THE POWER OF MIMIcRY.

London Saturday Review.-The
power of mimicry deserts the aver
age man at the same time, and for
the same reason, as the power of par
ody. Before he is twenty the average
youth can catch, more or less recog-
nizably, the tone of voice and the
tone of mind of his friends. Later
his own mind acquires SO distinct a
tone, and he becomes so accustomed
to the sound of his own voice, that
his efforts at mimicry (if he make
any, are dire failures. Occasionally,
however, a man retains the knack
even though he has distinct individ-
Uality In him, and in him only, we
behold the complete mimic. For mimi
cry is form of criticism, and a. dis
tinct individuality-a point of view
is as needful in the mimic as in the
critic. Mimicry is mechanical repro
dUction of voice and gesture, and fac
ial play is a n ere waste of time and
trial of patience. Yet that is the kind
of mimicry that is nearly always Of
fered us. A man comes upon the plat
form and reprodUces verbatim some
scene of a recent play exactly as it
was enacted by this or that mimic.
If he were a parrot the effect would
be amusing, for it is odd to hear
bird uttering human infections. But
he happens to be a man, and so we
are merely bored.

STORM ON THE DEAD SEA.
One Small SaiIboat the Only Craft
That Navigates Its Waters.

Since the earthquake in Palestine
last April some one circulated the story
that the mouth of the river Jordan had
been SO affected by the shock that the
level of the river had been altered to
such an extent that at the place where
the historic river. goes into the Dead
sea there was now waterfall of con-
siderable depth and strength. This
is altogether false and 40 change
whatever has taken place at or near
the mouth of the Jordan.
Much has also appeared in period
calls about steamboats, navigating the
Dead sea. This, too, is fabrication
The only boat on the Dead sea is a
small sailing-boat, about twenty feet
long. This vessel makes trips as the
wind blows, from the north end of the
sea to the bay on the eastern side of
the tongue that divides the water near
the middle. Here at this terminus
some Jews are located. The whole
concern is, in fact, in the hands of the
Jews, who, at low rate, buy wheat
and barley from the Arabs, to be de-
livered on the seashore. From there
it is shipped to the Jericho side and
carried on donkeys to Jerusalem,
where it finds ready sale at a good
price.
When adverse winds blow the little
craft is in danger of being swamped.

Gently spent four nights such as never

Una drew further into the shade as
the two men, after hunting about the
room, came up to the recess, and
listened as they paid their cOmpl1-
ments and seemed anxious to remain,
but Lady Bell sent them off quite
plainly and distinctly, and sat looking
toward the door, and presently she
ceased talking, and her bright, beauti-
full face grew quiet and almost sad,
certainly wistful, and at last she
sighed and murmured:

"Who will not come?' said Una.

sudden grip and fiutter.
Una looked up, and her face went
deadly white.
The room seemed to spin round with
her, and the lights to flood her brain
and paralyze her, for there, towering
above the throng, stood Jack New
Combe.
Jack Newcombe-not in his rough
tweed suit but in evening dress; Jack,
not with the frank, tender, pleasant
smile which always rested upon his
face as it appeared in her dreams,
but with a cold, half-irritable, and
wholly bored expression.
Slowly she rose and glided into the
shadow of the recess and hid herself,
her heart beating wildly, her whole
form trembling with strange ecstasy
of mingled fear and delight.
At last she saw him again.
