The hexagonal or coffin-shaped kite is more reliable than the old

sort, and is quite as cheap and as easily made
The hexagonal or coffin-shaped kite is more reliable than the old
sort, and is quite as cheap and as easily made. Kites of both these
kinds have been used to get a line from a stranded vessel to the
shore, and engineers have used them. They did it when the first
suspension bridge was built at Niagara, to get a line across the
chasm, which gradually grew into the great suspending cables.

Of course, boys in the country have more opportunities to learn about

camping than boys living in the city
Of course, boys in the country have more opportunities to learn about
camping than boys living in the city. One thing is that they are more

In the Bay of Apia, in the Samoan Islands, I have seen native boys

In the Bay of Apia, in the Samoan Islands, I have seen native boys
diving from a canoe under the bottom of a great ocean steamer. On one
occasion a boy brought up from a depth of fifty feet a silver coin
that had been tossed overboard to test his skill.

I have known cases where a number of boys, living near the water,
bought a sail boat which they owned in common. Each had the right to
its use on a fixed day, though, as they were school fellows, it
happened that they usually went out together. The latter is the better
way, provided always that when the crew starts off for a cruise it is
distinctly understood that one of the number is to be the captain for
the time and is to be obeyed accordingly.

Children of the Mexican herders begin practicing with the lariat as
soon as they can coil a rope. I have seen them catching cats and
chickens with their little lariats, and their dexterity surprised me.

Small dog tents, such as our soldiers carried in the Civil War, are

cheap and very convenient
Small dog tents, such as our soldiers carried in the Civil War, are
cheap and very convenient. Each man carried a section, and two made a
tent, into which two men crawled when it rained, but in dry weather
they preferred to sleep in the open, even when it was freezing.

_Burying_ is when the taw, if in a good spot, is forced into the

ground with the heel of the shoe
_Burying_ is when the taw, if in a good spot, is forced into the
ground with the heel of the shoe. This is seldom allowed; ‘Fen
buryings’ being the accepted law of experts. _Laying_ means placing
the marbles in the ring.
