THE MOVIES" IN SCIENCE
Show Every petaii of Processes Too
 Rapid for the Eye To See.

The extension of the art of moving pictures from the f1ld of amusement to that of scientific observations is be- coming reality. Several years ago says Cassier,s Magazine, 1t was noted that the possibilities of continuous tography indicated method of inyes- ugating movements and operations which occurred too rapidly to be prop erly studied by the unaided eye.
 The microscope permits the exami- nation of things far too minute for study by ordinary vision; the telescope brings distant objects near; the micro phone magnifies feeble sounds: the stroboScope permits the study of rapid 1y revolving bodies and gives instant aneous g1impses of swiftly moving ob- jects.
 To these must now be added the practicability of using the moving ptc- ture film for parts in such manner as 1y at much slower speeds
 By running film, for example. at an extremely high speed before a piece of material under test at the moment of yield and then passing the same film much more slowly through the project ing lantern the successive phenomena. of rupture may be seen and studied at leisure, all details appearing in correct sequence at a rate slow enough to allow the eye to perceive them.
 :. Recently this method has been 11sf.d in connection with a glass cylinder to study the scavenging action in com bustion engines, and as the apparatus is perfected it is evident that there is here a most valuable instrument and method of scientific research.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR
 THE MINOR JUDGEsIIPs4
Legislative Committee on Judiciary
 Holds a Friday Hearing

Hartford, Conn, April 4.-The leStss lative committee on the judiciary 'thiA afternoon, working overtime without any additional compensation, took up the first batch of resolutions concern ing the appointment of minor court Judgeships on which there are con- tests. The number of such contesta on the face of the resolution list is rs- markedly large. This Is due to the fact that. the outlook for deadlock be- cause of the dividend political com= p1exion of the legislature added to the fact that democratic victory last fall convinced many democratic law yers that they were worthy of Judicial appointment, is remarkably bright.
 Unlike previous sessions the con= mittee has delayed the hearings on judgesh1ps. Heretofore it has taken the greater part of two months after the session began to get the reso1u- tions reported, even with few contests.
 Should there be deadlocks in con f1rmation the democrats pin their faith in the governors exercise of tho right to fill vacancies after the session ends.
 The committee called the Ansoniss Manchester, Enfield, Bridgeport and Waterbury resolutions. Except in one instance the lawyers and others who appeared in behalf of candidates un- sparingly used adjectfves and com- mandatory terms.

Washington, April 1.-The demo- cratic tariff revision bill is completed tonight, with the exception of a final decision upon the sugar tariff From oeglnn1ng to end it is a, measure mod eled in accord with the ideas of Pres ldent Wilson. with wool, meats and many other foodstuffs and clothing materials on the free list, with low duties upon all agricultural products and foodStuffS that are not free; and with the tariff on chemical. steel and other commercial products cut far be- low the present protective rates.
 Senate Leaders to Study Biii.
 The senate tariff leaders today asked Tor an opportunity to study the bill until Sunday afternoon. They will then confer with Chairman Underwood of the house committee on ways and means, and later will have a final conference with President Wilson. A careful analysis of the senate will be made in the meantime. to determine whether free wool "one cent sugar. and low rates on market basket pro- ducts, will prove acceptable to a ma Jor1ty of the democrats.
 Briefly summarized, the tariff devel- opments of the day were:
 UItin1atum to Sugar Interests.
 President Wilson's ultimatum to su- gar interests. that they must agree to q tariff of one cent per pound for three years, with free sugar after that time or he would attempt to secure free sugar at once.

WILL AWAIT REPORT.
Attitude of United States Has Not Yet
 Been Determined.


 Washington, April 4.-Of1cials at the state department today said the atti- tule of the United States in the case of Miss Zelie Emerson, the American militant suffragette, imprisoned in London. would be determined after the receipt of a further report from the London embassy, which was ordered to investigate charges that the young woman had been subjected to cruel treatment
 Secretary Bryan will immediately take up with Chandler Anderson. the counselor of the department the ques- ton of what is to be done. Practically ly upon it. the nearest being the May brick case. when some of the high est officials in the United States pe- titfoned the British government to re- lease the American woman from &lle prison where she was serving a life sentence. It was held by various sec retarieS, notably Blaine and Hay, that there was no warrant for a direct off, cfa1 request from the United States government for elenency in Mrs. May bricks case; so these presentations were unofficial. though made through made through the American embassy in London.
 Secretary Bryan wished first to es- taDlish the complete reg gu1arity of the judicial proceedings in the case of Miss Emerson, and if he follows the or dfnary course and aSceftains that there has been no discrimination against the woman on account of her nationality and that she has not been treated in 8 cruel and ir1i1uznan manner. forbid den by the principles of the law conn- mon to all nations. he likewise prob- ably will confine himself to the exer- else of his functions in an unofficial way to secure an anaeIforation of Miss Efnerson's condition.

day and sounded out other members oG the senate, to determine whether enough strength could be secured to fight the free sugar features of the plan. They had reached no decision tonight, however, as to the course they would take.
 Notwithstanding the sugar contro- verSy, events so shaped themselves today as to indicate that the house, ths senate and the president will come to a definite and final agreement upon tha tariff bill before Monday and that the measure will be presented to the house early next week as an Administration measure and with all tariff leaders be- hind 1t.
 Whole Matter in Presidents Handa
 The house tariff makers have left matters entirely In the hands of the president Members of the seuata finance committee today declared thera would be an ultimate agreement with the president over all contested points. It is understood that unless the sugar compromise is accepted by the senators from southern states, the finance com mittee probably will act on it's own initiative, and comply with Presi dent Wilson's desires.
 The situation fs unique in tarind history of recent years, Is expected to greatly shorten che time required foE the tariff 1oiH and to reduce to an Un- usual degree the congressional debate and amendment of tho measure. A preliminary agreement on the bill, ib is claimed. will result in the making of few changes by the senate when the bill reaches that body.
 Sugar Controversy May Delay Bill
 Because of delay in settling the sud gar schedule the committee may not be ready to introduce the bill on Mon day. Chairman Underwood assured the president that he could have all the time necessary to bring about an agreement with the senate leaders. If n Sha aSfr far he withheld until it is apparent that no. agreement can be reached. In this ease the democratic caucus also would bR delayed.

 FOREIGN FOLLOW
His Attitude Toward Mexico, China
 and Philippines.

Washington, April g. President Wilson indicated informally today what the attitude Of this government would be toward Mexico. China and the Philippines.
 Pending a settlement of affairs iu Mexico, the holding of elections and the establishment of a stable govern ment. recognition probably will be withheld.
