saddle back curve, followed by slight
incline
This feat, which was first performed
by a woman, consists in rushing down
the incline and balancing the wheel
so neatly that the rider will shoot like
an arrow through the air, to land on
the curve fifty feet distant and come to
rest on the incline which follows.
Another popular exhibition of this
nature is the high dive The diver
jumps from the top of a long, vertical
} ladder into a small tank forty feet I'm
length and eight In width. The slight
est error in judgment, of course, means
an instant and horrible death to the
performer.
The bicycle feats have been super
seeded in popular favor very largely by
the use of the automobile The auto
mobile Is made to do even more than
the bicycle, and performers have been
found in plenty who are willing to
take these rides.
The first of these feats was the in
PRODUCTION of the automobile i'm the
human arrow act. The car was al
| lowed to run down a steep incline
curved up slightly at the bottom. and
is stopped abruptly by buffer at the
end of the upward curve. The rider
was, of course, shot out of the car with
terrible velocity and hurled through
space a considerable distance and to a
height of about fifty feet, where he
saved himself by catching trapeze
bar.
The "autoboide," which has been
witnessed on both sides of the Atlantic,
was generally thought to mark the
extreme limit in such feats. In this
case the automobile dashed down a
steep incline constructed after the
manner of the loop the loop, made
circuit Of the circular track, completes

gap. AS mathematical. proposition
the feat was no more hazardous than
before, while its spectacular value was
greatly increased. Several variations
have followed.
The "human arrow" the name given
Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-26

to the next performer in his evolution,
encountered a much greater risk. In
this act the "arrow' traverses a gap
in track which would not, even if
completed, form regular loop.
The rider first descends a fifty-foot

PASSING or THE CHINESE.
How Nature Is Solving the Problem
OF the ''Yellow Peril'' in
America.

In so years--perhaps less than SO, il
the present laws remain in effect and are
rigidly executed-the Chinese popula-
ton Of the United States will become
practically extinct, says writer in the
Worlds Work. From 1890 to 1900 they
fell away from 126,77S to 119,050, de-
crease OF nearly 5000, or more than six
Der cent. In the fiscal year ending June
30. 1903, more than 1000 voluntarily left
the port Of San Francisco for the land Of
their birth. the total deported and re-
turning voluntarily being 5000. A very
large majority of these Cinnamon were
advanced in years and went home to
die.
A generation ago there were in San
Francisco from 10000 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general there
told me that, counting men, women and
children, there are now not 10000. The
same proporuonate decrease is seen in
other places. 1t should be borne in mind
that the total number Of Chinese now in
the United States includes 26767 in
Hawaii and 3,1l6 in Alaska, SO that, at
the beginning Of this decennial period,
there we're living in the United States
proper only $4,000. A generation ago
there we're at least 100000.
According to the most liberal estimate
shere are not more than $50 legal Chi
nese wives in San Francisco. But the
number of Chinese women is estimated
% hatuaar I O0O and . 000
The majp adult population is male, is
unmarried and is rapidly approaching
old age. Thus by 1880 or 1910 the main
Chinese life in America win have become
extinct
