KITES FOR THE BOYS.
Curious and Attractive Designs
Whick Any Ingenious foungster
Can Make without Trouble.

Although the pleasure of kite flying
is undeniable, the boy who is satisfied
to stand and hold string for hours,
making no variation in his amusem
other than to occasionally let out extra
twine and pull it in again, must have
close connection with some kind of
meditative owl.
FIG. shows a kite which is IN ex-
cellent flyer, and neither one extreme
nor the other. Everything is not sacri-
feed for lightness, nor is it so fantas-
tically made thata miniature cyclone is
needed to raise it. A is light wire
bound in place with twine. 1t is. you
will notice. bent slightly concave. The
two longer sticks are each three feet in
length, and the shorter is 21% feet long.
1t is supposed that every boy knows
how to notch each end of the sticks,
and to carry the twine around the out
side of the frame. Cover the frame with
light Manila paper, tapping the edges

When pasting it down be particularly
careful along the wire A.

of different colored paper pasted over
a string, as shown in Fig. 2. There is
string of these indicated at c and D
Gig. y, They are attractive little ad-
ditions, and unless the wind is very
light will be easily raised by the kite.
If found necessary, however, it is very
little trouble to remove them. When
the kite has been raised the papers
keep up an incessant vibration, and
honestly earn the name of humming
birds.
do not suppose there are any boys
who do not know how to make a pin
wheel, and will therefore take that
amount of knowledge for granted. Five
inches of wire are run through cork
and then through .pinwheel made of
stiff paper. Lastly a smaller cork is
added, to keep the wheel in place. Bend
over the ends of the wire, forming two
loops. Make a break in the twine, and
fasten an end to each loop in the wire.
Let the kite raise the wheel some
20 feet in the air, and it will spin glo
riously.

fashion it hangs horizontally to the
wind, and shows to better advantage
than it otherwise would. Cut the staff
off close to the flag, and attach the
strings as shown in the diagram.
Be careful in selecting your twine.
Before trusting perhaps days work to
fragile string, take, at least, the precau-
ton of going over it carefully and cut
ting out all weak spots. The proper
way to handle the kite cord is to.gather
it on a stick. Boys who do not know
how to do this are worthy of profound
pity. | have met only one or two such.
The Bow and Arrow.-Among boys
discussions often arise regarding the
relative strength of different kites and
winds. l have, therefore, thought it
worth while to tell of little device for
testing kites. See Fig. 4. A glance at
this should explain it. The string lead
ing from the kite is attached at A. B
is fastened to some stationary object.
The tug of the kite bends the bow and
draws the arrow over the stand. The
arrow is marked by pounds, half
pounds, etc, and the power of the kite
or wind may thus be registered Make
this bow of some springy wood, such as
hickory, ash or bamboo. A piece of bar
rel stave does very well.
The bow should be perhaps an inch
across in the center, and from this point
taper gradually toward the ends. For
work with very small kites excellent
testers may be made of whalebone. II
.he larger bows are properly made, there
will be few kites which draw the arrow
to the head. On each side OF the
bow piece of wire must be securely
bound, in the form of an arch TO one
piece attach the kite string, to the other
the arrow. Fig. 5 shows the stand. tits

The difference Discovered.

An Albany boy has discovered the
difference between an offering" and a
collection" He has dog named Fido,
and is very fond of him. One day at
dinner the boys father noticed him
taking the best of the portion of roast
beef which had fallen to his lot and
placing it on another plate. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the meat was
for Fido. MY son" said papa, sit would
be better if you ate that meat yourself
and gave Fido the scraps that are left"
The boy protested, but the father was
firm. At the conclusion of the meal the
boy took out to Fido plate heaped with
scraps. "Here, Fido," said the boy, 81
wanted to make you an offering, but
here is only collection" =

RETURNED THE PURSE.
But Not Until He Had Emptied 1t of
Money, Railroad Tickets and
Other Valuables.

