EXPERIMENTS WITH KITES.
Novel Tests Which Are Intended to
Assist Ships Which Are Dis
abled at Sea.

Interesting experiments have been.
made at Marseilles with kites to ascer-
tain the general direction of the winds
and to develop theories regarding air
currents. Ten kites were launched re-
Gently, to each of which was tied a
light float carrying this message:
Report my position when found
A week later five of the kites had
reached the African coast. Eight of
the kites were met a t sea and set going
again after the ship captains had read
the message.
The experimenter claims that this
is the best way for disabled boat to
send tidings. After the first day the
kites are SO far apart that different
winds will catch them and push them
in all directions. Three French steam
ers about to sail will carry these i'm
proved kites and floats, which they will
launch at many points experimentally.

Series of Yacht Races.


In overhauling the burned sails Of
Shamrock II. in the ruins Of the Erie
basin fire the other morning the fact
came to light that Sir Upton came pre-
pared to spring a huge joke on the
Americans if he had won the America
cup. It also clearly indicates that he
expected to win it. In the mass of par
TALLY burned sails that were stored in
the loft above the carpenter shop were
seen some pieces of vivid green. When
opened up several sails were hauled
out from the wreckage, all of emerald
green.
Later it became known that in the
event of Shamrock H. winning two of
the races this green suit was to have
been worn in the third and deciding
race. It is said also that this green
suit of sails never saw the light of
day, but was bent and stretched at
night while the boat lay in the Horse
shoe at Sandy Hook
The discovery of the green sails was
the cause of much mirth. There. is an
ugly rumor afoat to the effect that the
fire started in the engine room Of the
boiler shop and came from the OUT

value at a moderate estimate is $751;
500. All these dogs have won cham
pionship honors in various shows
held in England during the last two
years. Dog fanciers on this side of

best of the lot is the magnificent
bull bitch Champion Thackeray Soda,
which last month swept everything
before her for her set at the Nation

Yacht Restless for President.

Work has just been started on the
yacht Restless, which for the past
three months has been lying in the
navy yard, Brooklyn. 1t is said that
the boat when fitted out will be used
by the president and secretary of the
navy as a yacht in place of the May
flower, as was proposed some months
ago. 1t will take two months at least
to get the boat in trim to go to sea,
as she will have to undergo thor
ough overhauhng. J. Frederick Tams
was the former owner. At the time
of the Spanish war he sold her to the
government and she was used as
dispatch boat. After service in the
south Atlantic waters she was placed
in the navy yard. The Restless is 1872
feet long, with a 16-foot beam and an
1S-foot draught. She was built for
Mr.. Tams in 1887.

THE MAKING OF A MAN.
How an Independent Southern Wom-
an Helped Her Husband to
Success

The story really begins with a
woman, a beautiful southerner. Com
ing north she met the beau of a New
England village, a man who lived on
the family fortune and made himself
more or less useful as squire of
danes at parties, picnics and balls.
They fell in love with each other and
were married, says Youths Compan-
ion.
The man would have been quite
willing to continue to share his moth
er's bounty. The wife would not con-
sent. Don't be dependent" she said.
"Go to work." The spark of man
hood in him famed at that, and he
tried his best; but people who knew
him only laughed at his applica ation
for employment. He had to admit
that he did not know how to do any
thing well. 1t seemed to him that he
had no excuse for existing at all.
'Then," said his wife, Il will get
work for you, and you must take
what I can get.' The only place that

longed to a boy who was to be pro-
NOTED to a better. It was a boys
work at boys wages, but the grown
man took it,
Now the wife showed her quality in
another way. She insisted that they
must live on her husbands earn
ings, such as they were, and the pair
moved into one room, near the mill.
The former belle wore cheap gowns
and did her own housework Prob
ably she as well as her husband
learned something by the experience.
And how he worked! Promotions
came to him, for he more than earned
them. Now he is one of the propri-
etors of the mill in which he started
as 35-year-old "boy," and his wife is
the idol of his family and the admira-
tion of the village.
This story is vouched for as true in
every detail. It should have special
interest for. girls who long for a
career" for it suggests that, if no
public way opens, they can have one
at home. The world moves only as
individuals advance, and the forward
impulse is best aided by those who
stand nearest.
