this simple means the kite can be
compelled to move through fnfige of
1874 degrees of arc, or about three
fourths of semicircle. Operated from
the deck Of vessel, or from land, q
kite will thus haul buoy or line sus-
pended from the flying lines out

deed. a flve-inch hawser, 1000 feet In

needed in order TO steer and otherwise
manage this device, and one lesson is
usually enough for crew. A highly
important part of the apparatus is the
pair Of reels, set up on shipboard or
land, with Which the flying lines are
controlled. Mr.. Davis also makes use
Of 'top-line," q third cord attached
to the top Of the kite, in getting tho
latter up at the start, and in so tipping

Among the achievements described

constructed wagon and boat by kite
power. The latter craft can thus sail
45 degrees off the wind and the former

Peculiar Tricks Practiccd by the Fruit
Dealers Of France.
The Bulletin d'Arboriculture, Of Bel
gium, points out the following sophisti-
cations to which fruits are at present
submitted in Europe.
Acetate and sulphatc Of copper have
for a long time been employed for
coloring plums that are too green.
The color of lemons is improved" with
citronine and naphthol yellow, and the
green spots are initiated by means OF
diamond green.
A pleasing color is given to straw
berries by sprinkling them with sui
pho-fuchsine or rhodaminc, or else a
mixture of rhodamine and azo-red Ia
used.
Nothing is easier than to give peaches
beautiful color. To this effect there
is employed mixture Of rhodamine,
azo-red and citronine, which is applied
by means Of brush and a perforated
plato of zinc.
The melon itself Is not spared.
Atropeodine or azo-orange Is intro
duccd into the interior by means OF q
tube, and care is taken to add a little
essence of melon.
Apples and pears come In their turn
and pretty varieties Of them are OBJ
tssped by means Of anilinc colors
which attack the flesh as we'll as the
spidermis.
At a recent dinner DR.. Villon offered
his guests some pears whose exterior
seemed to be intact, but which In

FouR.FooTED BIRDS.

Queer Creatures Recently Discovered n
tho Amazon Country.
That there are still numerous chances
for the indefatigable student and In
vestigator to make new discoveries
may be Judged from the fact that the
only known species of four-footed bird
has been discovered only quite recently.
This curious anomaly, which could
very properly be styled an "Avis para
doxalis," is a native OF the Amazon
river country, its principal habitat
being the islands Of Marajo. It is only
during the period OF incubation lat
which time the little embryos extra
legs and feet are seen at their best)
and early birdhood that the four
footed feature is ct all observable
Like the baby frog, which either
s.sheds'' or absorbs It's tail, the four
footed bird rids itself Of its useless
legs In the same manner, chicks six
weeks of age usually being perfectly
free from any signs of the extra mem
bers. The ornithologists profess to be-
lieve that this curious creature Is .
survival of some past geological epoch.
Its scientific name is Opisthocomus
cristatus. The natives call 1t the
'.hoactzin," which means the evil
smelling bird" 1t is also claimed that
there is not carnivorous animal

of study by ]. Woodbridge Davis for
several years, and he gives a short ac-
count of his methods In the Engineer
ing Magazine.
The patient investigator preferred
the hexagonaf shape at first for the
purpose in question, bccause 1t gives n
wider expanse for the leiigth OF RIB;
but as sharper points render the Kite
stcadier and the covering material
stretches tighter with starform, he
now adopts the latter and obtains 1T by
drawing In Mt the middle OF each span
the cord which goes around the sticks.
To each OF the six ribs he attaches a
string, and the three on its right hand
side are united by ono metallic cyelet
and the three on the left by another,
and to these two brides are attached
his flying c,rds or reins. For tail he
uses four or five one hundred-foot
lengths Of clothesline side by side.
The kite itself is about seven feet across
and so made as to fold up for easy
transportation. To get fabric that
would undego this manipulation, be
waterproof and windproof and not be
too heavy, required good deal OF ex-
pertinent, but at last the problem was
solved, although Mr.. Davis does not
tell exactly how he did It.
One of tho most interesting, II not
original, features of this business is
the way in which, by letting ont one
of the two flying lines little further
than the other, the kite can be made
to shift It's position sideways. When the
lines have the same length it stands
square to the wind; when the right

Some Points About Pins.

Thorns were originally used in fast
ening garments together. Pins did not
Immediately succeed thorns as fasten-
ers, but different appliances were used,
such as hooks, buckles and laces. 1t
was the latter half of the fifteenth
century before pins were used in Great
Britain. When first manufactured in
England the iron wire, of the proper
length, was filed to n point, and the
other extremity twisted into head.
This was slow process, and four or
five hundred pins was q good days
work for an expert hand. The United
States has the credit Of inyenting the
first machine for making pins. This
was In 1924 The inventor was one
Lemuel Wellman Wright. Many re-
markable improvements have followed,
and the machines of the present day

THE SEA OTTER.

bed of kelp, floating out in the open
sea, on the icy-cold waters OF the Pa
cific, and literally rocked in the cradle
of the Deep how he was brought up
on the heaving pillows, and, when bed
time came, found soft resting place
on his mothers breast, while she
floated upon her back and clasped him
with her paws as he slept; how the
only land he ever knew was the
rugged, rock-bound shores of Alaska
or Washington. Now and then, when
the ocean was very rough, and before
the hunters were SO bad, he used to
crawl out upon rock and lie there,
while the roar of the breakers doomed
in his ears and the spray dashed over
him in torrents. But then, it is proba-
BILE that not one woman out of every
five hundred takes the trouble to learn
the life history of the creature whose
furry coat she wears.
The sea otter is the largest Of the
marten family, and Is very unlike the
animal after which the family Is
named. 1t has thick, clumsy body,
which, with the round, blunt head, is
from three and half to four feet in
length. Unlike those of all other
offers, the tail Is short and stumpy,
being about one-fifth the length OF the
head and body. AS If to increase its
value, and hasten Its destruction, the
skin is much larger than the body,
like misfit coat, and lies loosely upon
it in many folds. For this reason the
stretched pelt Is always much wider
and longer than the animal that
wore 1t.
The coat OF the full-grown sea otter
is very dense, very fine, and its color Is
shimmcring, lustrous black. Ever
since the earliest discovery of the SEQ
otter by the Russians, its fur has been
eagerly sought by them, and the cash
prices of skins have always been so
hirh that there Is not, In the whole
United States, a museum rich enough
to afford good series Of specimens.
Mr.. Charles Ii. Townsend, the natural
list of the United States fish commits
sion, writes me that in 1891 the price o.
the best skins had reached $500 each,
and their value has been since increas-
ing. On the northwest coast OF the
state Of Washington, where sea offers
are still found along thirty-mile strip
Of coast from Gray's harbor, halfway
to Cape Flattery), they are shot by
hunters from tall ''derricls' from thir-
ty to forty feet high, erected in the
surf halfway between high tide and
low tide, and the hunter who kills four
offers in year considers his work sue
cessful.
Owing to the persistent hunting that
has been going on ever since Alaska
came into our possession, the sea otter
is rapidly following the buffalo to the
state of determination.
The favorite food of the sea otter is
not fish, as one might suppose from the
habits of the common otter, but CLANS,
crabs, mussels and sea-urchins. It's
molar teeth are Of necessity very
strong, for the grinding up OF this
rough fare, and the muscles OF the
laws are proportionately powerful
