EVERYBODY is interested to know how common objects that wo handle every day are made, and everyone is interested in money, so nothing excites popular curiosity more than the working of the Mint. And there is no danger of being disappointed, for the interior of the Mint is full of wonders to which its grim and barrack-like exterior gives no clue. No machines ever made are more nearly human than tlwse that count, test and sort our money before it goes out to the banks. In every way, Mr. Trevor Clarke has got a fascinating story to tell.

Sung by Isabel I'Anson
Solveig's Song; Margaret's Cradle Song; In the Boat (Im Kahne); Eros (Benzon)

Peer Gynt, in Ibsen's famous play, has wasted his whole life, wandering over the earth, having all kinds of fantastic experiences, but never doing anything very useful, bent only on the glorification of Self.
Once he has a vision.
He sees Solveig, who loves him, sitting spinning outside the old hut he built long ago for himself and her. She is now a middle-aged woman, but still fair-haired and comely, and as she spins she thinks of Peer and sings 'Thou wilt return some day and find me waiting.' This is known as Solveig's Song.
In the second song Margaret, watching over her baby boy Haakon, weaves sweet fancies about him, and prays God to shield him from all harm. '
In Eros, the poet, in declamatory style, calls on the 'frosty cold hearts of the North,' who 'seek roses when past is the day,' to tarry not, but 'go forth to love's happy meeting,' for 'that is the only true greatest earthly joy to be found!'

THIS is the last of this series of talks, for the total eclipse itself occurs tomorrow. Professor Turner will talk today from Southport, where he has gone to take part in the official observation of the eclipse.
