KI1E FLYING AT SEA.
An Effective hj- tf rnmpnrlnn lllmh
Level Tetniiernturca In Dif
ferent rineea.
Kites carrying self-registering thr-r-motnptors
nnd other Instruments have
been Bent up to various heights over
land by moans of balloons and kites,
and a pood deal has thus been learned
about thi condition of the atmosphere
over continental areas. It Is possible
that the. rate of cooling with asrent
may not be the same over the orean.
Perhaps (-tiler differences may be dis
covered, too, when Investigation has
gone far enough. At any rate, for a
year or two past this sort of experi
ment has been contemplated eagerly
by a few enthusiasts, and a little has
actually been accomplished.
In one rrspert there Is a notable dif
ference between the two classes of
work. On land the observer and his
wlndlnss arc stationary, and the kite
runs out as far as it can. At sea tho
kite, or string of kites, Is hauled by a
moving tug or steamship.
W. H. Dines, In Nature, tells of some
work done last summer off the west
coast of Scotland, under the auspices
SCIENTIFIC KITE FLYING.
of th Royal Meteorological society.
The style of kite employed resembled
the Hargrave pattern of box 'kite In
general design. It was four-sldtd. and
.orupojod of two cells, one ahead of
the other. The opening in front,
though, instead of having square cor
ners, was diamond shaped. Mr. Dines
calls it a "rhombus kite." The two
diameters of the diamond were six feet
ind three feet by six inches, while the
length of the kite was seven feet six
inches. Steel wire was used for a kite
string. Operations were conducted
from the stern of a small tug,' 55 feet
long and 14 Va feet wide.
She was stationed near Crlnan, and,
except on Sundays, ascents were made
rom her deck every day, no matter
what the weather, from July 8 to Au
rtist 26. The vessel could not steam
more than seven knots, and the wind
eloclty necessary to raise a kite la
rom nine to 12 knots, so that on oc
:asions when it was a dead calm no
Lite could be started. It happened,
aowever, that no day was calm
hroughout, so that some time during
.he hours of daylight the opportunity
)f reaching at least 1,600 feot elevation
--as afforded. Mr. Dines adds, how
iver: "Had the tug been capable of
en Instead of seven knots, I have lit
le doubt that a height of 6,000 feet
night have been attained every day."
Ordinarily, the strain on the wire
vas not allowed to exceed 40 or 50
ounds, although the wire had been
.ested up to 300. If more than one
:lte was sent up on the same lino the
strain for each branch was kept with
n the limits specified. This would be
ontrolled by altering the speed and
ilrcctlon of the boat to suit the wind.
)ne of the fruits of last year's work is
embodied in the following paragraph:
"A further result of the observations
ihow3 that the temperature of Ben
Vevls (the highest mountain in Great
Jritaln, its elevation being 4,40fi feet)
.vas in every instance below that of
he free afr at the same level some 60
niles to tho southwest, often from five
0 eight . degrees Fahrenheit below.
That the two air temperatures should
lave agreed was hardly expected, but
he difference was very marked, and It
1 desirable that the experiments
hould be repeated in the same locality
o confirm the result. Tho fact, how
ever, that the summit of the nioun
aln is go ofren wrapped in clouds,
vhen the sky is clear elsewhere, tends
o show that the summit must be un
'uly cold, and It seems likely that the
ffect is produced by the cooling of the
lr as it is forced up the mountain
lope. In fact, the cloud level on all
ao mountains and hills in the neighb
orhood was always much below the
olnt at which the kites entered the
!ouds. It is also known from the inf
erences In the barometer on I3en Nevis
nd the values computed from read
ngs at iho base that the temperature
f tho Intermediate layers of air Is not
ruly represented by the mean derived
rom the summit and sea levc' temper

Out of Doors,
It Is truly an ca?y and enjoyable way
of getting well for any erne who Is a lover
of nature, for, as has boon stated, tho
malu principle carried out Ir to get In
touch with that which Is out of doors to
bo amid the trees, continually breathing
the air purified by natural processes, to
exercise and eat and skip, If possible,
wilh the sky for a canopy. The medical
man of the olden time would Indeed bo
shocked If he could visit one of these
places, to see so-called Invalids hard ot
work In the forests making their camps,
lolling about In hammocks In summer
with heads uncovered, and lying muffled
in blankets and furs In the sunlight In
tho dead of winter, with no shelter but
the blue sky above them. 15ut these are
only some of the ways In which health
Is sought. rat tents who are able to
stand the exercise amuse themselves by
clearing away the snow from the. veran
das In the winter even the women
handling the broom and shovel and en
Joying It. Coasting on the hlllslu'8 Is
another stranee recreation for these
whom we call consumptives encouraged
at the Massachusetts Institutions. Phys
ical culture Is one of the requisites for
those who ere able to attempt It, and
daily a dozen or a score of patients are
put through the simple movements, un
der tho guidance of perhaps one of their
number or a member of the medical
staff. The tent life Is a part of the rou
tine of the women In summer as well as
of the men, and It Is an actual fact that
in Massachusetts gome of the women
have erected their own camps for win
ter, decorating the walls with posters
and photographs, and converting them
Into miniature club houses, where they
occupy themselves In conversation, read
ing, sewing and various games.
