another would hiss. The most curious
that we have seen was the figure of an

How Fast wild Geese Flv.

During the three days ending March
~ numerous focks of geese were seen
migrating northward, 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 %, while A. E. Sweetland
and L were measuring clouds at the
ends of base line 1854 metres 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 fight of one
OF these focks of geese. So rapid is
the velocity of fight that the flock was
visible to observers only about two
minutes, but during that time two sets
OF measurements were taken with the
theodolites on the leader of the flock.
The first measurements, at $40 a.
M, were accurately taken at the OBJ
servatory station, but were only ap-
proximate at the other station. The
second measurements, at $50 a. m,
were accurate and simultaneous at both
stations. Using the second set of OBJ
servations at both stations for the
height and the two sets of observations
at the observatory station for the
velocity, the calculations gave the
height as 905 feet above the Neponset
River Valley, of $50 feet above sea
level, and the velocity of fight as A. 3
miles an hour. The direction of fight
was from southwest to northeast.
On previous occasion, as described
in Science of January /, we found o
flock of ducks flying from the northeast
at height of 958 feet, with a velocity
of AIS miles an hour.-H. Helm Clay

A sew neImet for .the German Armv.


A new helmet has been served out,
by way of experiment, to several regi-
ments of the German Army. 1t is
very light, being made of aluminium,
and is bronzed in order to obviate the
drawbacks which might arise from a
bright metal head-dress. Germany has
already tried aluminium horse-shoes,
buckles, and aecoutrements, with a
view to Tightening the weight which
the soldier must carry. For horse
shoes it has been found too soft, but
in other respects it has answered well.
There is one drawback which has not
been foreseen, namely, that when ex-
posed to the influence of the sun alu-
minum will store up heat to a remark
able degree, eventually becoming so hot
as to blister the skin. Whether bronz-
ing will obviate this defect remains to
be seen, but the German experiment
is one which is we'll worth the atten-
ton of all military men.-British Army
and Navy Gazette.

Mrsteries of waterloo.

The historical student is considerably
bothered by the details of the battle of
Waterloo. Starting with the one thing
certain, that Napoleon was defeated, it
is not yet satisfactorily determined
whether it was the English or the Prus-
SLAMS that won the fight 1t is also not
known with certainty whether Yelling
ton surprised his enemy or overcame
him by superior strategy; whether he
and Blucher met at La Belle Alliance
or some miles away; whether Grouchy
disobeyed orders, or carried them out
too literally. 1t is even not settled
that Wellington said, "Up, guards,
and at them, or that Cambronne cried
"The old guard dies, but never sur
renders" or where the famous ball of
the Duchess of Richmond was actually
held.

THE PORTAL TRELuIs.

The beautiful spider web tracery Of.
fected in rope work is one of the
artistic devices for "bringing down
the ceiling" i. c., shortening the up.
parent height of doorway where
sliding door and portieres are in use.
Sometimes the upper space is occupied
with strips of ornamental open wood
work. Both these decorative schemes
involve dusting. The wood lattice
work can be freed of dust by patient
use of the bellows or soft end of
cloth used in tho crannies. This is q
dangerous performance, because it
must be done on the step ladder. II

cept with feather duster, because
handling will make the metallic sheath

Great Even at Fowl Culture.

The biggest of everything in the
world is across the Atlantic, and poul-
try farms are no exception. The very
largest establishment of the kind be-
longs to Mr.. Isaac Wilbur, of Little
Compton, r. 1. Mr. Wilbur ships
about $50, 900 dozen of eggs a year.
He keeps his fowls on the colony plan,
housing about forty in a house eight
feet by ten feet, or eight feet by twelve
feet in size, these houses being about
$50 feet apart, set out in long rows
over the gently sloping fields. He
has one hundred of these houses,
scattered over three or four fields.
The food is loaded into a low wagon,
which is driven about to each house
in turn, an attendant feeding as he
goes. At the afternoon feeding the
eggs are collected. The fowls are fed
twice a day. The morning food is a
mash of cooked vegetables and mixed
meals. The afternoon feed is whole
corn the year round. - Westminster

DIET FOR NERVOUS PERSONS.

