THE SOARING OF BIRDS.
A Scientific Explanation of This Sur
nrfAimg Achievement.

prisinE Achievement.
Hiram $. Maxim in the North American Review.
The soaring of .bird may be compared
with a boy sliding down hill on a sled. If
a hill Is say, 100 feet high, and the sides
slope off in a horizontal direction 1900 feet
from the summit, and if the snow is
smooth a boy can mount a sled and adj
vance 29b0 feet while he is falling, re-
lates 10 the earth. 100 feet; that is, the sled
with the boy on it in falling through dis
lance of one foot develops sufficient power
to drive the sled forward twenty feet, but
when the boy is at the bottom of the hill
and can develop no more power by falling,
the sled soon comes to state of rest. Sup
pose now, that hill could be made in such
a manner that it would constantly rise at
such a velocity that the sled would never
reach the bottom of the hill, the boy would
then be able to slide forever, and this is
exactly what occurs with bird.
A bird places it's wings in such position
that as 1t falls in the air, say one foot, 1t
moves forward through the air twenty feet:
that is, it slides along on the surface of
the air Underneath its wings in the same
manner that the boy slides down the hill.
Suppose now, that the velocity of the bird
should be about thirty miles an hour. this
would account for the whole phenomenon
Of soaring on an upward current of only
one and one-half miles an hour. With an
upward current of two miles an hour the
bird would rise. as relates to the earth,
one-half a mile an hour while actually fall
Ing through the air at the rate of one and
one-half miles an hour. There is no doubt
that bird, by some very delicate sense of
feeling and touch, is able to ascertain
whether 1t is falling rising in the air.
1t is we'll known that fish have this pow
er. If surface fish sinks too deeply in the
water the compression of its swim bladder
produces a sensation or impression upon its
brain, which causes the fish to change its
course, and relieves the pressure by coming
nearer to the surface, and similar thing
is true of the deep sea fish. If they APP
proach the surface their swim bladder be-
comes enormously distended, and no doubt
produces a sensation which the fish know
is relieved by again sinking into very deep
water. If these fish are caught and drawn
to the surface, the distension Of the swim
bladder becomes so great that it dtsplaces
all the other organs of the body.
In all probability the numerous air cells
which are found In the body Of a bird are
provided with delicate nerves, which oper-
ate in a similar manner to those of the
swim bladder Of fish, SO that as the bird
