A kite catches the wind. Tugging at the string, it pulls upward, dip- ping and swaying. The string unwinds. The kite climbs higher and
higher into the blue. Its colorful shape looks beautiful against the sky.
Flying the kite is a fun day to spend a spring day.
People around the world have been flying kites for centuries. In fact,
kites were invented over two thousand years ago.
Kites have always been used in modern warfare. Before airplanes were
invented, cameras were tied to kites. They were sent high in the air to take
pictures. This was a way of gathering information about enemy forces.
Kites have always been used to carry radio equipment up into the air.
This made the signals easier to send and receive. In World War Il, kites
were used as targets for shooting practice. Kites were also included as part
of the emergency kit in lifeboats. People stranded in the lifeboats could fly
the kites. Searchers would see the kites and come to their rescue.
Kites have been used in many other ways. People have used kites
to carry instruments high into the clouds. There the instruments mea-
sured temperature and wind speed. Sometimes the kites could not fly
high enough. When this happened, they were sometimes tied together in
trains. First one kite was sent sailing on a long string. This string was tied
to a second kite. This kite helped to lift the first kite even higher. A third
and even a fourth kite might be added to the train.
One famous event involving a kite was Benjamin Franklin's experi-
ment. Franklin wanted to show that lighting was a form of electricity. He
thought that if he sent a kite up into the clouds he could find out for
sure. Franklin made his kite carefully. He used two lightweight sticks.
He covered the sticks with a square of silk fabric. He attached an iron wire
to the frame of the kite. Then he attached a long string. Near the end of
this string, Franklin tied a brass key. Then Franklin tied a piece of silk
ribbon to the end of the string. He would use this ribbon to hold onto
the kite. He knew that silk would not conduct electricity very well. He
hoped it would keep him safe. On a stormy afternoon Franklin set out to try his kite. A brisk breeze
was blowing. Franklin's kite rose quickly into the dark clouds. Raindrops
were pelting down. As a safety measure, Franklin stood in the doorway
of a barn. Water is a good conductor of electricity. He knew he needed
to keep the silk ribbon dry. Franklin reached out and tapped the key with
his finger. Sparks flew! It was electricity!
Franklin was happy with the success of his experiment. He was also
very lucky. He could have been badly injured or even killed. It is very
important to remember that you should never fly a kite on a stormy day.
Metal should never be used in the making of a kite. Also, kites should
never be flown around power lines.
