I3H. .by .International News' Service.) 'iThe third movement of our dance Il lustrates the whirl perfectly We might call the other two movements a prepara tion gather than a direct ernbodtment of what the dance can be when undertaken by. people who Intend to make It a suc cess. ' The third movement icomea' under the head of tho Devil Pivot. Rather a sensational title, but still a characteristic one, as you wll all agree, hj , , Thts third movenfent begins with a backward .jBklil which Is allowed to morse gi'Ace'fuIly" jnto a very simple run around step. -Then thetwo dahccrsgpln around about three times very rapidly. -'thV girl passing under the man's' arm. and then' comes the dip, tho girl supported" for th? traction of a mlnuate on tho man's knee us illustrnted In tho first picture. This limbers the body sufficiently bo as to make the more intricate , bodily move ments of the pivot Itself easy to attain. That Is; tho spirit of the1 dance Is awak tned, tho abandonment of the body to the sway and lilt of the dance music bo comes a pleasure, and tho Intoxication of the dance movements ' themselves are really enjoyed thoroughly. What Is a dance and' what does t mean It not pleasure to those who participate In it? "The pIvQt begins with & , whirlwind movement around ho room, as described Jn the . Popularity. This whirlwind move ment's very rapid, and while going very fast, the dancers separate and pivot separately, turnlne toward the left In a single pivot. Then thoy come together again and pivot rapidly In the whirlwind movement In one spot. The stationary pivot helps a great deal In maintaining the balance, and Is therefore a great deal easier than the pivot around the room. Then quite as suddenly as tbe first dip the girl slips dow'n, keeping her limbs rigid and allowing the tnan to hold her,' The hard part of this movement rests upon the mall, for It Is very difficult to be always quite ready tor the weight of tho girl, particularly an tho whirlwind movement Is kept up right to the time of" the dip. However, -the' girl rests for Just an Instant In n sideways prone position on tho man's Knee, as Illustrated, and then tho two arc up again and away. "After this tho whirl Is again resumed, and any original steps can easily be In troduced and added to this feature Of course, rapid dance music Is used for the devil pivot, and It would bp well to begin with n few steps at n time while the dance Is still strange. A fuller compro henslon of the entire Idea means a bet-. ter execution of tho steps. Don't you think so? 'I hope you all enjoy the Miller whir! as much as we have enjoyed originating the steps and describing thorn, to you. It has helped us both to a fuller knowledge of what we ourselves have been. trying) to portray," tMysteries :d Scien, - wJl - M &4min. Why an Electric Fan Cannot Drive a Boajt. by Blowing &Hl U3clIllF6 ;.:Wind Against toe .-Sail rWhere 'Ignorance is Costly .garett p.uviss. , . . "If an electric fan could be made large enough to throw a sufficient amount of wind to move a small sailboat, and such n fan was placed on tho end of a boat with the wind. from the fan blow ing against the sail on tho very boat the 'fan Is on, is It possible that 11 could move the boat? The argu ment is that tho fan, being on the tame boat as the call, cannot move Itself. But as the air detaches Itiolf from Uj'cian, and hits the- "sail, my opinion is that it can, provided it'.has the strength to move the boat... 'please glvo an "answer." This question 'is worth answe'rlng for two reasons: First, because It is a woman who asks It, and, second, because it Involves a principal of phyaffs that ought to bo universally understood, and Ignorance of which may lead to the waste of .both time and money upon Inventions that will not Work. Tho writer of. tho question, thinks that becauso-the air, 'as she expresses it, 's "detached from" the fan when It starts off to strike the sail, it ought to act like an ordinary wnd and push the boat before' ft; '"But she would' .not think o if she -reflected that the particles of air driven from the fan resemble a swarm of bullets shot from a gun. i vThe air particles get their force from action "(that of tho wind) Is not upon the, upon the car and the reactlop upon the, ;h'o fan a3"the. b'ullets' getMhelfs 'froml boat, - but upon tho grcnt.'.mass of' th'o groutiOTontslde.. "Tie 'same thlng' hap-; tho the gun, ind just as the gun recoils with a force e,qual to that which it imparts to the bullets, so the fan, whether driven by e-Ioctrlclty or steam .or turned, by, hand, Inevitably recoils with the same amount of force that It Imparts to tho nlr. To make clearer the comparison be tween a stream of Millets from a., gup and a, stream of wind from an electric fan, Imagine a Maxim gun placed at the lear of a boat and ari Impenetrable-taget at the front, and 'then suppose that the gun should hurl a continuous current of bullets against the target. Anybody can nee that the boat would not be .driven forward,' because tho recoil of the gun 'would constantly force It backward with the same energy with which the bullets. striking the target, forced It ahead. But If the gun were placed' on shore or op another support Its stream of bul lets, striking the target, would drive tho boat forward, because then their effect would be like that . of a wind, blowing freely across the water and having no connection with anything on the boat. An ordinary wind is able to drive a boat whose sail it strikes because Its re- atmosphere, or "upon the earth. Tho principle 'to be remembered, and Ignorance or forgetfulness of which has cost tho happiness of ' "more than ono uneducated " Inventor's "Jlfe, . Is- that no mechanical force can bo