The weather bureau of the I'nlle.l States department of ag riculture gsthcred a great deal of valuable Information tor army and navy aviators during the war and tor mall service afatlon since that time by means of a kite to which was at tached a self-recording Instru ment, the meteorograph. Some 'of the difficulties experienced are shown by "an Incident that occurred March 18 at I.eesburg, Ca. In - order to attain the height desired, a number of kites had been sent up tandem. They consisted of strong wooden frames about T by 7 by S feet. Kuch kite was covered with about 13 yards of fine cambric and was attached to fine piano wire. They were let out and hauled In by a reel operated by electric motor. Due to a defect ive pllt e, four of the kites with about 8 miles of wire broke awny and flew about 18 miles before the wire became .en tangled In a tree. ' A farmer telephoned the news to the sero logical station, but before Ihe party sent out lo recover the" kites could roach tliera some! negroes had wrecked Ihe first one and stolen the cloth, which was later fuuud In nine pieces In nrions cabins. The other three kites, when the first one was separated from them, es caped and flew about three miles farther. During the flight, how ever, the wire became entangled with a boy and a mule plowing In a field. - The boy grasped the wire and cut and burned his hands. The nmls became so entangled In the wire that the help of three men was required to releose him. The three kites were' Anally caught. In another tree which was cut down by another party of negroes, and, In falling, wrecked the second kite, which was dlsinautled by the negroes. The two remaining kites again escaped, flew about 3 miles farther ataj landed Id one of the tallest pine trees In the region. The third kite had a meteorograph attached which was recovered undamaged. A heavy rain came on, however, and the two remaining kites were broken ap and finally aban--djmed. ' ' ' LOOKED . LIKE CEMETERY How the Town ot Tombstone, Arizona, ' Acquired IU Somewhat Qrsw .some Cognomen, , A prospector's curlota'sense of hn. mor was responsible for the naming of Tombs' onevArlt. According to James F. Duncan, who went there In 1870 tho tnAfn was founded In that year by lvd Sii!effelln,' a tnlnlng" prospector, Schlfffi-Mn culled his' mine near the site of the present courthouse "Tomb stone mine." Duncan said, because the region was full of drab rocks that re semblcd-tonibslonel ': . trudUion has- it, however, " thai SWileffelin's friends frequently rallied hint for his faith In the locality, and lold hltn that he would find his tomb stone here. After the prospector had made his fortune here, In good-natured irony lie Is snld Ho have named the town afler the fate that had been pre dicted for hl:n. . Sctilerrelin was found dead In a log culiin in the state of Washington May 12. 1W)7. According to his wishes, liis body was taken back to his "tomb stone" and burled near there. Ills tiickax and other tools were hurled with hltu. Above the grave his friends erected a simple monument, fushloned after the rude manner of a prospec tor's claim stake merely a pile of un- evenly-shapeil rocks. Hew Batteries Are Tested. If you are away from home and hnve have to deal with a storage but. tery of which the polarity markings ftre obliterated, here Is a simple test that will Instantly reveal to you which is the positive and which the negative pole. It Is given by Windsor Crowell in the Popular Science Monthly. Get a fresh potato; cut a slice off one side, and stick the terminal wires :nto the cut section, about an Inch apart. The potato In contact with one wire begins to turn green. This Is the positive pole, therefore the other Is the negative. Suppose you have no potato handy to make the test, proceed as follows: Pour a little' of the electrolytic solu tion from the battery Into a glass, place both wires In It, well apart, and watch the bubbles rise from them, Many more will rise from the negative side than from the positive. Why Workers Demand Muslo. It Is fairly well-known that In cer tain parts of the world natives refuse to work at roadbulldlng and kindred pursuits unless they have the accom paniment of music. The part played by music, In sailors' tasks Is common knowledge. Less known by far Is the role of music In cnrpet-weavlng, and Its delicate adjustment to the various colors Involved. In British India the carpets are woven to a particular tune. The custom harks back to time Immemorial. The lender of the group chants the song In a - mo notonous, quasl-llturglcal style, and the song varies according to the color of 'he carpet, being repeated by all the weavers In a chorus. If the gen eral color of the carpet Is pale, the chant Is monotonous; If It Is a bright hue, the chorus becomes animated. rft..u) :ti l'j We are pleased to announce to;our, Monmouth friends that they may have the opportunity of viewing the season's latsst offerings In ladies', ready-to-wear without the necessity of leaving our home town.
