' Some months ago Miss Duncan

But her dances have not been stopped.
So, when a short time ago it was an

erect, in Paris, her Temple of Art, and
give In It new Interpretations of the

Then, the story goes, things began to
happen. Miss Duncan selected a site
for her temple only to find, after nego

was not "available." Another stte and
another similar experience. And so on.

COPPER BOULDER
" WITH A HISTORY
Ontonagon Specimen in Smith
sonian Institution the First
; From Superior District.
Washington, Nov. 10. Among the geo
logical f.iid mlneraloglcal collections of
the I. nltcd States national museum Is
:an odd boulder of solid copper, known
s the Ontonagon boulder, wliirli hus
a very interesting history. This large
-mass f.f copper ims been in tlie posses
sion of the Smithsonian Institution
since 1SC0, and Hfc recently been moved
to the new museum building, where It
is now on exhibition in the southeast
corner or the east hall on the second
floor.
The boulder has the appearance of a
dull bronze-colored rock, much chipped
and worn, it Is 314 feet long, 3 feet
wide and 1 '4 feet in its thrrlteJit part,
and owing to tbo great density of cop
per, weishs nearly three tons, a large
welrjht forjKuch a relative small bulk,
Was Known to Indians.
Tor ages this remarkable mass of
copper lay en the west bank of the
Ontonagon river In the upper peninsula
of Michigan, where it was known for
many years by the Chippewa Indians
of that region. It was not until 1766,
however, that the first white man, Al
exandi r Henry, an fcngllsh adventurer
anc" tradsr, visited this remarkable
spclmon. During the next 73 years many
explorers and scientists followed Hen.

well known as a mlneraloglcal curios
ity. It wjjs undoubtedly a valuable
specimen orth several thousands of
doMars, but its weight prevented any
one from- making away with It. In 1841,
JuMus fcldred, a hardware merchant of
Detroit, purchased this copper rock
from the Chippewa Indians, on whose
lands It was located, and two years
latei, after many difficulties, succeeded
In transporting it down the Ontonagon
river, through Lake Superior to Sault
Stn. Marie, and thence to Detroit, where
it was phicrd on exhibition for a brief
period. Soon after its arrival, the gov
ernment claimed It, and towards the
enn of 1843 it was shipped to Wash
ington and deposited In the yard of the
quartermasters bureau of the war de
partment, where it remained until 18G0,
when it was transferred to the Smith
sonian Institution.'
Eldred Was Repaid. '
Pome years later tho government re
paid Mr. Lldred for his time and energy
In securing this boulder, congress hav
ing appropriated the sum of J5.644.90
for lus relief.
This specimen represents the first
corslderable quantity of copper from
the Lake Superior region, a district
which has since become one of the Im
portant copper-producing regions of the
world. H undoubtedly came out of the
adjacent copper-bearing rocks, and was
probably transported southward a short
distance during tp glacial period In the
glacial dritt which now covers that
count ry.
'1 he museum specimen, though large
and interesting. Is UDt by any means
thi largest solid piece of copper ever
found.' Copper messes of Immense sie
are encountered from time to time in
the mines of Lake Superior, and the
Irtrgest recorded was found in 1857 in
the Minnesota mine. It. measured 45
fed ! length. 12 feet at its greatest
width and more than eight feet at its
thickest part, and contained over 90 per
cent pure copper. The total weight was
about 4 it) tons.
was $1.25. leslerday the same grade
sold for i. Similar advances have
been noted in other grades.
The great scarcity of anthracite coal
is said by dealers to have had an effgft
In raising the price of the bituminous
varieties. I neasipeTss among consum
ers is declared to be another cause, but
the shortage of cars.V which restricts
production, is declared vo be the great
est factor. "V
ReHef in the car shortage hi expected
the latter part of this monfci, when
construction work on the railroads has
been completed and the autumn, crops
have been moved. On October 1i there
was a shortage of 31,579 cars, accord
ing to the report of the Amerfca.q.Jtall
way association. This has prevented
the movement of cars from mines to the
distributing and consuming centers.
Retail dealers In Chicago declared
yesterday that they were refusing to
deliver more than one load of coal to
each patron. They are also refusing. to
fill orders for winter supplies at resi
dences, they said. Enough coal is on
hand to supply the immediate needs of
both large and small consumers.

COAL DEALERS HAVING

Chicago. Isov. 16. Ahothcr coal fam
ine, greater than the shortage that
handicapped Chicago last winter, is im

Prices of all kltidof coal to the small
consumer havl) befin "raised from 25 to

The railroads are. blamed for the
present situation, coal dealers averring
"that an'titiusuaT shortage of cars" pre

MOTORMAN-VALET
SUES FOR HIS WAGES
New ork, Nov. 16. The value of the
services of a motorman-who' acts, as
barber, masseur and manicure, was be
fore the appellate division today, arid
resulted in the reversal of a Judgment
for $2000, obtained by Joseph MoDer
motf, from the esta(e of Patrick Dunn.
McDermott sued the estate for $&D80
on the ground that he had served Dunn
from 1899 to 1907, shaving him, trim
ming his hair, manicuring, massaging
and bathing lum. Ar jury gave him

relatives of McDermotfs wife. Their
testimony conflicted with that of the
witnesses for the estate, one of whom
was a regular barber, who shaved Dunn

believes that the case should not ihave
been admitted to tho jury, because Mc

Justice Dowllng finds that McDo'r
