KTEFLYING AS CONTRADICTORY TO AERIAL NAVIGATION

Ii was at Blue Hill for instance, that
telephonIng by means Of kite borne
wires was carried on; that elaborate
experiments in aerial photography and
such noteworthy meteorological inves-
LEGATIONS were made that the United
States weather bureau was induced four
years ago to establish on the system
followed at Blue hin a series of kite
flying stations along our coast and at
interior points. With a self registering
instrument called the meteorograph.
which Is barometer, thermometer and
hygrometer combined, recording its
readings" on a cylinder turned by
clockwork, valuable data have been OBJ
tanned as to the conditions prevailing in
the upper atmosphere Thus was in
vaded a domain Of nature which had
been until that time unknown to man.
Experimentation of late years has
been conducted with a view to develop
ing the latent possibilities OF the kite
as an adjunct TO the dirigible airship as
well as an Independent factor for the
solution Of the aerial navigation prob.
lem.
a great advance was made in 1892
when Lawrence Hargrave of Australia
invented his box or cellular kite. since
greatly improved, notably by G. II.
Lawson Of Portland. Me-, who as kite
designer is said to be unequaled. Law
son has constructed kite OF the Har-
grave type having 900 square feet OF
surface exposed to the wind. II lifted
a dummy man Weighing 100 pounds sew
eral hundred feet into the air. This
cellular kite was a favorite aud came
the nearest 20 perfection In the recent
kite congress at Paris. where every ac-
cessory to aerial navigation was tested
with the object OF rendering the navi.
gable balloon or modern alrship safer
and more manageable. This type doubt.

until some better shall have been
evolved. and eXperimentation will be
conducted along lines already laid
down. Those Who have seen the Law.

ETC., IN wartime, aud for several years
experiments have been carried along
the lines necessary for the development
Of that idea The Spaniards IN Cuba
We're somewhat astonished at the sight
OF a string OF tandem kites above the
island Of Cuba while our signal corps
was making It's observations near SAN
tiago. AT first they did not realize the
full import Of the proceeding and look
ed upon the spectacle as one got up
especially for their benefit. After they
found out that the kites were being
flown for a purpose unknown TO them,
but having something TO do with the
reconnaissance OF their position, they
tried to put stop to the experiment by
shooting at the kites with their Mau-
sers; but as the Spaniards never could
hit a barn door, either sitting or fly
ing they did no damage to Uncle Sans
aerial'machines,
That the kite could be employed TO
great advantage in actual warfare was
conclusiyely proved particularly by the
