Prof. X. H. ThurstOn in the January Foruns
The vulture is said to- fly, at times,
at the rate of about 100 miles an hour;
the wild goose and the swallow, in
their migrations, make 50 miles an
hour, and the carrier pigeon has GER
tainly flown long distances at rates of
speed ranging from so up to so miles
an hour, and for many hours together.
The common crow ordinarily lounges
across country at the rate of Is miles
an hour, the speed of railway train.
Prof. Langley finds that the power
exerted by the eagle in full flight is
but a fraction of one horsepower.
Mr.. Chanute computes the power ex-
erted by pigeon flying 1900 feet per
minute, 25 miles per hour nearly, at
1000 of a horsepower per pound,
or 91-2 horse power for a
flying machine of equally good
form, weighing one ton, at % miles
an hour, or about so horsepower per
ton weight at 80 miles. Mr.. Wen
ham, a member of the British Aero
nautical society, finds in the pelican
an expenditure of LII horsepower
by q pounds of bird, and this is one
horsepower to 23l pounds, or about
a horsepower for the weight Of a
man, allowing ample margin for sur
plus power. The birds are found to
have surplus lifting power of about
one-half. Prof. Langley has pur-
chased recently for the Smithsonian
institution the prize steam engine of
the Aeronautical society of 1868,
which, with car and screws, weighs
only Is pounds, and but Is without
these essentials. To the engineer

Madison Letter.

MADISON. Wis. May -Goyernor
BOARD believes that the sentiment Of the
state is fast crystalizing On the ailirna-
tive side Of the Bennett law question and
the flight Of time has apparently
wrought no changing faith on his own
part. just now there is an obvious
subsistence in the agitation Of the mat
ter, but revival Of unusual vigor is
generally anticipated Immediately fol-
lowing the Lutheran convention TO be
held in Milwaukee. June 4. The AFRO
gance of the religio-politico demonstra-
ton will have a strong tendency 10
arouse all the spirit ana belligerency in
the American character and there can
BE- scarcely a doubt but that the
controversy waged thereafter will rival
in bitterness all that mas gone before
The aggressiYness manifested by the
Lutherans has already made some nota-
bic converts in favor OF the law, among
whom may be mentioned ex-senator n.
w. James, of Richland Center, who
has been brought around from a posi-
ton Of indifference even if not OF pro-
nounced unfriendliness toward the law
to one Of avowed advocacy Of it. His
case is only one Of many.
1t is universally conceded that the
Lutherans who believe they have abso-
lutte command over the situation, will de-
mand nothing less than the complete
of the law, and be satisfied
with nothing else. In the face OF this
fact it is difficult to conceive how the
can do else, and retain their
self-respeet, than make the issue straight
on the law and stand or fall with it.
The best minded men in the republican
party feel that way; as a prominent
official in the capitol said to your cor
respondent to-day eve might as well
find ont first as last who rules in this
