POETIC IDEA IN AuAUMN DANCE

"Why Is 1t that Boston girls are SO
much more enthusiastic followers OF
terpsichore than New York girls areE
asked man who has just returned
from visit to the Hub, where he had
been charmed by the dancing OF inc
girls who belong to the vincent clup'
He said every girl there looked beautl-
full because of the skill and grace they
had acquired with constant practice
One dance he described as charming
was an autumn dance. The girls wore
gowns composed of hundreds of lear
shaped pieces of silk of different shades
of red, brown, yellow and green. Ihey
blew into the room to wild, windy
sounding music and ran whirling ana
swaying In gay colored throng around
the hall with their leaf gowns flutter-
ing. AS the music grew wilder the!
swung into great circle. This broke
and they danced in and out in pairs,
following the caprices of the leader,
who finally wound them up in bunch,
where they dropped to the ground III q
bright heap. After a pause in the mu-
sic the fire theme" began. A crimson
and yellow sprite fitted around touch
ing the girls with a flaming wand,
whereupon every leaf became enveloped
in a smoke colored scarf and was waved
and blown in time to the music. Al
the dying Of the sound the smoke died
and the leaves lay still upon the ground
until they jumped up to respond to the
enthusiastic applause. - New York

ENGLISH TONGUE SUPERIOR

English is spoken by about one hun
dred and fifty million and Spanish by
about fifty million people. The differ
ence Is not due to any inherent super
iority OF the English stock. The Eng
lish not only have the greater genius
for commercial and political cooper
alton, and colonizing, but they have, as
well, built up their institutions on the
enduring basis of righteousness and re-
Spect for law. Spanish is incompar-
ably more musical than English, and is
practically phonetic. while English Is
handicapped by it's arbitrary spelling.
On the other hand. English is often
briefer though not always. Spanish can
say II shall CO. in one word-"Ire."
The great advantage Of English is it's
double vocabulary. one of Teutonic and
one of Latin origin, which enables it to
make nice distinctions. 1t has also ac-
quired the power to assimilate words
from every language under the sun.
These facts, together with the greater
intellectual activity of the English
race in many fields of human endeavor,
have swelled its vocabulary 10 startling
figures. The Standard dictionary con-
tains over $4,000 words. I do not be-
lieve any Spanish dictionary contains
half as many-Success Magazine.

THIS sHhKY EARTH

The earthquake disaster at Kingston,
like the greater calamities at San Fran
cisco and Valparaiso, appears to have
been far less destructive than the sub
.sequent conhasration. A shock suti-
cient to demolish a few buildings in a
city is sure to cause fires in various
places and also demoralize fire-hghting
service. The loss solely attributable to
the earthquake, in such case. is COM
paratively small. This is true in re-
spect to the loss Of life as we'll as Of
property.
The earthquake at Kingston throws
no additional light on the general sub
ject of seismic disturbance. Along with
the news Of the disaster I'm Jamaica
came dispatch telling Of an earth
quake in Norway--'1and of the mid
night sun None of the earth's zones
is free from temblors. Away up In Ice
land there have been such visitations,
and that island has active volcanoes,
one of which ranks. among the most
notable on the earth.
Within these early days of the new
year we have had an extraordinary
number of earthquake reports from
various quarters OF the world. In our
own country there have been shocks in
at least half dozen states, including
three that border on the Atlantic coast.
The most destructive earthquake that
ever visited North America, excepting
the one, In the San Francisco section,
occurred on that coast, at Charleston.
That no part of the earth is exempt
from earthquakes is evidenced by the
fact that the planets crust is of ap-
proximate thickness throughout and
that the cooling process is going on in
every part of the interior. The record
Of seismic convulsions shows that no
quarter of the earth is exempt from
manifestation of violent action in the
interior.
According to the logical theory that
the earth will ultimately become a
burnt-out planet, as it's satellite is sup
posed to be, there need be no fear that
such fate will befall soon, judging from
the present evidence of hot activity
within.

