GUESSING his theory, that a song which does
not run in the rhythm of the heart will not
become popular.
There are hundreds of reasons why a
song becomes popular, but two are par
ticulariy apparent-words and music. If the
music be catchy it goes fer a time. II the
words are "a hit it goes for a time. If there
is any real merit in the words and the
music it lives for a long time.
II was going to say 1t lives forever but
that is a long time.
Take the most popular and most last

1t will then be found that the heart does
not beat in the time of THE Star-Spangled
Banner or in the rhythm of America
but that it swings perfectly to 1.-THE Watch
on the Rhine" the British Grenadiers" and
the stirring "Marseillaise."
According to this test, If there Is anything
of popularity or action attached to our W
two national songs 1t will not be due to the
fact that they move the heart because they
beat with 1t. but because Of the inspiration
in the words.
SONGS NOT INCLUDED.
There is quite a list of familiar songs
which do not beat to the heart" according
to Mr.. STANCES theory; songs that are near
to the heart of all lovers of music. For in
stance. outside of the two named as not
conforming to the heartbeat. there are
"The Last Rose Of Summer" "Lorelei,"

robin Adair." way Down Upon the
S'wanee River" Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep" and many others. all of which
have lived and will live in posterity.
Mr.. STANCE does not claim that a song will
not be popular or lasting unless it beats to
the heart; he does not say that a song
which beats to the heart must necessarily
be popular or lasting.
MIR. Dooley," the song, IS in heartbeat
rhythm. 1t was popular for a time, but 1t
will not live. Among the familiar pieces
which move with the heartbeat are the
good old songs, 'The Girl / Left Behind
Me- Wearing of the Green Yankee
Doodle "Bluebells of Scotland" and Com
ing Thro' the Rye"
If you inspect them you will find that they
are written in one, of two times. either wo-
four or four-four time. both of which times
are recognized at once as being march time.
The time of the songs winch do not beat
in heart time is either three-four time,
(waltz time), or six-eight time (ballad time).
1t is a statement of a fact which needs no
demonstration that waltz music and ballad
songs are not inspiring.
1t is equally pertinent that march music
is inspiring. Mr.. STANCE explains why
march music is inspiring by his theory that
all march music beats to the time of the
heart.

Music. it has been proved. has a powerful
effect upon the human emotions, moving

STANCE, the song writer and lbrettist, to
discover that the music which stirs the
heart and sets the feet agoing, which make
the soldier forget the long march. which
inspires men to action, is the music that
beats-literalIy beats-to the cadences of the
heart.
In other words. in playing music of this
kind. the conductors baton. keeping time to
the orchestra or band, is also keeping time

If the orchestra should stop playing for

beating.

FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION
\ Disaster IN thc Hostetter-Con-
De1isyiile Coke COmpany's Mine.

Latrobe, Pa, February 2S.-The Hos
tetter-Connellsville Coke Company's
mine near here. was the scene of a fire
damp explosion yesterday, IN which it
is thought three men lost their lives.
The explosion occurred when the full
force of the men were at york and it
is considered almost a miracle that
there were not more fatallt es.
About eight hundred mon are en-
rloyed in the mine which is located
-four and a half miles west of this
place.
The cause of the explosion is a mys-
terry. 1t occurred about two miles from
the main entry.
Most of the force OF miners work
in the vicinity Of the entry in which he
explosion occurred.
The explosion was not heard outside
Of the mine and none except thoS. at
work knew anything of it until those
who escaped came rushing to the main
entry and spread the news Of the dis
aster.
D. p. Marshall states that locked
lamps were used throughout bpth
mines. These were locked before haing
given the men and his theory is that
the explosion was caused by a slark
from some hard substance by a pick.
Or by spontaneous combustion.
Rescuing parties brought cut all but
three of the imprisoned men and these
three are believed to be dead.

Then, again, during his twenty years as practical head of the church, he has made many enemies. and thousands of people have blamed him for their failure to ob- tain favors they have asked from time to time from the Holy Father. Rampolla suffers in penalty that is visited upon all men in authority. Furthermore, he is blamed for the expulsion of religious or ders from France. although he could not have prevented 1t or interfered in any way. Since the establishment of the re- public there has been a bitter warfare be- tween the old Catholic aristocracy and nobility who are royalists and the pro- gressive liberal republican element. Ram polla's sympathy has been with the lat ter. and they are responsible for the ex- pulsion of the monks and nuns from

 This, however, is one of the strongest ob- jectians to RampoIla. While everybody has loved and revered Leo XIII, his peace for humanitarian. liberal and just reign has not pleased many of the fierce, old fashioned members of the sacred college. He has not been aggressive enough for them; he has been too good, too gentle and too much like the Master that he serves. Their bigotry. intolerance and narrow mlnedness has never touched him, much to their disappointment, and they realize that they would have quite as lit tie influence If Rampolla were Pope as they have had with him. Therefore, they are against Rampolla. and will do every thing in their power to prevent his cleo ton.

 now dwell in the .cafyon show q less ad-
 vanced civilization than its prehistoric l occupants. s
 Rev. Henry Mason Baum has made sew eral visits to the canyons and discovered many valuable specimens. It was on his
 recommendation that the custodian was appointed. In the current issue of Heer
 ords of the Past he tells about some of
 his visits. He found Del Muerto the most interesting. It takes its name-'the cam yon of death"--from the fact that at the time of the Spanish conquest a large,
 force moved up the canyon and naassa- cred hundreds of Indians.
 It was in this canyon that he found q
 most peculiar mummy--an aged clifK-
 dwelling warrior done up in a well pre-
 served feather cloth. By his side was
 bow and arrow of perfect workmanship "As I made the accompanying photoA graph" writes Mir. Baum. fit seemed to
 me that a more pathetic discovery had
 not been made in recent years"
 In another cliff ruin was found the well-preserved skeleton of a male dwarf supposed to be about 35 years old and measuring thirty-three inches in height It Is the first dwarf mummy found in the southwest and opens considerable field of investigation. Tt may bring the stu dent face to face with a race of dwarfa as found in some of the native tribes of Africa. Each tribe Is the possessor of
 from one to four of these dwarfs, whom
 they regard as their wise men. The say

WISH TO PRESERVE au1Ns.

Remains of the Cliff Dwellers' Houses
 Are to Be Carefully Guarded.
 New York Tribune.
 The United, States have lately taken steps to preserve the extensive ruins dis covered on the Navajo Indian reservation in the northeastern part of Arizona. A custodian has been appointed for the De Chelly, Del Muerto and Monument can yons, and no one will be permitted to make excavations except under direction of the proper authorities. s@
 In these canyons are cliff dwellers ruins, varying in size from single room perched on some ledge to an extensive communal building. numbering as many as seventy-five rooms and several stories in height. On the canyon bottoms are most interesting pueblo ruins. There are more than 200 of both classes and at one time they must have housed a population of 15O0O souls. Students of America s prehistoric civilization hold that the cliff and pueblo dwellers belonged to the
