The famous kits experiment Is de scribed by Franklin In a letter dated Oct. 19, 1752: "Make a small cross of light sticks of cedar, tbe arms so long as to reach to the four corners of a largo, thin silk handkerchief when ax tended. Tie the corners of the hand kerchief to the extremities of the cross, so you bare the body of a kite, which, being properly accommodated with a tall, loop and string, will rise lu the air like those made of paper, but be ing made of silk is better fitted to bear the wet and w ind of a thunder gust without tearing. To the top of the up right 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 band Is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk and twine Join a key may be fastened. This kite is to be raised when a thun der gust appears to be coming on, and the irsou who holds the string must stand within a door or window or un der some cover, so that tho silk ribbon may not be wet, and care must be tak en that the twine does not touch tbe frame of the door or window. As soon as tho thunderclouds come over the kite the pointed wire will draw tbe electric fire from them, and the kite, with all the twine, will be electrified and stand out every way and be at tracted by an approaching finger. And when the rain has wet the kite and twine you will find the electric fire stream out plentifully from the key on the approach of your knuckle." OLD TIME THEATERS. The Way House and 8tags Wsre Lighted In Garrlck's Time. It must haro often struck people when reading of the performances In tho eighteenth century bow It was that tho lightning was contrived. The po1 cr of oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters like Drury Lane and Coffsnt Garden were of enormous size. There were no footlights, at least until about the nrlduio of tho eighteenth century, and they were tho humble "floats," dim enough. Yet tbcro was ample light to observe expression and piny of fea tures, so necessary In Interpreting the fine old comedies ot character. Now adays the Btugo Is one blaze. It Is lit erally buthed and suffused In light. There are no shadows, and yot It might be said tho amount of uecesaary light U no mora than there used to be and Is not nearly as satisfactory. How was It thou? Iu tho theaters of Garrlck and earlier days the stage was really lit by four great chandeliers, which hung directly over the heads of tho actors from the arch of the proscenium and Just out side tho curtain. When the play was over, these wero lowered slowly, a sig nal for the nudlenco to depart. These chandeliers furnished a goodly amount of light on a circular zone Immediately below them. The actors faces and fig ures were lit In the natural way, as the sun would light them, but the rest of tho stago was comparatively dark or gloomy. Blackwood's. Taking (itiurul Views. K. A.
