UNIVERSITY, Va, February S.
Virginia's chance to win the South
Atlantic title in basket ball for 1924
hangs upon the result of games here
today and tomorrow. Maryland comes
to oppose Virginia tonight and the
strong North Carolina five will play
here tomorrow.
In the seven contests played SO tar
Virginia has won from Randolph Ma

University, Roanoke College. Virginia
Military Institute. Virginia Polytech-

Though Maryland has a first-rate
team, 1t is the Carolinians who are
expected to bring trouble to the Cava-
liers. Two years ago Virginia took
the contest in an extra period and
last winter the game was won by the
Tarheels.
Virginia's, work in the seven games
played shows that the defensive play
has been above the average, but that
the passing and goal shooting has
been below par.

F RANKLIN s LETTER
Is CITED To PROVE
HIS STORY Of KITE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-To
dispel the assertions of DR.. Alex
ander McAdie, of Boston, that Ben
iamin Franklin did not discover cleo
tricity by the aid of his famous kite,
the Franklin institute today made
public a letter written by Franklin
to Peter Collinson. London, in l1oZ
on his experiments and observations
with electricity.
The letter follows:
"As frequent mention is made in
public papers from Europe of the
success of the Philadelphia expert
ment for drawing the electric fire
from the clouds by ms OF point
ed rods of iron erected on high build
ings. etc, it may be agreeable to
the curious to be informed that the
same experiment has succeeded in
Philadelphia, though made in diff
terent and more easy manner, which
is as follows:
Make a small cross of two light
strips of cedar, the arms so long as
to reach to the four corners of a
large thin silk handkerchief when
extended: tie the corners of the
handkerchief to the eXtremities OF
the cross, so you have the body OF
a kite; which being properly accom-
modated with a tail, loop, and string,
, will rise in the air, like those made
of paper; but this being of silk is
filter to bear the wet and wind OF
thunder gust without tearing. TO
the top of the upright stick of the
cross is to be fixed a very sharp
pointed wire, rising a foot or more
above the wood. TO the end Of the
tWine. next the hand, is to be tieC
a silk ribbon. and where the sill;
and Irvine join, a key may be fas
tened. This kite is to be raised
when a thunder gust appears to he
coming on, and the person who
holds the string must stand within
a door or window. or under some
cover, so that the silk ribbon may
not be wet and care must he taken
that the tWine does not touch the
frame of the door or window. AS
soon as any Of the thunder clouds
come over the kite, the pointed wire
will draw the electric fire from
them, and the kite with all the
Irvine, will be electrified, and the
loose filaments of the Irvine viii
stand out eVerYWay, and be attract
ed by an approaching finger. And
when the rain has wet the kite and
Irvine, so that it can conduct the
electric fire freely, you will find il
stream out plentifully from the key
on the approaching of your knuckle
At this key the phial may be
charged, and from electric fire thus
| obtained, spirits may be kindled
and all the other electric experiments
be performed, which are usually
done by the help of a rubbed glass
globe or tube and thereby the same
ness of the electric matter with that
of lightning completely demon.