is THERE A LIFE BEYOND THIS
ONE2

loved and lost my loved ones, my great
est earthly cares
Ny heart is filled with sorrow; my eyes
are filled with tears;
Oh, could on tomorrow unload my Bit
ter grief:
oh, come to me, sweet messenger, and
give my soul relief.
trust there is no endless hell, beyond
this vale of tears.
Where weak and helpless sinners must
suffer endless years:
L. there is life beyond this one, it is
my fervent prayer
That each and every one of us shall meet
all others there.
When we have served our time out here
and given UP earthly cares,
Let's pass the gates of death with love,
but not with grief and fears:
know that we at all times do precisely
as we must:
| pray that love may rule supreme, and
hatred turn to dust
know I've been quite wicked here,
very wicked man;
But hope I'll be much better there. and
no one hate me then:
cannot like the cruel thought that some
must go to hell;
But pray that each and every one may
heavens music swell.

GOOD EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT

Mayor Harper has given the citizens
of Los Angeles pleasing evidence that
he differs in an important particular
from his immediate predecessor. The
point of difference in question is will
ingness to yield to public opinion rath-
er than to stubbornly stick to a per-
sona idea.
The mayor believed that certain sub
way franchises were we'll worth $4,000
and that the city should receive that
sum for them. His conviction was so
positive in the issue that he prepared
a veto message of a FRANCHISE grant
adopted by the council in which $1,000
was accepted as compensation for the
franchises aforesaid.
But at that point the mayor dis
closed the phase of his character here
in alluded to as differing from a con-
spicuous trait in the character of his
predecessor. Having confidence in the
judgment Of members of the board Of
public works and other prominent city
officials and of scores Of other leading
citizens Mayor Harper yielded and
signed the franchise measures instead
OF vetoing them.
Public sentiment indorses this action
Of the mayor with practical unanimity.
The mayor was right in his effort to
add $4,000 to the funds in the city treas
ury, but he was right also in waiving
the demand rather than to jcopardize
the great subway project In the pure
ly financial aspect of the matter 1t
probably is safe to conclude that the
city's revenue in one year from the
enhancement of values consequent up
on assurance of the subways will more
than compensate for the lost $4,000.
A broad and liberal policy always is
wise in dealing with projects that make
for the progress Of a community. The
old English saying about penny wise
and pound foolish actions fits in such
cases An example of such folly is in
evidence now as a legacy from the last
municipal administration. It's practi-
cal effect is seen in the stoppage of all
surface railway expansion in the city,
caused by the limitation of franchises
TO period regarded as insufficient to
warrant expansion.
The mere question of city compensa-
tion for the subway franchises is of
but little consequence compared with
the widespread gain that will accrue
from the splendid rapid transit service
now assured. The plant and construc-
ton work of the system, as estimated,
will put S5,0O0,000 of eastern money
into the business arteries of the city.
Even that is of secondary Importance,
however, compared with the millions
of dollars of enhanced property value
created by the new transit system and
the general effect in the development
Of the city.
Mayor Harper has fully realized pub.
lie expectation thus far in his ability
and determination to give Los Angeles
what he promised before the election
A business administration and the
best that is in him."

FRIENDS WORRIED OVER
FATE OF BISHOP

Friends of Bishop ]. w. Hamilton
and wife throughout California are
anxious as to their safety, as they
sailed for Jamaica about a month ago
and expected to be at Kingston.
Bishop Hamilton was in poor health
and took the ocean voyage in the hopes
of bettering 1t. AS yet no word has
been received from either the bishop or
Mrs. Hamilton. Friends in this city
have wired to Mrs. Biddell, sister to
Mrs. Hamilton, who is in San Francisco,
but no word has been received from
her.
1t was reported that Bishop Hamilton
was in the San Francisco disaster, but
the bishop escaped that catastrophe,
having left several days before.

incident with increased activity of
Mount Aetna and slight earthquakes in

director OF the Mount Aetna observa-

eruptions are occurring inside the vol
cano, as from the outside nothing but
smoke can be seen. The volcano Is
throwing ashes and subterranean de-
donations are heard. The present
phenomena are similar to those of 1898,
