ANCIENT death DANCE"
IS REVIVED AT LUBECK
Terror or Relief Is Shown on
Faces as the Weird Music
Is Played.

A revival of the ancient custom OF
performing the death dance" took
place in the Church Of st. Aegidius, at
Lubbock, recently. A visitor describ-
ing his experiences of it says:
"On entering the church, in the dim
twilight, l noted mysterious lights
flashing from the gallery, while soft
music was played. The curtains
which had hidden the gallery were
then drawn aside, and the old build
ing, rich in carvings dating from the
Renaissance, was lit up by cold blue
light. The music ceased and then a
tall, underlined ghostly figure playing
a flute was seem
up the darkened nave procession
now appeared, the players clad in med
ieval dresses. Heading the process
sion were the emperor and empress,
the cardinal, the artistocrat, the doc
tor, the usurer, the nun, the peasant
and the mother with her child. The
procession mounted the gallery and
then disappeared in the dark.
"The death flute ceased its weird
music, and Death ordered the emperor
and then the remainder of the process
sion before the tribune, and con-
demned them all, irrespective of posi-
ton. Death then danced with them, the
dancers showing their terror or relief
by realistic movements. The shrill ac-
compartment of a violin broke the ST.
lence Finally Death convulsively
gripped the child, the music became
more weird till at last the organ
broke into crash of chords, the play
ers disappeared and the church was
once more flooded with light

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN RADIUM PRODUCTION
Importance Of Mines of Bohemia
Exaggerated, Says Metal
Specialist.

Despite reports from London telling
of radium corner executed by British
interests when they acquired the prod
uct of Czechoslovakian pitchblende
mines, America is still and will prob
ably continue to be the leading pro-
Queer of radium of the world, and 1t
has the largest known reserves OF ra-
dium-bearing minerals.
The Importance of the pitchblende
mines of Bohemia (Czechoslovakia)
has been greatly exaggerated In the
public mind, according to Frank l..
Hess, specialist in the rarer metals,
United States geological survey. Their
total production up to the end Of 1920
was only 2O962 grams, while during
the year 1920 alone nine radium plants
in this country isolated and placed in
tubes for medical and scientific use
32.539 grams Oils ounces) Of radium
worth about 81, 253,OOO, and during the
same year ore carrying 43.4 grams
(about 1.5 ounces) of radium was
mined.
British interests expect SO to 6U
grams of radium from their holdings in
about fifteen years, but America at
the 1920 rate of production would ac-
complish this in two years.
"Since 1911 when the first uranium
minerals were mined in this country
for radium, ore carrying 1865 grams
(6.5 ounces) has been mined" ex-
planned Mr.. Hess. In all about 135
grams of this quantity were extracted,
but probably One-quarter of the total
American output was dissipated on
watch faces, signs and other self-illu-
minated objects, principally during the
war; Europe probably almost exhaust
ed the radium supplies by such uses
during the war.
The whole stock of radium in the
world today is not more than 100 grams
(3.5 ounces), worth 100000 to $12,-
100000 or II to 20 tons in gold coin.
in spite of optimistic estimates by
some, recent investigations seem to
show that our probable radium sup
plies, though largest In the world, are
so small that they should be carefully
conserved and that no radium should
be used for Illumination" Mr.. Hess
says.

About i6GI an agitation commenced

The custom was first to remove the

later II was taken Off altogether.
The introduction of the wig helped
the custom-for 1t proved difficult to
keep ones hat on over a tousled
mass Of false curIs. This also led to
large hats with plumes going out Of

Then, instead of wearing hats In

and often carried them in their hands
when out Of doors The Purlt0ns In
England continued to wear their
broad-hrimmed hats, however, indoors

selIrlon In Everyday LIE.

The widespread impression that re
llgion is a thing OF life apart and not
an essential part Of profitable life Is
at the bottom Of all our social prob.
lems Were the people taught, not
merely preached TO on Sundays, but
taught In school from Infancy to old
age, that to deal justly, to be kind
and generous, and to revere the pow.
ers above earthly powers. our social
affairs would soon assume. or approx
innate, the conditions contemplated by
the Master. In these more enllght-
ened times men want to know the
value Of religion as a personal asset
In life rather than a promised assur-
Rnce of peace and comfort after
death. An occasional sermon on the
value Of religion as a personal asset
In social and business life would be
helpful to many toIlers.--Erasmus
Wilson.
