'Til the present world-wide In-
MHff terest In aviation baa come a
rUnBI fl a ' orresponding stimulus of in-
wHl tereat In kite flying—not the
i jB ordinary sort of kite flying that
K 9W ¥ wo all Indulged In when we
* were boys, although that has
many devotees—but scientific
kite flying. Both In England and
America daring experimenters
have accomplished wonders
with man lifting kites, which
when sent up tandem have dem-
onstrated their ability to Uft hu-
man beings to the clouds quite as neatly as do
inotor-driven airships. Then, too, Alexander Gra-
ham Bell, the Inventor of the telephone, has these
past few years performed some wonderful experi-
ments with a new type of kite made up of trlagu-
lar cells and hopes yet to solve the problem of
tterlal navigation with a sky craft developed along
this line.
While the man-lifting kites have thus been de-
veloping to the point of undreamed-of possibilities
another branch of scientific kite flying has been
making like progress. This embrances the use
■of kites for studying the conditions of tbe upper
air and obtaining data to be used in forecasting
the weather. Various institutions all over the
world have been using kites in this way, but the
lead lias been taken by the United States gov-
ernment, thanks to the facilities which It enjoys
at its unique new weather observatory In north-
ern Virginia, not far from the West Virginia line.
The Mount Weather observatory, as this new kite
station is officially designated, Is designed espe-
cially for the exploration of the upper air by

bound across the bed and land on my
ahouldera, handle my ears gently, won-

thrusting In hla long tongue to flnd

That was beyond human endurance,
and 1 would roll the little fellow Into
a ball, wind his long, fully tall about

would be unwound In a moment, and
would skip away to explore some

His bind legs being longer than his

down; but when In a hurry he would
stand up and bound along like a kan-

fingers spread, looking like nothing

top of a peak nearly 2,000 feet high in an isolated
part of the Blue Ridge mountains—that which no
better location could be Imagined for this class
of work.
There are not many buildings at this kite-fly-
Ing outpost, but a substantial stone structure has
been provided for use as a kite house. This is
the headquarters for a corps of five men who
devote all their time to this branch of aerial
work. More than two dozen kites are constantly
kept on hand and In readiness for use and In-
cluded In this equipment are samples of all the
different kinds ofakites which have been used by
any of the foreign governments that have en-
gaged In scientific kite flying. However, Uncle
Sam's experts have developed some designs of
kites that are superior to anything known abroad,
and particularly have they evolved a wonderful
new type of kite that can be sent aloft In the
fierce gales that sweep over the Virginia moun-
tains. The ordinary kite will fly In any wind
with a velocity of ten miles per hour or more,
but is not adapted to use when the wind exceeds
25 miles per hour. However, this new style kite,
which weighs but eight pounds and has a lifting
surface of 58 feet, has made successful flights
more than a mile In height when the wind was
blowing a gale of 46 miles an hour.
The government experts have sent up kites at
Mount Weather as high as 23,000 feet, which
mentis, of course, several miles. Of course no
rope or string can be used for such kite flying,
but wire must be employed. The wire Is wound
upon an Immense reel of forged steel and the kite
flying Is In reality done by machinery, this reel
being operated by a three-horsepower electric mo-
tor When it Is desired to haul down or draw in
a klto this reel Is set in motion at any speed de-
sired The steel drum has capacity for carrying
RO.OOtt feet of piano wire, which Is much more
than would be required for any kite flight that
will ever be attempted. The object of Uncle
{jam's kite flying Is of coarse to explore the upper
air and to that end automatically operated record

is the greatest wonder of the century. • Yet the
airman is Impatient and his cry now is for great-
er speed. In speed he sees the solution of his
greatest problems. Gradually It has dawned upon
blm that the air Is the ideal element for high-
speed traffic—that through the air, before very
long, speeds will be attained which are pos-
sible with vehicles on land or ships on the sea.
To the makers of engines the airman says, "Give
me more power, which spells speed." To the build-
ers of aeroplanes he cries, "Construct me planes
capable of the maximum of speed."
And the speed of aeroplanes has been creeping
up. At first it was 35 miles an hour. Then came
40. Soon this was left behind. Round prepared
aerodromes a pace of 45 and 50 miles an hour was
attained. Nor did the seeking of speed end here.
With racing monoplanes a rate of 55 and CO miles
an hour was possible. Not satisfied with this,
pilots have added mile by mile, until the latest
record Is 66 miles an hour.
In response to an inquiry along this line an ex-
pert recently said: "Personally I believe that this
Is only the beginning of the speeds that aero-
planes will be able to attain. Some one was dis-
cussing this vitally Interesting aspect of airman-
ship with me only the other day. He asked the
question, 'At what rate will aeroplanes be flying
through the air in a comparatively short space of
time?' My answer was, In six months I fully ex-
pect that a monoplane will be registering speeds
of 100 miles an hour.' Friends of mine who are
experts upon the scientific aspects of airmanship
predict that eventually speeds of 200 and even 300
miles an hour will be possible. At this one's Imag-
ination Is apt to reel. But this much Is certain:
If the flying machine Is to become of real impor-
tance and not remain a sporting toy It will need
to be speedier than any method of transit on
land."
"The aeroplane engine is the crux of the situa-
tion Upon its development—rapid or slow—de-
l-ends also the development of airmanship. Fortu-
nately for tbe new science in which we are all so In-
terested, the flying n-achlne motor is already mak-
ing q'dte extraordinary strides. As a well known
maker remarked to me the other day. 'Each motor
which we turn oat nowadays marks a step up a
ladder of progress.' And the engines for aircraft
are not onlv being made more reliable, bat they
