The John Thomas Concert Com
p3nN entertained a small audience last
Friday evening in highly satisiacl-
CRY manner The performance was
refined artistic and first elias III every

much superior to that usually furnish-

gentleman possesses The rare power 81
provoking rapturous mirth and
touching all the springs 81 laughter
without oifepding il the lelst the f.

that the entertainment was not better
patronized. 1t is the kind to be en-

it was not the lack Of appreciation on
the part Of our people that caused
the small attendance but the lack Of
judicious use ofprinters ink.

THE LATEST KITE.
VIII Lift "a Man Several Hundred Fee
with Safety.

Various suggestions have been made
for the imp ovement Of the balloon,
rays a writer in the National Review,
enabling it to be efficient in WINDY
weather, but determined at the outset
to do away altogether with that hcEle
and troublesome element, gas. Aerial
machines furnisaed with screw pro-
pellers could doubtless be made to as
cend, but then, again, heavy transport
would be required to carry the engines
and fuel for working them. Then my
thoughts soon turned to that simple
toy, the kite and on that well-knoWn
principle | based my new machine.
Thus the wind, which is so detrimental
to balooning, now became my friend
and helpmate. Yet, let me az once eX-
plain, dc not consider it an absolute
necessity. AS a schoolboy runs 10 set
his kite to rise, so this aerial apparatus
may be towed by running men or
horses, and SO caused to ascend in calm
weather. After some years of expert
menting with small kites of all shapes
and forms, | increased the size till
made one thirty feel high. At length
arrived at a shape and adjustment OF
tackle that practically removed all IN
steadiness and liability to capsize. That
awkward appendage, the tail, was DIS
carded, and by increasing the number
of kites, steadiness and ease OF manlpu-
lation were increased. And now l think
the apparatus is at last approaching the
practical stage.
The latest machine consists OF vary
ing number usually four to six OF sails
Of flattened hexagonal shape, looking
not unlike the square sails OF ship
These are connected. one behind the
ether, to the ground line, from VINCE
latter is suspended a basket car. A
parachute is spread out above the cal
in case of accident. The number o.
kites used depends upon the strength
of the wind, and thus the stronger the
pressure the less is the area presented
50 that the strain on the retaining rope!
is always about the same. This appara
tus has now been tried on a number
occasions and under many different cir
cumstances Of weather, and although
through lack of wind, or, rather, IN
sufiiciency of kite-power, 1t has occa
sionally not lifted as we'll as | shoul(
like, and frequently mishaps, the re
suits of inexperience, have occurred
yet, on the whole, it has behaved yer,
WELL and has generally carried its maj
easily and steadily to considerable.
height. | have myself been lifted owe
100 feet high, and had not been flrml
held down by rope | might have rise
much higher. Never once have l ex
perienced the least uncomfortable mo
ton. When th@ea has been let up t
the full extent of the rope, equsNalen
to a height of some 400 feet, it has in
variably fOated steadily and we'll. In
ropes and tackle have, with a few eA
ceptions easily remedied, always stoo
their work we'll, and those seeing tn
apparatus for tie first time have ger
orally expressed surprise at its ease an
steadiness.
