Henry Mock Negro of Mingo
Junction, o., has invented what he
calls a mine destroyer" which will
not only prevent ship from being
blown up by a submarine mine, but
will set off the mine without harm to
the vessel which is equipped with
his device. He also claims that his
invention will locate icebergs and
prevent vessels from running into
such "terrors of the sea-" and that 1t
is a safe device for rescuing passen-
gers from sinking or burning ships.
Mock says he has not secured patents
on his invention, but has applied for
them in this and other countries. He
also says he has correspondence with
governments regarding his invention,
with gratifying encouragement OF
their adopting 1t as an equipment OF
their navies.

ments with my invention" said Mock

has been an unqualified success.

the river in the path of the steamer
also was tried number of times with
great success.

The music of the Negro, like the
music of the Indian, has caused much
ink to be spilled. Some enthusiastic
souls have looked to the rhythms OF
the red man for the melody that is to
create American music; in fact, some
have gone so far as to declare that
the only possible American music can
be Indian music Which is all very
interesting and absolutely inconclu'
sive. The fact remains that Indian
composers, in any fair sense of the
term, do not exist while we have
among us many talented and we'll
trained Negro creative musicians. II
was with one of these that a New
York Tribune representative talked
last week, with a man who has writ
ten a very large proportion of tho
so-called modern dances. The man
was Jesse Rees Europe, the COM
poser of all the Castle dances, and
the director of Europe's orchestra, an
organization which has all but secured
complete control of the cabaret and
dance field in the city. Mr.. Europe is
well-trained musician and a man
who has thought deeply on the musi-
cal possibilities of his race, and of
these possibilities he has firm and
well defined opinions.
Il am striving at present to form
an orchestra of Negroes which will be
able to take its place among the Sc
rious musical organizations of the
/ ~ -
The Tempo club now contains
about two hundred members, all mu-
sicians, and from this body / supply
at present a majority of the orches
tras which play in the various cafes
of the city and also at the private
dances. Our Negro musicians have
nearly cleared the field of the so-called
, gypsy orchestras. The Negro, while
not generally equal to the demands
of the more sophisticated forms of
music, is peculiarly fitted foc the mod
ern dances. | don't think 1t too much
to say that he plays this music better
than the white man simply because
all this music is indigenous with him.
Rhythm is something that is born in
the Negro. and the modern dances
require rhythm above all else.
Il myself do not consider the mod
ern dances a step backward. The
one-step is more beautiful than the
old two-step, and the fox-trot than the
schottische. of which 1t is a develop
ment. AS to the socalled dance craze.
1t does not appear to be craze |
have had probably as good an oppor-
tunity to observe the various dances
as anyone in the city, and | have
found that dancing keeps husbands
and wives together and eliminates
much drinking, as no one can dance
and drink to excess. However. these
are questions for a philosopher and
not for musician"
