Der Reserve in these hills. l would like
to know, as would also some others,
where the timber is. Certainly not in
that part of the GREAI reserve that lies in
Bottineau County, or the western part OF

all the live timber were in one body, that
any one could find more than fifty acres of
it. and poor stuff at hat. There were.
until the past summer, a few groves OF
young poplars, but tn, fires have cleaned
everything f,nm the west line of T. I62

land is fine farming land. and no gooi for
anything else. for the fires are bound to
k .-p ever the brush burned off as in the
past summer, until there are enough
settlers in these hills to keep the fires out
There is even very little brush left now.

not one wheel, but several where their

WEIGHT or eiRDs' HEARTS.

They Arc Heavier In Proportion Than
Those Of Animals.
Most people will be surprised to learn
that the hearts Of birds are far heavier
proportionately than the hearts OF ami
mails, including man, but q little OF
PLANTATION will show that this is quite
natural. The mors the body works the
greater the demand upon the heart, upon
which falls the duty Of driving the
blood through the body; hence the heart
develops and becomes heavier. Every
body knows that birds are among the
most active and hard working of living
creatures. The swallow can overtake an
express train. The falcon will carry q
load weighing. three pounds in the air
without hindranoe to its power Of fight
or its speed. In short, they have q tre-
mendous capacity for work.
The celebrated ornithologist, Marcy,
states that u sea gull weighing ~
pounds is capable of performing in one
second work equivalent to raising q
weight Of nine pounds n yard high. A
man weighing $50 pounds, to be equal
to the sea gull, would have to lift $50
pounds one yard high in n second If
a mar 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 Al 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 Al follows, the figures representing
the one-thousandth parts Of the total
weight: Pig. 4. SO; OK, 4. so; sheep, COL;
horse, {. 81. The domestic animals thus
come fairly close to man The wild
roebuck has an exceedingly heavy heart
Ills. ......
Most birds are a long way ahead of
animals. The carrier pigeon comes out
at IL. 25; the common sparrow, 18. ~;
the hobby, an extremely active species
of falcon, 16. 90, and the song thrush,
IS. The heart of the last named is.thus
five times heavier than that Of man in
comparison with the total weight

Thunderstorm Zones.

This subject has been somewhat close
ly studied by Professor Klossovsky, d.
rector Of the observatory at Odessa, who
has published a paper On the annual
distribution of thunderstorms yer the
globe.
His observations show that q high
temperature, a certain degree Of humid
ity ana q considerable amount Of rain
fall are the chief agents favoring the
developments Of thunderstorms. A COL
ored map which accompanies Professor
Klossovsky's paper shows the existence
Of a zone of electric activity Of great in
tensity OH both sides of the equator,
and this is also the zone of greatest rain
fall The zone is divided into three sec-
tions, the first embracing Asia and
Oceania, Indo.C China and the Sunda
isles to New Guinea. Over this zone
the yearly average of thunderstorms is
90 to 100. The second zone starts from
the west coast Of Africa between 8 and
10 degrees north latitude and 8 degrees
to 10 degrees south latitude. while the
third zone comprises the tropical regions
Of America between 30 degrees aud 2
degrees north latitude, where the mean
annual number of storms exceeds 100.
To the north OF this zone, which is
termed the eleotrio equator, the storms
decrease in number until the deserts of
Africa, Egypt, Persia and central Asia
are reached, where the rainfall is scanty
and thunderstorms rare. To the north
Of the Zone Of deserts, especially over
the continents Of Europe and Asia, the
electric activity is somewhat increased.
The data colleeted from the high lati-
tudes Of the southern hemisphere refer
principally TO the Falkland islands.
where the average number Of storms is
only four.
