Te Joss and the Penguin have within their purview more than one indication of the march of modern science, bits of the Rice expedition's radio station from Brazil, and the like, and passing out into another room you may see f'i 'I' i-t Arctic expedition of 1S57-9, as well as a bit of the one Dr. Uawson dragged for thirty-one miles after the death of his companion. You are reminded that Dr. Mawson is still in the thick of the research fray by a glance at the wall where hang many pictures and drawings of the exploring vessel Discovery, and by the model of that good ship in which he is now a voyaging and whose name he means to reaffirm.

The First Physical Globe. A large and imposing object is the first physical globe, -made by Dr. Veith Johnston and exhibited In 1S51. when separate medals were awarded for the globe and the stand. The globe is supported by beautifully carved figure representing the four continents.

There is also Charles Price's terrestrial globe of 1720, dedicated to Sir Isaac Newton, and many ancient maps) whereon dolphines sport in the seas and feathered redskins and other interesting people are depicted somewhat disproportionately about the land, one Chinese, for instance, covering a good many hundred miles. Then there are great many personal belongings of and daring men: The soiled old cap of Dr. Livingstone made for himself of tent cloth, lined with native grass and complete with peak; his collar, too, with its frayed buttonhole; the boots Stanley wore on his last expedition thru Africa, i'''iow Kept New Yrk Vvw' Humming and Cheering i I2EXOLA. )' I I BROTHER wtuatzt 1 i i i tsPTTt '1 II SMS i i H-t4; -V- 'rAi' 1 YMc 't I I I 5 'BROADWAY- JAS LEAVE HOM BUT IN GLASS CASES Royal Geographical Museum in London Treasure Honse of Testimony to High Adventure. By Rose Patterson.

Staff correspondent of Te Journal and The North American Mewapaper Alliance. LONDON, Dec. 14. In a quiet house with a trim garden not far from the Albert hall a yellow and black bewhiskered Chinese joss and a great white, breasted king penguin are forever keeping guard over a modest collection of faded but significant things. The Chinese Joss, from his cor ner in the large, bright room, day after day continues to fold his hands and droop his long black moustaches while he philosophizes on the futility of the reckless and adventurous spirit of these men of the English speaking race whose trophies lie all about him.

And week in and week out the proud penguin, in his opera cloak of great feathers with its brilliant yellow collar, throws out his white chest and disdains the joss's ob servations. "Poor, cold, brazen thing," he seems to say, "how can you go on drooping there, musing so pessimistically, amid a galaxy of things like this? Little things, dusty things they may be, but they are rich with the storied past of this great country." The scene of this perpetual and silent dialog is the museum of the Royal Geographical society in Kensington gore. The mournful Chinese joss has traveled a long way to Kensington. He was taken by Midshipman (afterward Admiral Sir Albert Markbam during the suppression of the Taiping rebellion at the capture of Ningpo in 1862. And the perky penguin has had no mean journey from Macquarie island, whence he was brought by the National Antarctic expedition of 1901-1904.

And now, having become fully acquainted with these two worthies, let usphilosophize with the one or become enthusiastic with the other over some of the treasures in their keeping-. Reminder of the Great Livingstone. Near Mr. Joss you may see some four feet of the great tree under which the heart of Dr. Livingstone was buried on the shores of Lake Bangweulu, where old village used to be.

They nave removed the bark and carved in deep letters: DR. LIVINGSTONE May 4, 1873 If that great name is not already deeply buried in the mind of the beholder it will surely take root when he sees the great heavy slave chains Livingstone brought from central Africa. A short walk will bring you back again alnfost beside the penguin to the contemplation of a very hard and uncomfortable looking saddle, with two horns of wood, and shabby cushions of canvas and worn and faded red leather. But the dull red leather grows crimson and the wooden horns seem to have turned into gleaming brass trumpets playing a martial fanfare when it is borne in upon you that on thi3 very old saddle General Gordon rode into Khartoum, making his final entry into that besieged city in 1885 to meet a hero's death. Hard by the silk flag Sir Edward Parry hoisted in latitude 82.45 in July, 1827, is the union jaqk carried by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight from Point Barrow to Spitz- bergen a hundred and one years later.

