MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
They Fly at Great Attitudes and Attain
Speed Well Nigh Incredible.

They Fly at Great Attitudes and Attain
Speed Well Nigh Incredible.
Boston Herald: The investigations of
the celebrated artist and savant, Helm
rich Cookie, have thrown an interest
ing light on many facts hitherto IN
known concerning the migration of
birds. 1t has been noticed that when
the time of departure comes the birds
vanish as if by magic This is explained
in various ways. The migration fight
is always at an extremely lofty altitude.
and it also takes place generally at
night. The structure of birds renders
them capable of existing at an incred-
ible height. They can ascend to an ele-
walton of from 80, 900 to 10000 feet, and
at such heights sustain great muscular
efforts for considerable lengths of time.
At this altitude birds attain to astound-
ing speed, a speed which seems to come
to them simply for the purpose of mi
grafton. While the swallow is supposed
to fly with the speed of the fastest train,
the northern blue-throat, bird which
under normal conditions only hops,
makes the journey from Central At
RIGA to Heligoland in a spring night of
scarcely nine hours. Its average rate
is therefore 1870 geographical miles an
hour. The Virginia plover, according
to Mr.. Gootke, travels at the rate of four
miles a minute, that is, 24O miles an
hour This incredible speed is of course
only attained at great attitudes, where
the extreme rarity of the air causes
less loss of muscular power in over
coming friction and there is no wind
to act as an impeachment to progress
What guides birds in their migration2
After fifty years of study Mr.. Cookie
refuses even to attempt to answer OF
this question from scientific point OF
view. What adds to the mystery is
that young birds of the year-their age
not exceeding six or eight weeks-per-
form this first journey of their lives
with the same unerring certainty as the
old individuals which follow a month
or SO later.

THE COLONEL WAS MEAN.
For Big Man He Played a Small
Game with His Car tickets.

Game with His Car ricketts,.
From the Chicago Tribune: Col.
Blank was big. pompous man. as it
behooves one to be who aspires to a
military title without the ORA wbacks Of
military life. He was always calling
peoples attention to his marked facial
resemblance to James G. Blaine, 1.-The
greatest man, sir, this century and this
country have produced" And people
ill-natured people, that is-thought the
colonel had a vivid Imagination. There
was a prodigality about his physique
that one somehow expected to see re-
peated in the colonePs character. And
to hear the colonel hold forth from the
end of the boarding house table over
which he presided, the unsophisticated
boarder would never have doubted that
such a reasonable expectation would be
realized on closer acquaintance. What,
then, was this unsophisticated ones
surprise to hear the doughty colonel.
evidently in O. high good humor with
himself, say one day: We'll, earned
my fare downtown today" That the
colonel would stoop to earn a nickle
was remarkable; that he should boast
ceeded the man of military aspirations,
81 went down in the earette. Getting
in at Schiller street the carette was
empty, and 1 went way up to the front
and bought six tickets for a quarter.
One dropped in the box. Then as the
car filed up l was exceedingly useful
to those who sat farther down, passing
their fares up and depositing them.
An exceedingly polite man they all
thought me. And so I am, so | am.
But instead of dropping their nickles
in the box I dropped my tickets in until
had used up my five tickets and con-
fiscated five nickles. l had regained
my quarter and paid my fare. After
that 1 was not so polite. I let people
drop their nickles into the chute which
the company provides for that purpose.
Awful nuisance, that chutee But it's
not my business to play conductor if
the company,s too mean to hire any"
And the colonel called for another cup
of tea, and the unsophisticated one
gasped to think of the smallness OF
which such greatness was capable.

Mr.. T. P. O'Connor, a member of the
English house of commons, has views
upon an ideal society. In his perfect
nation men and women will enjoy So
cial and political equality.
What want to see," says this sY-
dent champion of our sex, lis that wo-
man should be placed in such an eco
nomic position that marriage will not
be entered into by her as the last and
the only means she has of getting a
livelihood. Every woman should be
taught to be self-supporting if she be-
longs to those who have to live by their
own exertions; and, indeed, whether
she does or not, she ought to learn to
help herself, for even settled facts may
disappear In the weather. classeT
woman should be given the highest ed
ucation she is capable of receiving, so
as to be an intellectual companion to
her husband ii she desire to have one
and to herself if she choose to- live
alone" But the admirable common
sense of these statements is somewhat
counterbalanced by the fact that in
Mr.. OConnor's ideal state every girl
will be married at II and every mSR
at 21"
