SOME time ago Miss Stella Patrick Campbell broadcast from London a talk on the legends of the flowers, which aroused considerable interest amongst listeners. Today, therefore, she is coming up from the provinces (where she is playing in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, on tour) to tell some similar fables and curious beliefs, of olden times and of our own, this time concerning the birds.

DESPITE the inroads of civilization, Africa and its peoples still retain many age-old customs and ways of life. Mr. Baxter, the Secretary of the Missionary Film Committee, who was responsible for that very interesting film, ' India Today,' has recently returned from a journey, with a well-known camera-man, from the Cape to Kenya, ' shooting ' the real life of the real African. The best of the filma that he secured, often under trying and even dangerous conditions, will be shown in London at the end of the month.

He gave the first public exhibition of electric lighting on a large scale at Newcastle in 1880. Professor Thornton holds the chair of Electrical Engineering at Armstrong College, and is a Vice-President of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.

THIS is the second of the talks in which
Professor Swinnerton, the geologist and palæontologist, will describe the evidence for evolution that is offered by the record of the rocks and fossils. Last time he described principally the way in which the expert can read the story of the rocks, and this evening he will indicate how the fossils found in them tell their tale to the geologist.

IN this, the second of his series of talks on the literature of adventure, Mr. Wilkinson will take as his subject those buccaneers who were the terror of the Spanish Main in their own time, and have been the delight of boyhood ever since.
