How Fast Wild Geese Fly.

During the three days ending March
22nd numerous flocks of geese were seen
migrating n~Orthward, or, rather, north
eastward, since they were following the
general trend of the coast line, which.
in New England, is nearly northeast
ward north of Cape Cod. On the morn
ing of March 22nd, while A. E.. Sweet
land and I were measuring clouds at
the ends of a base line LISA meters in
length, extending from the Blue Hill
Meteorological observatory to the base
of Blue hill, we succeeded in meaSur-
ing. with our cloud theodolites, the
height and the velocity Of flight Of one
of these focks Of geese. So rapid Is the
velocity of flight hat the flock was
visible to the observers only about two
minutes, but during lat time two sets
of measurements were taken with the
~theodolites on the leader of the flock.
The first measurements, at SAG a. m,
were accurately taken at the observa-
tory station, but were only approx
mate at the other station. The second
measurements, at $50 O'Clock a. m,
were accurate and simultaneous at
both stations. Using the second set
OF observations at both stations for
the height and the two sets OF Observa-
tons at the observatory station for the
velocity, the calculations gave the
height as 9O5 feet above the Neponset
and the velocity Of flight as 14.3 miles
an hour. The direction of flight was
from southwest to northeast.
On a previous occasion we found q
flock of ducks flying from the north
east at g. height of 95S feet with a We
lOcity Of AIS miles an hour.-H. Helm

The Crest IL the True Badge of Chivaly
and Nobility

The real meaning of a crest seems quite
obscure to many people. The crest is. in
fact, simply the on the top OF
the helmet worn by a commander, and is
to distinguish him in the confusion of bat
tie. The mantle is the covering of the
helmet. and is as inappropriate as the
crest for ladies' use, excepting only per-
sons who use it as a robe Of estate. Hell
to rank. The crest is always, unless espe-
cially stated otherwise. placed upon a
wreath upon the top Of the helmet and is
always painted thus. The crest was m
use long before armorial bearings were,
and is the true mark of chivalry and no.
bility.

same, although achievements is usually

How a Brave Shikari Killed a Mandate

You all know that a man-eater is gem
orally a tiger too old. sick, or inactive to
catch his natural prey In the jugles, so he
hangs about a village like an area sneak,
picks up goats and calves, one day falls
on a helpless man, woman or child at the
edge of the forest, and having tasted hui
man flesh, longs for more. Confirmed
man-eaters, it is said, care for no other,
, but this 1 doubt; they may prefer it to
! any other: it is probably easier to get in
many cases. But whether a tiger becomes
a man-eater by force of circumstances or
malice prepenSe, he is a terror to the
neighborhood he frequents, and, as he
adds to the tale of his victims, helpless
villagers invest him with supernatural at
! tributes, and call on their gods to avert
his wrath.
A noted specimen Of this class had killed
a great number of people about a certain
! village somewhere in Kattyawar, and had
taken to polishing off d~ak-runners as they
passed through a narrow jungly defile,
three or four miles from the village. He
grew so cunning that shikaris were haf-
filed time after time in their attempts to
: sight him. When an armed escort ac-
cOmpanied the dak-runner nothing hap
! pened; so after some days it was thought
the tiger had shifted his quarters. Then
the escort was dropped one evening, and
Immediately another unfortunate runner
disappeared. A special reward was offer
ed by the government, but without results.
For months and months the man-eater
| continued to kill with impunity. My
cousin in the staff corps, a keen shikarl
and very determined fellow, swore he
would shoot that tiger. got ten days
leave, and pitched his tent near the viii
lage in question. He tried all he knew,
tied up buffalo calves, beat the jungles
with 300 or 400 men, even accompanied a
dak-runner at dusk through the fatal de-
file, but in vain.
At last he resolved to p~ersonate the dak-
runner himself, and go alone. Attired as
a native and armed with rifle and pis-
tol, he slung a mail bag over his shoulder
and started on his perilouS adventure one
evening at sunset. Jingling a number of

eater appeared in the middle of the road
not twelve feet wide. facing In. The
man pulled up short at a distance of some
fifteen yards, raised his 12-bore, and, by
the mercy of God. dropped the tiger
stone dead with a ball in the brain.-Bad-

Is exactly like both of them. Butler
makes no bargain of which he is not the
chief beneficiary, nor enters into any COM
pact except fer gain or vengeance. Last
winter he fought Pritchard to the death:
fought his reelection to the senate with
every resource at his but failed
to defeat him. This contest over. the
next thing to be looked forward to is his
own reelection, and in due time he seeks
terms of peace from his colleague. whom
he sought by every means at his COM
mand to defeat, and, according to the
current story, gets them. We nave said
that this is like both of them. 1t is like
Butler, because he makes no deal that
does not give him the long end of the
rope. 1t is like Pritchard because it be-
trays the weakness which has marked
him ever since he became conspicuous in
politics. A man of high personal courage,
exhibiting a nerve in personal contests
which has made him the admiration of
the mountains, he has been seen before
now to weaken in politics before weak
lings like Butler. 1t does not astonish

What Is News

Recently The Augusta Chronicle on
tanned an interesting article on, What
is News?" and in renly thereto, it n
swered it's own query as follows:
News is anything that the general
public ought to know,
News consists Of events that are
either very Usual or very unusual"
News is the daily record of the hui
man race put into convenient form for
the public"
News is the panamOra of the world
every t~wenty-four hours in embryo"
News is whatever the public will
read n pay for"
News is anything from Jones arri-
val in town to the fall of an empire
News is historical fact. 1t is what
ccurs not what is imagined"
News is the truth concerning men,
nations, n things. That is truth con
corning them which is helpful, or plea
SAINT, or useful. or necessary, for a
reader to know"
While on his subject our cOntempO-
rary refers to the practice which peo-
pie make Of requesting that news con
corning themselves be left out of the
paper. They want all the news, but if
it is about themselves or those con
nected with them, they ask hat it be
omitted, but if it is about other people
they like to see it in print. In other
words, eff the news is about US leave
it out; if about the other fellow, print
it, and be sure to give the full story"
This is about the idea which many
convey to the newspaper mar and there
is hardly a day that some request along
the above line is not made of the daily
newspapers.
It never occurs probably that the re-
quests are embarrassing to the newspa-
per men, but all the same it is. AS the
Chronicle observes, when it comes to
eulogy and f1attery, however undeserv-
ed and extravagant, these people are
ready enOugh to see that in print; and
it is astonishing how much it takes to
satisfy them. AS long as it is sunshine
they will say publish it by all means,
but when a shadow comes their "a
when they violate law; when the aspect
in which they will appear before the
public is not complimentary, then at
once they say: Keep il out of the pa
pers."
This is human nature. But should a
newspaper publisher accede to the re-
quest? Is he dealing fairly with those
who pay for the news? These are ques-
tons that persons who request the sup
preston of legitimate news ite:ls
should consider.-Norfolk Virginian.
