1t is easy to misunderstood and easy

happily, it is easy to give and to accept
an explanation.
Il did think 1 would never come to

prominent society woman who had
come to the country to visit her and
was about to start homeward. "It's kind
of you to ask me, Of course, but I re-

FORE The fat girl with a penchant for
the pathetic had wrung the eyes of her

''Spartacus to the Gladiators" in such

The parents had departed astonished

ograph. It is a complicated and remark

Four different meteorological condi-
lions are recorded by the four pens of
this instrument: The pen on the right
traces line on the paper which shows
the humidity Of the air, the pen being
actuated by a strand Of human hairs
stretched inside the long tube seen at
the top Of the figure. These hairs
lengthen when subjected to moist air
and shorten in dry air.
The next pen toward the left traces
a line upon the record sheet which
shows the pressure Of the air, the men

pressure and humidity pens In the fig.

The next pen traces line showing
the temperature of the air, which acts
upon a special form of Thermometer
contained within the long tube at the
top. When the Instrument is attached
to the kite the wind blows directly
through this tube, thereby acting
strongly upon both the thermometer
and the hair hygrometer inside.

distributed over the United States, and
to make daily ascensions, sending up
automatic instruments to the nearly
uniform height Of mile, if possible,
the object being to secure a record Of
the meteorological conditions in the air
Earlier experiments made in the
Weather Bureau and elsewhere had
demonstrated the possibility of using
kites for such a purpose, but much re-
NAMED to be done to bring the whole
kite apparatus to that state Of efficiency
required in securing successful execu-
ton of so difficult an undertaking.
While the Weather Bureau has been
doing this work Of daily observations a
mile high above the earth, Independent
kite ascensions have been made by sew
eral private individuals, the most I'M
portant Of which in the United States
are the ascensions made at the Blue
Hill Observatory, near Boston.
The results from a single station of
this sort serve to show only the change
in atmospheric conditions as the kites
pass up or down through successive
strata; or, if the kites are kept contin-
uously at a fixed elevation; the obser-
vations show the change in conditions
from hour to hour
The modern scientific kite is a far
more efficient structure than any of the
well-known toys, but its construction is
correspondingly complicated, and, in
most cases, somewhat more than the
average mechanical skill and facilities
are required to build one. The illustra-

The great Importance in meteorolog-
ical studies and weather forecastingy OF
such observations as can be obtained
by means Of kites is apparent: These
give the conditions prevailing in the
free atmosphere, often in and above the
clouds themselves, at points far, re-
moved from the disturbing effects of
great cities, forests, the earth's surface,
etc. In fact observations thus obtained
are characteristic conditions Of great
masses of the atmosphere, and when
determined regularly and completely
they afford far more exact and prob
ably earlier indications Of important
forthcoming atmospheric changes than
the most elaborate. observations taken
at the surface. The tops Of our highest
buildings, after all, are only an insig-
nificant distance up in the free air, and
all surface conditions always are mod
i led as result Of the actual contact of
the air with the earth and the imme-
date effect of the latter upon dfacent
