KITEs THE MOTIVE POWER.
Boating without Sails or Oars Now
in Order.


A most unique and novel boat is soon
to be launched Down East" 1t Is
built of light cedar and is to be pro-
PEELED by kites. 1t has no sails and n,
oars. Any ordinary boat can be turned
into a kite-boat if one wishes, and
only time and patience are required
to learn how to manage the craft.
This especial boat has across its bow
an ordinary twenty-foot spar. light in
weight but strong and springy. To
this the kite tackle is fastened. Three
middle. made of strong bamboo wood
and silk, ten by five, a small kite on
either side. half the size of the larger
one. and attached to line only half
as long. These strings are strong fish
lines. The line from the central kite
runs through a small pulley IN the
middle of the boat and then passes to
the bOatman in the stern, while the
two smaller kites have their lines ar
ranged in a more complicated style,
passing eventually into the hands OF