Mrs. Rorer, in q diet suggested for
nervous persons, does not veto coffee
altogether. Once day, at breakfast,
without sugar, it appears III the list.
White bread dried out in the oven,
and lean roast beef, steak, or broiled
chops three times day are permitted.
Fruit she advises to be used sparingly,
and never in thelatter part of the day.
The surprises in the list are that cof-
fec should be allowed at ali, that meat
should be provided in abundance, and
fruit sparingly. Finally, plenty of
green salad, with all the salad oil, in
a French dressing made with lemon,
that can be taken. Fat n-ound the
nerves, she says, smooths them out

"Playin' possum" comes from the fact that
the possum will feign sleep or death when
pushed into sudden danger OF being cap
tured. But pains and aches never play that
kind of game. They never try to fool any
body, and 60 to work to wake up people,
leaving no chance to feign sleep. On the
other hand, there Is Il remedy known as St.
Jacobs Oil that will lull pain or an ache so
that II won't wake up again in the cure that
follows its use. Pnins and aches are great
or less in intensity just in degree as we treat
them, Prompt treatment with the best
remedy-St. Jacobs 0il-prevents their in
crease and by curing prevents Their return.
Everything is gained by taking pains and
aches in time for a prompt and permanent
cure, and there is nothing better than the

QUICK METHOD or CLEANING KNIVES.
After the knives have been washed
and wiped, moisten little ordinary
knife powder with water; then take a
clean cork, dip it in the mixture and
rub each blade quickly up and down
on both sides several times. Every
stain will disappear and the blades will
be brighter than if rubbed on tho
board in the usual way. They will
want another rinse in water, and q
final polish with a cloth. If the knives
do not seem quite sharp enough by
this plan, weekly rub on the steel
will do oil that is required.

Alcohol Makes Liars.

Or. Norman Kerr, in speaking OF exces-
slVe alcoholic Indulgence, saws: ''One of
the most distinctive features of habitual
and periodic inebriety is an utter disregard
for the truth on the part of MANY inc.
briates. Females lose the sense of truth
more completely than do males. Seen in
the very act Of laying down the lust en-
ptied glass, patients have eoolly and
solemnly denied to me that they had par-
taken OF the contents. The perception Of
truth seems to be destroyed by alcoholic
indulgence; the consciousness of truth
seems to be lost in the deyetee of Bacchus.
Even when temporarily sober tbo hroin
may be SO dominated by the alcoholic Oh
hquity to truth that no reliance can be
placed on any statement made by the man
or woman whose soul has, as it were, been
stepped in alcohol"

IL Is not only unmanly, says Charles
Follen Palmer in "Inebriety," but mean
spirited, for the Incorporate man to de-
clare that, although he is weak on the one
point OF getting drunk, he is especially
strong on other temptations; that. al
though he gives way to inebrlety, he does
not do so In other vices, such ns gambling
lying stealing, taking undue advantages
OF another In bargain, scandal-monger-
ing, bearing false witness. adultery and the
like. He deceives himself and attempts to
deceive others when he SAYS so, for he
knows that he docs not exercise any strong
force OF moral resistance to these. and that

ever; for It might be harder TO gamble
than not TO gamble, to take advantage Of
another than not to do so, to commit adul-
terry than TO subdue the prudent fear Of
consequences, to steal than not TO steal.
The truth is that he will exhibit greater
moral strength in fighting against his one
great temptation, drink, than in any other
direction, and it is In this one direction
that his restoration TO the full stature of
man is to come.
The temperance zealot, lacking the an
petite or desire for liquor, may be much
less the man, as far as drink goes, than the
inebriate who resists his craving for drink
hve times out of ten; and so 1t is with every
virtue in the calendar. We are only
strengthened, developed, and made right
ful claimants and possessors of the title
ana dignity OF manhood by our successful
hghtings with every form of weakness.
A large number of men and women go
through life with the credit of being manly
men and moral women, who have never
had a temptation sufficiently strong and
potent for kitten not to resist ON the
score OF impropricty, and who yet fail to
resist even these.
