Thiskite will knock down flat by removingthe bowstring and bow. This kite, asdescribed above has about 2,2 ft. of sail. The Tetrahedral Cell This kite is the invention of ProfessorAlexander Graham Bell, and is a scien-tific wonder. To begin with, a tetra-hedron is a solid geometrical figuremade by four surfaces, each of whichis an equilateral triangle, all of thesetriangles being of equal size. A tetra-hedral cell kite cuts out tvvo of thesetriangles. The remaining triangles arethe flying planes. In its simplest form. eaTAKt M*mfUO M lorttf Fopul^r Science Monthly H9 cmctr: *%>CArg t»*c>oe-*. »Mn
