HOW BELL WOULDFLY
Inventor Explains Theory of His
Wonderful Kite.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 80. -
Prof Alexander Graham Bell today
gave at Columbia Station, a Virginia
suburb or Washington, an exhibition of
the tetrahedral kite, which he believes
to be the secret of aerial navigation.
The demonstration was made to the
members of the National Geographical
society, of which Prof Bell was for
merly the president. The wind was
light and therefore the trial was not as
successful as some have been, in pri-
vate, but concerning which much has
been written by the inventor and other
scientists. Three sixteen-cell kites,
each said to have sustaining power Of
seventy-five pounds, were sent to
heights varying from 400 to LOO feet
but the wind was SO uncertain that
the tests were not regarded as salts
factory.
Preceding the exhibition of kite fly
ing, Prof. Bell explained what he is
doing at Cape Breton, where he has
his laboratory. He said that the ex-
per1ments there were on a much larger
scale, but that the idea would be ap-
parent from an examination of the te-
trahedral kites used in the local dem
onstrations. The manner of construc-
ton Of the kites from the first light
sticks or aluminium tubes to the fin
ished kite was shown by Prof. Bell.
The aluminium tubes or sticks are
eight inches long. Three are first used
to form triangle and three more are
jointed to the ends of the first triangle
and formed together at a common
apex, making a figure bounded by four
triangles. Other cells of the same size
and weight then are taken until six
teen form the tetrahedral kite the same
size as the first cell.
Weight is saved in putting the cells
together by using one stick only where
two cells are fitted together, SO that
while one triangle requires three rods,
two triangles can be made from five
rods. When covered with silk, as the
kites are, the two triangles have twice
the resistance power of one, but one
sixth less weight than two ordinary
triangles. The same principle of saw
ing weight is continued further in
forming the tetrahedral, the idea being
that by making the kites large enough
and continuing to save weight sus-
tanning power wiz be obtained suffi-
cient to carry motor and man. 1t has
been asserted this has been proved at
the Cape Breton laboratory, and trials
here have given to the public the first
general understanding Of how it Is
done. Prof. Bell said the motor would
eventually take the place of the kite
string and that when this had been ac-
complished aerial navigation is estab-
liShed.

A Great Dishrau Farm.

"A novel enterprise, that Of raising
dishrags, is being exploited by num-
ber of southern California horticultur-
lists, who received the inspiration for
the scheme from Charles Richardson,
whose gardens in Pasadena are be-
coming famous for their remarkable
productions. Mr.. Richardson has sue
cessfully raised many growths new to
American soil, and this year is ex-
ceeding all his previous triumphs by
raising thousands of dishrags. Last
year Mr.. Richardson's string beans,
which measures forty-three inches in
length, created a stir, but dishrag
vines, which, with their pendant dish
rags, twine about orange trees, palms,
evergreens and peach trees, and peek
in at the second-story windows, bid
fair to win the championship from
the beans. These dishrags, or vege-
table sponges, as they are sometimes
called, are indigenous to Africa; but
now that it has been demonstrated
that they will thrive in this country
they are bound to become a popular
production. The seeds look like a
cucumber, but when ripe the shell is
broken and a sponge disclosed.-New

INTEREST OF FARMERS.
Secretary Hitchcock Approves a Home
stead Opening.

Washington, Sept. 29.-In the inter-
est of fairness to prospective home
steaders throughout the United States
Secretary Hitchcock approved an opin
ion by the assistant attorney general
for the interior department sustaining
the contention of the commissioner of
the general land Office that ninety
days notice shall be given before
lands which have been temporarily
withdrawn from settlement and later
restored to the public domain can
be filed upon for settlement. The de-
cision establishes a settled policy up
on the part of the general land office
of whether or not such notice should
be given having been vexed one for
a considerable time. The new pol
icy, it is said. will give an equal
chance to location upon them and pre-
vent any undue advantage being CIV
en- to persons living in proximity to
them and having knowledge that they
would be restored to public domain.

The Etheling took his hand of his
weapon with twinge of shame; but
lie was not without misgivings as he
strobe along at Rothgar's heels.
Unless the youngling had made a
decided change for the worse, what
satisfaction could the Jotun expect to
get from witnessing their meeting?
Before his mind, there rose again the
tear-stained boyish face which had
hidden him farewell that night at the
postern, and his pulses throbbed with
fierce pity.
"He took himself from the one per
son who was dear to him, poor little
cub" he murmured. "If they have
MANNED him, swear l will tuck him
under my arm and cut my way out
though there be a wall Of the brutes
around him."
His musings came to an end, as the
man preceding him stopped suddenly
where one of the milky panes broken
from the cloister window gave a view
of the cloister garden. With the cold
November sunshine hum Of voices
was coming in, now frightened by
peals of laughter, again blurred by the
thud of falling quoits. Over the Jo
tun's shoulder, he caught glimpse
of gorgeous mobiles and fair-haired
women scattered in graceful groups
about sunny old garden, green in
the very face of winter, thanks to the
protecting shelter of the gray walls.
In moment, they stood just out OF
reach of the square of light which
fell through the open doorway.
Framed in carved stone, the quaint old
garden with its graveled paths, its
weedless turfs and its background of
ivy-hung walls, lay before them like
picture.

Sebert smiled his satisfaction as
the sandals pattered away. He had
foreseen this interval of waiting-in-
deed, he had timed his arrival to gain
it-and 1t was his design to put 1t to
good use. While he swallowed what
he wanted of the waters and wine
which were brought to him, he TOOK

the result that. as he set down the
goblet, he ventured question.
From the numbers and heaps of at

There Is no question in the minds
Of the authorities of the Importance
Of Mukden to Japanese as winter
base. 1t is believed that the Japanese
will exert every effort to push out

lous struggle for the possession OF
the town is still some days distant.
The Japanese will probably have to
reckon first with a stubborn defense
Of the Fushun mines, where the next
important fight is expected to take
place.
Judging by present developments,
Marquis Oyama is giving up the idea
Of cutting General Kuropatllin's COM

contenting himself with advancing
upon the Russian front and flank in
such fashion as to force the evac-
uation of the two and compel the Rus

Contenting himself with an indig-

place at the head of the dozen armed
servants who formed the Etheling's
safeguard, and the young lord galloped
on between the bare fields, humming
absently under his breath.

of the square, followed by the clank
OF spurred feet coming heavily toward
him. AS they drew nearer, the rattle
of sword also became audible. Lift
ing his eyebrows obviously, the Ethel
ing grasped his own weapon beneath
his cloak.
When the feet had brought their
owner around the corner into sight, he
did not feel that this motion had been
a mistaken one, for the man who was
advancing was Rothgar Lodbroksson.
Sebert stared in amazement when the
Dane, instead of flashing out his blade,
stopped short with a burst of jeering
laughter.

cried in his thunderous voice. Has
it happened that am to be the bower

Sebert's grasp tightened around his
hilt. Apparently the son of Lod-

with what haughtiness he could mus

"The one who sent you the sum-

though he were using the words to

enough to reach below the knee. He
