THE CRANE DANCE.


WHARF the ssubrsesss Gse Their Ida Hsr
Speciality.
There il . dance called the crane
dance, which 10 popular .at the vaude-
Vile houses. At Lincoln park there il q
real crane which does . crane dance,
and those who have seen its saltatorial
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged ani-
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy Of
the performance of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are Of
kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like q delighted
boy at the circus. This Lincoln park
bird at the outset Of his dance 10 the
personification Of dignity. When in the
days Of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit Of
his mate, be did 90 only in the spring
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and ont of season II
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step OF
two to give him encouragement.
The crane begins its dance BY showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight ont in front of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch or two of the
ground. Then there is lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg il
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement Of the feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance of a clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautct
girl, and in a moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, to be succeeded az q
finale by q sort of wild call hand'
round" in which every feather Of thu
bird is alive, as it enters into the JOY Of
the dance with an utter abandon. Tit
act of stopping is like the halt" of thu
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
slant. Then the crane marches away Il
q corner with o still stately tread, bu
with an eye which appears to reveal EN-
barrassment. Chicago Times Herald.

THE advent Of acsty lsne has been
followed by the discovery Of still
another new lighting material. n.
Tauxe, . young Swiss engineer,
