COLONIAL THEATRE.
%The Lure," Magnificent Five Reel
 Shubert Metropolitan Feature.

The second mammoth rnultiple-reel feature of the week at the Colonial theatre is the attraction today pre- sented by the wonderful A. Shubert all-star cast under the title of '4The Lure" This film has been a wonder full dramatic success in all of the larg- CT cities of the United States, but be- cause of the marvellous opportunities offered by nature in the way of natural backgrounds and surroundings, the film becomes at once a more delightful presentation. Featuring Claire Whit ney. the ciever little blonde woman of the big Shuberr cast, the story tells of a pretty little shop girl who, because she iY unable to earn wages sufficient to rrorerly care for her invalid mother, accepts the offer of one of her fashion able patrons, to do light work in odd hours at the home of this same hand some woman. Once in the house she is trapped, and held prisoner. A dashing young detective while in search of another young girl similarly trapped discovers Sylvia and is mortified until told of the trick. The wonderful scenes in the house are thrilling indeed and because of the exceedingly careful handling the whole play becomes at once a striking warning to young people, and a revelation to the older ones. An exceptionally strong sup port Is given Miss Whitney in the I1lra, and the assessories in the studio set tings are beautiful in the extreme. Met.nee 10 cents, children 5 cents, evenings 10 cents.

Poisoned by Mercury,

A scientific investigator of Europe has discovered a new method of des- 6oying fungus disease and household pests by the use of mercury. In en- closed spaces the mercury is employed In the form of vapor. In other cases 1t is injected in metallic form directly Into the circulating fluids of the plant. The growth of the plant Is not only not disturbed. but is in most cases actually assisted. When a tree is treated the process is a follows: With stout three -milimeter auger holes are bored in the lower branches from five to seven-in an oblique di- rection and passing through the pith. These holes are then filled with mer- cury by means of an ordinary drop per" after which they are made air tight with tree-wax" or some similar substances. From two to seven grammes of mercury are required for an inoculation. The effect is quickly observable and continues for a year or more.-Exchange

POETRY
THE HEROES.

In that EalhalIa where the her.o- go A careful sentinel paced to anG .-o Before the gatgi burned 6ia-s r:tt Whose echoes, to the tread of armed And up the fiery stairs whose steps Came the pale heroes of the blood
 stained years. There were lean Caesars from the glory With heart that only to a sword thrust
 yields;
 And there were generals declzed in Red scabbard swinging from tho weary And slender youths, who were the sons
 of kings,
 And barons with their sixteen quarter And while the nObles went with The courteous sentinel questioned:
 Who goes there?' And as each came. full lustiIy he cried His string of titles, ere he passed in And presently there was little man, A silent mover in the regal van. His hand still grasped bis rife. and his Seemed blinded with the light from His was a humble guise, a modest air The sentinel held him sharply: Who
 goes theref"
 There were no gauds tackled to that But every naked blade leaped out like And every blue blood warrior bowed q am a Belgian" this was all he said Mems cheering echoed through the
 battles hell;

SSisnce Notes.

England's ancient dew ponds" have their modern counterpartS on the rock of Gibraltar where drinking water is obtained by the condensation of the abundant dew In especially prepared basins The primitive process consists in making a hollow in the ground and filling the bottom with dry straw, over which is placed a layer of clay. On a clear night the clay cools very rapidly and the dew is condensed into water in the basin. The pond is improved by putting a layer of asphalt or Portland the present practice is to use wood in- stead of straw and sheet iron instead of clay.
 In an unsuccessful effort to find water for the town boring to a depth of 4,4S9 feet was recently carried out at Spur, Tex. This boring gives in formation concerning the Straitigraphy of the region. There are three well marked divisions. From the surface down to depth of 1,25o feet are found red sands, clays, marls, beds of gyp- sum- anhydrite and salt, including three beds of pure salt, ten, five and nine feet in thickness. The next 2,S5O feet consist of dolomite, with strata of anhydrite, sandstone and shale. The lowest 3S9 feet are limestone and shale.
 Among the rare specimens not open to public inspection in the Harvard geological museum is what is asserted to be the largest frog in the world. It weighs about six pounds, is twenty seven inches long from tip to toe and of a slaty black color. Its web feet are equal in size to those of a large swan. Only three of it's kind have ever reached the United States.

NORWICH TOWN
Memorial Service for Mrs. Thomas J.. Wattles at First Congregational Church-Meeting for Study-Generai News,

There was a memorial service for Mrs. T. J. Wattles with a large attend ance at the First CongT Tegat1onal chapel Wednesday afternoon. At this service there were sincere expressions from hearts full of appreciation of all that Mrs. Wattles has been in her church relations, in the Lathrop Me morial and Home Missionary societies. As one after another told of all her life had meant to them, of neighborly thoughtfulness in times of sorrow and trouble, of her ever making others happier, of appreciation of visits to elderly people and friends of many years, of how much the people at her summer home on Fishers Island thought of her, and of her interest in them and in their church, of thankful ness for the record of such life, it was a simple, spontaneous tribute such as few lives have inspired, for all her giving was doubly precious because with 1t she gave herself.
 Fittingly it can be said of her, as was told of another, "Her life was Christianity" and fttingly can the same prayer again be offered: We be- seech thee, o God, to answer her pray CTS for us." The service closed with singing For All the Saints Who from Their Labors Rest.

Meet for Study.

The meeting for study of The Child at Worship. the fifth chapter of The Child in the Midst. was held Wednes- day afternoon at the First Congrega- tional chapel under the leadership of Miss Susan c. Hyde. During the opening exercises Sherwood Eddy's wonderful work in China was referred to, and a letter was read describing the progress of the accumulation of the golden anniversary gift for buildings at the mission stations.
 The discussion upon the fifth chap ter in the text book brought out the fact that cruelties in child worship of God were still taught and practiced in the orient. Miss Hyde told of these customs prevailing when she was liv- ing in Adibazar. There was much in terest shown when the fact was stated that owing to the undue pressure of studies in our higher schools pupils in this country could not always attend the church services. At the Free Academy towards the close of the week longer and more difficult lessons are given so that sometimes the hours of Sabbath rest are taken for weekday work.
