Kites
have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown

as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite
festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites
have been used for scientific purposes in the Western world. In 1752, Benjamin
Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning
was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented box kites
to test ideas about flight. From 1898 to 1933, the United States Weather
