Probably the most extraordinary and fan
tastic Of all the kites is the one representing the
flying dragon. which plays such an important
part in Chinese mythology. This is the record
breaking kite of the world both in regard to
length and its peculiar construction. When in
flight il measures nearly forty feet. The front
is composed Of a ferocious head having a wide
mouth and protruding horns The large eyes
are formed Of curved pieces Of board, and are
made TO revolve, producing a loud humming
sound in fight. Below the dragon head is a
series Of pasteboard disks, attached by a cord
20 bamboo sticks yard in length, running
crosswise. The disks are about foot in diam
eter. and are painted in black, red, yellow and
white. The extreme tail portion is composed Of
siIken strips or streamers. This remarkable
aerial device is manipulated by q cord from the
rear while some distance below the kite three
additional lines run to equal distant points TO
afford better control of the kite when in ac-
rion. Seen in the air, with its pair Of glazing
and revolving eyes and serpentne motion II
produces a highly realistic picture OF the
mighty flying dragon Of the upper world
Another favorite shape for their kites is the
large dragon fly. This is due to the deep rooted
Buddhist belief Of the return Of the souls Of the
departed in various animal forms. Both IN
China and Japan dragon flies are thought TO De
used as winged steeds Of the dead. selected TO
carry them ana the SllI4NS Va N44C4A eA--O~7N-0
when they revisit their homes again During
the Festival Of the Bon which is composed OF
bonfres kindled in front Of the houses to well
come the return Of ghosts, the children are not
allowed TO modest or kill any dragon fies' par
t!cularIy those who get into the family house
The warrior kites are made TO attack and nght
one another in the air by skilful manipulation
Of their strings, and money is freely staked on
the result Of these combats.

Of Arts and Sciences, and recently curator OF

nized authorities on Oriental games and sports
saws thac China is the original home OF the
kite and states that a Chinese general. the
founder Of the Han Dynasty, invented the first
kite about lg5 3. G, and sent it up to measure
the distance Of the palace he intended to be-
siege and enter by digging tunnel to terminate
about the centre Of the structure.

be said, is considerably more than a son of his
father, being himself a man of rare literary at
tainments, as well as wise and able public
administrator. He does not bear his fathers
Christian name. and only the family name of
his fathers friend. Arthur HalIam, and an an
ecdote goes with this which shows that the
elder Tennyson in the role Of a fond father

asked at the christening: Why not give the

SAN ANTONIO CHARTER
SENATOR HICKS HAS PREPARED a
DRAFT AND GIVEN 1T TO ONION.
Mayor Is Given Power to Remove from
Office Any of His Appointees, Which
Is Regarded as Important

san Antonio, Texas. February l5.-Seu-
ator Marshall Hicks has prepared draft
for a new charter for the city and has
turned it over TO Representative onion, who
is now studying its features before it Is
introduced
senator Hicks stated that the charter MS
rewritten carries with II every power now
contained in the old charter. hut he i'm
strument Is written In logical form and
The duties Of officers are grouped i'm such
a way as 10 he easily found in the instru-
mont and readily understood
There are some new features, such MS
provision authorizing the city council 10
designate repositories for public money, and
requiring interest to be collected upon bal
ancoS in banks.
Another radical change in the charter is
the provision which authorizes the mayor
Ia remove with or without cause any officer
Mhom he may appoint TO office. senator
Hicks believes that this Is a most impor-
tant power, stating that from his eNpe-
rience as mayor Of San Antonio he has
felt the necessity for such n provision.
Senator Hicks believes that since the
mayor is the responsible head If the city
and If an officer appointed by him is not
doing his duty, the mayor Is the one who
Is responsible and he should have the
right 10 remove man II his services are
not satisfactory To him,
There are no changes In the salaries as
provided in the present charter except that
500 is taken off the salary Of the city col
l'Vlpr VINO now receives S1IO1 per year,
and added to the salary Of the auditor
who now receives only $500 per year
4 provision has been inserted requiring
ten days Of any defect in a street. side
walk or bridge before the city shall be
liable for damages TO any person injured
by reason Of such defect This provision
was taken from the charter Of the city Of
Houston and has been held good by the
courts. 1t is believed that this is very
necessary in city with large area such
for city officials to keep up with Inc con
ditions Of the streets, sidewalks and bridges
In the outlying portions Of the city, and It
Is considered reasonable that the city
should have actual notice Of these detccts
before any liability should arise hy reason
OF damage to a person injured thereby.
