Popular Lecture.
Pictures Taken at Pasteur Institute
and Brought to This Country to
illustrate Doctor Lees Ad-
dress on Medicine.

New York-Weird objects wriggled
over the moving picture screen at the
American Museum of Natural History
a few nights ago, when DR.. Frederic
S. Lee, professor of physiology in Co
lumbia, showed his audiences how the
germs of the sleeping sickness thrive
amid the blood corpuscles. He also
had pictures showing how the move
ment OF a rabbits heart is studied, and
a series illustrating how scientists In
oculated monkeys with fever germs In
order to study the disease, very sim
liar process to the one which resulted
in the recent discovery of meningitis
serum, he said. The last picture
showed the simians restored to health
and mischief. The pictures were TAX
en- at the Pasteur Institute and
brought to this country to Illustrate
Doctor Lees address, which was the
last of the Jesup lectures on scientific
features of modern medicine, under
the auspices of Columbia university.
Pictures of the germs working
among the blood corpuscles. and, APP
parently, feeding on them, were re-
ceived with establishment by the audi
ence.
In speaking of his animal pictures,
Doctor Lee, who is leader in con-
futing the antivivisectionists, made
tempered remarks concerning them.
I'm view of the great extension of

of the past half century," said he, 1T
is, perhaps, not surprising that opposi
ton to the use Of animals for scientific
purposes is holly maintained by few
individuals. This opposition some
times wilfully denies the value OF ami
NAL experimentation in scientific ad
vances; it sometimes assumes the ex-
IRENE and officially indefensible atti-
tude of denying the right of man to
use animals at all as experimental OBJ
jects, and 1t has as its practical aim
the establishment of legal restrictions
against the practice. These vary in
degree from slight limitations to total
prohibition.
THE antivivisectionist view is
psychologically of great interest. 1t
rests on low intellectual. and ethical
level and exhibits in an elemental sim
plicity the qualities and power of emo
ton. Its abnormal sympathy for ami
mails blinds its possessor to a normal
sympathy for human beings 1t as

such cruelty 1t either recstes for the

Again in 1854. at Baltimore, they
said:

Las. Day for Taxes.

A landoffice business was done at
the office Of the county treasurer
last Tuesday, the occasion being the
last day for the payment Of the first
half Of the taxes, due for the year
1910, without the interest penalty.
The total receipts for the day were
33O,7H95, and would have been very
close to $4,000, providing the Santa
Fe had paid its first half as 1t
usually does on the last day. The
receipts for the month OF February az
gregated a total of $14i,15l.sS. or
about $50, 900 more than for the
same month OF the pyevious year
The cash received on February 10th
amounted TO 2l.35i.3s. which was
the largest amount for any day ex.
cept the last day. The total re-
ceipts for the month of January were
$i7 ,s72.04, and the total receipts for
the year up TO March LIST were $l92,-
02392. The total tax to be collected
this year is 1926. .506,7l.
The total tax Of the Santa Fe to
be collected this year is &35,56l.46.
and the first half, due before March
lst, is $l7.7s0.73. Agent II. w. Mey-
ers, acting under Instructions from
w. X. Freeman, tax agent of the
Santa Fe. made tender last Tues
day, In the form Of draft. OF $I6.-
0o3.39. or $.777.3s less than the
amount which the tax roll called for.
Mr.. Dawley refused to accept the
tender. but instead of tax receipt
generously offered to give Agent Mel.
ers his note for the amount. due In
flee on the note for security. Mr..
Meyers, likewise. could not see his
way clear TO accept the tender, and
that was the end of IL.
A few days ago Mr.. Dawley receiv.
ed a letter from W. X. Freeman. tax
agent OF the Santa Fe. which stated
that for certain reasons deemed
good aud sufficient the Santa Fe
had decided not to accept the as
sessment made by the state board
OF equalization. but instead will fix
the amount themselves they thought
Otero county was entitled TO. and he
hoped Mr.. Dawley would decide to
accept the amount offered. even
though 1t was t.777.2s short OF the
amount on the tax roll, because the
county probably needed the money.
Mr.. Dawley replied that there was
nothing doing. and that the only
tender he would accept would be the
full amount on the tax roll AS fixed
by the state board Of equalization.
The interest penalty ON the Santa
Fee tax amounts 10 s. per day, and
Mr.. Dawley thought that this amount
would be sufficient TO pay the inter.
est on any registered warrants that
might have to be issued Lecause OF
the failure Of the Santa Fe to come
across. Otero county Is In pretty
good shape financially and the failure
OF the railroad company TO pay up
will not worry the county near as
much as the IS = day interest penal.
