A hos ia Bratteboro. in 1911, made
q kite aud attached paper lantern to it,
ia which he pat q candle, and arranged 1t
SO that when tho candle had burned out
it would explode some powder which
was in the bottom OF the lantern. lie
kept the secret entirely TO himself, aud
waited for a suitable night in which to
raise his Kite. The boy got his Kite into
the air without being discovered, for it
was so dark tha1 nothing but the colored
lantern was visible. II went dancing
abont in the air wildly, attracting much
notice, and was looked upon by ignorant
people as some supernatural omen. The
evil spirit, as many supposed it., went
bobbing about for about twenty minutes
and then exploded, blowing the lantern
to pieces. Next morning all was wonder
aud excitement And this lad, who
had carefully taken his kite in and hidden
It after the explosion without being found
out, had his own fun out OF the matter.
The people of Brattleboro never had any
explanation Of the mystery until nearly
sixty years aflerward, when the boy who
had become quite an old gentleman, pub
lished the story in Bratteboro news
paper.
