The origin of many of the items is of interest. "Dried flies," for example, are not lies but a species of water bug allied to our common water boatman and the collecting of these in the lakes of Mexico constitutes an important industry.

ARLI95'S BIRTHDAY

AN ARRIVAL OF NOTE

THE

DECCA PORTROLA

A complete all electric radio-gram in the compass of an ordinary acoustic portable. Something that-- until the introduction of this truly remarkable little instrument was considered out of the question. But the seemingly impossible has been accomplished and DECCA— the inventors of the first acoustic portable-now introduce the world's first portable radio-gram.

A marvel of ingenuity, the Portrola is distinguished not merely for its portability and novelty, but it really is a highly efficient radio-gram, giving superlative results on radio or records and challenging favourable comparison with most multi-valve receivers.
