Experiments to Show If II Can 30 Re-
VeaIed by Moving Pictures.
Or. Henry Lehman Of Philadelphia,
inventor, chemist and physician, has
become interested in moving pictures
and now is experimenting In bis lab
oratory to get a series of pictures Of n
growing plant covering a period Of
seven days. which, when thrown on
the screen by the moving picture ma
chine, will show the development Of
the plant from a bud until 1t is full
grown. BY reversing his string Of
pictures n fantastic picture of n full
grown plant shriveling into a small
bud Is made.
In his experiments DIR. Lehman Is
trying to produce a picture of the
workings of nature too slow for the
human eye to catch. For this he is
using the pictures of growing plant.
The other thing that DR.. Lehman 10
working for Is to get individual pic
lures of the workings of nature too
rapid for the human eye to catch.
For instance, in watching an explosion
the eye gets composite picture of
smoke and air filed with flying debris.
With his moving picture camera, which
takes pictures at the rate Of twelve in
one second, DR.. Lehman is able to get
the development of the explosion from
the first little puff of smoke until the
gases causing the trouble explode. By
running these pictures in his machine
at the usual rate Of speed the COM
poslte picture that the eye sees Is
shown. BY running bis film slowly
through the machine each step in the
explosion. too rapid for the naked eye,
Is seen.

Weather Sharp on Effect Of Western
5reezos on Our "indomitabIe Spirit"
Professor Willis l.. Moore, chief of
the weather burCnu at Washington, In
a recent interview said:
ut is we'll known to mcteorologists
that eastcrly winds either hug closely
to the earth or have an upward COM
ponent of motion They therefore gath
or the humidity. dust, disease and 9th
er bacteria, and, az rule, they are
warm and humid. All Of these Condi-
tons make them foul winds, under
which animal life Is enervated and rem
dered susceptible to the germs which
the winds themselves carry and dis
seminate.
THE converse is true of the north
west winds. They come from above,
with a downward component Of mo-
ton that bears definite relation to
the velocity. They come from the re-
gion where tho air Is dry, pure and
highly electrified and where ozone ex-
lists in comparatively large quantities.

II believe that In some cases per-

for instance, person doomed to die
from cancer and suffering torture. In
that case | think there would be no

disposing Of himself before an ignoble
death.

PAINLESS ANIMAL TRAINING.
Paris Geological Psychologists Start
New Circus Seminary.

Paris Geological Psychologists Start a
New Circus Seminary.
Paris will soon own wild animal
training institute which will lend add
tional significance to the showman's
claim that 1t is "all done by kindness"
1t Is the outcome of a project formed
by the Society For Geological PsychoI-
ogy, body which receives a subsidy
from the state.
Psychical persuasion, as 1t is called.
without corporal punishment Is the
sole method that will be followed. Ex-
actly how 1t is to be applied is as yet
the secret of the trainers. The staff
will include learned biologists as well
as a selected number of animal tanners
who have had practical experience in
circuses and menageries.
Those who aspire to professional
career in this direction may receive
their tuition at the institute In Paris.
The first lot Of animals to undergo the
treatment comprises lions, tigers, ieop-
ards, hyenas and bears. These will be
transported from the geological gar
dens to the new institute, which is To-
Gated In an adjoining building.

DOES SHE LOVE your
Take Her to tho "Phthymoaraph" and
Find Out


Here Is Il "tip' that ought to send
thrills of joy to the heart Of the bash
full man who hasn't been able to muster
up courage enough to pop the ques-
ton" and Who has been hoping fondly
for another leap year to roll around.
Just take the girl on an unsuspect-
ing visit to the laboratory of the psy.
Geological clinic of the University of
Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, which
Is directed by DIR. Lightner Wilmer,
head of the department Of psychology.
Then have her place her hand daintily
In machine which you will notice Is
labeled 'phthymograph" or 'phyg-
mograph" and step into an adjoining
room to await Developments.
While her hand rests easily in the
machine some one whispers to her
your name-George, Reginald or what
ever It is--and you keep your eye on
the indicator. The machine will do
the rest.
What the machine really does is to
register on n piece of paper distinct
line, which designates with precise cor
rectness the force Of the emotions the
mention Of your name to the girl has
caused her to experience.
If the line sinks despairingly down
ward toward the bottom Of the paper
take 1t from the machine that your
stock Is rather low. II, however, and
this is important, the line fairly leaps
and bobs toward the top Of the paper
it's up to you to rush into the room
where the girl is seated, and But,
well, you'll know what to do.

rHE MEAT TRUST.


As meat has reached the price where
Il may Be esteemed luxury which the
rich alone could enjoy, there IS in pro
gress a @n1at strike ii several large
cities Of these United States.
The high price of meat can not be
ascribed e any scarcity Of beef, sheep
on hogs, but Is due directly to combina-
tons By capitalists who care not whit
whether the poor man has meat. The
Meat Trust is organized and maintained
for the sole and only purpose Of com
pelling people who want meat to pay the
price fixed BY the trust.
Fortunately Shreveport is not in the
grasp Of the Meat Trust. but the price
Of meat is certainly sufficiently high, SO
high that only the select can afford to
pay the price for tenaerloin. AS fact,
while everybody wants a tenderloin
steak. The tenderloin Is not much larger
than the size Of hand, must be limited

number-seYen steak may be made ap.
pctizing, indeed luxurious, when given
the treatment It deserves. There are
other parts nfthe beef 70 which the
es clnrrky Is applied, which may be
done TO d relish.
IN Northern cities the strike against
meat Il 10 be conducted with system
ATTIC deliberation. but such d policy is Of
doubtful result. 1t least when viewed
from the side Of the Beef Trust. While
