Dancing and Art.

1t may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form Of
art, or even that we allow it any place
among the fine arts. To many it may seem
kind OF sacrilege to combine in the same
category, however broad, such extremes as
a dancing savage and "A painting of the last
judgment, and If the connection must be
made some would choose to make it along
other lines than those of art. But in truth
the dance supplies us with the key, so to
speak, of the development of the fine arts
For light upon the problems of human cul-
ture we naturally appeal to the anthropolo-
gist
Dancing" says Tyler, may seem to us
modern frivolous amusement, but in the
infancy Of civilization it was full of pas
sionate and solemn meaning Savages and
barbarians dance their joy and sorrow, their
love and rage, even their magic and re-
ligion. The forest Indians of Brazil, whose
sluggish temper few other eXctements can
stir, rouse themselves at their moonlight
gatherings, when, rattle in hand. they
stamp in one-two-three round the great
earthen pot of Intoxicating kawl liquor, or
men and women dancing IA rude counting
dance, advancing in lines with kind of
primitive polka step, or the ferocious war
dance is performed by armed warriors in
paint, marching in ranks hither and thither
with growing chant terrible TO hear"
Tyler proceeds to describe the dance of
the Australians and the buffalo dance of
Mandan Indians, who, wearing masks to
mark their representations, with rude songs
and pantomimic gestures, enact their Incl
dents of an imaginary hunt. And then he
adds:
IAN this explains how in ancient re-
ligions dancing came to be one of the chief
acts of worship. Religious professions went
with song and dance in the Egyptian
temples, and Plato said that all dancing
ought to be thus an act of religion. Pop

The Japanese honey industry 10 also rep.
resented at the Worlds Fair by specimens oj

bees, honey beeswax and hives. The jan
anese agriculture bureau has published n
little pamphlet explaining the way OF using
the hive, the method OF collecting honey and
giving the names OF the plants from which
the bees get honey. II is there stated also
that one swarm will produce 1852 pounds
OF honey and 7497 pounds OF bceswax, and
that honey sells for nino sen (cents) n kin
1.325 pounds), and beeswax at thirty sen q
kin.
An interesting feature of the japanese ag-
ricultural section is the exhibit OF domestic
fowls. One coop contains some bantams,
which are kept mostly rs pets, though tho
flesh may be used as food. Another cago
contains Slamesc game fowl, whose flesh,
being almost rs delicious as that OF turkey
is largely used as fool. Tho cock exhibited
is about two years old, weighs almost ten
pounds and has never been defeated. A good
tighter will command from twenty to eighty
yen (dollars). The high coop holds long,
tailed fowls. The cock, four years old, has
a tail measuring 10Il feet in length. The
black cock, only two years old, has tail Ave
feet long.
The Japanese have likewise on exhibition
specimens OF their wild birds. both useful
and injurious, and of their forage plants.
They have published descriptive catalogues
OF both birds and plants. The former are
divided into three classes The beneficial

forage plants, similarly numbered, are
minutely described with reference to dura-
ton OF growth, height. Towering, seed
ripening and cutting times, produce to the
acre, composition and locality.
Last, but not least interesting, are five
pictures which hang in the southwest corner
OF the Japanese pavilion, and represent
methods OF hunting. One shows the way of
catching small birds by hanging cages of de-
coy birds near biri-limed twigs Another
represents sportsmen, in the early morning
or evening twilight, whom the wild ducks
ARE flying low, catching them in nets at the
end OF long bamboo poles. The two pictures
at the extremes portray the two allied
methods OF catching wild duck on Lake
Tega in Chiba prefecture One is by means
of bird-limed ropes stretched over the sur
face OF the water the other is by q number
OF large spread-nets toward which the ducks
are driven by hunters. The remaining
picture illustrates Japanese hawking, which
was very popular sport in former times.
