entertainment of a similar nature was
still fresh in the public mind. More
over, there was an air of mystery
about the performance which piqued
curiosity. The participants were
known to be prominent society bellies,
but they were hidden behind such an
amount of burnt cork, and on the pro
gramme their identity was rendered
still more vague by such names as
Mrs. Jane Busby, Topsy Wayback,
Dannah Jimpson, Liza Ann Dusty, or
Buster Caesar Lee. Knowing the great
public curiosity on this subject of
identity, The Herald office arranged
for a set of Crookes tubes and turned

cork. Excellent negatives of the rosy

last fortnight has been employing the
same methods in Boston for the same
purpose, with gratifying success.
The special object of a tailless kite is
to avoid the ENHANCEMENT and accident
that is almost sure to result when lot
of them are sent up tandem. Although
the Malays and other people had made
such things before Mr. Eddy tried to do
so, his design was worked out by him
self before he had seen any of the
others. The general plan of construc
ton is as follows:
Take two slender sticks of equal
length, let us say four feet Have
them half an inch wide, or less, and Il
good quarter of an inch thick. Gross
them exactly at right angles, the inter
section coming in the middle of the
horizontal one, and a trifle less thar
one-fifth of the way from the top of the
upright one. The precise proportion is
1S per cent. Notch the edges us in old.
fashioned lite-building, and run
string around. For kites slightly
larger than this one Mr. Eddy prefers
fine piano wire, which will not stretch
Before putting on the cord or wire
though, one other very important thinF
must be done. The cross stick must bC

from end to end, as on an archer's bow
can be used to regulate the amount or
The curvature, which should be such
that the distance from the center of the
cross stick will be four per cent. of the
length-a scant two inches for a As,
inch stick. In order to give greater
strength to the fabric an extra cross
stick, half the length of the bent one
and left straight, is secured parallel
with the other Mt the back of the kite
The upright stick should pass between
them, as shown in the smaller diagram

low the cross stick care should be taken
10 make the covering little baggy, sc
that the wind will produce hollows each
side of the upright. The paper should
be cut trifle too lerge, wrinkled
little where it is pasted, and then put on
somewhat loose. The right effect will
be secured after a little experiment, if
not at first. To make the belly band.
take piece of cord of the right length
and form small loop near, but not
exactly in, its Middle. Into this loop
you will afterward tie the string with
which you fly the kite. Fasten the free
end of the shorter section of the belly
band to the intersection of the sticks.
and the longer section to the extreme
lowermost point of the kite. The first
of these sections should be about as
long as that portion of the upright be-
low the intersection, and the other
should correspond to the hypothenuse
of right-angled triangle. 4 little eN-
perimenting is generally needed before
the proportions necessary to give the
best results are obtained. 1t is, there
fore, wise to take plenty of cord and

Many different answers have been

a marine engineer and laureate of the
Institute of France, has lately made
some personal observations on this sub
ject. He describes waves encountered
in the North Atlantic which had a
height of at least As feet. Driven before
a heavy wind, waves may advance at the
rate of from 35 to 40 miles an hour, and
such undulations of the ocean may
travel more than 500 miles from the
point where the wind created them
without being accompanied by any dis
turbance in the atmosphere.

RATIO OF GOLD
AND SILVER.
Fixed by Coinage, Not by Bull
lion Value.
THE RECORD OF 400 YEARS.
A Stable Ratio Maintained For
Four Centuries UP to 1878.
The RECORD OF 400 YEARS.

Auditor L. p. Baldwin Of the treas
ury has just completed compilation
Of statistics relating to the production
Of gold and silver since the discovery of
America, together with the ratio of val
ne for the period. His results, he thinks,
are convincing enough to satisfy the
most rabid gold standard advocate that
the value of silver during that time was
fixed by the coinage value of the metal
and not by the bullion or commercial
value. Mr.. Baldwin considers the pro-
duction of the two metals by periods,
the first dealing with the years between
1893 and 1850, the second between 1850
and 1872, the last from 1873 to 1895.
The value Of this table is derived
from the carefully compiled statement
Of the ratio between the two metals
during these periods. During the first
period the ratio of production of gold to
silver was / to 52. During the second
period it was 1 to $50 and during the
third period l to II. G3. The ratio of
value, however, was never materially
disturbed during the years from 1893 to
1878. During the first period the ratio
VI N"4uN DNIN''i thS wv IlClals W hS
comprised between IA. ii and l6. 20, the
latter being the greatest divergence i'll
value, although the ratio Of production
of gold to silver was 1 to 81 =.
During the second period the ratio Of
value was oven more stable, the highest
being Is. 20 and the lowest 1921 al
though the ratio of production of gold
to silver had dropped to l to 6 practi-
cally. During the third period, howev.
er, which comprises the time since the
passage of the act demonetizing silver,
the ratio of production of gold to silver
has been to 11.6S. During that time
the lowest ratio of value was l to 15,92,
while the highest ratio, about two years
ago, was 1 to 81. 56. Mr.. Baldwin says
that this demonstrates clearly and in
the most positive manner that the value
of the two metals is fixed by coinage
and not by the bullion or commercial
value.
He points ont that the small amount
of silver used in the arts during such
time as silver was coined free with gold
could not affect the value Of the metal
at all, and that when the coinage value
was less than the bullion value the
coinage supplied the arts with such
small measure of the metal as was need
ed, and even when the bullion value of
silver fell below the established ratio
the fact that il could be coined into full
legal value maintained the parity.
During the 400 years under consid-

j. S. Sanders, publisher of the Wilkes

applied for an injunction to restrain the

from awarding the contract for publish

and Mr.. Sanders was the lowest bidder.
He did not get the work. The Telephone
