nNE of the most remarkable
additions to the attractions
of the stage within a year or
two has been the introduction OF
new and beautiful forms of dane
ing which have surprised every
body by their power of dramatic
expression
Life on this globe would be
very dreary affair If its inhabitants
were not able to express to one an
other their thoughts and feelings.
First comes spoken language, then
written and printed language, and,
after these. movements of the body
and limbs and of the facial muscles
which are frequently the most ex-
pressive of all.
But the art of telling thoughts
and revealing emotions without
speech has probably deteriorated
since the earlier stages of human
history. A study of mankind indi-
Gates that their first means of ex-
preston was mainly a language of
signs. Dancing was form of visi-
BILE language from the beginning.
The dancer preceded the orator in
stirring the emotions of the multi
tude.
From the Same Source.

taking their steps with rhythmic
regularity reveal the origin of
dancing. We can not read the
thoughts of the penguins, but we
can see plainly that their perform
ance has for them the same kind
of significance that the dances of
savage men possess for those who
take part in or look upon them.
When you were younger you no
doubt read in the book called
Swiss Family Robinson" the ac-
count of a beautiful wild birds
dance on fallen log with a multi
tude of admiring bird spectators
looking on. That account, although
it appeared in a story of fiction,
was true to nature. Many natural
lists have beheld similar scenes.
They prove that the passion for the
stage is not confined to men ana
women. A visit TO any barnyard
whep the spring sunshine calls out
the fowls will show you a proud
cock ruffling his bronze feathers
and taking dancing steps before his
admiring family. The great Oar
win drew profound lessons from the
behavior of dancing birds There
are even dancing mice
In man the dancing instinct has
the advantage of being guided and
developed by superior degree of
intelligence. But its profound orr
gin in the deepest impulses of his
nature is always evident. I have

STEAMBOAT LINES FIGHT
PROPOSED LEGISLATION
Say La Toilette Seaman's Bill Would

1t is stated that the managers of the
steamboat lines on the Chesapeake af-
fected by the La Toilette seaman's bill,
especially those carrying passengers, will
endeavor to- have some Of the provisions
Of the bill amended, it being asserted
that it is practically impossible to COM
ply with some Of its provisions.
That part of the proposed new legisla-
ton which is raising strong objection is
the provision requiring that every pas
senger-carrying steamer must carry
enough lifeboats and RATS to accommo-
date its entire passenger list and 1t
further specifies that each lifeboat must
be in charge of two trained seamen who
have had three years experience.
The effect Of the measure. it is de-
clared by steamship officials. imposes ar
unreasonable demand which if insisted
on will work hardship, which will re-
suit in great loss in their business. All
concur in the belief that any reasonable
demand for the safety of passengers
