tricity Of a storm cloud has also been
employed for carrying up self-register-
ing thermometers to great attitudes.
The United States Weather Bureau,
by simultaneous observation over a
wide area, has learned much about
atmospheric conditions at an eleva-
ton of nearly ten thousand feet. At
The private observatory of a. Law
renee Rotch, near Boston. kites have
been sent up twelve thousand and fif-
teen thousand feet. Photographs have
in the same way been obtained far
above the earth's surface, and num-
Der Of DARING and ingenious army Of
icers have sought to sustain them
selves in the air at sufficient eleva-
ton to reconnoitre. These last men-
toned ventures, though rather promis-
ing, have not been attended with any
marked success. Still, the vast ma
jority of those who fly kites do so for
recreation and not for purposes Of re-
search.
At the shops one can find great
variety of kites. Some are shaped
like yachts, and others like eagles.
These are rather expensive, however.
The more common forms, both in the
toy trade and among scientists, are
the Eddy and box kites. Both of these
are tailless, which fact simplifies the
work of flying them. though calling
for little greater precision in con-
struction.
1t is possible for a person endowed
with a fair amount Of mechanical
skill to make his own kites. Inasmuch
as II is common to fly several at once,
tandem, and as there is more or less
loss from hreakage sooner or later,
one naturally wishes to have any
where from two to a dozen, and it
that number were purchased ready
made the cost would not be trifing.
For the Eddy kite two sticks are
required, one upright and the other
crossing it at right angles, one-fifth
Of the way from the top. The proper
tion is eighteen per cent. to be exact.
Straight grain white pine or spruce
IS the best wood, and for kite three
or four feet high the sticks should be
half an inch wide, and quarter of
an inch thick. At the intersection the
sticks should be fastened together
with brads or twine. The ends being
suitably notched, twine or fine wire
should be tightly stretched around
them.
Before this stage of construction is
reached certain other measures must
be taken, in order to give the kite a
slightly bulging front. The cross stick
should be bent backward like an
archer's bow, and the curvature pre-
served by a string from end to end.

II had a strange experience n few

to know about things. ut was while
l was getting on Sixth avenue troll

yelled and turned around like fash,
but the only one near me was an old
lady. She didn't seem to be n person
who would do thing of that kind. On
the contrary, she looked at me as much
as to say: What's the matter? Are
you crazy?' took my seat, meek, but
puzzled.
"When I left the car the same thing
happened, and it set me to thinking.
almost began to believe in spirits.
Finally I figured it out in this way: l

platform was wet and there were lots
of electricity running around loose. In
other words, when my foot hit the
platform 1 got an electric shock. Am
I right ?"-New York Mail and

horizontal braces thirty-eight inches
long. The cells are of cloth. hcmmed
on both edges, thirteen inches wide
and eighty-onc inches long. Two of
these are needed, of course.
Eddy kites are easily sent up with
out assistance. To raise box kite it
is wise to let out $50 or 200 feet Of
string; have this lie exactly in line
with the wind, and get some one to
hold the kite lightly until the wind
catches it and begins to lift. At the
instant it is released fifteen or twenty
feet Of cord should be pulled in. That
performance has the same effect on
the kite as running. If the kite shows

should fit a little loosely, so that on
each side of the upright stick the
wind will make shallow pockets. A
bride for flying is made by tying one
string to the bottom of the upright
stick and another to the intersection
of the two, their lengths being such
that the upper end will go out at right
angles from the face Of the kite. The
bride terminates in a loop. and the
kite string is tied to the latter.

CHAPTER VI.

For some distance on the road to
Stroan the delicious glow cast upon
him by this stimulating conversation
lasted and made Clifford as happy as
q bird.
But when the irregular outline of
the old-fashioned town grew more de-
fined under the September sky, and
the meeting with Jordan and Cony-
beare grew nearer he had to concern
himself with the manner in which he
should get out of the difficulties which
his stay under the roof of the Blue
Lion had brought upon him.
What had they heard and what
what would they believe?
He had not to ask himself these
questions long, for before he rea ached
the town he came upon Jordan with an
easel, a sketch-book and pipe. and
Conybeare with strapful Of books
and white umbrella.
Their demeanor was not kindly to-
ward the errant Clifford. A garbled
version of the story of the robbery
had, indeed, reached them already, and
they had both made up their minds
that Nell was the thief. Willie Jordan,
Of course, was the more inclined to
this view from his resentment at hav
ing been "cut OUT by Clifford, who, on
his side, was reticent and entirely ST.
lent on the subject of the sudden in
fatuation which had led him to pro-
pose marriage to the girl.
Very soon the subject Of the Blue
Lion and it's inhabitants was tacitly
tabooed among the friends, and it was
not until ten days later that any Of
them found their way to the little inn
by the shore.
When they did so, however. they
were disappointed in the object OF
their visit. Nell was never to be seen,
and not one of the three young men
ever dared to ask for her, as George
Claris, looking upon them apparently
as fellow w-conspirators against the fair
fame Of his house, was curt to the
verge Of rudeness to them all.
Now this invisibility on the part of
Nell, far from cooling Clifford's quick
ly sprung-up passion, served only to in
fame it further But it was in vain
he wrote-in vain he hung about the
neighborhood. Although on two or
three occasions he caught sight of her.
she always disappeared before IL.
could come near.
The ,ast day Of the stay of the three
friends arrived, and they made one
dcspairing attempt to bid her good-hy.
Clifford had preserved his reticenre
concerning the girl, but the other two
more than suspected him. Willie had
so?teGed in his views of the mystcr:-
Gus affair, and it was now only Cony-
bcare who persisted in a harsh juds-
mcnt of the innkeeper's niece.
She was just the sort of girl. he said.
