Washington, May IF the boys Of
the country take advantage of their
opportunities they viii soon be having
kites which viii be far ahead Of those
used by the youngsters OF a generation

Since last October S. A. Potter Of the
Weather bureau has been experim emit
ing with cellular kites of different sizes.
The object of the investigation is to
secure a kite which can be sent up
into the upper currents Of the air for
at least two miles, the idea betslg to
suspend their registering meteor
olOgical instrument so as to determine
above all the cause Of rain storms.
The weather bureau knows that it
rains now and then, but has not the
renotest idea why the phenomenon
takes place except in the general way
agreed on by all scientists of the con
densatiOn Of particles Of vapcr- Mr..
Potter took up what is known as the
Hargrave cellular kites, which are odd
looking box shaped affairs made on the
theory of one plane placed above an
other. After a few trials he hit on
an important modification, by means
of which the construction was simpli-
fed greatly and strength and light
nesss increased The weather experts
already have sent up kites to an eleva-
ton OF something over 4, 500 feet and
they are confident of being able to
reach the two mile limit after further
experiments
