Life-R skiing exhibitions.

The craze fol the risking OF human life In

drop. from balloons and are saved by the
opening Of parachutes. Men jump of high
bridges into swift running streams Men
roll down steep inclines on bicycles and turn
loops in the air. Men even ride down such
planes and around such loops with sections
omitted from the latter SO that for frac-
ton of a second they are entirely without
support. And 1t may be said that women

beth men and women. despite their clever

sooner or later. A woman has just died
In a Spanish hospital in consequence Of in

The Navy Bill.

The naval appropriation bill Jared well in
the House. despite the attacks that were
made on it. The Senate has now to speak.
1t is matter of some curiosity as to how
vigorous an opposition Mr.. German will set
up. He may or he may not have been in
structed by the responses that have been
made to his proposition to cut down the
supplies for the navy. They do not indorse
his opinion that the navy is ''topheavy."
Many democrats unite with the republicans
In urging 4 liberal treatment of the gov
ernments sea power. and particularly in
view of our recently assumed engagements
at Panama. We need more ships, and as
we have the money to pay for them now is
the time to invest it. Mr.. German may be
very certain that there is not presidency
in crippling our defenses on the sea.

China and Korea.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
1t is neither to be expected nor desired
that the report shall come true according
to which, If Japan wins signal victory
over Russia. China is to join the winner as
a combatant and bring her banners, stink
pots and fumigation of devils to the sacred
work of expelling the oppressive Russian
from Chinese soil. 1t is, not to be believed
that the sagacious elder statesmen of
Japan have solicited this assistance. In
fact, reversing the praise of Japan by one
of our own officers who saw her troops at
work in China, China is neither "a valuable
ally nor formidable enemy" China is
lin the hands of her friends" She had bet
ter leave herself there. She will only en-
barrass them If she undertakes to do any
thing for herself in the military way with
Korea the case Is quite different Korea
has suffered much and apprehends more
from Russian encrOachment. Korea knows
perfectly well that the success of Russia
against Japan would mean the extinguish-
ment of Korea as a nationality. With ev-
erything that deserves to be called q ma
tiOnalty. In which category China is unfor-
tunately not included, the instinct OF ma
tional self-preservation Is as potent as the
instinct of individual self-preservation.

Too Cold for; the Ice CROP.

No longer can the public jest about the
repacity of the iceman. The matter has
passed the stage of joke. 1t has become
serious and worthy of the most solemn con-
sderation. One of the most common COM
ments the severity of the winter has
been that even If the coal dealer and the
plumber reaped their rich harvest from the
work of the elements this season the ice
man would be forced to acknowledge good
store of ice and fix his rates accordingly
Foolish faith in the silly laws of supply and
demand. Witness to their utter confusion,
this dispatch, from Gardiner, Maine. the
center of the natural ice cutting district:
1.-The total Maine ice crop for 1904 is the
smallest cut in the state in many years
The ice this year is of exceptionally fine
quality but the cost of getting 1t was
greater than ever before because of many
snow storms and the extreme cold
Here, then. is the anomaly which will
gladden. the hearts of the iceman and sad
den those of the householders. For. of
course If 1t has been too cold to cut Ice this
winter the manufacturers of the artificial
product will have no difficulty whatever in
bringing the prices for their goods up to the
natural ice standard. There never is any
trouble on this score.

In its course. Apart from the danger OF
slip from the loop and an instant crushing
of life, there is a serious peril from tho
repeated gyrations of the performer. He
has tried to accustom his system to the
strain by rolling in a drum down gentle

the performers there is very grave ques-
ton as to the influence of such displays
upon the spectators. They are wrought to
high state of nervous tension by the
preparations for these ''thrillers," and in
the few seconds of performance they are
unquestionably unwholesomely affected A
sentiment prevails throughout the country
that these Hfe-saving displays should be
prohibited. with heavy penalties for both
the managers of such exhibitions and the

February 90.

This is a noteworthy day. There has
been no Goth Of February for eight years,
owing to the fact thati1900 was not a leap
year Another such omission of February
29-when on the even century year it would
be expected-will not occur again for 200
years, inasmuch as the year 1000 is a leap
year, being d,visible by 400. This rule of
dropping February % from certain years
when In ordinary course it would be due
was rendered necessary by the discovery
that the addition of one day every fourth
year was too much OF a compensation to
effect an exact balance between the sun
and the calendars. So only every fourth
century year is given 366 days Special
celebration should mark February - in the
year 1000 for this reason. but for the pres
ent the average citizen VIII confine his at
tention to speculation as to the proba Bile

by such means 1t has been urged In behalf
Of the emplacement Of buildings on the
Mall that thus would surely be secured the
great object Of curing present conditions
within the triangle. The citizens of Wash
ington have no faith In such indirect meth
DDS. 1t would be many. many years before
the government would consent to spend the
millions necessary for the purchase of the
triangle merely to clear away Objectionable
neighbors of it's buildings situated on the
Mall, especially as the vista scheme con-
templates that they should face to the
south.
Against the utilization of park space for
building sites there remains the insuperaple
objection that the city thereby loses large
part of it's great beauty If these sites are
thus taken from the motives of economy
there Is no likelihood Of a future generosity
leading to the provision OF compensauhs
parks on the flanks Of the Mall II they
are chosen for artistic reasons 1t Is time
now to call halt and challenge the artis-
tic bases of the project. A far better erect

the present remnants of the original park

the Downing plans, and the empiacement

ington rise to the desired plane as the great
federal capital should henceforth be uncom-
promisingly bent.
