TREES
From my bedroom window I look out
upon a little forest of trees and they are
never the same, it is one forest in the
morning, another in the afternoon and
at night yet another and still more
beautiful one filled with strange magic
and mystery. Very early all through
the singing months I am wakened with
the songs of the birds first the robin, as
he is the lat at night save for the night
ingale and hooting owl and I often
wonder whether I love my trees best in
spring or in the winter. A row of houses
is the same ail the year round, it knows
no changes, and is the most monotonous
f outlooks; but the trees have always

something new to say, it is impossible
ever to tire of the trees. If one morn
ing 1 were to wake and fine my forest
with its colony of friendly rooks and
wise owls gone, I should not want to
look out my of window any more; it is a
very little wood, but it holds as many
pleasures for me as ever Adam found in

EDISON'S LATEST MARVEL
Mr. Edisi n has been given a practical
demonstration of his kinetophone, by
means of which motion pictures are made
to talk. A picture was thrown on the
screen, and invention, which synch
ronizes the automatic movements of phot
ograph and phonograph records, spoke
for itself. The kinetophone is not yet
perfect, the Telegraph says, but in a few
weeks it will be so far perfect, according
to friends of the great inventor, that
music halls everywhere will be clamoring
for its possession. The lips of poeple in
the picture move in unison with the
words of the phonograph. A picture of
a man thrown on the screen dropped a
cricket ball, and its impact sounded in
stantly from the floor. The man pound
ed the table with a hammer, and every
blow was perfect. He dropped a plate,
and as the pieces flew the crack resound
ed. Finally, a motor car horn tooted,
and the demonstration ended. Electric
wires control the mechanism of the pho
tograph and phonograph, and the records
for eye and ear are made simultaneously.
Mr. Edison proposes to make the person
alities and .voices of the world's great
people familiar to everybody. Theatri
cal and operatic productions will be
popularized in the remoter parts of the
earth. London Standard.
