REACHING GREAT HEIGHT WITH KITES.

REACHING GREAT HEIGHT WITH KITES.
The actual height of kites above the
earth is difficult 10 measure, because an
object floating alone in the air looks
farther away than il really is. When u
kite is flying at IA height of l 800 feet, it
has reached about as high q point as is
possible without the assistance of other
kites. Such kite will seem 10 have
reached ar altitude of half mile; yet
q careful measurement of the string and
its sieepness will show that the kite is
not over one third of mile above the
ground. Ordinarily. the'kite will 60 no
higher even if more'string is let out, be-
cause the wind presses against the great
length of string with Increasing force as
the kite recedes and rises.
If more than one kite be used, remark
able heights are attainable. The kites
can BIO fastened along q single string,
bat this method requires quickness in at
taching the right amour. of tail to each
kite; otherwise so much time may be
wasted in preparing the successive kites
Cor flight that the daylight will wane be-
fore the experiment Gun be concluded.
However, when one kite is up and the
amount of tail for 1t is determined, it be-
comes possible. after long experience, to
at once estimate the amount of tail nee.
rssary for each additional kite, accord
ing to its size.-LSt. Nicholas.

THE DAHLiA.

Beautiful Varieties Developed by Guilt
The dahlin was not an inmate of our
gardens before the present century. It
was named af,cr Il DR.. Dahl, and was
introduced into Europe about the year
1902, says the Detroit Free Press. It
belongs to the same order of plants TO
which belongs the sunfowcrs and
-chrysanthcmuns. 1t is native of
Mexico, and tourists on sandy plains
five thousand feet above the sea, form
ing large bushes seven or eight feet
high. When it was first known it's
flowers were single, with yellow disk
and dull scarlet ray petals.
Cultivation has not only changed its
flowers, it has changed also it's time of
Towering, the height of it's growth
and even the shape of its seeds Now
there arc dwarf kinds, hardly two feet
high, which are in full blossom in the
end of juno. The tubcrs were at one
time used for food in France, but they
arc sharp and harsh in taste. and of lit.
tic value as an csculent.
During the last few years the single
form of the dahlia has come in favor.
These single flowers, ut first only red
and yellow, arc gradually giving rise to
many beautiful varieties Of shade and
color

atcd from the third and fourth class.
The tracks leading out of this station
