AERIAL TRAVEL.
Limitations Which Surround Animals in
Their Flight.

Limitations Which Surround Animals in
Their Flight.
It Is evident that not one Of these
would-be flying machine men has ever
seriously undertaken to solve the prob
lem mentally. There is but one way
or getting through the air by mechani-
cal action, and that is by cleavage.
There are really only two forms Of
cleavage. the one as represented by
wing action as applied by insects and
birds, the other rotary action as repre-
sented by the screw of a steamer. To
the application of the wing principle
there is limit set by natural law, just
as in animal forms there is a limit set
to either bipedal or quadrupedal con-
struction.
There is, perhaps, no form of cleavage
that represents the expenditure of force
more economically than wing action as
manifested in the flight Of a wild goose.
Here is an exceptionally large avoirdu-
pois for the wing area, but the bird
cannot carry any additional weight. In
the birds Of prey, the body is lighter an
proportion to wing surface-a light.
compact frame, but immense muscular
action, capable of carrying for short
distance a load Of from eight to twelve
pounds.
But the limit is soon found, and there
is not winged creature on the earth
weighing fifty pounds that can mount
into the air and oleave as true flyer.
Why do not the ostrich, the great aux,
the emu and other congeners Of these
bird tribes properly fly, since they are
equipped with cleavers as are other
birds of flight? Walkers and SWIM
mers, as we'll as flyers, are all, by
natural law, limited within certain re-
strtcsions, and it is remarkable that
these inventors have not learned this,
as it is fact Of the utmost Importance
and one which, in a careful analysis,
must early disclose itself-Pittsburg

The Are Of Earth and Sun.

Lord Kelvin. P. R. S., was the first to
overthrow the school of biologists ana
BIOLOGISTS called Unifor1nitarians who
believe that the operations of Nature on
the earth has been going on the same
as now for an infinitude of time, by at
tempting to calculate the age OF the
earth as a cooled and solid body. His
estimate. based on data necessarily
incomplete, was that the crusted earth,
At for the support Of vegetable or an
imal life, could not be less than ten or
twenty million, or more than four hum
dred million years old. Since he pub
lished this result, which was discredit-
ed at the time, biologists have moolneo
their conceptions, and even come 10
the conclusion that, after all, the time
allowed is quite, If not amply, SUI
fcient. DR.. Clearance King, one OF our
most eminent American biologists, has
calculated from geological data that all
the stratif1ed rocks could very well have
been produced by the action OF water In
twenty-four million years.
Quite recently, however. Professor
John Perry, F. R. s., has questioned
Lord Kelvin's estimate, and assuming
that his lc"dship did not allow enough
for the greater conducting power OF
rocks for heat at high temperatures,
has calculated that the age Of the earth
is one hundred and twenty times what
Lord Kelvin made it, or matter OF
thousands of millions of years. LORD
Kelvin, thus challenged, has reverted
to the subject and made experiments
only to discover that SO far from rocks
conducting better when heated, they ap-
pear to conduct worse, so that, If any
/ thing, the lower figures of his former
estimate are probably more correct
| This result also agrees with DR.. King
conclusions, and with the age Of the
sun as calculated by Helmholtz, New
| comb, and Kelvin, at fifteen or twenty
million years, for in accordance WITT
| the nebular hypothesis Of Laplace, thu
| sun and planets originated in the same
| nebula.
