The chief defect of the box kite, Of
which DR.. Langley's aerodrome is an
elaboration, is that the weight increases
with the cube as rapidly the lifting
power does with the square, so that the
larger the kite the less it will lift in pro-
portion. Professor Graham Bells kites
are equal-sided triangles, SO that they need
no bracing, and it is found that the lift
ing power increased at a greater rate than
the increase in weight. A flock of these
kites recently lifted 200-pound weight.

BEATING THE TRUST.
How One Small Dealer Got the Big
End of a Bargain.

When the cigar store combination
first began to open stores in New
York, says Leslic's Monthly, a dealer
in one of the downtown cross streets
was approached and asked to set a
figure on his business. He did so and
at twice the actual value of his estab-
lishment The prospective purchaser
set one of his other agents to watch
the daily receipts of the mans store
for a week. The dealer had prepared
for this. Very quietly he had gone
around among his friends and ar
ranged with them to buy boxes Of ci-
CARS and jars of tobacco, by the dozen
or case, purchases to be returned at
the end Of the week, and a bonus Civ
en- to the purchaser for his trouble.
Naturally, the representative of the
United Cigar Stores company was
much impressed by the stream of
purchasers who left the avenue 10
buy of their favorite dealer, and the
sale was effected at the end oftheweek
al the dealers own figure. Fora time
The new owners could not understand
why business fell off so astonisningIv
after they had taken possession, but
when a couple of months went by
with no improvement, the true situ-
alton dawned upon them. and they
closed up the shop.
