anese Advance.
Chicago.-A special to the Daily
News from Newchwang says:
"If official Russian advices from
Moukden can be relied on Gen. Kuro-
patkin's deployment is so far advanced
that it covers the very lines the Jap
anese purpose to occupy.
should the Japanese succeed in
driving the Russians north, the Musco-
vte line of defence will extend from
Newchwang to Liaoyang, and from
Liaoyang to the Yalu river.
"The Russian generals profess con-
fidence that the Japanese can make no
headway by frontal attacks, while the
Russians can cope with the. widest
fanking operations the Japanese are
likely to undertake
when these operations begin, say
the Russians, Kuropatkins counter
strokes will bring down the Japanese
scheme of offence like house Of cards
THE continued delay on. the part of
the enemy is great surprise to the
Russians"

IN JAPANESE REAR.
Gen. Mistchenko and His Cossacks
Penetrate to Aniu.

st. Petersburg.-A account given
here of the movements of the cavalry
under Maj. Gen. Mistchenko (the COM
mander of the western Cossack brigade)
while not officially confirmed, is ac-
cepted as trustworthy. 1t is as fol-
IUws.
Gen. Mistchenko's Cossacks reached
Songiin and after occupying that
place turned north along the Seoul-Pe-
kin road and occupied Anju. Not
shot was fired the Japanese and Kor.
cans withdrewins.-----
- The unexpected appearance of Cos
sacks in the rear of the Japanese force
near the Yalu caused panic among
the Japanese troops proceeding toward
the Yalu from Pingyang, and they
consequently retreated. The Japanese
troops at Pakchon, Kusong, Kasan and
Chongiu did not attempt to stop the
Cossacks, but moved toward the north
west by forced marches.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell
Believes That He Has
Accomplished II,
WITH THE TETRAHEDRAL KITE.
Gave an Exhibition at Columbia Sta
ton, a Washington Suburb, to
Some Scientific Men.

Washington, April 3o,-Prof \. G.
Bell today gave at Columbia station
Virginia suburb OF Washington an o.
hlbitlon OF the tetrahcdral kite, which
he believes is the secret or aerial navi-
cation, The demonstration was made
to the members OF the National Geo.
graphical society, Of which Prof. Bel
was formerly the president The wind
was light and therefore the trials were
not as successful as some which have
been made In private, but concerning
which much has been written by the
inventor and other scientists. Three
sixteen-cell kites. each said to have a
sustaining power OF IS pounds, were
sent to heights varying from 400 TO
l,lOO feet, but the wind was so uncer-
tain that the tests were not regarded
as satisfactory.
Preceding the exhibition OF kite ny
ing, Prof. Bell explained briefly what ne
is doing at Cape Breton, where he mas
his laboratory. He said that the expert
ments there We're on a much larger
parent from an examination Of the Kite
used In the local demonstrations. The
manner Of construction OF kites from
the first light sticks or aluminium TUBES
or sticks ara eight inches long, Three
are first used to form triangle ana
three more are jointed TO the ends OF
= first triangle and formed together
al a common apex, making figure
bounded by four tnangles. Other cells
OF the same size and weight then are
taken until 1G form the tetrahedral kite
the same size as the FIRST cell. weight
is saved in putting the cells together
by using only where two cells are fitted
together. 80 that while one triangle
requires three rods, two triangles can
be made from five rods. When covered
with silk as the kites, the two triangles
have twice the resistance power Of one,
hut one-sixth less weight than two Or
binary triangles,
The same principle Of saving weight
IS continued further In forming the te-
trahedral. the idea being that by max
ing the kites large enough and con-
tinuing TO save weight a sustaining
power will be possible so that motor
and man can be carried, II has been
asserted this has been proven at the
Cape Breton laboratory, and the trials
today have given to the public the first
general understanding of how II Is
done. Prof Bell said the motor even
tually. would take the place Of the kite
string. and that when this had been
accomplished aerial navigation Is estab-
llshed
