addition of a wooden brace behind it,
which should be half the length of the
stick, and ought to be carefully round
ed to fit the natural curve ofythe lat
ter. Brads will secure it properly to
the stick.
Thin manila paper or light silk or
muslin will make a suitable covering,
being tough yet not heavy This
should fit 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
the other to the intersection of the
two, their lengths being such that the
upper one will go out at right angles
with the face of the kite. The bride
should terminate in a loop, to faciIi-
tate attaching the main string for fly
! ing.
When several kites are sent up tan
dem greater elevation can be secured
than with a single one, especially if
the series is weighted with instru-
ments. One kite having been raised
sufficiently to take care of itself, a
second is sent up and connected by
100 or 500 feet of cord to the string of
the first. After little more line is
paid out a third kite may be attached
| in the same manner.
If flag is to be sent up, it should be
| tackled to a stick that is heavy enough
to hang vertically, and the upper end
of the stick tied to the kite string
when the kite or team of kites has
gone up only a short distance. If the
kites are large and several are sent
up together, the strain on the line is
so great that fine steel wire is better
than Irvine. A reel or windlass, an
chored firmly to the ground, will IA
cilitate handling team that might
otherwise become unmanageable.-N

MISTAKES OF BoER FIGHTERS.
They Co.nmitted a Great Error in
Not Following the Professional
Advice of Soldiers.

Under the title eau Transyaal ct
dams lie Sud-Africain,' the well-known
publisher, Gu. Delagrave, has issued a
sumptuous volume from the pen of a
young French officer, NJ. Roger Raoul-
Duval. who acted as French military
attache to the armies of the Trans
vaa1 and the Orange Republic during
the late war. The writer confines
himself to what occurred under his
own eyes, working up hasty notes
taken down from day to day amid all
the hustle of actual warfare. It is,
therefore, work of actually, filled
with life and personality, reprod1c-
ing with the graphic pen the immedi-
ate impressions of the hour, states the
New York Sun.
Most of the Beers of note passed I'M
der the observation OF the young sol
der, and his work faithfully records
the salient features of their character
that most impressed him.
There is a good deal about de Vile
bois-Mareuil and other French volun-
.eers, and the writer clearly is of the
opinion that the Beers were guilty of
a great error mot following the pro-
fessional advice of trained soldiers.
He was also much struck by the Amer
lean cowboys who served with the
Beers under Lieut.: Shaw. Of them
he says:
''These fellows are splendid men,
some of them being veritable giants.
Generally the cowboys are naturally
lively, yet well in hand; notwithstand-
ing their gayety; they stick to camp
and are remarkably sober; very re-
markable feature in volunteers. . i.
One of them played, one day, a merry
prank on an English sentry in the close
neighborhood of Bloemfontein. The
incident is characteristic of the bold
| recklessness of these men.
''While on gentry-go, and doubtless
to be more at his ease, brave Tommy
had hung his greatcoat to tree. The
cowboy crept like a snake to the spot
and carried off the greatgoat to camp.
There he and his comrades made an
inspection of its pockets, finding
therein packet of tobacco and a
pocketbook which contained among
other papers, a letter and a photo
graph of a young girl, probably the
sentry's Du1cinea. Regardless of the
risks he ran, the cowboy crept back,
replaced the coat with the letter and
photograph, taking care to add a
pleasant word TO the soldier on the
smart cut of his uniform and his best
| thanks for the tobacco"

AIR RUNS THIS DYNAMO.

be of some value. In erecting the
apparatus it is necessary to provide
a tall stack or vertical tube of a sort
capable of inducing a strong current
of air through an opening at the
lower end. AS a means of inducing
an initiatory current a heating APP
paratus is located at the bottom of
the stack, that shown in the present
instance being an electric heater,
though a fire may be used if more
convenient. The function of the
heater is to warm the air sufficiently
to cause it to rise, thus drawing
fresh air into the entrance and re-
voIving the fan blades carried by the
shaft of the electric generator. By
limiting the size of the dynamo SO
as not to overload the fan blades a
constant generation can be main
tanned and in instances where the
power is needed during only por-
ton of the time the storage bat
teries provide a force of no small
dimensions. One use to which this
apparatus might be put is the charg-

DAMAGED BY SEA WATER.
Steel Rails succumb Rapidly to Cor.
rOsiOn in the Tropics Near
the Sea-

Mr.. Bricks, one of the engineers in
charge of the railroads owned by the
French government, recently read a
paper in which he said that sea wa
ter. particularly in tropical coun-
tries, has very destructive influence
on steel rails. A few weeks ago the
same observation was made by Mr.
Delpra5, the engineer in charge of
the Dutch railroad in Sumatra.
This gentleman says that the short
railroad at Port Emma, on the coast
of Sumatra, which has been in opera
ton for ten years, and which occu-
pies a position only little above
mean high tide, has been greatly
damaged by sea water, the rails hav-
ing been largely eaten away by rust.
The rails on one of the shorter
branches of this road, which runs
over a breakwater, have been dimin-
ished in weight by about two and a
half pounds for every three and a
half feet of the length of the rails.
He says that every year these rails
are losing about four per cent. OF
the weight of new rails. The width
of the rail surface has been dimin-
ished about one inch.