These camps are unique in many re
spects. The buildings are compng"d of
but three sides, that facing the south
being left open. They are simply sheds,
having a floor to prevent the dampness
from the ground affecting the inmates.
Some forest trees are used for posts, and
the walls made of planks or boughs fas
tened to them. If the temperature Is
too low for comfort, it Is moderated by
tha nee of a small stove, sometimes an
open fire. Draught Is furnished by dig
ging a tunnel through the earth beneath
the shed, terminating In a length of clay
pipe. When a Are Is started the air Is
sucked through this condnlt. and that

METALS AND MINERALS.
Here la an Klerlrlcal Appnrntna
Wlilt'h Make Easy the IJUcov
ery of Hidden Wealth.
When Benjamin Franklin made the
experiments which put us in touch with
electricity he could hardly have had an.
idea of the many uses to which the won
derful current would be applied by the
inventors. Probably the transmission
of power over long distances through a
strand of copper wire and the sending of
messages under the ocean without any
wire at all never entered his mind, but
we who have all this arc still not satis
fled, and the search for new applications
of the electric current is yet going on.
MINERAL LOCATOR.
Now it is to be utilized to discover what
the earth has hidden in Its depths in the
way of mineral wealth, enabling the
prospector to locate a bed of mineral
without the necessity of uncovering it
with his pick and shovel. The outfit con
elstu of a nest of dry batteries, two me
tallic poets, an instrument for measur
ing the resistance of the current and a
coll of wire. To examine any piece of
ground for mineral deposit the stake
which supports the batteries and meas
uring Instrument Is fixed in the earth,
the second stake is connected to the ap
paratus by the wire and driven In the
ground at. some distance from the first.
When the circuit is closed the current
passes over the wire and returns through
the ground, necessarily traversing any
body of metal or mineral which may be
located In the interval. The prospector
can determine by his measures of re
sistance of the earth to the current
whether or notthere Is any such deposit.

frinan from Knob country. "Ell's
Bam got his weddln' boots; but If they
don't give him corns, then Cyrus Is the
forgiviu'est feller-citizen that ever tils-
app'inted his ownself to 'commodate a
nelchbor,
"Now, I like to fish, myself, and I'd
go tishin' now aud then if 1 dldn t know
tn manv feller-cltlzens. most of 'etu
keeuln' two or three yaller dogs, at that
who spend seven days in the week seltlu'
on a stump vexln' the water In the
stream with a worm on a hook, while
their wives Is to home vexln' the water
in the washtub so as to keep the house
a-goln'. That sort o' spiles ilshiu' for
me.
"But this hero caso o" Cyrus' was dif
ferent, and Ell's Sam ought to be
ashamed o' his lnconslderateness and
selfishness in settiu' that day for his
weddin' when that was tho day that
Cyrus had laid out to go to the pond for
two or three days' flshin', and comln' to
Cyrus the day before and sayin' that
them boots o' his'n that Cyrus had had
on tho last for a couple o weeks back
was to be his wlddin' boots, and that
he must have 'em next day.
"Eli's Sam was so one-sided and un
neighborly that he wouldn't oblige Cyrus
nnd put the weddin' off till he got back
from fishln', and so Cyrus couldn't see
no way out of it but to finish the boots,
though he was outrageous put out and
dlsapp'lnted
"1 hem boots o' Ell's Sam was all done
but soleln', but Cyrus had to foot it in
to the tannery to get the sole leather for
flnlshln' of 'em. He took his fishpole
along, thlnkln' that he mowt leastways
ketch a mess o' trout for supper, and on
bis walk back, when he come to the deep
hole in the creek, Jest bolow the alders,
be stopped and put in his hook, baited
with a live mlnny.
