THE TETRAHEDRAL Dr. Bsll’s Attempted Solution of tho Problem of Man'* Plying. It Ih a queer thought that grave and famous scleutisis sometimes betake themselves in dead earnest to the childhood sport of blowing bubbles— not for sport, but to study some very dlflicult and hard to understand prob lems that trouble their learned minds Perhaps It is even queerer to see a man whose name is known the world over for his learning, his Inventions, his wonderful mind and his earnest ness In the pursuit of knowledge ehnsing after u queer looking kite and noting ils behavior, and doing this, too, in the most serious manner. For it is a serious matter, this sci entific kite flying, and the work us it is done by Dr, Alexander Graham Bell, the famous Inventor of the Bell telephone and dozens of other useful things. Is a task which he hopes will some day result In a practical solution of that most batlling of riddles, how is man to learn to fly? That a plane surface of not too great weight properly held at an angle with moving air will rise Ju the air and stay up is n fact known to every boj who ever begged rags from mother for the tail of his kite. The problem of “flying” is to get n kite big enough to hold a man or men, strong enough to stand the strain, steady enough to fly without danger and stable enough to fly without a eord and to alight with out destroying IIself. It would seem that If a kite of, say. ten square feet surface would lift ten pounds in a certain wind a kite of twenty square feet would lift twenty pounds and thirty square feet thirty pounds, and so on. But, unfortunately for this easy solution of the prnbh i when tv, or mole kites are added e;u-'i to each they l.iek strength, and to • > the strength n.t re weight must lx- i In' • the fram ; nd In crossbars . braces, so that when the kite gi very large-indeed, large enough to lift a great weight- it weighs as mm i :s it will lilt!