: CRAB RACING AS A SPORT.
New and Popular Diversion of the
Fashionable Frequenters of
Eastern Seaside Resorts.

Crab-racing is not like Mark Twain's
jumping frog game and it is not exact
ly like racing beetles off hot plates, but
it suggests both those time-honored
games. The crab race, however, is a
new thing in sporting annals, and is
said to be an English importation
brought over from the English water
ing places by young college student,
reports an eastern exchange.
In. this form of sport each of the con-
testants gets a crab to begin with and
holds it son the mark The start is
made at a place not far from the wa
ter, and when. released the crab seeks
its natural element. The person whose
crab first passes under the wire which
is stretched parallel With and close to
the water wins the game and bet.
Some member of the party with a
long net stands near the shore, so that
as soon as particularly fast crab gets
into the water it can be scooped in
and brought back for start in race
for the fieetest. The crabs go in all
sorts of zigzags to the finish line.
A college youth who was at Glen Is
land recently with his mother and
sweetheart suggested the sport. A
Boston woman was rather suspicious
of the game. fearing that it would not
be held to be strictly good form ac-
cording to Back Bay and Common
wealth avenue standards, but she was
soon convinced of its propriety by a
Brooklyn curate, who said there could
be nothing fast about crab.
A committee of three was appointed
to obtain the crabs. After an hours
work some three dozen crabs were OBJ
tanned and the track was made ready
for the race.
Each maid. matron and man select
ed a crab, and this in itself was merry
sport Trial races were run of first
and the crabs that proved to be selling
platers were allowed to escape into the
water.
Finally, after the animals had been
= well tried out, each contestant OBJ
tanned a satisfactory crab and book
was started on the result of the races.
Everything but money was wagered--
gloves, candy, cigars, ribbons, dinners.

THE SUN HARNEssED.
Glorious Orb of Day Does Mans Bid
ding in Many Directions on a
California Farm.

There have been many attempts to
harness old Sol, to make him work at
mans bidding so that his rays, trapped
and put to new uses, shall take the
place of coal or wood as producer of
motive power. Clever minds in all
ages have been at work to devise the
necessary trap. Several more or less
practical machines have resulted, but
none so perfect, so full of promise as
the great sun motor now engaged in
storing up the suns heat at the we'll
known Pasadena ostrich farm in Cali
fornia.
By the suns heat water is boiled,
the steam working a powerful engine,
capable of pumping some ], 400 gallons
of water in a minute.
From a distance the California sun
motor looks like a huge open umbrella
inverted and with piece sawn off its
top. It is balanced on high steel
framework and is set at such an angle
that it will catch the sunbeams on it's
1888 mirrors. Each of these mirrors
measures two feet in length and three
inches across and reflects, the sunshine
on to long cylinder sponding to
the handle of the umbrella, which
holds about 100 gallons of water. The
boiler is made of steel, covered with
a heat absorbing material.
The, hot, persistent California sun
that shines almost every day of the
year when reflected from the mirrors
on the boiler, causes such heat that it
is possible to obtain $50 pounds of
steam pressure in one hour from cold
water When the machine is made
ready for work-a task for a boy, who
has merely to turn crank until an
Indicator shows that the sun is truly
focused on the mirrors-it will move
around so that its face is kept turned
to the sun all day without further
manipulation under the force of an
automatic engine. The boiler is auto
matically supplied with water, a safe
ty valve releasing the steam if the
pressure should become too great
All day, every day, from an hour after
| sunrise to half hour before SHUTDOWN
this tireless heat concentration keeps
its shining face turned to the sun
storing up an energy which may be
put to almost any use. 1t works under
| the powerful California sun as well in
| winter as summer.-Pearson' Maya

LOVES PROOF.

How can I prove my love to you.
You whom I love SO well?
What Ean / say, what can do,
All doubts henceforth to quell?
No vows 1 make, vows are too weak,
In them no proof would lie;
Some other method I must seek
> N.Y. he&rt to satisfy.
Nor can I smile on you alone,
AS through the world we go;
Some other method must be known
To those who love would show.
No. dear. I'll simply take your hand:
My life tune to your OWE;
AS on we go, Ger rocks, through sand
With ne'er sigh or moan.
Wen happy be when smiles the sun,
And laugh when falls the rain;
Making each day the only one,
Filled with It's JOY or pain.
No promises for future years,
No memories of past,
No shedding of regretful tears,
mo coming hopes forecast;
A present hope. present joy,
My love must be to you; .+
A hoop of gold without alloy,
=. That makes US strong and true.
A circle, where each life complete
Within its lines may dwell;
Invisible and yet SO sweet
Each knows and feels the spell.
More tangible this proof will be
Than word, or look, or deed;
A something that no man can see,
