"The suddenness with which the
summons came will make more keen
the sorrow which the public generally
will feel at the death of so great, SO

agreed with his theories found in
him an ideal leader, while those who

Editor CLISoH VALLEY News,

Dear sir:
| will fulfill the promise made
you the night 1 left Virginia.
We had quite pleasant trip

fine country, but found il all suffer.
ing from drought. The grass and
every thing was dried up through
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas until we reach
ed tho southern limit of the last
named state, and when We reached
Indian Territory the grass was green
and everything looked prosperous.
The people say this country suf
fsred from a very severe drought
last year.
We arrived at this town, Davis,
on Saturday, Oct. 10th. 1t is quite
live town, and one just from an old
state is dazed with the whirl Of bus
iness. The streets are full of cot
ton wagons each day.
There has been t~o good rains Of
about twelve hours each since
came. Our first frost was on Oclo
ber 29th, and the second and last
up to this date, Nov 2nd. This
climate is delightful in Spring, Win
ter and Fall, but expect it gels
pretty hot in summer
The country is a variety. You
can SEQ in one days travel all kinds
of land, from the finest black land
to that which is utterly worthless
and rocky and it is mixed with tina
ber and prairie, though it all lays
well, no high ridges or steep hills.
Between this place and Lehigh they
say there is mountain, / crossed it.
Approaching it from the east we
came up quite hill where the rocks
lay just at the top of the ground,
but when we reached the top the
co untry was level as far as the eye
could see, and there is no man liv-
ing can tell where the west side Of
that mountain is.
This is a fine county for per-
son with little money to get a start
in. There is a great deal more mon
ey in circulation here among the
laboring classes than there is in Vir.
ginia, especially at this season of
the year. Tho farmers all raised
more or less cotton and are now find.
ing ready sales for crops. 1 under
stand that some of them are very
hard pressed in the Spring, after they
have spent their cotton money but
the farmers who raise a diversity of
crops and stock are ali doing well.

it was found that balloons were unable

Prof. C.. F. Marvin, of the weather
bureau, has undertaken an investiga.
ton Of kites and their construction.
Investigators who care to 20 into tho
mathematical and scientific details will
find plenty of material in his report,
which was issued in July. 1896. His ex-
periments have been principally in the
construction of kites which will give
the best results. When this has been
accomplished the weather bureau will
make use of these kites in sending M

Two lines were attached to this float,

the population of Evanston and large
number of the people of Chicago and
the towns around the upper end of
Lake Michigan have become interested
In watching for Mr.. Harbert's kites, as
well as for air ships. Il VI
The progress of his experiments led
him irresistably to the conclusion that
kites might be put to practical use in
carrying messages across large bodies
OF water, and his later trials have been
the working out Of that theory. To
take the place of the reel from which
the line was paid out ON land. and BY
which the kite was steadied he designed
q float, or drag, for the water, which
would at once carry the end of the line
and steer the kite. He watched for sew
eral weeks for west wind to carry his
kites across Lake Michigan, but it re-
fused to come. Weary of waiting. he at
length started two sets of kites from
Evanston Monday, April &c. Attached
to each set was the following request

%+,s sS SAMUEL MERWYN. (
Mr.. Merwyn is a young man who has
been associated with Mr.. Harbert in his
experiments. The kites were set adrift
from Evanston about ten o'clock in the
forenoon. A strong wind was blowing
from the northeast. 1t would not be
supposed that the circumstances were
favorable to sending kite away from
the shore, but'by an arrangement of the
float which will be explained later, this
was accomplished. The two sets of
kites sailed away toward the south
with their drags in tow. Later in the
day, one of them was found on point
of the lake shore near the suburb, of
Buena park. The other went toward
South Chicago. .->.
Experiments have been made by the
life saving service in sailing kites be-
fore the wind from wrecked vessels to
the shore, but, so far as can be learned,
this is the first attempt to send a
kite In direction oblique to the
wind. This feat was accomplished by
a device at once simple and effective. A
float was made of two timbers IL feet
Dong, united by two pieces of plank.
