Many years ago | witnessed on a west
trn prairie the initial movements of mi
grafton made by sand-hill or w~hooping
cranes with the idle curiosity of a boy.
T ese birds slowly flap their wings until
Z considerable height is reached, when
hey suddenly cease such movements, and
o~ntinue in great spirals upward for two
f1es or more, and at length float off at
. tangent to the south. Their pinion
Leemed m~otionless after being stopped in
ihe upward swing, and the question is
naturally suggested: Whence m the
force to antagonize gravity and air re-
sistanceg This question became more
emphatic as time passed, and eliminated
in the devotion of five years to observa-
ton and experiment IN the gulf coast
Of Florida, the home of many species OF
soaring birds,
After varied and long-continued OBJ
servations under the most favorable cir
cumstances, it was clearly established
that many varieties of birds live in the
air the greater part of the time without
employing any muscular exertion what
ever 10 sustain themselves. That the
heavier the bird the easier it can resist
inequalities in the air current. That a
hungry vulture car by no lean float so
speedily as a gorged one. That n dead
calm is the best condition OF air to sus-
tain motionless wing flight, and that the
direction of motion, up or down, with or
against the wind, or at any obliquity to
it, is Indifferent to the bird. That the
only necessity is that the air and bird
shall meet with more or less velocity.
1t is clear that shape, position, and
weight are the factors concerned in fixed
wing flight, and that muscular force is
in no way concerned with it.-Practical
Progress.

A traveller in New Mexico gives a
glowing description of the country
through which a new road passes, and
tells of the Seven Cities of the Chico val
ley that almost reads like the romantic
explorations Of the members of the
Smithsonian institute. He says that
there are to-day in that valley ruins of
large buildings five stories high, and
some of them in such an excellent
state of preservation that the ma.
sonry and plastering are looking
as new and fresh as though done but
a few years instead of centuries ~
These buildings are popularity supposed
TO be OF Aztec origin, but, strange to say
there is at present no historical account
Of them or their MISUNDERSTANDING.

How the human system ever rccovers
from the bad effects Of the nauseous med
icines often literally poured into it for the
suppositve relief of dyspepsia, liver com
plant, constipation, rheumatism and
other ailments, is mystery. The mis-
chief done by bad medicines is scarcely
less than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, bilious. dyspeptlc, constipa-
ted or rheumatic, would oftener be guided
by the experience of invalids who have
thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach
Bitten, they would in every instance OBJ
tain the speedicst aid deniyable from
from rational medication. This medicine
is a searching and at the same time n
thoroughly safe remedy, derived from
vegetable sources, and possessing in CON
sequence Of its basis of pure spirits, prop
critics az a medicinal stimulant not to be
found in the fiery local bitters and stimu.
lants often resorted TO by the debilitated,
dyspcptic and languid.

A New York philanthropist proposes
to organize a land company which shall
furnish homes to deserving young men
in small cottages costing 90, 500 apiece.
BY a novel plan, in case the tenant dies
after the close of a year, the property
will be decided TO his wife as a home.
The company will not lose, because its
plan is the insuring of the young mans
life for the mount of the mortgage on
the property, and if he dies his wife takes
the property and the company the in
