If the st. Stephens crowd has some
thing on all of them, but this dope
cannot be relied upon. The two teams
which Manager Noone has to fear are
the Corcoren Cadets and the Naval
Medicos. These two aggregations are
playing great ball, and It seems as If
they are the only ones which have a
chance to trim the leaders.
Fridays contest between the Medicos
and st. Stephens is looked forward to
with interest by the followers OF the
Marquette circuit. and a hard-fought
game will result. as Manager Golfers s
boys are anxious to defeat their op-
ponents and move up to first place.

much care has been taken IN selecting
the material as Edison takes in the
making of a new filament for an cleo

brides is manufactured especially for
the weather bureau and IL consists Of
thin strips Of rubber about quarter
of an inch thick tightly bound in a
cloth cover so that it forms a small
rope five-eighths Of an inch in diam

tecrs the kite from sudden gusts Of
wind by allowing il to take a smaller
angle and thus diminishing the pull.
The kite cloth is often waterproof,
consisting Of a mercerized silk which
sheds the water better than the cam

days.

How the Kites Are Made.
During my stay here I have eX-
amined two dozen or these weather
bureau kites. They are not like the
great paper shields with floating tails
which I flew in my bOyhOOd. They are
different from the dragon kites Of
China or the great aerial fishes of the
Japanese In fact they have no tails
at all, and they are mighty boxes,
which soar and shoot through the air.
They are of different sizes and kinds.
There is the high-Wind kite, the mod
erate-Wind kite and the Hght-wind
kite The larger ones are about seven
feet in height. over six feet wide and
from two to three feet thick 7 took
