FOR TORPEDO STATION.

East Lamoine One Of Several Maine
Sites Being Considered.
The government property at East La
moine, where the coaling station is being
established, is one OF half dozen Maine
sites that are being considered for q
torpedo station. Surveys are being made
at each of these places.
So far nothing has been decided her
OF the sites under consideration may be
selected. OF course the people of this
section hope it will be the East Lamoine
site, as the Importance OF that station
would be greatly increased thereby.
The torpedo station would be the rem
devious for torpedo boats, and place for
torpedo practice and experiments.

considerable Malay and more or less Spanish.
The experience was as interesting as the
relics.
Later in the day Moro dance was held
in the middle Of the wide village street. or
plaza, and aChen we arrived large audience
had collected around the roped space. Sold
iers leaned on their guns, and pretty Flip
ino women looked from upper balconies.
People of mrny races Rhinege, Malay, Mo.

each shade tree held its complement OF agile

The Spell Of Strange Melodies.
La the centre were spread large straw
mats, and the music had already begun.
T,co metal drums were hung from trees and
beaten by men With padded sticks. Below
them woman squatted on the ground before
eight circular bronze implements, in shape
Ike covered bowls, set on two wires stretch
ed in long box, upon which she played
piih bare sticks. They appeared to be tuned
in some sort of minor scale, but neither
we're they harmonic nor melodic, though the
third was true minor. The stranges melodies
produced were empkaticslly syncopated,
made more jeiky by the accent of the big
gongs overhead and Of two long drums lying
upon the ground near by, beaten on their
ends Of tightly stretched fur by the flat palms
of man and woman. Spurred on by this
apparently exciting music, a. man sprang
out upon the mat, his face stern and deter
mined, and began to pose and gestlculate.
He appeared to hitch himself around by his
toes, with hands and arms siifly yet grace
fully curving, rigid yet constantly changing,
and held aloft In strange contortiOns. A
second soon joined him, adding to the effect
by peculiar huuching OF back and g. ould
ers In what the especially fine points OF the
performance consisted, We did not know, but
every moment or two the crowd would break
into wild cries of joy and certain motions
ard expressions, rs, scith head well over the
left shoulder, the men pursued one another
msjesticaily around the mat. Several sets
of dancers followed, generally in trousers Of
gray or striped cotton, so tight that it seem
ed their limbs must have been melted and
poured in, bright colored silk jackets with
| gold buttons, and two or three gay sashes
wound and rewound about their waists,
through which handsome knives were thrust
on the left side, wkiIo the right bulged with
the safely slowed boetle boxes, of silver oI
brass. The heads were always encased in
brilliant turbans, and frequently some star
ting scarf VAS thrown across one shoulder.

LEARNING q TRADE.
The Danger of Making a Specialize
of a Ra0Inner

of Beginner.
1t Is generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as a whole, but only
little section of it, says Joseph Horner
In Casters Magazine 1t pays better
to keep a lad repeating the perform
ance of one section of his craft than
to teach him ALL More money is made.
But the apprentice becomes a Young
specialist, prig in his teens, cocksure
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over his
normal wages, and many q lad does
not become dlsillusioned until he has to
face the world and try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops in
which to place lad are not the big es.
adjustments, but the small ones. where
every class of work is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant,
A lad VIII learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
infinitely subdivided into sections and
groups.
The best training for a lad today IL
that which he can evolve for himself.
The greatest evil that can befall him
Is to become a specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that Ia
what must happen IL he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitiye unvarying tasks In one big es.
Enlistment
Inc best training, therefore. today Is
NI..A
that gathered by the perIpatetic youth.
II lad cannot gain experience In one
place, he should move about, gathering
us much as he can accumulate with
one hrm' then on TO another and at.
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened.
ne becomes self reliant, and an time,
having found his true work, he may
settle down as specialist.
