SAYS ROUND" DANCES
ARE NOT ALL BAD
Bishop Potter Speaks Good Word
in Behalf of the Light
Fantastic

Right Rev. Henry c. Potter, Bishop
of New York, is writing a series of ar
ticles for Harper's Bazaar in which he
takes up the current questions of the
day in their relation to women In his
remarks on dancing, published in the
January Bazaar, the bishop says some
really startling things. For example:
Some such homely proverb as What
is one mans meat is another mans
poison, is in truth, the most philo-
sophie statement of great many
questions which human society, the
church, the state, the municipality. the
family, are striving to settle in some
other way. And of nothing is this more
true than of what are known as round
dances. In other words, you eannoz
generalize about them, and say that
they are invariably bad or Invariably
good There are a great many per-
sons whom a round dance makes
speedily dizzy. and If so there ought
not to be any question about the wis
dom of avoiding them. And, Just so.
there are others upon whom, in quite
a different way, the effects of such
dances are equally mischievous and un-
wholesome"
But, my reverend brother you must
not take your dirty Imagination into the
pulpit and denounce as invariably dis
solute and degrading that which MANY

description from your lips knows Of

SENTIMENT AMONG ANNALS

Animals experience no grief what
ever over the death of one of their
number, according TO John Burroughs,
possibly the most astute student of ami
NAL life in this country. He declares
that when a bird seems to mourn it's
lost mate it's act is probably the out
cry Of the breeding instinct which has
been thwarted. He says that all Great
ures understand the language of dis
tress and he has observed that birds
have often warned four-footed animals
of danger, but. he says, this, too, is in
stinct and not because of sentiment.
Sympathy as we know It," he says,
"the keen appreciation Of the suffering
and misfortune of another, which i'm
plies power in a measure to put our
selves in that others place, hardly ex-
lists. even in its rudimentary FORM
among the lower orders" OF all ami
mails Mr.. Burroughs has the best opin-
ion of the dog. There are few of our
ordinary emotions, he thinks, that a
dog does not share.-Kansas City Star

NEW SOUTH WALES BEHIND
TIMES IN LOADING COAL
Methods Used Are Calculated to De-
lay Vessels That Are TAX
ing in Cargoes

Consul +. w. Goding, writing from
Newcastle. n :. W, says that among
experts it has been recognized for some
time that the appliances for loading
vessels with coal in that port of Aus
tralia were antiquated. He adds:
"As an instance, in England the coal
cars with a capacity of fifteen tons
are so manipulated that 500 tons per
hour are loaded at each berth, while
in America 2000 tons per hour is usual.
In Newcastle 1000 tons of coal are
loaded per hour at eighteen berths,
showing how far behind the system is.
The engineer in charge has evolved
system of gravitation which will allow
vessels 10 be fed without cessation or
system forty or more coal cars, of an
average capacity of seven and a half
tons, will be unloaded at each crane per
hour. two cars being handled at the
same time. This means that a vessel
will be fed at the rate of $40 tons per
hour at each crane instead of eighty
tons per hour, as at present.
There is a strong probability that the
capacity of the coal cars will be in
creased to fifteen tons in the near
future, which would allow the handling
of 1900 tons per hour at each berth, re-
ducing the cost of loading coal at this
port by 20 per cent. The Government
is determined TO bring the system of
loading coal here up to the highest
point of efficiency, in which effort aD
those having any connection with the
commercial interests of the port
heartily second"
