dances.
The PAS des Amateurs" Is a topi.
cal dance. which. beginning with
flying movement. finishes very slowly.
There is a Russian. dance known as
the "Lukinskoff; Spain is repre-
scented by pas de quatre, while King
Georges coronation is responsible for
the "Royale" step, said to be full OF
majesty and grace; the United States
contributing dangerous dance
known as Sleeping Love-"
M. Giraudet. the president OF the
conference, presented some dancing
statistics. In dancing fol-, five min
utes to three.four time 1900 steps are
taken. equal to fifty-two yards. Dur
ing an evenings dancing the polka
would be equivalent to a walk from
the bank to the marble arch; pas de
quatre would bring the dancer to
Hyde Park corner; waltz to Picca-
dilly circus; joyous two-step through
the Green park to Buckingham pal
ace: finishing up with q galop and a
double Boston, which would bring the
dancer to Hammersmith. d
Men who do not dance will be sur.
prised to learn that during ftve-min-
ute waltz no fewer than $50 words can
be exchanged with ones partner.

engineers have freely conceded high
praise to this achievement. Not until
Sir William Willcocks took up the
subject, from high humanitarian mo-

Babylonian canals ever seriously con-
sidered. His preliminary observations
led him to breach the question, and
five years ago he undertook, on be-
half of the Turkish government, whose
interest he had enlisted, the actual
mapping out and beginning Of a canal
system. This he has done for nom
inal salary, which has straightway
gone back into the project. In some
cases the lines OF the old canals,

feature of Mesopotamian scenery, are
followed In others, newer methods,
made possible by modern engineering
skill, are employed. t8 Z. &
