rIIuht of Wild Gesse.

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance
OF the atmosphere and sagacity in
overcoming it. When flocks of them
have to go long distances they form
triangle to cleave the air more
easily, and the most courageous bird
takes position at the forward angle.
AS this is very fatiguing post an
other bird ere long takes the place
Of the exhausted leader. Thus they
place their available strength at the
service Of tho society.
