Tho Ducks Make Over sixty-six Miles an

OF all the migratory birds the Ameri.
can wild pigeon and black duck are well
up toward the front as regard long and
rapid fight. The speed of the pigeons
can only be estimated, while that of the
ducks can be established by observation.
Some years ago the writer and scien-
tifio friend measured off on the shore Of
a large western river line exactly three
miles long, and each took a station at
opposite ends of the line. The object
was to note, by means of preconcerted
| signals the time flock of wild ducks
took in passing up or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours on the morning
of q bright October day, observations
were noted of the times of passing the
stations of nine different focks. Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time was minutes and AZ
seconds. thus showing the speed per
hour to be 6G2a miles, or one mile in "a
seconds. As showing how uniform was
their flight, difference was found of
only five seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
AS numerous flocks of wild geese
were daily flying in the same neighbor.
hood observations were also taken to test
their hourly speed. Two points twenty,
nine and one-third miles apart were So
lected both of which were connected by
telegraph. We succeeded in identifying
four out of seven fiocks which passed
over both places during the four day.

A book OF Mark IVAN CllaU
5 seldom mentioned is The
Golden Age" 1t was written
n collaboration with Charles
Dudley Warner and is by
many regarded as one of the
very best works of the Ian
guage. The play of "Col. Sci
lers" in which the actor John L.
Raymond made such a great
success, was taken from "The
Golden Age" Perhaps the
public has thought there was
little in the book besides Col
Sellers. This is great mis-
take. Col. Sellers is merely
one of a score of characters.
The real feature is its story of
Washington life. Half of the
best sketches ON lobbying and
the workings of the depart
ments of the government of
the United States are cribbed
from "The Golden Age"
Mark Twain is a living exam
plar of the truism that few of
the good writers have any
business ability. He became
a partner in a big publishing
house and all hands made
money off his work. The COM
pany brought out the Grant
memoirs and thought it had a
diamond field with a free mill
ing gold quartz quarry ON the
side. The memoirs of Sherman
and Sheridan did not take at
all and the company failed. In
the general wreck the claims
were lodged against Mark
| Twain and he was shorn like a
sheep by machinery. The per-
manent financial successes OF
life are not a great many.
This is probably because SC
many of them fail to figure
that there is really such thing
as a money market.

There never was given to the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union more signal opportunity for
proving its 81 lendid vitality than when
it found itself forced to enact in the
capital of the nation on the evening
of February Is the play of Hamlet,
with two Hamlets left out. There
had been hope until almost the last
moment that Miss Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset might rally from
la grippe enough to admit of their
presence upon the platform, even if
they could not speak. But hopes we're
vain, and the general officers, speak
ers AMI invited guests found them
selves facing an audience of four
thousand disappointed men and
women. However, the first shock of
the disappointment soon passed, and
then it became manifest that the Peti
tion itself was the Hamlet in. that
play. Hanging in great festoons from
the girders all up and down that inn
mense hall, rolled in "original pack
ages" at the ends of the festoons,
piled in great masses on the platform
the sight OF so many prayers was,
in itself, an inspiration and right
royalty did both platform and floor
respond to it, The Moody choir gave
glorious music; Mrs. L. M. n. Stevens
presided in her own quiet, capable,
dignifed manner; Anna Gordon read
admirably Miss Wizards wonderful
address on the history and import of
the Petition; Miss Kearnev, Mrs. Bar
ker and Mrs. Hoffman were in their
very best and brightest vein, as fre-
quent and prolonged applause testi-
fled; Dr. Lunn gave stirring speech,
while Miss Helen Potter's presentation
of John B. Cough brought back that
glorious old hero in very life. Alto
gether it was soul stirring occasion.
Many senators and representatives
were present, both on the platform

Strawberries for the East.

Puget sound strawberries seem des-
tined to tickle the palates of lovers of
luscious fruits in Minneapolis and St.
Paul. The shipment of one car day
before yesterday will be followed up by
others, and it is thought that two
cars may be sent this week. Arrange
ments have been made to concentrate
in this city the entire crop of Thurs
ton and San Juan counties, and for
ward the berries east in refrigerator
cars as soon as as possible after they
pass into the hands of the Seattle
shippers. Heretofore Thurston county
has placed no berries in this market
while San Juan county has sent them
across the line to the line to the Vic
toria cannery. The car sent east
Thursday was the first to ever go out
OF the Puget sound region and the
second to ever leave the state. 1t hap
pened that four days before the ship
ment a car load was sent out from
Walla Walla, and they, of course,
reached Minneapolis in advance of the
home shipment. The effect of the
shipment, which was bought at 81
per crate, was noticeable yesterday in
that the market was thoroughly clean
ed out and that the price rose to $3.50
per crate.
Percy w. Rochester thinks Seattle.
can ship 10000 crates without robbing
the market, as that number of berries
last year rotted on the vines In three
or four years he thinks 100 car loads
per season ought to be shipped, that
is, two or three cars day. The ber-
ries are rated the finest in the world
and the crop never fails. This years
crop hetigures will be worth $4,000.

season as follows:
