Never Too Old to Dance.

Staid old London is becoming too
giddy for words, what with grandpa
taking up the new dances.
1t is n fact, dancing masters Of the
fashionable west end say, that the Eng.
lish dance craze has reached such a
height that septuagcnarians are among
their most enthusiastic pupils.
And they do very well, too" one of
these toddling tutors declares. "Some
of them come for the sake of exercise
not with the idea of cavorting in the
ball room. But they insist, invariably,
on being taught the latest thing, even
though they claim to view the dancing
class as n sort of modern gymnasium
"When they take to the cafes or ball
rooms, however. they strengthen their
domestic ties, for mother, whatever her
age is becoming keener than ever on
dancing.
The modern husband, whatever his
age, doesn't murmur when he has to
take up dancing. That Is the only way
he can keep an eye on his wife,"

than the colossal expenditure OF am

every thousand rifle bullets fired away
one man was killed.
In the late war, il all the metal ex-
pended in ammunition were reduced
10 rifle bullets, no fewer than 10000
would be required TO kill man. OF
course, the calculation is rendered diff
hcult BY the fact that millions of tons
OF metal were expended in putting UP
oarrages and the like, and in intensive
oombardments of the enemy's posi-
tons, but if it is safe to say that for
every man killed in the war about three
tons of metal were expended.
Such a calculation is staggering and
yet comforting, for if the old average
had held good, all the armies engaged
in the war, vast though they were.
would have been annihilated to the

PRODUCT OF MANY BRAINS
seat Musical Instrument, the Organ.
Had Its Inception Over Two
Thousand Years AGO.

More than two thousand years ago
barber in Alexandria discovered
that In moving his mirror air was
forced through the tubes which were
common in mirrors Ut that time. This
caused curious musical sound TO he
emitted.
80 struck was he by this popularity
that he set about making an instru-
ment which was the foundation of the
modern organ.
After several experiments he mad.
a water-fute, in which air was forced
by bellows through an inverted cone
which led to flutes controlled by a key
board, the pressure being kept uni
form by water
Alter thousand years a rival in
strument made its appearance. This
was similar pattern, but, instead OF
water, weights regulated the pressure.
In 951 an organ was erected at Win
chester, England. Ii had twenty-six
bellows and ten pipes to each key. The
TWO men who sat ut the keyboard
blew and sweated enormously"
Later, firm of organ makers in
Germany succeeded in erecting the
first really big instrument. The prim-
airy stops did not differ very much
from those of today, although various
novelties were introduced.
Among the innovations were the
nightingale and cuckoo stops. while
others represented cock-crowing and
goat-bleatinS. Though these novelties
have now fallen into disuse, an organ
with one of these nightingale stops is
still To be seen in Rome.
1t was not until the Nineteenth CEN
fury that the problem of the regula-
ton of air presSurcs vas solved by
the introduction of the hydraulic
blower.

Virgin Land in the North

For 49, years white men have been
travelling the Mackenzie river route to
the Arctic, yet that stream flows
through "a land the possibilities of

Lonely Hotel Bedrooms.

"What is the loneliest place in the
world ?" asks the Gideon, organ of the
travelling Christian salesman of this
country. The answer it gives is the
hotel bedroom. Those who know il
best are the commercial travellers,
many of whom spend 60 per cent Of
their time in the hotel bedroom, far
from their homes and relatives. They
know its dreariness and isolation, its
poverty of social intercourse and op-
portunity, its baroness Of outlook and
uplifting influences. 1t is loneliness
exaggerated by sumptuous furnishings,
by the hustle and commotion of hun
dreds of people all about one, by the
very earnest and well-intentioned cf-
forts of arrangements to create the
"homelike" atmosphere which cannot
be manufactured or initiated without
the presence of family or relatives or
friends.
Hence the effort to place Bibles in
hotel rooms. There are approximately
100000 statesmen on the road on this
continent and probably 100000 hotel
bedrooms. SO the field is large.