Miss H was taking railway jour
ney. A suave old gentleman sitting op-
posite to her presently bent forward
and said, with gentle reproof:
Excuse me, but do you think it wise,
when there are so many thieves about,
to carry your purse so conspicuously?" 2"
AS he spoke, he pointed to her purse,
which was projecting slightly from her
pocket. Miss H, considering the
stranger rather officious, thrust the
porte-monnaie down into her pocket
and thanked him with stiff reserve, per-
haps trife seornfully. AT the next sta
ton the old gentlman got out. AS he
did so, he turned to his pretty vis-a-vis
with a polite bow and the mischievous
indulgence of his years.
"Allow me to restore your purse. You
see it was not so hard to lose as you sup
posed!"
So saying he held out to her the purse
she had supposed was safely reposing
in her pocket. Miss H received it.
coloring with childlike modification,
thanked him profusely, and her old
friend took his leave with friendly
smile. A few minutes later, when the
official came round to collect tickets,
Miss H discovered her purse to be
empty.-London Tit-Bits.

A fire broke out in the capitol at Mad
ison near the eagles large cage. The
blaze created an enormous volume OF
thick black smoke, which entered his
cage. Old Abe screamed for help and
dozens of people rushed to the rescue.
They opened the door of his cage, from
which he escaped. But the bird did not
recover from the smoke and the shock
and on March 26, 1861. expired in the
arms of his attendant, George Gillies.
At first it was proposed that the bird
should be buried with military honors,
but it was finally decided that it would
be better to preserve and stuff him,
and he now stands in the war museum
at Washin gtnn.

He occupied conspicuous place with
the colors for company c was the color
company, and the color bearer and the
Bearer of Old Abe marched side by side.
During the war Old Abe did gallant
service. 1t was his nature to be greatly
excited in the midst of turmoil and to
become calm when it was over. He al
ways announced the approach of the
enemy by a note of alarm, and during
the battle would hover in the air, watch
ing the outcome of the contest. He be-
came as famous among the confederates
as among the union army. The men
made him a rallying cry, and the sight
of the bird would give them new cour-
age for battle. So well was this under
stood, that at the siege of Corinth the
confederate Gen. Price ordered his men
to seize or capture the bird, and he de-
clared that he would rather capture
Old Abe than a whole brigade"
But although wounded at the battle
of Cornth and afterward before Vicks-
burg, as well as en- route from Memphis
10 Helena, he survived the war. Old
Abe's biographer says:
Finally after 46 days of struggle and
privation, hardship and peril, and dur
ing 16 days of which the average for
each man was but a single cracker per
day, the federal army, with the Black
Eagle of Illinois (John A. Logan) at its
head and the bald eagle of Wisconsin on
its left, entered Vicksburg amid wild
huzzas and the blare of trumpets on
July 4. 1868"
1t is said that the plumed knight was
one of the first to scale the ramparts
and invest Fort De Russy. To him is
given the credit for the capture of the
confederate cruiser with dispatches,
which led to the taking of the confeder-
ate garrison and outfit at Hendersons
Hill.
Old Abe came home in 1864 with his
company on furlough. After his re-
turn to his native place, which was in
what is now known as Price county, it
was resolved that he should be present.
ed to his native state, and on September
26 the company made the gift to the
governor, who accepted it in behalf of
Wisconsin.
Old Abe died at the age of 90 years.

FAMOUS WAR EAGLE.
Old Abe, the Mascot of the Eighth
Wisconsin Volunteers.
He Took Part in Thirty-Six Battles
and Was Wounded Several Times
Now Stands in the War Mu-
seum at Washington.

1t is unlikely that there will be any
mascot during the war with Spain who
will gain a popularity as great as that
enjoyed by "Old Abe" the war eagle.
No more famous bird ever lived. 1t is
mot too much to say that the most VlVld
recollection of the war in the memory
of old Chcagoans is that of "Old Abe
at the head of the. Wisconsin regiments
as they passed through the city on their
way to the front. All over the country
he was equally as celebrated.
Old Abe was bought for bushel OF
corn. Afterward Barnum offered $2e,-
600 for him. but of course the offer was
refused. His captor was an Indian,
who found him in 1861 on the Flambeau
river, near the line between Ashland
and Price counties in Wisconsin. The
bird was young then, and the Indian
sold him to Daniel Mccain, of Eagle
Point, for bushel of corn.
The birds military experience began
"a few months later. He was given to
military company which had just been
organized by Capt. John E. Perkins for
the Eighth regiment. The eagle was
sworn in by putting round his neck red,
white and blue ribbons and on his
breast a rosette of the same color.
James McGinnis was made his at
tendant.
The name Old Abe, says the Chicago
Times-H Herald, was given to the eagle
at Madison in honor of President Lin
coin.
Old Abe was with the regiment from
fhe time it was mustered in, and he
never left it. Quartermaster Billings
anade him a perch in the shape of
heart, patriotically and properly
adorned, and there he stood at the head
of his regiment
No general attracted as much atten-
rion on the way south as did Old Abe.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.
The x-Ray In Dentistry.

