The celebrated ornithologist, Marcy,
states that sea gull weighing Il
pounds is capable of performing in one
second work equivalent to raising a
weight Of nine pounds one yard high. a
man weighing 1870 pounds, to be equal
to the sea gull, would have to lift 80
pounds one yard high III one second If
a man becomes an athlete or carries
heavy loads, his heart grows proper
tionately No wonder, therefore, that
the hearts OF our active feathered friends
are strikingly heavy as compared with
the bulk of their bodies.
The average weight Of the human
heart in normal circumstances is five
one-thousandths Of the total weight Of
the body. DR.. Carl Parrot has lately
weighed the hearts Of various animals
and birds and has found the averages to
be as follows, the figures representing
the one. thousandth parts of the total
weight: Pig, 4 so; OK. A 80; sheep, G OIL;
horse, 6,91. The domestic animals thus
come fairly close to man. Tho wild
roebuck has an exceedingly heavy heart

Most birds are long way ahead of
animals. Tho carrier pigeon comes out

five times heavier than that of man in

Thunderstorm Zones.

This subject has been somewhat close
" studied by Professor klossovsky, di-
rector of the observatory at Odessa, who
has published a paper on the annual
distribution of thunderstorms over the
globe.
His observations show that a high
temperature, a certain degree of humid
ity and considerable amount Of rain
fall are the chief AGENTS fayoriug the
developments Of thunderstorHls. y col
ored map which accompanies Professor
Klossovsky's paper shows the existence
of zone Of electric activity Of great in
tensity on both sides of the equator,
and this is also the zone of greatest rain.
fall The zone is divided into three sec
lions, the first embracing Asia and
Oceania, lndo-China and the Sunda
isles to New Guinea. Over this zone
the yearly average Of thunderstOrms is
80 to 100. The second zone starts from
the west coast of Africa between and
10 degrees north latitude and degrees
to 10 degrees south latitude, while the
third zone comprises the tropical regions
of America between 90 degrees and %
degrees north latitude, where the mean
annual number Of storms exceeds 100.
To the north of this zone, which is
termed the electric equator, the storms
decrease i'll number until the deserts Of
Africa Egypt, Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall Is scauty
and thundcrstorms rare To the north
of the zone of deserts, especially over
the continents of Europe and Asia, the
electric activity is somewhat increased.

PlrTsBUIG, Sept. lO-"Comradesn and
friends have been focking into Pittsburg
IN crowds and last night they had com.
plete possession of the city. 1t is esti-
mated that on the night before the open
ing Of the twenty-eighth national encamp-
ment at least 100000 visitors were here,
and today's arrivals will swell the mum
Der three or four times. A copious show
er fell yesterday afternoon. clearing the
atmosphere and tempering the heat so
that sightseers have had pleasant weather.
This had the effect of crowding the streets
10 an extent new er before witnessed in
P:ttsburg. which is staid old town, and
noted for its Quietude on Sunday The
saloons were closed, but other business
was transacted IN a way which made the
average citizen imagine that he was
sway from home visiting some other place
not so stiff in the observance OF the blue
laws.
Decorations Are Lavish and Artistic.
The universal comment of the visitors
regarding the decorations and display of
patriotism is that at no time in the past
at an encampment haSPittsburg been out
done. The display is lavish. and in the
majority of cases neat and tasty. As the
different visiting posts arrived they were
,,atut lal h.

with flying colors and bands playing
taken to the places assigned them, cheered
to the echo by the throngs on the side.

tee is being transacted in soldier-like
way and the ground is covered thoroughly.
Naval Veterans Revive Old Times.
The naval veterans who have arrived

Old times are certainly being revived to
them, for they observe the strictest disci-

joying it to the full. Naval discipline is
observed aboard ship" and the vets live,
as far as possible. just as they did when
on active service in the early sixties off
some beleagured city on the Atlantic or

are two men from Honolulu. They rep
