OMAHA, June 8. To the Editor of The
Bee: I read an interesting editorial some
few days ago In your paper on the dance
as responsible for many marriages, and
propounded by the International Composers
of Dance Music and Dance Masters at their
recent meeting In Paris. The London
Times you also refer to as devoting its
space to the answers as they come in from
once upon a time pupils.
The question asked is a reply to the poet
Pope, who knew what he was talking
about, even though the following lines
were Written nearly 200 years ago:
True ease In wooing comes from art, not
chance,
Aa those wed easiest who have learned to
dance.
The poet refers to ths power of rhythm
on our minds aa one of the arts, and In
this instance to that form of music aa the
dance. The arts of rest are architecture,
sculpture, painting and engraving, and are
pecMcally known as the Una arts an old
definition that we still retain. The arts
of motion are poetry, music and their sub
divisions, such as oratory, the dance, song,
the1 drama and the opera.
Borne man of letters has recently said
that poetry ranks first of all the arts and
that muslo is last which seems to open
plenty of room for discussion. Rhythm Is
at least the half of muslo, for the reason
that all like at least to imitate the dance,
and this Is true of even deaf mutes. Their
eyes see the gliding, uniform motion and
maybe their skin is conscious of the even
and measured vibrations. Borne people
cannot appreciate the tone part of music,
nor the gamut nor diapason 'of tones and
yet a'tone In itself Is rhythmic or It would
not be a tone.
Rhythm is the closest analogy that we
have between art and life, because it Is
motion, and motion is life Itself. It a
still a disputed question whether a poem
snouia necessarily be rhythmlo and da
pends greatly on one's definition of poe
try.
Rhythm is nothing more nor lesa than
smooth, unjostled motion or movement in
; even measure. Like a humming bird
dancing in the air mid lilacs and shim
tnerlng In prismatic light at the edge of
a rainbow. Or like Louie Fuller in
skirt dance In vaudeville. These are two
examples of rhythm, and though maybe
poetic are not poetry surely.
What, now, la the dance? It la a modi
ncation or one or other of the two
rhythms of muslo (In poetry called dac
tyie ana trochee) arranged to time in
measure so that the accent comes in at
regular intervals and such that our feet
can master smoothly and evenly, so that
- one can go almost to sleep, like in
Strauss waits, or as the baby does In the
, arms of Its mother by gentle but even
rocking. The danctng masters know all
this and much more, but they ask what
rhythm can do in a psychological way or
why it appeals to our minds.
v o an know of . Helen Keller, that
wonderful young woman, born deaf (henc-s
- dumb) and blind, highly educated and re
fined, and, while I have never read such.
1 nave so nmm put mat She can dance
and that well. Her skin ia the only ac
Oess she has to the outside world other
than the senses of taste and smell. By
her skin she Is even enlightened in the
art. It appears then that she must be
in soms rhythmic accord or have some
kind of perception by which she Is cap
able or allying herself ao closely "in
touch" and eyropathy with others through
this same medium, the skin. If ao, thW
Is w hat Is meant by a "muscular" or
"sixth sense. There may be soraetnlng to

emotions resembling, or Identical and In
affinity with what another feels, or, as we
say, "the thrill of love." How wonderful
Is the human mind to reflect the senses:
One touch of nature makes the whole
world kin. Shakespeare.
She starts, she moves, she reems to feel
The thrill ot life along her keel.
launching of the Ship.
All the world loves a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
We feel sympathy In the rhythm of the
dance, we feel It in the love and affection
we have for those who are dependent upon
us. Thus, as "those who lift, those who
lean." Telmholti said that "love la such a
feeling of sympathy, but unfortunately
music can not represent it directly as
such." We see sympathy In the laugh, the
mile, the sob, the kiss, the hug, the
blush, the handclasp, for the same muscles
respond in another, and this Is ail rhyth
mic. Sympathy Is then the union f "two
hearts that beat as one," and surely this is
rhythmlo.
We see it in that gentleness and kindness
that a woman loves from her protector
better than good looks. We see it In that
song In the opera of "The Silver Slipper"
as VTesste, You Are the Only Only, Tessle
My Love," even though the poet Byron (an
authority on love) differs, thus:
"Man's love Is of man's life a thing apart,
'Tie woman's whole existence."
The waits rhythm (dactyle) takes prece
dence In love making (which is sympathy),
both In poetry and in muslo (especially In
minor modes), of all dance rhythms, and
somewhere here lies the solution of the
danctng masters' query, although the waits
was hardly known in Pope's time, unless
the stately minuet
Rhythm like muslo Is but another lan
guage, and Charles Darwin suggests that
the lyric poem might in some way go back
to the call of the male for the female at
the mating time. The peacock has nothing
rhythmlo about him, if we Judge from his
ugly voice, but he understands how to
flash his brilliant tall. The turkey gob
bler struts and spreads his wing feathers
on the ground in the barnyard and scratches
them In rhythmic stylo on the ground,
which Is music for the turkeys at least
he seems to think so. The cricket and
the katydid rub their hard wings against
their hard bodies and the tigress leaps
if one gives the baby tiger call nearby.
Mr. and Mrs. Peckham, the famous nat
uralists of Milwaukee, describe how a fe
male spider, an enormous creature, lines the
little males up before her and they exe
cute at) kinds of fantastio dances and
antics, to show their prowess, for they
are ugly little things and have no fine
plumage. Thus we see that while nature
teaches pretty clothes, pretty faces and
figures and such on the part of woman to
attract the. man, nevertheless, 1 is the
power of rhythm that comes closer to an
affiliation of the sexes than fine clothes
or anything else, and when combined with
the round dance, especially the waits. It
attunes things closely. This is the rea
son that some are opposed to dancing, for
nature maybe Is trying to help the dancing
masters make marriages. "On with the
dance; let Joy be uncon fined" that we may
hear no more of the danger of race suicide.
If the danctng masters prove their p'oint.
This Is her design and is a part of what
Is known as natural selection. We shall
never understand this sort of thing, at
least until we know more about a "sixth
sense," and science will need gets its crow
bar to work to pry it open if possible
that we may reason from cause and effect.
As It Is now, all belongs to the province
of art, for the acme of art Is to depict the
spiritual in nature our humanity. And
while a genius may commune In poetry,
muslo and painting and peep behind the
veil, we other mortals must look pn and
listen, since the "Almighty haa set Ills
canons 'gainst" our knowing anything of
our own minds. Hence when we under
stand the deeper meaning of rhythm we
hail also know how to reconcile mankind
on earth with1 harmony and the rolllenlum
will be here, whatever that may be.

