A TAILLEss KITE.

The tailless kite shown In Fig. /
known as the Malay. Is one of the sim
plest forms to make, and It is such a
kites. Its advantages are many. 1t In
that 1t has become the most popular
type among boys who make their own
kites, It's advantages are many. It ia
a very steady nier, It will ny in light
breeze, It has good lifting qualities
for sending up hags and banners ON its
line, and with no tail to hamper It
there is little danger OF Il getting
caught In trees, on telegraph wires,
and on chimneys. It is safe to say
that fifty per cent. of kites with tails
are lost through the ENHANCEMENT Of
the tails.
Three feet is q good length for o
medium-sized kite. Spruce is the best
material for the sticks, but any soft
straight-grained wood will serve the
purpose. Cut the two sticks of equal
length, and make them thin and wide.
rather than narrow and thick. as
shown IN Fig. 6.
Fig. shows the bow stick with the
bow-string attached. Cut notch in
the stick near each end to hold the
ends Of the bow-strins, as shown in
Fig. 4. The proper bend for the bow
stick is 1-10 OF the length Of the stick,
plus " of that measurement. which
will be a trifie more than 1t Of the
length of the stick, as marked upon
Fig. 3.
The center of the length of the bow
stick must also be its center OF bal
ance. and this must be determined and
any necessary correction made before
fastening the bow stick to the vertical
stick. Test the bow stick by balanc.
ing 1t at its center upon the back OF
your knife blade.
Secure the bow stick to the vertical
stick with brads and thread at a dis
tance from the top Of the vertical
stick equal to lilo OF It's length. as
shown in Fig. s. The ends Of the
sticks may be notched to receive the
framing string, but you will get better

MANY VARIETIES OF SHELLS
There Are $4,000 of Them In the
SmlthsonIan InstItution
Collection.

Shell life is probably the oldest
form of animal life upon the globe.
It's study is an interesting one, and
even people who are not of scien-
tific turn of mind find pleasure in look
ing on the exquisite coloring and deli.
cate beauty of the many varieties OF
shells and ON their wonderful mechan.
ism.
There is nothing which more de-
lights children than to wander along
the seashore and gather the little
shells which have been washed on the
beach by the restless waves. And
then, too, when some large specimen
Is found, with what eagerness the find.
er, whether young or old, will apply It
TO his or her ear and hear from within
its murmurings, whereby. In the words
OF the poet, 1t expresses mysterious
union with its native sea-"
In the Smithsonian institution at
Washington there Is a collection OF
$4,000 shells, many Of them Of large
size, others strangely formed, and
some of the iridescent colors which
rival the hues OF sunset.
In examining these there come to
mind many fables and traditions
about shells. There Is the conch
shell, which was made into horn
and blown by old Triton and the at
.endants of Neptune. Then there is
the nautilus, of which Pope says:
Learn of the little nautilus TO sail.
Spread the thin oar and catch the driving
gale.
Many years ago Dutch natural
list went to the Indian seas to study
shells. When he came back he told
the story that the nautilus sailed In
troops over the sea. and were able
when they wished, to I'LL themselves
with water and sink to the bottom.
This, It has been found. is not true
The nautilus commonly inhabits the
bottom OF the sea, where 1t creepi
about by means of q large muscular
disk with which the head Is fur
nished, and It rarely rises to the sur
face or is seen floating there. The
interior of the shell Is divided into
chambers, connected by little tube
which affords air. The shell has mos
exquisite coloring. from peariy white
to varied motIey.-San Francisco Call

nor pearls to seek, but the cargoes OF
vessels which might be wrecked on
the dangerous bar of the estuary or
the sand-banks of the channel. In one
way or another, however, Ostia kept
lively trade. and a polyglot population
which bought and sold in the serried
shops lining it's paved streets. The
religious cults of the place are alone
enough to show how vRriegated the
crowd must have been. Vulcan, the
original god of the place, who had
presided over its metal-workers since
the days OF the early kings (as Romans
loved to believe), had had to accept
serious rival in Phrygian Cybele. and
other competitors In Syrian Mithras,
and Egyptian Iris and Seraphis. as
we'll as the Hebrew Yahweh, whose
worshipers dwelt thickly about the
new Claudian and Trajanlc basins.
Wealth and Temples.
And all this population had to have
Its places of amusement, as well as Its
temples, and there was wealth enough
to decorate these with statutary which
the Graeco-Roman artists of the me-
tropolis probably supplied. Among
the best examples that have survived
to be found In the recent excavations
are head OF Aphrodite, and full
length OF a priestess. complete except
for the right hand, and that nose-tip
which has been chipped of ninety In

exist. She makes gracious, ma

preserved than the shops and houses.
A big. upstanding building, it was
more obvious and profitable quarry
for medieval builders. Nor had 1t
been we'll treated In the imperial
times. A summary restoration in the
time of Honorius did much to obliter-
ate the more worthy work of the third
century emperors. The clearance of
the city is still going on, year by year,
at the expense of the Italian govern
ment, and the absent public is kept
informed of constant discoveries by
Signor Vaglieris reports in the Noti-
zie degli Scavi, the most systematic
and unfailing record which any coun-
| try issues concerning the recovery of
it's past. But no reading of many re-
ports is worth single visit to the
ruins themselves. and those visitors to
Rome who neglect to take the electric
line to Oetia and to spend at least an
afternoon in its Forum and streets
! will miss. one OF the most interesting
places in Italy.

conserved Food plaeaae.

DR.. Jacques Ltouiville. who was
part of the STAFF Of the antarctic ex-
pedition which recently returned to
the north, has given the name the
disease OF conserved food" to the mall
ady which is the cause of most OF the
illness encountered on these expedi-
tions. There is very decided alter
alton In the composition of the blood.
owing to lack In the food of the nec-
essary elements of health. The pa
tients suffered from oyerpowering
drowsiness, and shortness of breath,
which prevented them from taking
part in marches or similar severe
work. All these symptoms disappear
