HOW HIGH viii 4 KITE cor

i3tsof MAJ "a fttEtf hift Tan fksAsh.
1t is one Of the most difficult under
takings imaginable 10 even approx
mateiy estimate the height Of "a kite
above the earth. This is on account Of
the fact that objects floating IN the air
seem to De farther WAY than they real
" are. II ln:y be safely said, saws the
81. Louis Hepabic, that 200 feet is the
maximum altitude that can possibly he
attained by a single kite. y Kite dying
al the height mentioned will appear
even TO a conservative observer to be
nearly ii not quite "A half mile above the
surface OF the earth. but a careful meas
urement of a string and its angle will
quickly prove that it col,d not have
been more than 4 fourth Of a mile above
the ground.
Ordinarily a kite will 90 no higher.
even if more string be paid ont: this is
because the wind depresses the cord
and causes the kite to really recede
when it appears to rise. 1t has been
said that it j. possible 10 arrange sew
eral kites in such a manner that they
will reach a higher altitude than it is
possible TO attain with a sir gle kite. In
this manner where three. four, or ever
a dozen kites have been used remarka-
bic heights have been reached.
Where more than one Kite is used

hooks along a "trotline') at an average
distance OF about twelve feet apart.

A SUBTERRANEAN OCEAN.
1t Extends Under Kansas and Nebraska
and Part of Indian Territory.

The best scientists OF the land favor
the opinion that Nebraska. Kansas and
part of Indian territory are situated
over an immense underground lake or
sea, says the st. Louis Republic. 1t is
w~ell-known fact that in several places
in Kansas whole sections of land have
suddenly disappeared, leaving onV
fathomless lakelets to mark the spot
where they were once situated. Proof
that there is something peculiar with
the foundation of the section of the
country mentioned may be found in
the celebrated tide wells" of Polk. But
Ter and Colfax counties in Nebraska.
Polk county j. best provided with
thSse curious wells, having between a
dozen and twenty. which oar and ebb
and dow aith an unseen tide. The
roaHng of these remarkable curiosities
(they cannot be called natural wonders.
because they are the work Of man, at
least SO far as excavation is c~oncerned)
is caused by the inhalation and exhala-
ton of immense quantities of air. There
are hours, regular and uniform, in
which the air will rush put with q loud,
Kissing sound, and again All equal space
of time in which il seems that all the
air of the Platte valley will be sucked
into the cavernous depths of these
wonderful wells.
The period of this ebb and flow does
not seem to depend upon either tho
season or the state of the weather. but
is thought to have some mysterious
connection with the high and low tide
periods of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. A m~eteorolegist of national
reputation. who sought to fathom the
mystery of the Platte river tide wells"
and who issued a little pamphlet with
the title Roaring Wells of Nebraska"
gave it as his opinion that the roaring
phenomenon vas in some way
ed with the prevailing direction of the
wind, being strongest in time OF west
or southwest breezes. The farmers in
the three counties mentioned as being
best provided with these tide-regulated.
air-expelling wells believe that the wa
ter supply is connected with a body
large enough to have a regular ebb and
flow of tide. All the wells in the coun-
ties Of Polk and Butter which are tide
regulated are Of about the same depth,
those OF Colfax being deeper, but all
extending to a porous stratum having
the same general characteristics.

BAD FOR MISSIONARIES.

They Are Likely to Fare Badly Until the
Corean Trouble Is Over.
BALTIMORE, August 2.-Bishop A. W.
Wilson of the Southern Methodist
church, who has travelled extensively in
China and Japan, and spent many years
In close connection with the mission
workers in those countries, says:
There is much reason to fear for the
safety OF the missionaries, both men and
women, now stationed in China and
Corea. The natives are always ready to
visit the responsibility for their troubles
on foreigners, no matter how remote
tney may be from the cause Of the trou-
ole. While the present danger to the
missionaries is to be feared it is likely
that the war in the long run will help
the missions by stimulating the govern
ment to greater concessions in their be-
half"
