KITES AND THEIR PRICES
The Modern Scientific Flyer Has Des
come d Comfortable Item
of Trade.

Scientific kites of one kind and an.
other. such as within the past few years
have engaged public attention, are now
articles of large sale. There is one
wholesale dealer in toys and kites in
this city who issues a 16-page cat
alogue devoted solely to kites and kite
requisites and appliances. Scientific
kites are sold not only all over this
country and in Canada, but in Aus
tralia. South Africa, England, Scotland
and the various countries of continent
al Europe; an order for 5000 box kites
was received in this city last week
by cable from Paris. There are num-
Der of patents on these scientific kites,
which are patented also in foreign coun-
tries.
A box kite such as was sold two years
ago for 81 and last year for so cents is
sold this season for % cents. There
are. however, various sizes and styles
of box kites selling up to 81 each. All
the box kites either roll up or fold up
into small compass when not fixed for
flying. There is one called the umbrel-
la box kite, which can be opened ready
for flying just as an umbrella is opened
ready for use. There is now sold ship
kite, which is rugged like a sloop, with
iib, mainsail and club topsail. The box
kites have no tails. The ship kite, as it
rises and floats in the air, is balanced
by an anchor suspended from the hull,
which moves along through the air
with the kite. Besides the box kites
and the ship kites there are other sci
cntific kites and airships, made in vari.
Gus sizes, and that are sold at from 81
to $40 each.
Box kites are often joined together
and flown in groups of two. three, four
or more, and these and other modern
kites are flown in tandem also. Flying
in tandem the modern kites are used
for floating flags and banners and Ian
terms. 1t is a familiar fact that cam
eras are now carried up by kites for TAX
ing pictures from midair. There are
cameras especially designed for this
purpose. There are sold kite lines in
various sizes and lengths suited to the
| various sizes and styles of scientific
kites, and there are also made nowaday:
number of styles of hand reels and
windlass kite reels upon which to vino
the kite lines.
These various kinds and styles Of
modern scientific kites are flown no
only by young people but by adults al
well, at lawn parties and at the sea
shore, for outdoor recreation ant
amusement.-N. Y. Sun.

The man in question used to say he kl ew

Now, it was a horrible night, and he was

THE ILLINOIS A GOLD MINE.
There Are Over 5000 Men Engaged In
the Fish Industry Of That
Stream.

Over 5000 men are employed in the
fish industry of the Illinois river. Each
year this industry expands and extends,
and it is but a question of time when
that river will be accepted by Illinois
as one of the principal sources of food
supply in the state. The big fishing
point of the river, where the business
is handled in a wholesale way, are
Henry, Lacon, Chillicothe, Peoria, Pekin,
Havana, Bath, Browning, Beardstown,
Meredosia, Kampsville, and Grafton.
The fishing season-that is, the COM
mercial season. when the law permits
the use of seines in the river-opens
July and closes April Is. During that
time the fishing companies with their
tug boats and smaller steam craft har-
vest the fishing crop, using seines which
vary in length from 500 to 1880 yards.
In Lake Peoria alone there are nine
seines, each 1000 yards long, and last
year in one haul over $500 pounds of
German carp were taken. AS the fisher
man received three cents pound for his
fish ION the ground" that single haul
was WORTH Vl,S1u. wear bcdIuSlOWH
single haul of the seine brought 100000
pounds of fish.
The fish are packed in boxes in 49,
pound lots, slowed away in refrigerator
cars, and most of the carp and buffalo
are shipped to New York. Chicago
takes about 10000 pounds of carp a
week from Peoria in the season. Then
there is a system of live storage. by
which the captured fish are kept alive
until winter, when better price can
be obtained for them. The fish are
loosed into pens, which are made by
driving stakes close together into the
bottom of bayou or shallow bay near
the point of shipment. Here the cap
tiyes thrive and fatten until they are
netted again and placed on ice for ship.
