Toe dancing is not comparative,
modern French invention, as is pop
ularly supposed, since a piece o
Egyptian pottery over 1000 years old
now exhibited by the Institute o
| Archaeology, shows a girl taking sucl
steps In modern ballet style.
The antiquity of toe dancing is only
one of the things revealed by the
| Egyptian collection brought from
! Nerne in the Sudan. by Professor
John Garstang. Stones of astronomi-
| cal buildings there show considerable
| knowledge of the heavens. On one
stone was sketched an instrument for
measuring angles and taking eleYa-
TONS while another drawing tends 70
| show that an effort was made to
measure the circumference of the
moon. Certain marks measuring the
| shadows of the sun indicate an effort
to get the latitude and longitude of
Meroe.
An entirely new language, which is
Mt present a mystery, was also dis
covered by Psychologists here, In GER

PARIS, July 25.-The latest addi-
ton to the Paris Art World is an ex-
hibition of American art by typical
American artists. The exhibitors this
year are Bryson Burroughs, curator
of paintings at the Metropolitan
Museum, New York, and Ernest
Lawson, of the Art Students League,
New York The work of the two
artists is entirely different. Lawson
belongs to the futuristic impression
istic school, the palette knife being
used more extensively than the brush,
while Burroughs's work, especially
his figure groups are on the order OF
mural decorations, and the influence
of Botticelli may be clearly seen In
them. Lawson, in his landscapes, has
admirably caught the clean American
atmosphere Every detail stands out
in bold relief; there Is no softening
mask of haze, or dim suggestion of
figures, such Is one finds in the works
of Corot and his contemporaries. The
criticism has been made that his
colors are too striking, but when the
right perspective has been obtained,
they become diffused and soften until
they melt into a harmonious whole.
ONSTANTINOPLE. July 25.-In
proof of the new spirit now stirring
the Turkish people, the foreigners
here cite the sudden interest taken in
the stage. Many well known plays,
including la Dame aux Camelias,
have been translated into Turkish for
production. Some of Moliere's COM
edies and demonstrations of Sherlock
Holmes stories are also booked
Ii is comparatively few years ago
that Constartinople had few houses
of amusement of the poorest class, of
which the best was a degenerate cir
Gus. Now, with NJ Antoine, the ia
nous Partisan director. In charge OF
the Conservative of Constantinople,
some fine productions may be ex
pected. Native writers are also eXer-
cising their hands at the drama.
LONDON. July 25.-Female Bob
bies" will be feature of London life
If Lord Bentinck's amendment to the
criminal justice bill is carried by
Parliament. He proposes that each
metropolitan and county borough
should have at least two women po-
lice constables.
In the general bill which is con-
sidered certain to pass, women off,
GERS are provided to look after women
prisoners out on probation, and each
police station would have IT'S matron.
The men will also gain by the new
law. Workers will be allowed seven
clear days within which to pay fines,
in order that a payday may be in
cluded in the period. At present, a
prisoner unable to settle the fine on
sentence has to take the alternative
of jail
HONG KONG, July 25.-Fighting
still continues in Formosa between
the natives and the Japanese, in spite
of the superior arms and resources of
the latter. In one of the recent col
lisions a band of 200 tribesmen were
moved down by machine guns, losing
a quarter of their number in dead
and wounded. Yet, in spite of forced
retreats, the Formosans seem to pre-
sent as difficult problem in pacifica-
ton as the Spaniards are facing in
Morocco. Owing to the wild and
rugged nature of the islands, which
has never been explored by foreign
ers, the tribesmen are able to elude
the forces they So seriously annoy.
DITTINGEN, Canton of Berne,
Switzerland, July 25.-The cement fac
tory, which used to be the pride of this
town, because it represented the
principal industry of the place, was
blown to pieces by It's owners June 27,
under the supervision of the local
police. The great mill had been
bought by a syndicate and closed as
unnecessary to the system. The syn
dictate had to continue to pay taxes
as heavy as though the works were in
operation. and 1t was decided, there
fore, to destroy them. Charges of
dynamite were placed under the tall
chimneys and at various places In
the walls throughout the manufac-
tory. The cartridges were exploded
simultaneously by electric connec-
tons, and the whole place became a
mass of broken walls and piles of
brick. Some of the townspeople cried
as they saw the place tumble into
ruins.
