Az TIIE ARCAnIA.

The Arcadia has a new feature to
offer beginning today. II Is "The
Great Redeemer" to which has
been assigned three-day run.
II is the combination OF director,
story and whole cast that makes il
such splendid entertainment. The
direction was left to the inclinations
OF Maurice Tourneur. He has sue
ceeded as always in producing a
vehicle creditable to his name and
a decided asset to the screen. The
story for ''The Great Redeemer"
comes from the pen OF no less a
genius than H. II. Van Loan. His
work as author OF "The Virgin Of
stambour' will be sufficient evidence
of his ability to the people Of Will
mington. His best vein Of express
sion is in the concoction OF adven-
ture stories Of which "The Great
Redeemer" is a splendid example.
The cast found in Arcadia's picture
is headed by House Peters and Mar
jorie Daw. Mr. Peters is a splendid
selection for the hero. Dan Malloy.
He is a physical giant and well suits
for the portrayal OF this Western
gunman. His last Wilmington ap-
pearance was in Lying Lips" Mar
jorie Daw is one Of the most clever
ingenue actresses on the screen.
The organist at the Arcadia has
arranged a special musical accom-
paniment TO go with "The Great

ONE FEATLICHTNIVG
CAN'T Perform

The files OF scientific journals arc
full Of well-authenticated records of
the odd things that are occasionally
done by lightning. Popular writer's
have given wide currency to these
stories, and thus it happens that the
public mind is prepared to accept,
along with them, a certain number
Of tales that will not stand the test
Of scientific investigation.
Probably everybody is familiar
with the statement that the body Of
a person who has been struck by
lightning is often found to be i'm
pressed with a Photographic image
of a tree or some other object in the
vicinity Of the place where. the 'ac-
cident occurred.
Not a year goes by in which such
cases are not reported in the news
papers. The statement is usually
made in good faith. 1t may even
happen that the attendant physician
is responsible for it,
The truth underlying these stories
is that lightning-s frequently
produces on the body of the victim
ramifying pink marks, which usu-
ally disappear in n day or two. These
marks are known to science as
lightning prints A specimen is
shown in the accompanying draw
ing from the well-known British
medical journal. The Lancet; and if
the reader happens to have access to
large medical library he will
probably find therein S. Jelinels' s
ATLAS der Elektropathologie," which
contains some beautiful colored
plates of lightning-prints.
1t does not require a great deal of
imagination to see in the curious
tracery of a lightning-pr the
image of a tree, leaf. or what-not.
Once starting with the widely
prevalent idea that the ability of
lightning to photograph objects upon
the skin is an accepted scientific
fact, it is easy, in any particular case,
to identify the marks with individ-
ual details of the landscape.
1t so happens, however, that sci
ence has found a different explana-
tion of these marks. At one time, it
was believed that they represented
the ramifications of the underlying
blood vessels, visible on account of
being stronly injected with blood by
the passage of the electric spark.
This hypothesis was disproved
when Rindfleisch dissected the body
of a man killed by lightning and
found that the branching prints did
not coincide in the least with the
position and direction of the blood
