UNIVERSAL SCREEN MAGAZINE.<br />

ISSUE NO. 40 (<strong>Dec</strong>. 15).—This interesting<br />

number opens with a warning to slackers. The<br />

examining pbyslclan is usually a good judge<br />

of human nature, as most general practitioners<br />

are. and can spot a faked disability with<br />

little difficulty. The Screen Magazine caught<br />

the members of the Barnum & Bailey circus<br />

performing for charity before the inmates of<br />

Bellevue Hospital in New York, and it furnished<br />

a very interesting chapter. It also persuaded<br />

Henry Disston & Sons, of Philadelphia,<br />

to permit the Magazine to show its patrons<br />

how this leading saw manufacturer makes<br />

hand saws in its manufactory at Philadelphia.<br />

Another interesting chapter is that contributed<br />

by the Chippewa Indians of Northern Minnesota.<br />

These Indians subsist principally upon<br />

rice, and it is interesting to note the manner<br />

in which they harvest and cure and distribute<br />

their winter food supply.<br />