Salim, only wife of his highness Seyyid Bar-ghash, sultan of Zanzibar some eighty years ago, I must leave you to imagine the history while I tell you about the Nyoto leopard claws. The Mobali tribe in the Belgian Congo boast a secret leopard society, whose members believe they have a leopard inside them. When the leopard of a member is uppermost he feels constrained to put onto his wrsits the leopard claws and to fling a leopard skin Over his back and head. The claws are deadly looking steel arms, fashioned with five sharp blades, hooked almost like the thumb and fingers, of a hand when it is spread out in claw like fashion.

This armed and attired the leopard man crouches in the forest near a path until some hapless wretch appears, to be seized by the throat and torn by the jugular vein. The body is left where it falls, and it is then Incumbent upon the rela Lincoln Symphony Orchestra Concert Stuart Theater Sunday, December 15 2:30 p. m. Tickets at box office.

The special was made by the French Pathe company in 1904 and is 400 feet longv It is said to have created a sensation in its day. Pathe claims that "The Run away Horse" introduced the "chase" idea to motion pictures.

Hollywood Film Shop By Duane Hennessy. HOLLYWOOD, Every time that "Fashion Newl" the reel of bats, coats and gowns displayed upon the screen, people in the audience wonder: "Where does the money for that picture come from and is there a profit in it?" There is. George W. Gibson, the president of Fashion Features, inc. conceived the idea and built up a paying film.

Here is how he does it: He decided to make a weekly reel of fashions, newsy, in that it would contain the latest from Hollywood and Paris shops, and more additionally attractive because the styles would be displayed by popular actresses. Fashion News itself does not sell, so what the fan sees on the screen, the theate gets for nothing. But somewhere in the film, there is an announcement that a certain store in the town sells the Various fashions displayed. The store pays for the showing and that's where Gib son makes his moneys With the coming of. the talkies he kept pace by adding voice to the reel so that either the star or Miss Marguerite Swope, his style expert is heard.

Large studios sanction the use of their stars for the publicity re turn and the style authority given them and their players. Celebrities do not necessarily have skeletons in their closets, but nearly all do have some event about which they do not like to talk. Here are a lew: Dorothy Dwan "I'd rather for get the day I saw my double drowned in a river in northern Cal ifornia while we were making location scenes for a picture. It was a long time before I could throw off the nightmare of seeing girl carried down the river to her death." Monte Brice "Athletic clubs. I hate to think of the time during my younger days that I was a rubber at $9 a week and glad to have the Job.

The wolves were Just out-? side the door." Robert Armstrong "The hall bedroom days after the World war. I couldn't get a good Job and the memories of cheap stock companies and small time vaudeville are not pleasant memories." Here's a different one: LucUle Webster Gleason "I'll talk about anything." Clara Bow "Well I don't want to talk about my childhood. It makes me moody for a long time afterward." Will Rogers "I don't like to be interviewed, but I guess 1 have to. Why should I put out smart cracks for nothing when I might get something for them?" The historic negro section of Washington, D. will form the background for "Goat Alley," a short variety film directed by Lloyd Bacon for Warner with an all negro cast.

Pal "Stole" The death of Pal, the bull terrier veteran of the movies, caused his owner, Harry Lucenay, to recall the days when some featured players bore no love toward the dog. Pal had a way of "stealing" a picture that no actor relished. Pal played bis first role in 1921 In a Wallace Reid picture and immediately became popular. He supported many other stars and eventually became a 'Star himself. In the "Pal Comedies," Pal sold papers, delivered groceries and was a nursemaid.

Pal always made a hit with the children, Lucenay says and many times his name was billed above that of human players because he attracted so many youngsters to the theaters.
