Grafton of living men were poYe 'no
kite was looked upon merely as
curious toy, but one that could give
an infinite amount of pleasure dur
ing the windy months of early spring
But today kites of all sizes and shapes
are flying in the sky and, instead OF
BOYS, gray-headed men are holding
the strings and watching their grace
full evolutions in the upper atmos-
phere.
Long before American men OF
science took to kite flying, however,
the men of China and Japan did not
consider it beneath their dignity to
construct kites and fly them during
the season. In these two countries
kite flying was carried into the realm
of art. Before our own Franklin
used the kite for bringing electricity
down from the clouds a famous
Chinese general had made practical
use of the toy in measuring the dis
lance of citadel which he intended
to undermine. The Chinese have
INDUCED in kite flying from time
immemorial, and their constructions
are OF special interest. They are
made of the lightest bamboo splints
and soft native paper. Their shapes
are legion. Nearly all the gods,
dragons. and historical characters of
their mythology are initiated, as well
as birds, beasts, and insects.
Any boy who realizes how nicely
adjusted kite must be to float easily
into the air, can appreciate the
amount of skill the Chinese kite
makers must have employed to con-
struct their oddly shaped toys. But
the Chinese always made their paper
full, like parachute. so that the wind
would get under it and support it
the method now adopted by the man
ufacturers of the modern American
tailess kites. Thus, humming
bird made by a Chinese kite artist
would have wings like half a balloon,
and the air under these would almost
support the structure when dead
calm prevailed.
The Chinese and the Japanese were
the first to fly several kites attached
to one string. During the past sum-
mer American kites of the Eddy type
have been flown in focks, half doz-
en- or more being attached to one
string, and through their combined
pulling power flags have been hoisted
several hundred feet into the air. In
China it is not uncommon to see a
dozen kites attached to one string,
representing a flock of birds, the
stars in the heavens, or a group of
their hideous idols. In the kite flying
season the air is literally swarming
with bird and insect kites of all sizes
and descriptions. 1t is national
pastime with the men as well as with
the boys and girls.
In Japan kite flying has assumed
very little less importance than in
China, but the curious toys do not
assume so many forms and represen-
tations as in the Celestial empire
The kites are usually nearly square,

getting ready to build an M. r. church,
and the good people of Wyanett are
also planning to erect place of wor-
ship. Our advice would be, build one
church and support one minister in
decent shape. But then it is easier to
starve two preachers than properly
support one. -.> - -.
