A Christmas Race.

Here is new sort Of three legged
race which does not require all the
trouble of tving your racers together
and Is very much better than the old
way. In fact. girls may go in this
kind as well as boys. with no fear of
hurting themselves, and two nimble
girls stand very good chance Of beat
ing two boys too.
All you have to do is to grasp the
raised left foot Of companion. who
hops along in front of you. 1t is really

TO USE AIRsHIps AZ CAVALRY.
Military Experts Talk Of the Future Of
Dlriglble Balloons.

Japan has the intention, according
to rumor. of buying two army airships
in France to be models, 1t is said, for
building a fleet of airships in Japan.

Julliot, one of the Leading constructive
experts and chief engineer at Messrs.
Lebaudy's aerostatic establishment at
Moissan, said:
Airships will prove invaluable as
scouts. They can carry. with the
necessary precautions. from 1000 to
1900 pounds of explosives. A single
airship equipped for military opera
lions would prove as effective as an
army Of $4,000 men. They would
cause an enormous saving in war ma

The Defect In British Athletics.
The fact Is, the British athletes
have never trained intelligently.
Forty years ago the amateur trained

Such results are not the consequence
