A NEW EXPERIMENT GROWING PLANTS AKE PHOTOGRAPHED EVERY HOUR. Agricultural Department Has a Picture Machine at Work In One of the Greenhouses at Washington. Views to Be Reproduced. Washington, July 3.—The agricultural department has pressed the moving picture machine into the service of science. The division of vegetable pathology now has a device of this sort in operation in one of its greenhouses. The machine works automatically, taking a picture each hour. At night an electric light is thrown into circuit as the exposure is made. The machine has been running about two week.-, and will b_- kept going about two weeks longer on its present subject. When the series of pictures is completed it will be possible to reproduce with the stereopticon the growth of the plant from the time the first shoot appeared above ground till the tree is in full leaf and a foot or more high. While the oak tree pictures are purely experimental t> develop the capacity of the machine, it is intended to use the serial photographs in watching the progress of plant diseases, blights, insect parasites and the like. The department hopes in the near future to be able to loan to the agricultural colleges an 1 experiment stations rolls of lantern slides film to illustrate certain of the department’s bulletins on these subjects.

“ e It is pointed out that s lecturer before a class of students could show in live minutes the growth and seed distribution of any noxious plant, such as the Canadian thistle, or the life history of an insect pest so that it could be readily recomiized and combatted on its first appearance in a region, even though the workers there hail never seen it in actual life. In addition to the straight photographic work expected of the new mai chine its designer intends to adopt it to use with the X-ray so as to take pictures of certain objects that otherwise would be invisible. It is thought by the deportment that a series of pictures of this sort taken during the period of gestation would be of value to stock raisers and might be adapted to the use of the medical profession in certain lines of research. SPEAKS VERY UTILE Dreyfus Seems to Have Suffered Partial Paralysis of the Tongue. Rennes, France, July 3.—Mme. Drey-

It seems that in the train one of the officers begun to read a newspaper. but although Dreyfus had not seen a paper since he left France, he did not display the slightest interest. He speaks very little and seems to suffer a partial paralysis of speech owing to his long silence. Even on board the Sfax he had to communicate with the officers by writing. He is credited on good authority with the following: “My condemnation and sentence were the symbol of anti-Jewish odium. My jud, jes were involuntarily deceived. May my undeserved expatriation put an end to all racial or religious feuds in the army and in that of France, which I have pasjionatelv .oved and served.” Prisoner's Arrival. Rennes. France. July I.— Captain Dreyfus amrei here at 5 o'clock this morning. Captain Dreyfus landed at Quiboron and was conveyed by tram t Bruz. 12 kilometers from Rennes.

Ten of the gendarmes entered a wagon and fallowed the carriage. The rest fallowed on foot. The party arrived at the prison without incident. A large crowd assembled and witnessed the arrival in silence and without mamrestanon. YELLOW JACK Fifteen New Cases Reported at Santiago—No Deaths.
