- The eye of the average person fails to note many interesting events. What perhaps seems totally uninteresting to the average observer is in reality possessed of a marked degree of interest. Taking for example the muscular action of the human. People walking, climbing, vaulting, running and engaged in other physical activities are not unusual sights, but the average eye is not trained to note the interesting movements in detail. Pathe's "Ultra-Rapid" camera has analyzed the movements of many animate objects and living things, a few of which are given in their colored educational subject called "Movements the Eye Misses."

The famous cathedral at Beauvais, the capital of the department of the Oise, which was begun in 1247, represents one of the finest types of Gothic architecture in Europe. In the same city the Courts of Justice, noble monuments to the men who built them, are beautiful specimens of architecture and are lasting tributes to the skill and workmanship of days that have gone by. In the town of Compiegne is the famous Castle. This was built by Louis XV, and was used as a royal residence by Napoleon I and Napoleon III. It is now a museum of antiques. The beauties of the structures of Senlis, which was almost destroyed at the Battle of the Marne, and the majestic Castle at Pierrefonds are also beautifully shown in their natural colors.
- This subject gives us a good idea of just what kind of millinery appears most pleasing to the Dutch women. In the country the women still wear the caps for which they are famous.

Among the birds which are introduced to the spectator are the Merlins, the Snipe, the Plover, the Black Duck, and others.
- From is source in Mt. Lozere, the river Tarn winds its sinuous way through ravines nearly two thousand feet in depth.

One of the most noted examples of ancient architecture, the Castle of Le Caze is shown. At a point known as the "Steps of Care," the Tarn disappears under a chaotic mass of titanic rocks. It is a treat to the eye to follow the excursionists through the various windings of this beautiful river, and it will be conceded by all that the optical trip is one that should not be missed.

- Bruges, a quaint medieval town, is traversed by many waterways. It is connected with the North Sea by three canals. Situated on one of these is the beautiful "Rosary Quay" shown in this picture. Sailing over the calm waters, one passes many moss-covered walls and stone bridges. The "Quay of the Fiddlers" is another enchanting spot. The houses are erected on the very edge of the canal. On approaching the Lion Bridge, one is greatly impressed by the lovely scenery, and the clear reflections mirrored in the limpid waters. In the distance stands "The Belfry," whose tower was originally erected in 1098. Here is also shown one of the many ancient cathedrals which grace the Old World city.
- One's first impression on seeing this title is that views of a religious character will follow, but the Mantis, a specie of insects, derives its name from the manner in which it holds its very large forelegs when waiting for its prey.

- All the charm and simplicity of this wonder city of Holland, together with the most picturesque scenes, are brought out through the magic of Photocolor. It is shown how, on account of the absence of roads or streets, all transportation is done in boats on the many canals, as in the real Venice away down in Italy. There are countless bridges in all parts of the city which are necessary for the crossing of the canals. Then scenes of how the inhabitants carry on their trade are shown, how the barges are pushed, the difficulties the grocer has in delivering his goods, all of more than ordinary interest.
- The coastline of California, with some of its rocky formations, is quite as grand as the coast of any country in the world. All this is easily proven by one look at the beautiful pictures called California's Rocky Coast, which Pathe has taken of the coast near Carmel-by-the-Sea. Some remarkable locations and unusual pictures of these rocks have been secured. There is shown a blowhole, a cave hollowed by the pounding of the waves and how the water is blown out through the hole by the air it has compressed as it rushes in. Another scene shows the hills in the distance and the marked contrast they form to the rugged rocks of the shore.

Houses of quaint and cozy design, clustered along the banks of the river, vie with Nature herself tor beauty and charm.