Its perfect adaptation to popular use and

of Adams and no large sum of money to
transform Into perhaps the most beautiful
park In the whole system, .leaving out
Rlvervlew, with which, for obvious rea
sons. It can not be properly compared. Its
burial under adverse conditions -for so long,
preventing access to it, and the sneers
about "cow pasture," and all that sort of
thing, have not prevented the growth of
trees tqat were wisely planted years ago
on this fine park property, which have now
become suddenly Invaluable now that the
street railroad oompany haa fought Its way
over many difficulties to within a hat
throw of long derided Fontanelle park. I
wish whoever may read this short mention
of It to examine the connection which Fon
tanelle is to have by trolley with all parts
of the city, Including South Omaha, under
the fine plans and broad enterprise of the
Omaha street railway company. The time
Is nearly come when Fontanelle wtll bo

people. Nobody need doubt It. '

measurement of the future of Omaha re

simists, I cannot help it. I am willing to let
Mr. Smith be laughed at for a season as
I was laughed at for many long and weary
years tor saying that Omaha would one
day contain 60,000 people. At any rate, no
man capable of Intelligent observation and
Judgment now doubts that within twenty
five years the population of this town will
reach several hundred thousand whose
health and happiness will be helped and
promoted beyond human power to esti

steady stream of revenue from the Increase

DISCOVER GOLD IN SCOTLAND
Trae of Metal Found Before, bnt
' This Is First Instance
of Vain.
GLASGOW, June $. (Special.) Much In
terest has been created by the discovery
of gold-bearing quarts on the Stronachul
ltn estate. Loch Fynslde. Argyllshire, be
longing to R. G. Campbell. The existenoe
of gold in Scotland has, of course, been
known for many years and some time ago
an attempt was made to reopen gold dig
gings In the Klldonan district of Suther
landshlre, dating from the middle of last
century. In that case the reaulta obtained
were not sufficient to warrant the continu
ance of the operations. In many other dis
tricts traces of gold and other precious
metals are to be found In the rocks, but
the ors now discovered In Argyllshire gives
promise of being richer than anything
uiwierro anown in ocoiiana. There are old
copper and lead workings In the district,
which were examined about a year ago, a
sample of quarts being carefully analysed.
It was found to contain gold aa well as
copper and lead. The quarts so far dealt
with haa been obtained almost on the sur
face and the analysis has shown that it
contains a very high value In gold. But
there is still uncertainty as to how ' far
down It goes, as no sinkings have as yet
been made. At present the whole project
appears to have been In a preliminary
stage, but tt is understood arrangements
are being made for ascertaining with tol
erable certainty to what extent the gold
really exists. Recently a trial shipment of
twenty tons waa sent to Swansea to test
the value of the discovery from a commer
cial point of view, with the result that
the ore met with a ready sale.

SOCIALIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS
New Method Km ployed In London
don to I
Instill Idena In Blinds o
Veaog,
LONDON, June 8.-(Speclal.)-The soclol
Ist Sunday schools continue to prosper and
some of tho members of the liberal govern
ment are trying to plan a way to put an
end to these Sunday schools, as they are at
present constituted without Interfering wttli
the traditional British right of free speech.
Here are some extracts from the socialist
Sunday school catechism:
How many classes are there?
Two. Aristocrats and working people.
Who are the arlstocratsT
Those who enjoy wealth without working
for It.
Who" are the workers?
Men who work for wages and receive only
a portion of what they earn, the other go
ing to keep the idle classes.
Who owns the factories and warehouses T
The rich capitalist class, who will not em
ploy men unless they can make a profit.
What Is the consequence?
That men able and willing to work for
food cannot get food for their wives and
children.
Do men and women dlo of hunger In Eng
land?
Yes, In the midst of plenty.
Do savages starve In the midst of plenty?
No, when there is plenty of food they all
rejoice and feast and make merry.
Here are a few lines from the socialist
Sunday school hymn book:
These kings dnlilo us with their power.
We want no war within the land;
Let soldiers strike; for peace call louder,
Lay down arms and Join hand in hand.
Should these vile monsters still determine
Heroes to make us In despite,
They'll know full soon the kind of vermin
Our bullets hit in this lust fight.
