HOW HIGH WILL A KITE GOq
Eighteen Hundred Feet the Maximum Al
titude That Single Kite Can Roach.

Eighteen Hundred Feet the Maximum Al
titude That Single Kite Can Roach.
1t is one Of the most difficult under
takings imaginable to even approx
matcly estimate the height of kite
above the earth. This is on account Of
the fact that objects floating in the air
seem to be farther away than they
really are. 1t may be safely said, says
the ST. Louis Republic, that 1900 feet
is the maximum altitude that can pos
sibly be attained by single kite. A
kite flying at the height mentioned will
appear even to a conservative observer
to be nearly if not quite a half mile
above the surface of the earth, but a
careful measurement of a string and it's
angle will quickly prove that it could
not have been more than fourth of q
mile above the ground. Ordinarily a
kite will go no higher, even if more
string be paid out; this is because the
wind depresses the cord and causes the
kite to really recede when it appears
to rise. 1t has been said that it is pos
sible to arrange several kites in such a
manner that they will reach higher
altitude than it is possible to attain
with single kite. In this manner
where three, four, or even dozen kites
have been used remarkable heights
have been reached.
Where more than one kite is used
only the main one is attached to the
end of the string, the others being at
tached along the main line lin man
ner similar to the arrangement OF the
hooks along ca "trotline'0 at an aver
age distance of about twelve feet
apart. Hinkleman, who made expert
ments at Buda-Pesth, and Irlson and
Watson, whose investigations under
the Russian Academy Of Sciences were
carried on at Edeenea, Finland, report
curious results. Where single kites
could be forced up into the atmosphere
to a height of 1900 feet, pair could
be made to ascend to height OF from
1900 to 2, 100 feet, and tandem easily
reached the high-water mark Of $500
feet. The three experimenters alluded
to believe that with q proper arrange
ment of the kites, and with scientific
adjustment of both the tail and string,
q height Of two miles will eventually
be reached.

According to the latest stories of
medical science, the power of the mi-
crooe is daily becoming greater and
greater, says the New York World. At
nrst the item went around that the
bacillus OF disease lurked in the kiss;
then that infinitesimal thousands of
oacilli were hidden within the dirt in
crusting the dollar bill. Lastly, it has
come TO be known that an almost equal
danger, medically, lies in the pages of
ola books. A far more wonderful phase
Oh microbia, though, is told in the re-
cent discovery of a French physician.
This is that the innocent appearing
and cleanly looking postage stamp is a
vehicle that cannot be surpassed as a
transmitter. Ninety-nine out of every
postage stamps are fastened on their
envelopes after being well moistened
with the tongue. Saliva, as is we'll
known, is almost invariably, if not en-
tlrely so, the headquarters, as it were,
OF the disease bacilli that infest any one
person. Upon the sticking on of each
postage stamp literally thousands of
these arc carried away adhering to the
gum and many, it is assured, find their
way in the course Of handling directly
into other organisms.
VI course the danger most likely
comes to the man Or woman who re-
celves the letter, particularly if he or
she be stamp collector. Following
out this French theory an interesting
table OF statistics might be made upon
the prevalence of contagious diseases
IN families who have stamp collection
IN their midst In default of this ever
having been attempted, one authenti-
Gated instance Of the transmission Of
diseases germs has been given out. A
certain French gentleman was made
miserable quite recently by a parasite
ical malady which spread over his beard
and caused him intense distress. His
PHYSICIANS aid having been invoked, it
was discovered, strange to say, that
while the disease was we'll known to
medical science, it existed only in Col
ombia, South America. The patient
had never been to Colombia, however,
nor had he even crossed the ocean at
any time OF his life. The only possible
clcw that the doctor could get was that
the young man frequently received let
tcrs from correspondent or two resid-
ing within Colombia's boundaries.
Quite sufficient was this to cause the
doctor to make further investigation.
He found upon inquiry that the young
man was more or less an enthusiastic
stamp collector, and that in the case of
these Colombian stamps he had torn
them off the envelope and soaked them
in water. 1t was quite conceivable, the
physician argued, that while engaged
in this pastime he might readily have
stroked his beard with his dripping or
even moist hands, and thus transferred
the bacilli imprisoned in the gum to his
face.
The disease he was affected with was
known as "piedra," and in the opinion
OF French scientists there seems to be
little question that he got it in the way

experiments Dy EaoteriOlogist
death Stops His Search.
The psychologists at the CONGRESS-
OF American physicians and surgeono
exchanged some surprising experiences.
says a Washington letter to St Lou;s
Globe-Democrat. DR.. Harold C. Ernst
OF Boston, however, contributed the
most wonderful of all the stories of
germs and cultures. DR.. Ernst told
now the late DIR. s. c. Martin entered
ms laboratory to make study of the
germs OF smallpox. DR.. Martins
father was the man who introduced
the manufacture of cowpox into this
country. He maintained this industry
for many years and then turned it over
70 his son. The latter continued the
production of virus for vaccination
purposes, but desiring to learn more
about the disease for which he was
manufacturing the preventive, he came
to DIR. Ernst's laboratory and entered
upon series of experiments. This
work he continued until his fatal i'll
ness. On his death ded, Just previous
to surgical operation, he committed
to DIR. Ernst an account of his discov-
cries. This story DR.. Ernst told to the
psychologists. Accustomed as they
were to having their credulity taxed
by the revelations in their peculiar
field ofresearch, these gentlemen could
hardly believe in the results OF DR..
Martins work.
DIR. Martin began his investigation
by collecting from smallpox patients a
large number and variety of bacteria
He bred from these bacteria. Or, in
the language of bacteriology, he got
cultures. With these cultures he in
oculated the calves and the calves pro-
duced cowpox. From this cowpox he
took virus and vaccinated children.
The matter took" with all the vigor
of the best virus. The operation was
repeated until DR.. Martin was sure he
had found the bacteria which causes
smallpox. He described it to Dr. Ernst
as "a short, fine bacillus with rounded
ends"
Obtaining the bacteria from people
with smallpox, DR.. Martin reproduced
them through no fewer than fourteen
generations of cultures. He dipped
points in the tube containing the four
teenth culture and gave them to DR..
Williams. The latter vaccinated with
these points and got perfect vaccina-
ton results in one or two cases. DR.
Martin himself aid not carry his cxpcr-
iments far enough to establish this
from his own observation. He tried
ten cases of vaccination direct from
culture tubes but none Of them took -
But he innoculated many calves direct
from his culture tubes and produced
oowpox. In fact, DIR. Ernst said much Of
the virus sent from the Martin estu blish-
ment for two years was produced upon
the calves by NEGOTIATIONS from the cul-
ture tubes.
Before he died DR.. Martin was sure
he had found the bacillus of smallpox
He felt that it only remained to be
shown how the germ could be pro-
duccd by culture so US to vaccinate
without the intermediate production
of cowpox. He had propagated the
germ through generation after gener-
alton, but something more was ncccs-
sary, he felt, to make it available for
practical vaccination without going
through the calf.

ornament, but secondarily they serve a

fact, they make pincushions or emeries
according to size, and can be carried
away as permanent souvenirs Each
model is copied as closely after nature
as possible. The shape is obtained by
careful piecing together Of the various
sections Of white silk.
The color is applied with the brush,
and is made so realistic as to suggest q
practical test of their quality. But the
ideal interest they excite is due to color
