count* Council; however, to leavethe mark, on the stonework of the monument but the fate of the two bronze sphinxes is still doubtful.
