DIAGRAM OF KITE.

notches at the ends of the sticks, and
put string around the whole frame,
making it taut and tying it so that
| it will not slip.
Now cut out piece of very thin
manila paper-tissue paper would do
but thin manila is more serviceable--
one inch larger all around than the
frame, and paste the edge over the
string. Make small hole in the end
of the sticks at A, r, C, D, T. and F
and put In string loosely from A to
Ut, from B to e and from G to d.
Make string loop from II to f, to
which the tail of the kite is to be at
@tached The strings must come
through to the paper side of the kite,
not the stick side.
The cord by which you are to fly
the kite should be attached where the
strings cross each other; do this with
a loose knot inclosing all the strings.
For the tail, use strip of muslin
Aabout one inch in width and fifteen
feet in length and attach ten bobs
made of paper rolled up. If the kite
should dive, add more tail until it
sails steadily.
81 Use fine. but strong. cord for the
#fying, and don't attempt it in high
wind. Kites always fly better in a
moderate wind.

A Canoe EuIoay.

There is a superstition that canoes
are Enthusiastically. But superstition
is merely the distortion of faith by *
norance. The canoe is only the most
girlishly feminine of all ships that
float on the waters. She demands the
constant assurance of understanding
Humor her preference in the little
matters and you may depend upon
her in all things of import Step ex-
actly over the keel. not an inch to right
or left: distribute the weight cannily,
SO that she may neither bury her bows
nor stand upon her stern; forbear to
bump her too brutally upon rocks or
to scrape her over gravel, and you yill
find her as steady as a barge, as sea-
worthy as dory, fit to carry through
choppy swells or down riotous rapids
q weight that would make the clunsier
rowboat wallow like tub. She will
float yOu sensitlvely down the moon
tremulous cleaning of some still wood
river. turning at a touch under the Sc
clusion of oyerhanging leaves, losing
her way alphabetically along hushed
and sedgy inlets where the black wa
ter laps and listens and the breath
and sense Of summer thrill all the
youth of you wide awake. Travel

FLY ON THE CEILING.
Explanation Of This Insects Ability to
Walk Upside Down.

Walk Upside Down.
The ability of the fly to walk along
the ceiling or up and down pane of
glass is matter that is constantly
puzzling boys and girls, and older
people. too, and a simple explanation
OF it here might be of interest.
AS insignificant a creature as the
fly is, this power has made it the SUBJ
ject of scientific study for years. The
scientists at first thought its feet were
furnished with suction pumps, so to
speak, little valves that chung TO the
ceiling on the same principle as that
of the wet leather disk that boys lift
bricks with. When they found that
this was an error they thought that
the fy's feet We're supplied with a
kind of sticky oil that enabled 1t to
hold on.
But careful eyperlmenter discover
ed that while the feet exude fluid 1t
Is not sticky, and so that theory had
to be given up. Finally this same ex-
perimenter hit on the truth. He found
that the feet of the fly are covered
with minute hairs-each fly has about
1000 of them-and that the fluid that
comes from them enables the fly to
walk, head down, on even the smooth
est surface, by capillary attraction
that is to say, the fluid on the fiy's feet
forms a sort Of connection between the
feet and the surface the fly walks on,
and the attraction thereby established
Is strong enough to sustain several
times the weight of the fly
1t Is impossible for the fly to get
along well unless its feet are perfectly
clean. and when you see it apparently
making its toilet by rubbing its feet
together and all over it's wings and
back it is simply putting it's feet in
order

Seven Moons In One Niaht.

1t is said that at Sonoma, Cal, the
full moon rises and sets seven times in
one night. The Indians call the place
Sonoma valley, which means the wal
ley of many MOONS" The explanation
is that there is certain peak east of
the town toward which you have to
look to see the queer phenomenon, the
mountain being so formed there that
the moon rises into sight and sinks
out Of it seven times in succession.