The most remarkable application OF
the X-ray was recently made in case
in which a child's mouth was made to
do duty as a Photographic camera 1t
was part of an operation in dental sur
gerry. The first. or deciduous, teeth are
generally absorbed before a child IS Il
years old, and new teeth supply their
places. Occasionally some Of the first
teeth remain in place much longer ana
the second set is late in appearing. II
such cases the new teeth seldom grow
straight and trouble frequently re-
suits before their appearance IS de-
tected.
A progressive dentist in New York
state had a case in which he suspected
d delayed second tooth, but no external
examination could either prove or dis
prove the theory. He finally decided on
recourse to the X-ray. a mold of the
upper part Of the mouth was made in
wax and allowed to harden. On it was
chiseled a Hat surface directly back Of
the portion of the jaw to be photo
graphed, and just large enough for a
Photographic film less than an inch
square. The film is simply "trip OF
thin celiulOid coated with an emulsion
which is sensitive to light. In dark
room the film was cut to such shape
that it would lie evenly on the plain
surface chiseled in the wax mold II
was then carefully protected by a
double wrapping of black paper, so
that it would not be acted upon by
common light The film, together with
the wax mold. was placed in the mouth
of the patient, and the head held per-
fectly still for several minutes, while
heavy current excited the &-ray tube
placed in front of the face. Although
the Photographic film would be abso-
iutely unaffected by ordinary light IN
its carefully prepared envelope, the
X-ray readily penetrated this envelope
and cast on the film a shadow of all
the parts intervening between the tube
and film. On developing the film IN a
dark room two small first teeth were
clearly shown in the jaw, but their
roots were partially absorbed. Behind
them, and too far UP to be shown by
an exterior examination, large second
tooth projected obliquely downward.
Supplied with the negative thus OBJ
tanned by means of the X-ray, the dem
fist now has a clear idea of the con-
dition he has to deal with, and it rests
with his skill to adjust the difficulties.

A Curious Organ.

An organ which the leading organist
of New York could not play is now
being used by professors Of Cornell col
lege. This organ is not. as might he
supposed, out of tune. 1t is because
it is in perfect tune that it differs so
radically from an ordinary organ The
ordinary organ. such as is used in
churches and drawing rooms, is not in
tune, even after the maker has just
declared it to be in perfect condition
The Cornell organ was invented by
Won Holmholtz. and it contains pure
ly mathematical scale. It is made for
the compos ition of chords such as are
not to be obtained on an ordinary ic-
strument and is used to study the vi
bration of notes, and of what tone an
organ note is made. Every tone in mu-
sic is to be found on this organ. For
instance. what are known as sharps
and flats on the piano are not really
sharps and flats. sharp and D fiat
are struck on the same black key, but,
strictly speaking, that black key IS
neither: il is a note or tone situated
midway between c sharp and d Hat
II both of the latter were on the piano,
however. the difference between them
is so slight that it would confuse the
player. So a compromise is made, and
the two are blended. or, rather, the tone
But in Cornell the organ contains
KEYS for every note in the scale, no
matter how fine the graduation. With
It students can see just how note on
the organ is built up. Certain notes
on the organ are made up OF certain
other tones. On the ordinary piano you
would not be able to illustrate what
these notes are. You would need the
true sharps and flats in order to COM
r.oea the notes The OVertOnes on the
domestic instrument would be quite diff
ferent- The pure fifth. which can here
be accurately denoted, is very much
curtailed on the piano. Used in con
nection with this organ are complete

order to find ont how many reservations
are contained in given note il is only
necessary to strike the note. Those
forks which resound in sympathy with
il are sure to be included in tbs make
up of the note. The silent ones are not
