The History of the Kite
The Invention of the kite is usually
attributed to tbn Chinees. The first
man on actual record a* having used
tbs site is Archytes (about 400 B. O.)
For what purpose h* employed it I
have beau nnable to ascertain, but It
Is not probable that he accomplished
anything of scientific importance; and
it was not until 1749, when Dr. Alex
ander Wilton and Mr. Thomas Metvlll*.
in Scotland, used it for taking tbs tem
perature of the upper air, that the kite
showed possibilities oJ becoming a use
ful and scientific apparatus. Frank”
tin's well-known experiment of ob
taining atmospheric electricity by
means of a kite again drew attention
to it. It is, however, within the last
decade that the kit* has gained nearly
all of its importance and this is dne to*
its development .by men who have
studied It and the forces acting upon It,
in a scientific way. Among others
may be named Marvin. Langley, Har
grave and Eddy; by their labor** hith
erto useless toy has become an impor
tant scientific apparatus.
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va.. and
one of the roost widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism af
ter thres years of suffering. He says:
* 1 have not sufficient command often -
guags to convey any idea of what I
suffered, my physicians told m# that
nothing could be done for me and my
friends were telly convinced that froth
ing hut death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894. Mr. Evans,
then salesman for tbs Wheeling Drug
Co.,recommanded Chamberlain's Fain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swooleu to more than double
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg wou.d burst, but soon after I
b»gan unug the Pain Balm the swell
ing began to decrease, the pain to
leave, and now I consider that 1 am
entirely cured. For sale by J. P. Brog

The most significant development in
wtather forecasting for year* ha* been
attuned by the weather haresu as the
result of experimeuti with kites down
at distances of one to two miles above
the surface of the earth. The ex per l
mtute were conducted in this city, and
the tact has been established that
shifting of the wind occurs at a mile
level above the earth's surface from
twelve to sixteen hours before the same
change of direction occurs on the tor
foe*. This will enable the weethsr
bureau to moke more accurate forecast*.
The roropian* investigation*, as an

where it can be stated that wlthlu six
