Higher Than n Kite.

The recent improvements in kites
are among tho most notable OF cur
rent inventions A man has invented
what he calls box kite, with which
no has achieved some remarkable re-
suits. He carried up with his kite u
packet weighing as much ms tho aver
age man. This reached an altitude of
six hundred feet, and hoated along
without accident or incident, until
suddenly tho rope broke. OF course,
kite would come tumbling down, but
instead of this it noated with tho wind
for something like half mile, when
it gradually sank to the earth in way
that would not have injured man had
no actually been there. This kite is
peculiarly arranged, having air cells
that can be altered in shape by the
uso OF n lever, thus enabling the pas
senger to change the course and posi-
ton of the kite, and to guide it in its
downward flight. The experiment ia
especially interesting from tho fact
that the kite came down so gently,
carrying the weight OF man with it
This will stimulate kite-building exper-
iments, and it may yet be that the
kite idea will prove to be the correct
basis for the construction of flying
machines. New York Ledger.

The skeletons disinterred by him were
those of men over six feet in height,
but the skulls are different in shape
from those of any mound-builders

found in Brazil of very ancient date.
There is an almost entire absence oil

this was accomplished by artificial
