army and navy aviators during

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.

A prospector's curlota'sense of hn.

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

region was full of drab rocks that re

SWileffelin's friends frequently rallied

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.

May 12. 1W)7. According to his wishes,
liis body was taken back to his "tomb

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.
