Two Broken Limbs.

New Years day was a day of great
pleasure to many people, and to 9TH
ers a day of misfortune. Many chill

down the hills. Coasting is a. great
sport and also at times a. very danger
Gus one, Especially on the steep hills.
The hills were crowded with boys and
girls, both large and small. The schoon-
ers are specially dangerous and some
times they run into children breaking
their sleds and also their legs or
arms.
New Years morning while the boys
and girls were coasting down the hill
ON Fifth South street and having a
great deal of fun a serious accident oc-
Cured to a boy NAMED Thomas SUIT
ton, Who resides ait the corner of Fifth
South and Ninth East streets. He
was on a schooner with some other
boys and as they were coming at a
great speed they accidentally struck a
tree. The steersman, Thomas Sutton,
had his leg broken just above the knee
One of the girls who was on the hill
at the time kindly lifted him on her
sleigh and took him to his home. His
mother had been sick for a long time
and lit was a very sad house.
Later in the day a little girl named
Mamie CaYanaugh was coasting down
the hill ON Sixth South. When she got
as far as the telegraph pole in the
middle of the road ON Ninth East street
a schooner struck her breaking her
sleigh all to pieces and also her leg just
below the knee She cried for help
and some girls came running to her
and lifted her up in their arms
They saw that her leg was hanging
by the skin and was broken very badly.
They carried her to her home where she
was cared for

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
BRIG. YOUNG, A STREET CAR CON-
DUCToR, THE VICTIM.
Knocked Down and Severely Hurt
About the Head-LOses $50,
Mostly Money Belonging to the
Company.

Brig Young. a street car conductor
on the city railway line, was held up.
slugged and robbed of about $40 be-
tween l and o'clock this morning.
He was on his car about Fifth North
street when the car broke down in
some way. The motorman and the
conductor worked for a while to right
it, but their efforts, being unavailing,
Brig started to walk to the car house
to get assistance and when on First
South street near the Utah Slaughter
ing companys place he met three men.
One of them flashed a revolver at his
head and ordered him to hold up his
hands. Brig, instead of obeying the
order, grappled the hold-up when he
was struck on the head from behind
by one of the other men. The blow
knocked him senseless and when he
came to the men We're gone and his
pockets empty. He had about $40 on
his person, mostly money belonging to
the company. His head was badly cut
from the blow or the fall or both
The affair was reported at police
headquarters and it is probable the
miscreantS will be arrested.

THE LATEST KITE.

Various suggestions have been made
for the improvement of the balloon,
enabling it to be efficient in windy
weather. but L determined at the out
set to do away altogether with the
tickle and troublesome element, gas.
Aerial machines furnished with screw
propellerS could doubtless be made to
ascend, but then again heavy transport
would be required to carry the en-
gines and fuel for working them. Then
my thoughts soon turned to that sim
pie toy, the kite, and ON that we'll
known principle ] based my new ma
chine. Thus the wind, which is so
detrimental to ballo0ning, now became
my friend and helpmate. Yet, let me
at once explain, L do not consider it
an absolute necessity. AS a SOCIOLOGY
runs to get his kite to rise, so this
aerial apparatus may be toWed by run
ming men or horses, and so caused to
ascend in calm weather. After some
years of experimenting with small
kites of all shapes and forms, [ i'm
creased the size till l made one thirty
feet high. AT length [ arrived at a
shape and adjustment of tackle that
practically removed all unsteadiness
and liability to capsize. That awkward
appendage, the tail, was discarded. and
by increasing the number of kites,
steadiness and ease of manipulation
were increased. And now l think the
apparatus is at last approaching the
practical stage.
The latest machine consists of va
rying number usually four or siXl of
sails, of a f1attened hexagonal shape.
looking not unlike the square sails of
a ship. These are connected, one be-
hind the other to the ground line, from
which latter is suspended a basket car.
A parachute is spread out above the
car in case of accident. The number of
kites used depends upon the strength
of the wind, and thus the stronger the
pressure the less is the area presented,
so that the strain on the retaining
ropes is always about the same. This
apparatus has now been tried on
number of occasions, and under many
different circumstances of weather. and
although, through lack of wind, or
rather insufficiency of kite power, it
has occasionally not lifted as we'll as l
should have liked, and frequent mis-
haps, the result of inexperience, have
occurred, yet on the whole is has be-
haved very WELL and has generally
carried its man easily and steadily to a
considerable height. I have myself
been lifted over 100 feet high, and had
1 not been firmly held down by a, rope
I might have risen much higher. Never
once have I experienced the least I'M
comfortable motion. When the car has
been let UP to the full extent of the
rope, equivalent to a height of some
400 feet, it has invariably doated stead
lily and well. The. ropes and tackle
have. with few exceptions easily rem
edied, always stood their work we'll.
and those seeing the apparatus for the
first time have generally expressed sur
prise at it's ease and steadiness.-Na-
tional Review.

RUSSIA BEFORE SHE SWALLOWS.

process is that pursued by Russia to-
ward her southern neighbors in the far
east. When the process has gone on
long enough. when everything that is
firm and strong has been carefully oh
liberated by judicious treatment, and
when the right opportunity occurs, tie
gulp is made. For years Corea has
been subjected to this masculating pol

fit and proper subject for passing into

The design Of Russia had long been
patent to all onlookers. The Chinese
were well aware of it. and were doing
all they could in their childish way to
prevent its contamination. But China
was not the only country which watch
ed with apprehension the action of
Russia in the Hermit kingdom. Japan
had seen all along. far more clearly
than China, the danger that doomed in
the distance if Russia's policy should
be crowned with success. She deter

had declared her unwillingness to sup

the contest was watched by the real
enemies of Japan at Pekin. AS the
Chinese armies were vanquished in the
field and their ships were sunk at sea,
the fear Of the formation of a Japan
powerful enough to check Russia's on

the spirits of her diplomatists. But
