THE CINE-MAIL.
White residents in the Dutch East Indies it is reported, have instituted a "cine-mail" i n place of the weekly letter home. A director of a wellknown photographic company with world-wide interests says: "Amateur cinematography has brought home within seeing distance of the loneliest places. A letter may be ever so descriptive and yet fail to convey an intimate idea of the writer's welfare. With the cine-letter one has only to project the film on the drawing room screen and distant relatives and friends are with you in the life."
At a school in Brighton a motherless »irl receives regularly from her father, a British officer in India, a weekly cine-mail, and ai* Indian potentate, now in Paris, sends home a weekly film of his wanderings for the benefit of the ladies of the Zenana. Amateur picture makin« is rapidly becoming a universal pastime and experts consider the time not far distant when the portable cinema and cine-kodak will be an essential part of the factory, office and school as well as the home.
