saDguine as to the success of attempts to
use kites in warfare. He pointed out
that the direction of the flight Of kite
was dependent on the wind, and that
t~ere must be a wind of considerable
st ength to lift tire kite at all. Still,
with the conditions right, Mr.. Lamson
was of the opinion that kites might be of
some value for signalling or perhaps for
carrying cameras aioft for the purpose of
obtaining photographs of the position of
an enemy. AS TO dropping explosives
from a kite, Mr.. Lamson said that it
would be simple matter to send up the
explosives and detach them from the kite.
but 1T would be a very different PROPOSE
ton to drop them where they would do
the most good, or rather, the most harm.
In TACT kite being somewhat unruly
servant when in the upper air, it might
Dc necessary for its owner to do some taIi
scram bling to get out from under II they
trled the plan of dropping death IN tnls
way. MIR. Lamson said that from the
deck of a ship it might be possible to
rasle a kite in such way that its Hight
would bring it over the deck OF an enc.
my's vessel. The movement OF the vessel
from which the kite was sent up Woulu
be sufficiently rapid to take the place OF
breeze, and by manoeuvrlng the air snip
might DO gotten over the position OF the
water ship which it was intended to de-
stroy. Mr. Lamson made it plain, how
ever, that he spoke OF these Things only
as interesting possibilities. He has no
expectation that any of them will be
brought about. A kite in the air would
stand good deal of peppering with
small arms provided the frame work was
not injured. When that happened. how
ever, down would come the kite.

Can't Tell Their Husbands Apart.

Jim Hisey, aged As, is a prosperous
grain dealer in Yale. He has wife,
two sons and daughter Will Hisey,
aged As, his brother, lives at Sparta.
He is also married. The two men are
twins, and all through life have been
the living duplicates of each other. So
near alike are they even their wives
cannot tell them apart. They dress
alike, their voices are alike and their
hair and mustaches have tho same color
and curls. When boys, they had to DO
| tagged SO that their parents and teach
ers would know the difference. When
Jim gets crick in the back, Will is
liable to have the same complaint, and
when Will gets the rheumatism Jim al.
SO gets it precisely in the same place
They were formerly both engaged in tho
milling business and served an appren-
ticeship under the same man. They
were born in western Ontario, their
parents being Jacob and Betsy Hisey.
Jim S wife has only one way in which
she can tell her husband from his broth
er. He has slight curve in one of his
fingers, which has to be held up ia fall
view. Then he must give password
before he is received into full fellowship
of the home circle Many amusing in
stances of mistaken identity are told Of
the two.-Detroit Tribune.
