From the Hartford Daily Times.
A French naturalist has shown that the
wing area Of flying animals varies from
about 40 square feet per pound of weight
in the gnat and square feet in the swal-
low to half a square foot per pound OF
weight In the Australian crane. which
weighs 81 pounds and vet flies well II we

ton, a man weighing 16s pounds would. re-
quire a pair of wings each of them Il feet
long by feet broad. or double the area of
an ordinary room door to carry him. with
out taking into account the weight OF the
wings themselves To pick out other aerial
instances, IL may not be generally known
that a frigate bird can travel at the rate
of hundred miles an hour by chronograph
and live in the air a week at a time day
and night, without touching a roost; that
large and heavy birds can remain almost
motionless in air for hours without Tapping
their wings: that birds can exert contin-
uously about three times the horse power
per pound of weight that man cam The
energy given out by birds is in fact weie,no
for weight, unparalleled In nature

CLAIMS HE Is NOT INSANE
Prcndergast Objects to His Attorneys
Line or Defense.

CHICAGO, Dec aLImmediately on en-
tsring the court room this morning
Prendergast gave his attorneys a writ
ten statement To the effect that he did
not want 10 be defended on the plea Of
insanity. tie did not want the public 10
think that he did not murder Mayor
Harrison for their good. The statement
was lengthy one and his attorneys
refused 10 give il out. saying thatsit
would probably be used in evidence.
The afternoon session had not pro
gressed many minutes. when Prcnder-
CAST unburdened his mind. asserting his
right to be heard. Attorney Wade fried
10 stop his client from interrupting
the states examination OF vanjre-
men. but the irrepressible fellow
resented the attempt 10 muzzle him
for his own good by exclaiming ii sm
defendant in this case, your honor. and
a defendant has right TO be heard in
his own behalf" Judge Brentano again
notified Prendergast that his LAWYERS
would do all the talking that. was
needed on his side OF the case.
Early iu the day the court suspected
that there was a concerted effort on the
part OF the business men summohed To
AfOiu ccftluk Ou tut 0g uiahtuk
such answers as 10 disqualify them.
The judge ordered all the venire men ex-
cluded from the room so they could not
hear the examination Of the one called.
This had the desired effect against
forming excuses similar 10 those re-
jected. and the jury will probably be
secured tomorrow. The second quartet
OF jurors is composed OF business men
like the first four. Prendergast's last
interruption OF the day was TO ask the
court: rYour honor. is not murder the
taking Of life with malice aforethoughty
Is that not the ruler
The Judge did not answer. Attorney
Trude said, evidently for effect on the
jury: That in the rule OF law. you are
quite right. Mr.. Prendergast" The
most interesting incident happened just
before adjournment
&c. Hennicke or G.. A. Fleisher viii
step forward" commanded Judge Bren-
tano in a stern voice. A young business
man came to the box. accompanied by a
special bailid. The Judge wanted to
know why the man gave the name of
Hennicke instead OF his own TO the
bailiff. and why he did not obey the
summons to appear IN court Tor jury
service this morning Fleisher said he
gave no name and was not told 10 ap-
pear in the morning. but the court be-
lieved the bailiff. Fleisher is the owner
OF a Wabash avenue art store. succeed
ing G. Hennicke. The judge rapidly
read the Law TO the offending citizen, de
claring him guilty OF contempt OF court.
fined him ESQ and costs and ordered his
confinement in jail until the fine was
paid. Fleisher produced check. but
the court officers would not accept IL.
and he was kept in custody for a short
time. He was also ordered by the judge
10 appear in court tomorrow for jury
service. Eight jurors had been secured
when court adjourned.
