FORGOTTEN CITY OF KHIvA.
Wasting Away Among the Sands That
Surround It.
From the Century.

r rom the century.
Bokhara is fallen. Samarkand is the seat
of Russian provincial governor, and
Merv is a manufacturing town with cast
iron drinking fountain. Khiva, too, was
swallowed in its turn. but disgorged again:
though the kingdom fell. it was handed
back to it's owners, and no Russian may
now enter except by invitation.
The Khivan mobiles still ride a-hawking,
and caravans in the Kara Kun sands still
fear the armed horsemen who dash down
from the north.
Though comprised about on every side by
Russian territory. and in sight of the
breaches made by the Russian guns in 1873,
the Khivan Khan still screws his revenue
from trembling people. joyously cuts
threats In the open market and dispenses

In the old days caravans from Merv and
Bokhara were frequent. Carpets and stuffs
were sent both west and east from the city
in exchange for drugs and tea Today some

more Khiva Is becoming forgotten and iso-

carrying her into the current with the

deserts are a more effective barrier today

AWFUL FALL OF BACLooNIST
Man Attempting Double Parachute
Act DrOPe One Hundred Feet
and Breaks. Neck.


UTICA, n. Y, Aug. 7.--wiiliam johnson,
balloonist, made an ascension in connec-
ton with a street fair In Little Falls today.
In coming down with a parachute the ap-
paratus failed to work and johnson fell
upon the railroad tracks, receiving injuries
which undoubtedly will cause his death.
1t is estimated Johnson was 1900 feet
high when he left the balloon TO make what
is called a double parachute descent The
first parachute opened well and johnson de-
scended about two-thrds of the distance.
Then he attempted to open the second
parachute and descend the remainder of
the distance with that. He discarded the
first parachute, and as he grasped the
handle OF the second one the strings broke
causing IL to collapse. ..-
Johnson shot downward very rapidly and
the thousands who were watching him
were horror stricken. He attempted "a
guide his descent so that he would strike
the wires running along the railway which
climbs the, clin. He partly succeeded In
this, but he went through the wires and
fell to the bottom OF the cllff. striking upor
the railroad tracks hundred. feet below
