Loco Weed.

1t has been found by Government
experts that the poisonous action Of the
loco weed Is due to barlum. Investiga
lions have been in progress for the pas,
rev years to determine the cause OF
thls condition Of range stock, which
mas come to be known as "locoed." The
reason the weed is so poisonous in some
sections and not in others Is that on
some soils it contains no barium. The
bureau Of Plant Industry, in recent
bulletin, says that it is possible to Kill
out the weeds If the pastures are
Iehced. as the weeds grow in patch, IS.
lhere is no feasible way Of Kidding
ranges of the weeds, however.
1t was found that locoed cattle can
IN most cases be cured by course of
treatment with strychnine, while
iocoed horses can generally be cured by
course of treatment with Fowler's
solutions. The animals under treat
meht must not be allowed to eat the
loco weed and should be given only
hutr1ous food but as far as possible
food with laxative properties. To this
END magnesium sulphate was admins
tered to correct the constipation, which
IS almost universal among locoed ami
mals. 1T should be noted, too. that
magnesium sulphate may serve to some
extent as an antidote to the poison.

{ The End. }
TEACHING BY MOVING PICTURES.
Surgical Operations and Nervous
Diseases Before the Camera.

Diseases Before the Camera.
One Of the new uses to which NOV
ing pictures are put is teaching. and
at least one house dealing in films pub
fishes list of some hundreds intended
tor classroom use, says the New York
Sun.
Most peculiar of all are the pictures
Of operations intended for display In
hospitals and medical colleges. In fact.
it is explicitly stated that medical and
surgical films are restricted to exhibi-
ton before such institutions and can
not be leased except under strict guar
antees that their use will be so limited.
Perhaps, however, the general public
would not care to sit through a vaude-
vile show and at the end as the house
was darkened read in letters Of light
upon the screen: Removal of a myx-
omatous tumor Of the thigh" or "Extir-
patton Of bilateral exopthalmic
goitre'
The catalogue, which describes these
films and which promises many more
than are contained in the issue for this
year, describes them in great detail
One series consists Of half dozen Oper-
ations all of the same general nature
the "Extirpation Of encapsuled tllmOrs,"
and in all more than one-ffth of a mile
of film is needed
Surgery is not alone in being thus
illustrated. Medicine has its pictures,
more particularly to illustrate the dis
eases in which there is a characteristic
walk. Various forms of paralysis
where the diagnosis is dependent on the
gait are shown in detail. The pictures
of such a disease as paralysis agitans
show the characteristic rigidity of the
body when the sufferer is walking and
Of the face muscles when talking.
An unusual series illustrates the eff
feet of ber-beri on the natives of
BorneO
Moving pictures also have their use
in solving problems Of agriculture and
public health. The dealers in films an
nOunce that by a process which they
describe as micro-kinematOgraphy they
can show the typhoid bacilli magnified
$50 diameters in all stages of growth
and movement Similarly the circula
tion Of blood in the web of frogs foot
is shown and the movement of the
chlorophyl or green coloring bodies in
the leaf
The possibility Of teaching geography
In this way is easily understood and
the motion pictures camera has invaded
most parts Of the civilized world. Even
the religious field Is not neglected and
the attention of Sunday schools and
missionary societies is called to such
subjects as open air Bible class in
India" conducted by native evangelists
or "Outcasts Of India; Procession OF
men, women and children who have
embraced the Christian religion"
Zoology offers n list Of subjects that
ought to charm any child into forget
ting that he Is learning. The subjects
range from polar bear fishing to camels
crossing the desert. Very many Of these |
pictures have been made I'm the famous
wild animal park OF Carl Hagenbeck |
near Hamburg.

feet is devoted to the one subject of |

New National.

Ethel Barrymore recorded personal
triumph last night at the New National
in d slender play. Her Sister," of which
the plot appeared to be from the pen Of
Cosmo Gordon Lennox, with Clyde Fitch
responsible for the repartee, double en-
tendres and a misanthropic view of
women. Although the play is by no means
worthy of the excellent company which
presents 1t. yet. it offers to Miss Barry
more an opportunity to demonstrate that
she has developed considerably in act
ing. and is likely to come into her full
artistic inheritance from her player for
bears. A former difficulty In managing
her breathing In long speeches has dis
appeared. and certain mannerisms, which,
though of an attractive girlishness were
nevertheless not Art with big A. have
been put under control. Thanks to the
efforts of Miss Barrymore and those who
supplemented her work with consummate
skill. the action of the play moved smooth
ly in spite of interminable discussions
and debates which would delight those
who love to distinguish and divide a
hair 'twixt north and northeast side :"
The plot is the story of a girl-about to
make a good marriage-who decides to
sacrifice herself to shield the reputation
of an indiscreet sister, also about to be
married. The first act enables Miss Barry

The venerable play recalled the days of
Lucille Western, who many years ago won

in the present production by Dorothy
Marke, whose effective Interpretation of
the character of the Jealous and Uisled
wife caused much weeping among the
women in the audience. George W. Scott,
as Sir Francis Levison. made a smooth
villain. while Jack Rose represented the
manly and injured husband. Archibald

Belasco.

The presenta tion of Marta of the Low
lands" by Bertha Kalich last evening at
the Belasco made applicable the great re-
noWn OF the play in Spain and in Spanish
speaking countries. 1t is not possible to
believe that this masterpiece of Angel
Guimeras loses in translation, SO simple
and direct is the language and so poetic
the atmosphere of the entire drama
There Is. moreover. SO compelling a real
Ism in the management of the story that
subordinates as we'll as principals seem
dominated by the elemental nature of
the life and contrive a picture of won
derful truth. There is with the possible
exception of some Of the comedy no line
or situation in the play that is conven-
tional or trite. 1t is not that the essential
motive is original. but that its apprecia-
ton or setting to life in Catalonia low
lands near the Pyrenees Is done with the
sincerity of a master painter of genre
and the effect Is as though tourists wan
dering from the beaten roads had hap
pened upon an awful moment in the life
of a remote hamlet. ...-.
The story OF the master who owns the
lowlands and the hills about. the sheep
and game and fish. the birds of the air
and the people of the fields. who abuses
his authority to take to himself simple.
innocent beggar girl. and when necessity
forces him to make an alliance in his
own station for money. to force a union
between the girl and one of his mountain
goatherds. is almost as direct as folk
lore or fable. That the primitive passion
of victim and the dupe awaken is to be
expected. That their revenge. brought
home to the master. should be tiercely
primitive. is also natural. The telling of
this human story. always recurring and
always new. like the appeal of an old
ballad. grips with the force of eternal
emotions.
Nine Kalich. with opportunity to make
the common appeal of beauty, never per-
mits herself a gesture. or expression, OF
touch of costume that could disturb the
single appeal of Marta's tragic condition.
Curiously enough. however, she manages
to infuse such f1amelike intensity through
all her moods that the impression of the
play is not one of gloom, but rather of
painful but happy growth. ending in the
overthrow of all evil. and an emancipa-
ton for love and goodness. Silence,
laughter, tears. rage. hysteria are each
presented with such verify that one for
gets to think of subtle contrasts and
subtler standings. and is lost in the i'm
preston Of reality.
The Manelich of Henry Koker is a fit
ting accompaniment to Nine. kalicn's
Marta. The happy animal righteousness
of his pursuit Of his love is as impulsive
and natural as one of his own mountain
torrents. and the ferocity Of his revenge
seems to have been learned in his unfair
nished highlands from the wolves with

alive effect is a poetic triumph for the
