Kite-FIVino.

Dear Uncle Jed: I thought I would write to you and tell you what fun I had in March flying kite with my brother.
 One day when the wind blew a gale we took the kite and went over into a big lot so to fly it. The rope broke and the kite flew way down the road about three or four blocks. After get ting it back we were so tired from go ing after it and coming back against the wind, that we put it away.
 I hope the wind will blow hard again this year so we can have more fun. Do you think it will?

Why Ships Are sheatted.

Dear Uncle Jed; I am going to tell the Wide-Awakes how and why they sheath a ship.
 Sheathing a ship is covering the bot tom with a sheath Of copper. In all seas. but mostly in the seas of the tropics, hulls of ships are liable to be attacked by certain worms. The dam age to the hull by these worms is known to render the ship worthles Copper sheathing protects the ships against these worms and decay. It is especially valuable in case of iron ships because metal rapidly oxidfzes and be comes brittle when exposed to the ac- tion of the sea water.
