The Dismissal of Professor Moore

The experience of Willis l.. Moore, late head of the weather bureau, is that of the dog in Aesops fable. With bone in his mouth this avarcious canine his reflection in the water, and imag- ming 1t to be another dog with bone, opened his mouth to seize it, with the that the mor sel fell into the stream and lost. In grasping at the seeretaryship of agriculture Moore lost his grip on the weather bureau.
 At any rate, his ambition is given as the cause for his summary removal, though details of his alleged misconduct have not been made public. Meanwhile we may suppose that his offense comes under the head of "perncious activity,"k which was the most heinous of official crimes and convenient pretext for removal.
 We hardly suppose that when the indictment against Professor Moore is made public in detail it will be shown that it neglect of his official duty while in pursuit of promotion, the country swept by flood month resulting in the blowing away washing away of cities and These disasters would probably have occurred if the professor had re- mained the job.
 Professor Moore had been in honorable service Tn the weather bureau for generation. He is re- sponsibe for much of it's improved efficiency and there will be widespread regret that he is retired from his office in this unceremonious manner we say with almost Jacksonian simplicity.

Percy MacKaye in North American Review) Lord of the sundering land and deep. For whom of old to suage thy wrath, The floods stood upright as heap To shape thy host a dry-shod path. Lo, now from tide to sundered tide Thy hand, Outstretched in glad release, Hath torn the eternal hills aside
 To blaze liquid path for Peace Thy hand, englaived in flaming steel, Hath clutched the demons of the soil And made their forge fires roar and reel To serve thy seraphim in toil; While round their pits the nations, bowed Have watched thine awful enginery Compel through thunderbolt and cloud, The demigods to slave for thee. For thee hath glaring Cyclops sweat, And Atlas groaned, and Hercules < For thee his iron sinews set, :. And thou vast lord of Rameses; '~  Till now they pause, to watch thy hand Lead forth the first eviathan Through mazes of the jungled and
 Submissive to the will of man: Submissive through the will of us
 To thine, the universal will, That leads divine and devious,
 To world d-communions vaster still. The titans rest; intense, aware,
 The host of nations dumbly waits; The mountains lift their brows and stare; The tides are knocking at the gates.s Almighty of the humand mind,
 Unlock the portals of sleep That lead to visions of our kind,
 And marry sundered deep to deep!

ANNA PAVLOW A.

After an absence of three years the
great Anna Pavlowa returns to this
country and with her imposing COM
pany will be at Nixon's Apollo The
atre next Monday night. Pavlowa is
generally regarded as the greatest
dancer the world has ever known, and
to her may justly be ascribed the re-
generation of the dance as fine art
in England and in this country and
the present vogue of dancing. Two
continents have paid tribute to her
that is without precedent in the his
tory of all art, and the vocabularies of
a dozen nations have been exhausted
in describing the consummate skill,
grace and beauty she imparts to dane
ing. She will be seen in a compre-
hensive and varied program that will
range from classic ballet to modern
fancy dances.
