ter Christmas. the military gentleman
with the triplicate name, and his effort
to inveigle the United States minister to
Denmark, Lauritz S. Swenson, into stand
ing sponsor for a statement which Captain
Christmas desired to have cabled to Sec
rotary Hay. AS a special inducement he
offered to pay the cable tolls
In this statement which Captain Christ
mas gave to the press through Ritzau's
bureau before it could possibly have
reached Minister Swenson, he charges
that Niels Gron was employed by the
Danes to delay the sale of the Danish
Antilles. He directly accuses Gron OF
having garbled and falsified his report
TO the government on the alleged bribery.
The doughty captain denies that he ever
1ntimated to President Horring that
brides were necessary to effect the sales
OF the island and that ten per cent COM
mission was the first essential for the
sale. Furthermore he declares that he
never named any congressman to whom he
had promised money. -.-..
The banking house of Seligmann, he
; says, never guaranteed any funds to be
used in effecting the sale.
AS Minister SWenson was not in any
manner involved in the Christmas or
! Gron affairs he was naturally greatly
surprised by the request to officially for
ward Christmas latest statement.
While Mr.. Swenson did not intimate
| what course he would pursue, the paper
assumed that he would ignore the request,
as the Danish officials did when Christ
mas sought to induce them to forward his
statements to Washington.
National Tidende points out several
glaring contradictions in this last state

port to the government differs widely

expresses desire to know which are true

Diavolo! The name fits Had this
mans extraordinary feat been witnessed
by an audience Of 1902, that audience
would certainly have thought him the
devil. -a-.-...- s :.
When the Elks' carnival committee in
cluded Diavolo among it's list of special
attractions, the committee builded better
Than 1t knew. Circus managers in all
parts of the world were after him. Bid
ding was lively and nearly prohibitive.
Jabour, the Turk whose immense oriental
display is secured for the carnival,
stepped into the breach and paid the
price. .'..s e.. .
The price was very high. Jabour imme-
dlately notified the carnival managers
that they would have to pay heavily for
Diavolo, outside the regular carnival
features. This is point still in negotia-
ton, because the carnival management
understood that Diavolo was to come
anyhow. At any rate, Diavolo will be
here which is the important thing from
the public's point of view - s.a: 49,. ~.
Diavolo's looping of the loop" is with
out any question the most daring feat
Of bicycle riding ever seen. 1t is not a
trick, but a triumph of daring and
intricate calculation. = -:

NAUTICAL brown study before becomin g
SATISFIED tnaC the loop was a. necnanlcal
possibility. 1t seemed a wildly impossible
thing to believe, that a man could be
made to ride upside down, almost literally
to climb a wall, cross ceiling and come
down the other wall, but that is what
looping the loop amounts to. But Pres
colt, after calculating propositions of
technical intricacy for months, made up
his mind that the thing was feasible.
Then hee built the loop. The illustration

edge. To see Diavolo: make his ride is to
get a new sensation. People who are
bothered with weak hearts had better not
go. The spectacle is fascinating, awe
inspiring. At first one is incredulous.

The force which holds the wheel against
the inside of the circle, even when all
other forces are eXerted in an opposite
direction, is called entrifugal-which is
Literally fleeing from the center. If the
weight slung on string is swung round
IN circle, the pull is harder as the revo-
luton becomes swifter. The princiule in
volved is that two forces acting oppositely
resolve themselves into a. third force, act
ing in a third direction. The weight at
any point in the circle is moving in a
direction at right angles to the string
connecting it with the center. If released
it will fly off at that angle. The resis-
lance of the string throws the line of force
off, but it is still away from the center,
hence the pull.
When it is considered that there are
arcs of various circles with varying CEN
tiers in Diavolo's strange bicycle track,
one realizes the complicated nature of the
calculations involved.
1t requires nerve,'' says Diavolo him
self-"nerve and thorough mastery of
the bicycle. One should also be able to
think quickly. Once I came near being
wrecked because one of the balls in a
bearing broke. That increased the fric-
ton. Any increase of friction dist urbs the
nice calculations of the ride.
Il can feel the nervousness of the audi
ence when am making my ride 1t is a

CRISIS WAS NOT SERIOUS
Premier Steen Simply Retired O
Account

Premier Steen Simply Retired on
Account of Age.
The ministerial crisis in Norway was
not such serious one after ALL Premier
steen simply retired on account of his ad-
vanced age.
1t was intimated that Qvam, Arctander.
and one or two Others were preparing to
hand in their portfolios, and radical re-
organization of the cabinet was expected.
Minister Blehr, who represented Norway
at Stockholm, was the choice of a major
1ty of the liberal members in the stor-
thing for the premiership.
The place was first offered to Berner,
president of the storthing, but Blehr was
eventually selected. He invited DR.. ST.
gurd Ibsen to become a member of the
cabinet, taking the vacant position at
Stockholm. The invitation was accepted.
DR.. Ibsen is the only son of Henrik Ib-
sen, the famous dramatist. He was born
in Norway in 1859, but was educated large
ly in foreign countries, particularly at
Munich and Rome. His doctors degree,
for instance, was obtained in Rome on
paper in the Italian language.
He has held several government posi-
tions from time to time, and has been
connected with several newspapers and
magazines.