"His bait run along till It got down
to the lower end o' the hole, and Cyrus
was glttln' ready to give the trout that
was on the p'lnt of bitln' it a chance to
try whether he was the best feller or
whether Cyrus was, when Cyrus heerd
a splash in the water up the creek. With
out lookln' round, Cyrus says to hlsself
" 'Now who can the unmannerly feller.
clti-.en be as'll jump in the water to rile
it up on me, when I'm fishia', and spile
my glttln" a bite?'
"With that he turned and looked round
to see who the unmannerly neighbor
could be, and he seen that It was a great
big don t-glve-a-contlnental bear!
"Now, Cyrus Is a law-abiding citizen
but when he see that unmannerly bear
standin' there and rilyln' up the water on
him nnd sp'illn' his glttln' that bite, he
pulled his pistol and p'lnted it straight
at the bear and fired. The bear kind o'
give a hump as If he felt somethln' eat
In" him worse than a woodtlck; and ho
squealed a little, and snorted. He seemed
s'prlsed, but he give a few more kicks
in the water, rllyin' It up more than ever,
and didn't move a step.
"'See here!' said Cyrus. 'This pistol
la a six-shooter!' he says, 'and I want tc
ketch some trout! You better move on!
lie says.
"But that bear never moved a step.
He Jest stamped and stamped his feet in
the water and kept rllyin' of It up. Then
Cyrus pulled up and give him anothei
shot.
"The bear humped hlsself ag'ln and
squealed and snorted, but didn't move on.
Then Cyrus did get mad! And he plunked
Into him every one o' them shots he
had left. j.
"The boar headed for him them and
Boomed as if he was goin' to show Cyrus
that he didn't approve o" beln' peppered
In the way that Cyrus had been pepprrln'
of him. Then Cyrus was moved to say,
eort o' positive-like:
"If Providence or somethln' don't take
short, clum the bank, and trotted away
into the woods.
"While Cyrus stood t taring ufler him
the water the benr had made rlly cleared
up and Cyrus got bis bit. He didn't only
get his bite. He ketched the trout that
done it, and a slammer it was. Three
pounds, Cyrus says they told him after
ward that it weighed.
"But he couldn't get over being mudt
bo mad so mad, and unlawful like.
" That bear,' says Cyrus, 'dona some-
I
thin' that mowt a-sp'llcd by gettln'
that bite,' he says. And inebbe he mowt
do It again. That boar must be settled.'
he says, and over ho goes to Joe s lum
ber camp, borrles Joe's rlllo, and comes
back to the creek.
'It was his belief cot knowin' much
about bear, that this aggravatin old fel
ler had headed for the swamp up the
creek a tulle or so, and so Cyrus took a
short cut through tho down timber for
the swamp. When begot there he didn't
soo no sign 'o boar, but pretty soon ho
heerd a snort and a grunt, and looklu
toward where they cau.o from, he see
a bear's head sllckln' up out of a muck
hole at the edge of an old log road..
"When the bear see that Cyrus see him
too he stuck his head a little further out
of the hole, and buoi ted a louder snort.
" 'Kily up the creek on me when I'm
flshin' will you?' sajs Cyrus, 'n ho
whanged away.
"The bear sunk back in the muck hole,
and Cyrus had a sweat In" time glttln'
htm out on hard ground. Ho was loo
ln' the dead bear over when ho heerd a
noise la tho bushes ou t'other side 'o the
road.
"Cyrus looked that way, and If Eli's
Sam could a-sco liltn then he'd a-been
sorry, I bet you, that ho hadn't put his
weddln' off till Cyrus got back from the
pond a-fishin", for Cyrus's eyes was bulg
in' at the great big head of another bear
that was stlckln' out o' the bushes with
a look on lis face that said as plain as
could be that It was lookln' for somethln'
to clutch and claw, and didn't calc'late to
look no further than Cyrus. lint there
was another load in Joe's rifle, and bav
in' gone as fur as lie bad In burnln' pow
der aud scatterln' lend, Cyrus throw ed
conscience to the winds and banged
away. T'other bear come tumplin'
down, and Cyrus says:
" 'I'm sorry for you,' he say, 'but you're
jest as dead as tho unmannerly bear
yender that made the creek rily on me,'
he says.
"But the bear wasn't. Not Jest then
It rlz on its hind feet and started fer
Cyrus and Cyrus didn't have no more
load to scatter.
