The most prominent fact about a
bird is a faculty in which il differs
from every other creature except the.
bat and insects-,its power OF flying.
For this purpose, the birds arm ends
In only one long slender finger, In
stead OF full hand. To this are at
tached the quilts and small feathers
(coverts) on the upper side. which
make up the wing. Observe how
light all this is: in the first place, the
bones are hollow, then the. shafts Of
the feathers are hollow, and, finally,
the feathers themselves are mede OF
the most delicate filaments, inter-
locking and clinging to one another
with little grasping hooks OF micro
scopic fineness. Well. how does .
bird fiy2 1t seems simple enough
to describe, and yet IL is a problem
that the wisest in such matters have
not yet worked out to everybodys
satisfaction. This explanation by the
Duke of Argyle, appears to me to be
the best: An open wing forms a
hollow on its under side like an in
verted saucer; when the wing is
forced down, the upward pressure Of
the air caught under this conclavity
fits the bird up. much as yoa hoist
yourself up between the parallel bars
in a gymnasium. But he could never
in this way get ahead, and the hard
est question is still to be answered.
Now. the front edge OF the wing,
formed OF the bones and muscles OF
the forearm. is rigid and unyielding.
while the hinder margin is merely the
soft flexible ends of the feathers; so
when the wing Is forced down, the
air under it, finding this margin
yielding the easier would rush out
here. and. in so doing. woulS bend up
the ends OF the quilts, pushing them
forward out OF the way, which, OF
course, would tend to shove the bird
ahead. This process, quickly repeat
ed, results in the phe nomenon OF

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press gives
the following interesting notes in re-
lation to Dalrymple's great wheat
farm at Casselton: kfr.r nssF.a.
The amount OF ground sowni TO
wheat this spring was 1900 acres.
Harvesting was commenced on Mon
day, with nine Woods Self Binders.
The machines are run fifteen hours
without rest, except the ordinary
stops for oiIing, lunch, and dinner.
and the result per day is 1s0 acres.
One man is employed to each team, .
and twelve men follow the machines,
shocking the wheat as fast as it is
cut. The entire 1900 acres were to i.
be cut and shocked during the week; z
stacking and threshing ~fil Of course
foHow.sMr Dalrympie stated that
the cost Of wire for binding would
not exceed 80 cents per acre The :
cost OF nine three-horse teams, and
of the twenty one men required TO
manage the teams and shock the :,
grain, can be readily. estimated Il !
will be seen that Mr.. Dalrymple isdi
harvesting his crop for aboat oneas
fifth OF the cost required under the
system in vogue ten years ago. At
the time harvesting commenced It
was estimated the yield per acre fromH
the entire tract would not be less d
than 20 bushels to the acre. Grass :

which would otherwise have been I
realized in the shape OF clear profit.
As it is, the profit on the Dalrymple
operations this year win be simply
immense. The entire cost Of break
ing, sowing, reaping. threshing, and
marketing will not exceed ss per !
acre. Estimating the value OF
wheat at 80 cents per bushel, and the
yield at seventeen bushels per acre.
we have a clear profit OF $3.50 for
this years operations. But this is
but the beginning. The farm on
which this crop was grown consists

Drop loosely through the dampened air.
When all our good seems bound in sheaves
And we stand reaped and bare.

Without our will they come and 60;

Ere sunset all Is snow.
But each day brings less summer cheer.
Crimps more our Intellectual spring:
And something earlier every year

One must see both to do Mr..
Bristow justice. The face belongs
to type Of high liyers, seen only
in representative from outside Of
Washington. Nowhere else is
there such Development Of fat to
the absorption OF muscle and ex-
preston. How can you tell what
man thinks, when every line Of
Thought is obliterated? and there
Is very little chance to probe his
feeling, when the delicate tissue Of
nerves is deeply buried under lay
ers Of flesh. The question is, il
the fatty deposits do not press up
on the brain and impair the vital
energies. with Mr. Bristow,
large show OF flesh is given hy the
style in which he wears his hair.
IL is not thick, at best, and it is
shaved away from his temples and
neck at barbarous rate. He does
not wear q beard, and the cut Of
his collar IS low, so with an uncom-
monlv big head, we can imagine
the broad eXpanse Of forehead,
neck and jaw, He wears an i'm
meuse hat. A larger man put it
ON by mistake, the other day, and
was swallowed up in it, head and
ears. l do not know whore there
is such n shaped head as Mr.. Bris-
tow's. 1t is a composite head in
the way OF resemblance. The
lower part is not unlike that OF
Judge Davis, Of Illinois, and the
forehead is similar to that Of the
famous journalist, Mr.. AlcCuilagh,
There is more vcneration, owing,
perhaps, to different pursuits in
life, but the intellectual organs are
equally marked. There are indi-
cations also, Of heneyoIenco and

twinkle of fun about the eye. The
eyes arc study. With them, |
may observe, the impression Of too

They are the strangest color in the
world. Turned from the light,
they seemed a deep gray, border

day the color faded to an amber
hue, with a dust of azure in it.
The expression likewise varied
from cold and penetrating, to
CLEAN OF translucent depth, such
as Rignold assumes when he waves

now ARKANSAS WAS CARRIED
IN 1874.

WASHINGTON, Feb. q. - The
Committee on the expenditures OF
the Department of Justice today
obtained copy of a letter written
in October, 1872, by W. H. Britton,
then United States Marshal for
the Western Arkansas district, in
which ne says he can carry that
State FOR Grant, providing the At
torney General will intimate to
Judge Story not to question his
(Britton s) proceedings IN empan-
cling iuries. lie also suggests that
Attorney General Williams should
also intimate to Judge Story that
prominent Republicans in that dis
tlict had made complaint to the
Attorney General that justice re-
anlred him not to interfere with
the iuries; in q word, the marshal
asked Williams to lie for Grant
sake. and Williams answered by
sending $4,000 for court and elec
! iion purposes
