J-ynchburg.” Me entertained some
friends at Murphy’s Hotel at Rich

he always opposed Mr Cleveland's ci
vil service ideas, asked him what he
thought of the civil service law? He
said: “1 attended a civil service exami
nation at Washington once to see how
one was conducted. This Is what I
heard: ‘After examining several ap
plicants for positions and asking them
what I thought, many unnecessary
questions, they fihally came to a very
intelligent man who seemed thorough

topography of this and other coun

different large streams, the ancient

TANGO AND TURKEY TROT
A "DANCING DISEASE?"
Atlanta, Ga. —Are the tango dancers
and turkey-trotters and Castle walkers
all suffering from a strange nervous
disease? Some local physicians are
inclined to answer yes.
Bewildered by the übiquity of the
tango and the trot, confused by the
cries of their defenders that they are
but an expression of rhythmic right
eousness, dazed by the screams of
their assailants that they are nothing
but syncopated sin, a Georgia physi
cian has discovered that there is such
a thing as a ' dancing disease” and
that it was known as far back as the
middle ages.
Under the encyclopedic heading
“Dancing Disease,” the following may
be found:
"An epidemic nervous-dlisorder.
which can be propagated like a physi
cal contagion. In 1734 during the cel
ebration of the festival of St. John
at Aix-la-Ohappelle, the streets be
came crowded with men and women
of all ranks and ages who commenced
dancing In a wild and frantic man
ner."
The article goes on to say that the
mania spread to other cities and gave
rise to much public disorder. Can it
The Curb-Bit of a Torrent
Down at Panama we own a jungle. Through it runs an untamed, emo
tional river. Sometimes it loafs along at a depth of 2 feet.
On busy days it shoots down from the hills a million gallons of water
between the ticks of a clock.
Some countrymen of yours have tamed that wild river.
They have slipped a gigantic bridle into its mouth. Men call that bridle
“Gatun Dam.”
Imagine a solid wall higher than a church steeple, as thick at its base as
10 city blocks, a mile and a half long, and sloping so gradually to its crest
that it looks like an eternal hill.
Through that man-made hill runs a spillway for the surplus waters and a
passage-way for the gliding ships. That passage-way they call “Gatun
Looks.”
Guarding that passage-way stand the main lock gates, shown in this picture. Do
you know that the steel lock gates at Panama weigh 1,200 tons apiece, and yet are so deli
cately hung that they open and close at the touch of an electric button?
