"THE OCTOPOON."

The Red Men are still working hard on many of the little minor details for their big dramatic production of the Boston theater version of The Octo- room. or Life in Slavery Days." and everything looks bright and promising for big success in local entertain lnenIS. The Octoroon' is q beautiful southern drama and is instructive as well as historical. Tho play is full of that brilliancy and grace which char acteriZeS the dramatic power of high order. It also contains Il charming lit tie love story. but without 1nawkish- ness. which is cleverly combined with a plot of a fnuch grayer nature, devel- oped ill a series Of scenes of great in ferest and power. The dialogue is dis tinguisIed by it's brlliancy and it's hu- nor is genuine but refined. Tho scenes and situations are strong and startling and the scenic effects realistic. The play will certainly prove q revelation and the entire production a delightful surprise. The Excelsior quartet con sisting of Al T. Darling. William Fo- garty. Frederick De Forest and Will gagged for this production and will in- troduce q little sketch entitled Life on fhe Levee.' The sketch will be intro duced in the second act of the play and was written specially for this occa- sion.

AN ELECTRIC DIET.
Interesting Possibilities for Improv. ing All kinds and Conditions
 of Animal Life.

The notion of fattening pigs by cleo tricity is at all events novel, and if the inventor Of the process be not disap- pointed the idea will yet be applied to other animals, and even to human be- ings. To Dr. w. J. Herdman, of the medical faculty of the University of Michigan, the world owes this discov- cry, which is to the effect that the gal Nanic current promotes the growth of tissue-that is to say, the increase of flesh. It had previously been ascer- tained that plants develop more rapid ly under the electric stimulus, and there was no obvious reason why ami mals should not be equally responsive to it.
 Hence the idea of Dr. Herd man, which promises well, though its application cannot as yet be said to have passed be- yond the experimental stage.
 The doctor, for the sake of con- venience, began his experiments with guinea pigs, half a dozen of which he put in each of two cages. taking care that they should all be of exactly the same age, so as to make the conditions of the trial IS free from flaw as possible. Around one of the cages he strung sev- eral wires, through which current of electricity was kept passing night and day, while nothing of the kind was done with the other cage. Meanwhile, for a stated period. the anim als in both cages were fed with a precisely equal quan tity of provender of the same kind, so that there should be no advantage in this respect on either side. As result it was found that the guinea pigs that lived in an electric environment gained in weight during a measured time ten per cent. more than those of the non- electric cage.
 Dr. Herdman is confident that ordi- nary pigs, if subjected to similar treat ment, would exhibit like results. He proposes to build suitably wired pens, and to furnish the growing swi ne with regular supplies of electricity. much in the same way as was done with the guinea pigs.
 Nobody can say what may be the final influence of this new discovery npon the packing trade, or whether the 'electric bacon" of the future may not command special price in the
 market. The ina gination extends the application of Dr. Herdman' s discov- cry to almost any lengths. Why may ! not the day come when every COW in her stall shall have her private wire! And if electricity is good for pigs, it may serve to fatten babies, or even l grown persons who are desirous of in- creasing their avoirdupois. and thus
 most interesting possi abilities for the i'm. 1 provement of the human physique are opened up-Saturday Evening Post,

GA FREE LANCE"

So many times has Robert Mantell appeared here in various romantic plays that 1t would seem as if the Waterbury people would tire of him. but on every visit this capable actor is greeted with large audiences, and enthusiastic ones. too. Last night was a repetition of his former visits in point of, numbers in the house. but it was perhaps a trihe more interested and enthusiastic audience ill every re spect. Mantell is growing old: that
 seems to be the first thing that pre- sents itself to the audience. and his face marks that feature more than anything else. He still retains that deep and pleasing voice and in this his latest production he has ample oppor- tunity to use it with good effect. "A Free Iance' is q very good play and 1t was presented by q very capable company Interest begins with the opening numbers and never diminishes until the final scene is over. It is a play filled with features that not only are attractive but instructive and pleasing. In the character of Sir Ru- dolph MT Mantell presents part that won his audience from the start and his acting has seldom been seen to bet ter advantage. In all his scenes. whether in love making or in the tragic features, he won his audience and re- ceived merited recognition.

Patient in disaster he, misery and want around him Who ragged band of heroes led; Bla ackest spectars of the night ever vigilant they found him, True and faithful to a cause so nearly dead.