" 'Providence,' says he, 'It looks to me
now that If you don't take enro o' them
boots of Eli's Sam he'll have to go bare
foot to his weddin'!' he says.
"Hut Cyrus was wrong. The bear only
come a few steps. Then he fell over back
ward nnd was deader than a June shad
" 'Two bears,' says Cyrus, "and I only
started out to git sole leather to finish
them weddin' boots, and mebbe some
trout for supper,' he Bays.
"And then what fo you think? Cyrus
discovered that the first bear he killed
and the one that ought to had six pistol
bullets in it for rilylng' up tho creek
didn't have nothln' but a rifle bullet
right betwixt the eyes, and the bear that
stuck his head out o' the bushes, and that
Cyrus wasn't expeetln, had six pistol
bullets right scattered around In him,
besides a rifle bullet betwixt the eyes!
" 'Ding it.' says Cyrus, lookln' at the
first bear. 'I didn't have nothln' ag'ln
you! What did you go and raise your
conk up out o' that muckhole for, and
snort?'
"But it was too late then. And. Provi
dence or not, Ell's Sam got his weddin'
boots; but If they don't give him corns
then Cyrus Is the ferglvln'est feller-clt-Izen

HARD TIMES IN HONDURAS.

la Bnllt.
British Honduras is sometimes called
the Ireland of America. Blessed with a
soil of unsurpassed fertility, a mild and
equable climate and a variety of natural
productions but rarely found within so
restricted an area, the colony is yet af
flicted with hard tlms. Although one
of the most thinly populated of the hab
itable regjons of the globe, the number
of Its Inhabitants is constantly decreas
ing; the labor market is overstocked
agricultural industries are declining,
trade and commerce languish and the
pinch of depression Is felt by all classes,
according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The reason for this state of affairs is
not hard tp discover. It Is the same
curse that has crushed Ireland ab-
sentoe landlordism In a little different
but not less fatal form. The area of the
colony Is only 7.2CC square miles. Of
this 2,500 square miles, or one-third, Is
owned by one London land company,
In all more than four-fifths of the col
ouy Is the property or a handful of
English proprietors who will not sell
nor lease nor permit settlement nor cul
tivation. They derive a sure, steady
and perpetual income by working the
mahogany, rosewood, cedar, logwood
and other natural products of the for
ests, and for this reason desire to keep
their domains forever a wilderness.
An effort has been made to compel
these absentee landlords to sell their
holdings at an appraised valuation
However, so overshadowing Is their In
fluence that tho laws passed for thl
purpose have proved inoperative. It
therefore seems probable that the coun
try will long continue to be held In pawn
by a few English proprietors who have
never even visited its shores and that
its wealth will be sent abroad to enrich
the coffers of the strangers Instead of
remaining to stimulate trade and In
dustry at homo.

New Theory of Evolution by Professor
Moore, of Columbia, Mo.
Dr. W. T. Moore, dean emeritus ol
the Missouri Bible College at Colum
bus, Mo., recently completed the
manuscript of a book which will cause
a sensation among theologians and
scientists, says the St. Louis Republic.
Dr. Moore is a theistic evolution
ist, though his new definition of evolu
tion will be quite satisfactory even to
conservatives. He traces man in his
origin, history and destiny, and in the
concluding chapter of the book, enti
tled Death and the Other Side, he at
tempts to show the meaning of the
numerous worlds which now roll in
space without inhabitants.
Dr. Moore's theory, in brief, is that
man- will go on progressing through
the cycles of eternity and that when
he assumes his spiritual body at the
resurrection he then will be prepared
to inhabit some of the p'anets or stars
which are now uninhabited.
He concludes that the infinitude o
wor'.Js become intelligible from his
point of view. He believes that the
spiritual man will be the inhabitant of
all these worlds and that, as emigra
tion from this earth is the future
evolutionary process by which those
worlds are to be inhabited, the in
habitants of the whole universe will
be of the same family and constitute
a great spiritual brtoherhood for a"
the ages of the future.
Dr. Moore thinks that the numer
ous worlds now uninhabited are in a
state of preparation for glorified mar,
as the present earth was a long time
in prepaiation fur original man. Dr.
Moore is a theologian and journalist
of reputation both in America and
Europe. He was for many years a
resident of London, and is still editor
of a leading religious magazine pub
lished there. His wife is president of
the Christian Female College of
Columbia. .
