Draws Spares From Snow With Electric Kite Test
William A. Eddy of Dayenne conducted a dramatic electric kite experiment amid heavy gale and snowfall. A six foot single plane kite attached to a steel wire reached considerable height as the storm raged and spark discharge sounded when the circuit broke. Eddy avoided electric shocks by grounding the wire with a chain tether. In a separate Washington tableau a statesman quipped about imperial fate, the leader retorting he had no desire to be emperor of a nation of such good whots.
