RUSSIA TO MAKE
DEMONSTRATION
Alleges Breach Of Treaty BY
Chinese Empire.

London, Feb. 1.-THE relations of
Russia and China are strained to the
breaking point.
Russia has notified the governments
Of Great Britain, France and Germany
Of her intention to make military
demonstration on the Russo-C Chinese
frontier owing to China's persistent
violation Of the st. Petersburg treaty
Of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forth
with to the district of Iii.
The extent of the demonstration, it
10 added in the diplomatic note, will
depend entirely upon the attitude as
sumed by China.
The vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia, the extraterritorial
rights of Russia in China and the es-
Enlistment of Russian consulate at
Koebdo, Mongolia.
There has been rumors recently of
an intention by Russia to bring pres.
sure to bear upon China because of
alleged violations of the Russo-Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute,
however, has been denied both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Rus
sian legation at Picking.

cINEMATocRAPH FOLLOWS
PROGRESS OF A BULLET.
Shows Air Waves That Defect Course
Of ProjsetiIs.

A cinematograph apparatus which
takes pictures with intervals Of one
five-thousandth of q second has been
invented by Dr.. Cranz Of the Military
Academy Of Berlin. A striking ex-
ample of the power of the apparatus
shows bullet fred at a bladder Of
water that is hung on string.
The eye only sees n little smoke from
the pistol and a couple Of holes in the
bladder, from which the water runs,
but when this Is cinematographed and
the film is shown slowly very inter-
esting series of operations can be
watched.
First the bullet is seen approaching.
1t is travelling 1000 feet second, but
it seems to move quite deliberately.
In front of it and extending long
way above and below it is dim line
bent sharply Immediately before the
bullet. A bullet can no more pass
through air than a vessel can through
water without making a wave, and
this is the air wave. 1t is made visible
on account of its different density, just
as the waves in air are seen above a
chimney or over hot ground.
Behind the bullet come scattered
grains Of the powder that have not
been burned. and travelling more slow
ly still comes the wad. The bullet
enters the bladder and disappears in
side, little water squirting out Of the
hole it makes. Then it reaches the
other side, but it no longer cuts through
at once, as it did when the bladder
was backed up by the water.
Something like finger seems to
push the bladder outward into long
tube, then the tube opens and lets out
the bullet. which gradually travels
away. The tube does not at once col
lapse; its form is maintained by the
stream Of water which follows the pro-
jectile.

Land Office Cancels Entries to VaIu-
able Coal Lands.

Washington, Feb. 16. - Decisions
handed down by the commissioner of
the general land Office hold for can
collation. thirty-two coal cash entries
embracing valuable coal lands in the
Lander (Wyo) land district. upon the
ground that those entries were made
fraudulently in pursuance of con-
spiracy and by means of dummy"
entrymen. The lands were transferred
to the Northwestern Coal company
and the Owl Creek Coal company, al
legged to have been organized for the
purpose of taking them over. ..
II the decisions of the land office
are sustained by the department Of
the interior, to which an appeal can
be made, about $500 acres OF coal
land, valued at about 100000, will
be restored to the public domain.
