The Inventor of the "Photoma ton" machine is a man named Anatol Josephe, of Shanghai, who parted with his patent rights for very considerable sum.

Eight. minutes later the finished por- traits will be delivered to you through a chute at the other end of the machine.

Mr. Gilbert has had a very fu- teresting and varled career. Starting life as a journalist, he was appointed a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Division in 1914 and was one of eight brothers.
