NOW WOUNDS CAUSE A
HOH RISE OF TEMPER

AZURE IN PLANT Family
1t. appears from some expert
: ments made In washington that
when plants are wounded their
respiration increases and at the
same time their temperature per-
ceptiblyt rises as If a kind of
fever had been produced by the 5
wound. 81 "A
A thermoelectric apparatus
capable of registering change
of one four-hundredth Of q de-,
gree was employed. When a po-
tato was wounded the fever +.
manifested itself by an eleya-
tlon of temperature which was \,
greatest at the end of "a hours, \
when 1t began slowly to decline. K
An onion similarly treated ac-s,
CURED an increase Of temporal
ture many times greater than
that shown by the potato, and
the fever instead of being con-
fined to the neighborhood of the
wound affected the whole onion.
In fact. the onion proved to be
more readily affected In this way
than any other vegetable expert
mented with.
The rise of temperature is
caused by increased absorption
of oxygen.

Germany all her dangerous weapons

MOVIES UNDER FORTY.
California Photographer Began Ex.
per rnents in instantaneous Pho
Biography in l872-Edison's
Contributions.

New York Times: Forty years
ago there were no moving pictures,
nor anything suggestive of them.
In about 1872 Eardweard Muy-
bridge, California photographer,
began experiments in instantaneous
photography, with the idea of taking
still pictures of animals in motion.
He did not dream of moving pic
| lures, his purpose being to record
through the camera the different po-
sitions of a running horse so that
they might be studied. His interest
was scientific and his work appealed
to scientific men. The University
of Pennsylvania provided him with
funds said to have amounted to
$4,000, and he spent number o
years developing his idea.
Maurice Tourneur thus describes
in Variety how the California pho
tographer achieved his first practi-
cal results.
"Muyzridge built a shed which
was painted black and was l20 feet
long. Opposite the shed he con-
structed camera house with "a
cameras, each having a lens three
inches in diameter. In front of
these cameras horse galloped. The
black shed was the background. The
cameras, operated first by strings
which were broken by the horses
progress, caught successive expo
sureS. Later motor operated the
cameras, Thus a series of success
i've movement pictures was OBJ
tanned. Later the work was taken
up by M. Marcy of Paris, who util-
lied sensitized firm and was able
to use single camera"
1t is said that Muybridge made
his first successful pictures on May,
Is, 1873, at the Leland Stanford
race track at Oakland, Cal, which
would make moving pictures forty
years old last Saturday. NJ. Tour
neur, worthy successor OF the in
ventor in the development of the
photography of motion, has suggest
ed that something be done to honor
his memory, and it is probable that
definite plan will be launched be-
fore long.
But, although Muybridge carried
his work to the point of exhibiting
pictures of animals, birds and men
in action on the screen as early as
1880 and contributed one of the big
new things to the Chicago Exposi-
ton in 1893, his invention was not
made commercially practicable un-
til the Rev. Hannibal Goodwin of
the House of Prayer in Newark,
about 1887, produced film flexible
and strong enough to run from
reel. The minister's work made the
modern moving picture possible.
Thomas A. Edison, the Eastman
Kodak Company, Lumiere, and
many others made important contri-
buttons from time TO time to the de-
velopment OF moving pictures, per-
haps the most notable OF them be-
ing the kinetoscope brought out by |

ARE YOU ACQUAINTED
WITH COURTESIES DUE
u. S. NATIONAL EMBLEM

Topeka, Kan, July 6.-Are you
fully acquainted with the courte-
sizes due the national anthem and
the national emblem?
Military officers in Topeka say
they are besieged with all sorts OF
queries as to what these courtesies
consists. +. d. Humphreys, ser
geant major, North Battalion, Kan
sas State Guards. Topeka lawyer,
has compiled list OF these signs
of respect, especially for the perusal
of the embryo soldiers, but con-
tanning those pertaining to civilians
also. They are:
"On all occasions, when the Star
Spangled Banner is played in pub
lie, all soldiers, whether officers or
enlisted men, will, il in uniform,
and not in formation, come to at
tention, facing the music, and salute
at the first note Of the anthem and
remain at salute until the last note
of the anthem is played. If in
formation, the officer or non-com-
miSsioned officer in command OF
the unit will call his unit TO atten-
ton and the officer will render the
salute for the unit, the unit re
naming at attention during the
salute by the officer.
Civilians and soldiers i'll civilian
clothes, will, if seated, stand up;
il covered, will uncover at the first
note OF the anthem, holding the hat
opposite the left shoulder until the
last note OF the anthem has been
played. Except in inclement wealth
er it is permissible to stand with
the hat held slightly raised
when passing within six PAGES
OF the national flag all soldiers will
render the military salute. All
civilians should uncover until the
flag has passed or they have passed
the flag.
"The same respect and courtesy
that is paid to our own national an
them should be shown to those Of
our allies.
There is no fast rule requiring
one to uncover when America is
being played, yet it is fitting that
one pay America the same respect
as to the national anthem. When
played by military band the Star
Spangled Banner should be played
through without repetition and
never in a medley"