produced with out an expenditure of energy preclsoly equivalent. Never forget that! there can bo no action without equal reacttau, and that If the action takes Its' origin within tho limits of the thing that Is acted upon the reaction will also be felt within those same limits. Your electric tan would drlvo a toy vessel placed on the deck of your boat, although It Would not drive the boat Itself, because, with regard to the toy vessel, tho breeze from,, the fan would have an independent origin, like an ordi nary wind blowing over a lake, and Its reaction .would not be upon the toy, but upon the boat over 'whose deck tho toy glided. If you are Inside a car and push upon the car you cannot .move it, an you could If you stood upon the jrroundi out side and pushed. In'tho-first case your action and reaction'' are 'both upon the car, but In -the second-case the' 'action Is pens If you- suspend a par above your, headland llf t ' yourself by pultlng1 down', on It: and afterward put tile" bar under your fce "'and' 'fry to lift yourself by pulling up'on; It. You succeed In lifting yourself -in' the first case, but you fall In tho 'second, because when the bar Is under your feet tho .force' of your pull' reactN upon your own body and urges tt down flust as much us tip, ' Tho only real difficulty Is to see that' the principle remains tho same when tho forco Is transmitted by tome Inter mediate medium, such as the air. but this ought ,to be mado clear by the II lustration which 1 have suggested of a stream of bullets taking tho place of thtt wind created by a fan. . There Is one effect of the electric fan which might surprise youIt would tend to drive, your boat buokward Instead of forward, it would pus'h against air like the propeller of an aeroplane, and to make It drl,ve your boat forward you would have to face tho fan' around, so that Its reaction would be upon the ntmosphere behind Instead of ahead of tho boat,' and fn cither case your sail would be not only useless, but an encumbrance, Office Holders 'V Elimination of Spoljs Will Attract M,en, of Quality Export Testimony, with the ' Disadvantages KU'inlnnted, Is Possible Cheap and Easily Made, But Ends a Cough.

So long, as- Imman nature remains' the same, expert testimony oannot bo relied upon to: 'contribute to a upanlmous ver dict cither of Conviction or of acquittal. Especially must this be the case when such testimony is employed both by the prosecution and tho defense. Its natural effect in such cases will bo to produce confusion of mind and divergence or Judgment, although It should be suld that so much criticism ha. been passed upon that kind of evidence that with the ,av erago Intelligent Juror it probably counts for less and less either for the defendant or against him. The expert that Is called by the prosecution is paid by the proso cutlon and -will m all likelihood testify for the prosecution, and vice versa of the one called for the defense. There may. Ik) no conscious dishonesty on either side, but it Is known to counsel what his expert witness will testify be fore he Is put on- the, rtand, and the av erage man win serve tne man who pays him. There is a way, however, by which all the "advantages of expert testimony can be secured and all Its dlsadrantuges elim inated; and that can be accomplished by the appointment of a standing board of experts, whose members shall ho subject at all times to summons from the noun pot from counsel for the prosecution nor from counsel for the defense, but from the court the entire matter being thus kept In the control of the presiding Judge andj the expurte feature, to that extent, rulp.d out. 8uch an arrangement would mako avail able the wisdom of those best fitted to pass Judgment upon jiestlons like In sanity, a wisdom whose valve , under present conditions, largely sacrificed.

One hundred and seven years ago, Jan imrv n. 1S07. the British government issued tho famous "Orders In Council," a plcco of work that was desllned to mako a whole lot of his tory that England did not reckon on. The Orders In Council were meant as a counter to Napoleon for h s "Continental Sys tem." which had declared tho British Isles to be In a state of blockade, and all comineico anl correspondence with them forbid den. KVery Kmc- lishman found In countries occupied by French troops or their allies was made prisoner of war; all property belonging to an English subject was deemed a law ful prlxo, and any vessel coming from Bngland, or an English colony, was for. bidden to enter the ports of Kranco or of the countries that were allied with it. Giving Napoleon a Ilolsnd for his Oli ver, the Orders m Council compelled the ships of all neutral nations to touih at an English port tp Import of export mer (hundise, paying custom duties averag ing 6 per cent, the ships neglecting this precaution being declared lawful prites. An will be readily understood, this game of Interdict between the great Kreneh gambler and the British government fet tered at one strlko the commerce of Europe carried annoyance Into all famil ies, arbitrarily modified the conditions of ail existence and wrought havoc on every hand. England, however, forgot to modify the rigor of the Orders In Council In favor of tho United States, and right there It made a great mistake; for It was tho Orders in Council, more than anything else, that brought on the War of 181J-15, Involving It In fresh troubles, when It al. ready had Its hands full with tho French emperor, and laying uppn Its already overtaxed treasury an additional expen. dlture of many millions of pounds, to say nothing of the loss of life, concluding with the fearful slaughter by "Old Hick ory" at New Orleans, IV It Thnt Jle Ouaht to Know Her.
