Uses Of the Kinematograph.

strated It's! usefulness 10 the science
OF medicine in more ways than one
DR.. W. G. Chase OF Edinburgh used Il
TO procure films Illustrating the con.
vulsIons accompanying an epileptic
ct. The thoroughness with which the
subject has been pursued may be
judged from the statement that the
films exhibiting epileptic seizures
measure 1850 feet and contain nearly
$4,000 minute pictures Of attitudes
assumed during tie commissions The
value Of such records lies mainly In
using them 10 instruct medical stu

used extensively In the future 10

HOW WE GROW.

Some idea d, the wonderful growth
OF commerce and traffic In this coun-
try may be CLEANED from a carefully
prepared article in q recent number OF
the Manufacturers Record. An ex.
cerpt places 1t before the public in
figures. and tiose figures are rich m
Inspiration. The writer points out
That, with 5ls per cent. OF the worlds
population. we have 40 per cent. OF
the worlds railroad mileage; and our
traffic Is growing 50 rapidly that we
need 10 double our entire railroad Va
cillties within the next ten or III!
teen years. Our population increases
al the rate Of about 2 per cent. q
year.
On the present bssis OF $1,000, 1000
this would give us 1I,OOO.OOO to 49,.
100000 more people in the next ten
years and something over 100000 in
the following decade. This will give
US over 125.OOO,OOO by 1890 and 15O,.
100000 people in 1910. In thirty years
our population will be about 20 per
cent. larger than It Is to-day. but by
virtue Of Tie increasing power Of
transportation on land and seq, the
use OF the telephone and telegraph
which are among the greatest agents
that ever CAME into existence for nc.
celebrating business and adding TO
mans productive capaclty-the 20 per
cent. Of increase in population will
have q fair greater Potentially than
the total population Of today.

the aggregate ten factories employing
the 800 men as was promised 55G the
steel mill. There are many reasons
why this would be easier to accom-
plish and many reasons why ltsxouldts
be better for Failmont after IL vas
accomplished, than giving Ia large
bonus TO one concern. In The fflrsts

different product would advertise the
town ten times as much as "a factory

SENTENCES ACCUMULATED
 ON CRANDAlL SNEAK THIEF
lie Gets 150 Days On Top of An Un-
 served Twenty Days.

J. w. Crandall. a hobo and persis- tent sneakthief. was tried before Jus tice Johnstone yesterday on the charge of lifting a pair of women's hose from the general store of F.. Romley. on South Ninth street, the afternoon be- fore
 Though he was caught in the act and pursued by the proprietor. who. with the aiu of man in a buggy. overlook him, Crandall denied unes- sential features of the charge against him. For instance. he did not enter the store with the intention of steal ing anything. but to buy something to eat There happened to be no one in sight. and he picked up the hose Just then he heard an opening door and he hurried out He ran at first and then he walked. he admitted rather rapidly.
 Romley said that when he appeared on the scene. the thief was trying to get into the cash drawer That was denied by Crandall. who said that he had no time to plan such an ex- ploration, however desirable it might have been.
 It was also brought out that when Officer Troutman, who had been sent for after the capture of Crandall. saw him he thought he was looking at his ghost. Crandall, he was sure, was in the county jail. and that his engage ment there would detain him for near ly month.
 Crandall explained to him that, having only five days more to serve. he had left without informing the authorities. He had been employed on outside work and had walked away" That was his description of his departure. and after that when reference was made to his escape" he always offered a corrections: He had not "escaped'; he had walked away.
 After the evidence for the territory was in CrandalI made a statement, in the course of which he asked for len iency. The court reminded him that he had been before it twice within the last thirty days for Tetty theiving and he added: Tt has been your good luck that you have, escaped" Here, Crandall thinking that the court had reference to his departure from the county jail, broke in: Your honor, I only walked away"
 The court, unmindful of the inter- ruption: Escaped arrest for a more serious crime, for you would have committed d felony if you had not been interrupted while you were try ing to break into the cash drawer
 The justice had ascertained that Crandall still had twenty days of his original sentence to serve. He fixed his punishment for this pffense at 150 days. the sentence to date from the expiration of the original one.

THE SAN|IAR|UM
 FOR CONSERVATIVES
Associated Charities and Supervisors
 Talk the Matter Over Further.

The board Of supervisors yesterday devoted the day to the consideration of petitions for various objects. A committee from the Associated Chari- ties was before the board in relation to the project for the establishment of a hospital or sanitarium for con- sumptives east of the city. The pro- posed location is on the .high and broken ground east of the Half-Way house This ground can not be used for any other beneficial purpose, as t is not subject to reclamation On account of the absence of irrigation thereabouts. the site is admirable for the purpose proposed.
 This matter has been under dis cussion for several months, and though little advancement was made yesterday. it is regarded as certain that the county and the Associated Charities ultimately will unite in the building and equipment of the sani- tarium, which will. of course, be in- tended .only for indigent patients.
 There were several applications be- fore the board for road improvement. It was thought that the application of the Avondale company for a right of way for a transmission line from Five Points to the Agua F'ria would come up, but it was not reached in the course of the day.
 The report of c. T. Willis. a spe- cial expert who has gone over the accounts of the officials. was accept ed. The report had been submitted the day before. Mir. Willis had dis covered that the board had apparently exceeded it's authority in granting a franchise for a telephone line in the western part of the county. The rec ords show that the franchise was given for fifty years. when twenty five is the limit It is believed that this showing is the result of a cler- ical error. however. The damage is not irreparable. since no construction has yet been undertaken under the franchise.

PONDEROUS LEMONS


 singer has harvested his 1909 crop of seven lemons. three of which he has placed on exhibition at the board of trade room. Mir. HOlsinger's orchard consists of a two-year- tree of the "Ponderosa" variety, that is growing on his lot at No. 2220 West Adams street. and which, by the way. is do- ing nicely. even if it is not in the citrus belt. The tree was six inches high when planted in the spring of 1907. and it is now seven feet and six inches. \ crop of seven lemons is pretty good for a twO-year- old. when the size of the fruit is con- sidered. for each lemon is as large as half a dozen of the ordinary size. Without congregation. they are as large as an ordinary grapefruit, and one that has been cut is said to be very juicy.
