Great Kites
Great kites are to be used by tn
Navy Department in series OF wire
less tests this summer, At was al
nounced to-day.
The kites, which will be about seN
en- feet in height, will be used to elt
vate the anennae of ship wireless xset'
BY this elevation 1t Is hoped that tn
range Of the naval wireless Will b
greatly increased.
The range of wireless stations Q
board warships Is limited by the Din
Guilty OF elevatlng the antennas, as
is impossible to erect wireless mast
of any considerable height. With tn
kites, the antenpae may be elevate
\ to a height Of 1000 feetor more. Tn
range of a wireless, provided the ele'
trical powr is increased, Is propo
tioanl to the height Of the wires.
The experiments with the, kites WI
