Equilibrium in Bird Flight

It is likely that the bird s superb ease and grace in the air are due to it s ability to maintain absolute bal ance. If a gull makes the mistake of bending until the wind strikes its head and wings on the top it will tumble instantly. And the sailing birds, though they make no Tapping motion with their wings, are constantly balancing like a man on a tight rope. Some scien- lists have maintained that the air sacs make it possible for the bird to manage minute changes that are very valuable in restoring equilibrium. It is known that the wing is joined to the lody of the bird by what is called .a Universal joint, enabling the creaturSe to make almost every possible mGtion. The body of a man is heavier than water, but if he gets into position of perfect bal ance, he will float. In some such way, it is claimed, the bird floats in the air But as the bird woul,l fall much more rapidly in the air than a man s body would sink in the water, the necessity for far more subtle ability to keep the center of gravity on the part of the bird is apparent. Hence according to this theory, the bird is provided for this purpose with the most sensitive made up of nerves and mys- torious air duets; many of the wing feathers perhaps acting as sentinels, warning instantly of the slightest ap- pr9ach of shifting urrents.-EYery- body's MagazIle.

SPANISH WEDDING DANCE.

Music and Attendants-The Dress of
Women and Men.
The wedding dance was being held
In long, narrow building near foun-
tain, and we entered on a smooth earth
floor; seats were ranged about the sides
Of the whitewashed room, and the low
rafters were draped and festooned with
fancy wall paper with gold scrolls in It.
The music was furnished by a piano
organ at one end Of the long room,
turned In rotation by n number Of
boys In their clean, blue blouses and
brown corduroy breeches, who felt
their Importance, and at the other end
Of the room n table was spread with
cakes and bread and a wine concoction
very sweet and pleasant, but seductive,
The women, some bringing their
babies, were a pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although n few, with their
large dark eyes, came very near to It.
They did not wear the gay costumes
of my Imagination, but their dresses
showed great care and conscientious
patching. A gay handkerchief was
often folded around the neck and
across the breast and large earrings
and big breastpins were the vogue even
among the young women.
The men wore broad brimmed black
felt hats and clean blue blouses, cor
duroy trousers, either light tan or
brown, and the long red or black sash
belt called a "faja," wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving as
pockets for cigarettes, tobacco pouch
and the villalnOus knife that everyone
carries.
The dances were round" Inter-
spersed with n square dance, wheEe
four people comprised set-a sort Of
fandango, with lots Of stamping and
attempts at 1.-THE, serpentine motions,
with the hands raised above the head.
There was a very old man who danced
with great gusto and amused the crowd
OF young people, who encouraged him
with clapping OF hands.-Scribner's
Magazine.

Gentlemen, that man had no feeling

Initiation marble can be manufac-

For many years bituminous coal OPP
orators threw away slack as waste.
Now it commands at the mines 70 cents
a ton. The increase Is due largely to
the demand coming from makers Of ce-
ment Formerly they bought lump coal
and pulverized It. Now they use slack.
Quartz rock was not long ago consid-
