Easton, Pa, March 1.-THE Hood in

Council DOingS.

At the regular meeting of the town council last week several bills for cross walks, publishing ordinances, etc., were allowed.
 Arrangements were perfected for moving back the Wilson resi- dence on South Springfield street in order that the street may be widened. This is a proper move and one that adds value to every piece of property on that street.
 The council refused to pass an ordinance making it penalty to sweep papers or throw trash into the streets. The object of the ordinance was to prohibit busi- ness men of the town from sweep ing waste paper, or throwing paper boxes and other rubbish on to the streets.
 We think the council made a mistake in not passing it. Be- sides being unsightly, papers blowing around on the streets often scare horses and are fre- quently the cause of run- a. ways,

Old Uncle Tom Ellison is eighty two years old and makes the trip horseback from Jasper to Swain, a distances of twenty-one miles and back every day, making forty two miles per day.

less in the air, and. above all else, have
an enormous pulling power. Mr.. Car
roll believes that he has at last accom-
p!ished his object. or at least better
than it has been arrived at heretofore.
His kites are designed principally for
advertising purposes, with view also
to their application to aerial photogra-
ply.
It was his intention to construct a
kite with a remarkable pulling power.
This. of course. places very great strain
upon the kite line and permits of larger
designs for advertisements to be car
ried aloft, as well as enhancing their
ability to lift Photographic apparatus.
He has now built what he terms a
back" kite. which he claims has
very nearly double the lifting power of
any other kite of the same dimensions.
The largest of these ''in- backs" that he
has yet constructed was eight feet in
length by ten in width. This has a lift
ing capacity of sixty pounds, and an
average pulling capacity Of $50 pounds.
So far as can be learned this is the only
kite in existence that has a greater
width than length.
The kite is composed OF two diamond
shaped boxes, set in about the same rel
ative positions as the compartments CT
The Washington times., 1902-07-20

an ordinary box kite, such as are COM
monty flown by boys. Two huge tr.angu-
lar wings or fins extend out from the
kite, one on each side. These fins ex-
tend from the top of the lower box TO
the tip of the kite. On the top of the
whole, and fastened to the rod formirg g
the ridge of the kite, is the "fin- back
which gives the contrivance its name.
This fin acts as a rudder, and serves to
hold the kite steady, and almost rigid
in the air. 1t is largely this accomp-
llshment Of remaining stationary that
makes the thing so valuable as an ad-
vertising medium.
In writing to The Sunday Times re-
garding his kites, Mr.. Carroll said
Il built my kite on a new and sclen-
tlfic principle. as nearly after the idea
of bird as possible. The increased
pulling and lifting power was what 1
aimed at, and | have succeeded vcry
well in getting it. So great is the pull
ing power that caution and judgment
must be exercised in letting out and
pulling in the kite, to avoid being trip

purposes have also been fully recogniz-
ed and put into use.
The Blue Hill Observatory, at Blue
Hill, Mass, a short distance outside of
Boston, was established a few years ago
for the purpose of fostering experiments
with kites, perfecting their design, and
studying their usefulness. From this
place has radiated to very great extent
all the experiments in kite flying that
have been made in this country. While
kite experiments have been largely
made in all parts of the United States,
they have followed more or less upon
the line of the work already accom-
plished at the Blue Hill Observatory
But now comes word of new and more
practical tests of the usefulness of kites
from the West. While the scientific
phases of kite flying were being ex-
haustlvely perused In the East, men
were also at work upon the same subject
in the western section OF the country.
