The scene was the interior OF the finest es-

son to whom Mr.. Lehr was speaking was

Mrs. Harry Lehr. when she took off the

Mr.. Harry Lehr has been. for the past five

August. but It Is to be feared that this
branch Of the meteorological work being
subordinate to the main aims Of the expe-
dition will always be sacrificed to them. It
must be remembered that scientific kite
flying requires practical and skilfull oper-
ators. and without them much reserve ap-
paratus will yield mediocre results.
Handling kites on steamships presents
no serious difficulty. for power is available
at all times TO operate the kitewfnch. and
the wire from 1t may be led over a pulley
on a yard-arm capable OF being turned so
as to bring the kites clear OF the rigging.
The launching Of a kite from a ship Is
easier than by land owing to the great
steadiness of the wind at sea, and especial
ly of the artificial wind created by the
ships movement. Whenever the observa-
tons in the upper air may be made there Is
always the observing station on the ship
at sea level. and not far distant. horizontal
~, with which to compare them. Although
observations above all the oceans are VAL
liable the quatoriai region Is the most Inn
portant to be explored for. with the excep-
ton of a few observations in the Andes and
on the mountains of Central Africa, We
know nothing of the thermal conditions
prevailing a mile or two above the equator.

"HlI1EN FUR The SONDA1 hEFOBLlC-

scientist -ho has done much to advance
exploration of the air by means of kites.
Professor A. Lawrence Rotch. who has de-
voted his time and fortune to scientific re-
search established and maintains out of his
own funds the famous Blue Hill Observa-
tory near Boston on the highest land along
the Atlantic between Maine and Florida. He
originated a method of sending up kites
when no winds were blowing by using a
Steamboat or tugboat to Great a wind. and
his results have been the basis OF a num-
Der of reports TO societies Of research. From
Blue Hill Observatory he has successfully
carried on the work of exploring the air
by means Of several hundred kite flights
executed in varied weather conditions.
Wher. in 1898, the United States Weather
Bureau equipped seventeen stations with
kites in order to obtain daily obser vati III:
for the purpose Of forecasting the expert
ment was hindered by the light winds.
Professor Rotch studied different methods
and finally hit Upon the one which he now
uses frequently at sea- Years ago. on the
Island of Igloolik. In the Arctic Region. a
kite was once used to obtain the tempera-
ture of the upper air in Hudson'I strait,
but nc kites were used TO elevate instru-
ments from the deck of a moving vessel. In
Captain Parry's record Of his search for a
northwest passage in 1871 a registering
thermometer was raised by a paper kite to
a height of 400 feet above the ocean with
out showing any change in temperature.
Captain Back OF H. NJ. 5. Terror In 1888
reported tina while the ship was fast in
the ice he tried the plan of raising a SKIS
thermometer 100 feet perpendicularly by a
kite, and it was found that the tempera-
ture up high was s degrees lower than on
the ice.
The Rotch method obv . es the necessity
of having a suitable VIM to fly the kites
and renders it possible at all times to OBJ
tain accurate information about the air.

kites carry meteorographs on steamships,

quently and probably to better advantage
than on land" said Professor Rotch to a
reporter, ''since they can nearly
always be flown from either a stationary or
ship. For example, when the air
