The human kite has all the possibilities of caricature in it, and there are some very funny attempts. “Just Boy,” Fig. 55, is a good one, and “Foxy Grandpa” is popular. Fig. 56 is the “Squared Chinaman”. The “Clown and Donkey,” Fig. 57, is rather easy, being a combination of three tailless kites. The “Dutch Girl” makes a good kite, also “Me Happy,” Fig. 58. In these as in the previous sub-group, much of the effect is dependent on skilful handling of brush, after the kite has been constructed. The flying depends much on the attachment of bridle and balancers. CHAPTER V. BOX-KITES. =Box-kites= were a new invention a very few years ago. People said, “No use trying to put a drygoods box up in the air,” and yet something very similar in shape has been successfully used for a number of practical purposes. The box-kites usually require more breeze than the plain surface kites, but are stronger pullers, which means also heavier lifters than their lighter breeze cousins. Before entering the discussion of box-kites, it will be well to understand some terms that are used quite generally by all kite enthusiasts. Fig. 59 is a plain two-celled box-kite; _a_, is the length of the kite. The framework consists of four sticks, one at each corner, and four braces, two near each end of the kite, placed diagonally across the inside of the kite from one corner stick to the other. The covering consists of two bands passing on the outside of the four corner sticks, one band at each end. [Illustration: FIG. 59. FIGS. 60, 61. FIGS. 62, 63.]
