There is no other va1or in the world that
even stands comparison with that displayed
by the woman called upon to protect her
children from violence. There is no weapon
that woman will not WELD and no danger
that she will not dare. 1t is before and after
their birth that too many women fail to
protect their children from the greatest of
all dangers, the most blighting of all inher-
itances-feeble and sick1y bodies.
The woman who properly prepares for the
greatest event of her life, motherhood -
who takes the right care of herself during
the expectant period, and sees that she IS

Ethnike Hetairia.

From the Tablet.
The famous secret society. the Ethnike
Hetairia. Is apparently Of quite recent
origin. and IL formed on the model of the
Philike Hetairia, which prepared the rising
Of 1921 and claims a large share in the
giories of the war Of independence. The
Ethnike Hetairia or National Society is a
patriotic body appealing to the whole Hell
lenic body. From time to time 1t has is-
sued proclamations and directions, which
have been printed In the Greek newspa-
pers These have been addressed to the
government. and even to the king: but they
bore no signature except "Ethnike He

with the well-kEown historical motto over
1t. EN- touto rika," meaning by this con-
Quer. When the society began to be talk
ed about. there were also rumors to the
enect that 1t was collecting large sums Of
money. 1t Is positive fact that It has
secured monthly contributions from an
enormous number Ut people. not only IN
Greece. but wherever CREEKS are to be
found. These subscriptions were paid with
aiacrtfy and regularity: 80 much 80 that
even Greek servant girls In Constantinople

In degree corresponding to- their ability.
About two months ago public subcomniit-
tees were formed by weli-known people in
Greece. These were called branches, and
they received subscriptions. but they lad,

officers OF the army have taken the oath

THE FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
The Speed Of Ducks and Swallow. nm

The Speed Of Ducks and Swallows on
the Wing.
From the Hartford Post.
There has been some difference I'm the
conclusions of observers as to the relative
nelght above the earth, and more esDe-
cially as to the relative velocity Of move
ment, in the semi-annual flight, north or
south, Of some of our migratory birds
Judging from all that has been observed
IL seems probable that the velocity of some
OF these far travellers has been exagger-
ated. Careful measurements by means Of
the cloud theodolites used by the observers
at the meteorological station at Blue HILL
In Milton, few miles south of Boston,
have shown that the observed fiocks of
northward-going wild geese, this spring,
were at an elevation of 96O feet above sea
level, and that the velocity of flight was
SAB miles an hour This also is about the
height at which a flock Of wild ducks few
and their velocity was AS miles an hour
These Veocitics are nowhere near the speed
with which wild ducks have been credited:
for these swift bros have been said to lily
at a rate exceeding 100 miles an hour.
That ducks do. at times, exceed the rate
noted by the Blue Hill observers seems
very probable. but it Is by no means GER
tain that they ever fly at such a velocity
as lO0.S miles an hour. as some observers
have asserted. Just what velocity would
be requisite. In a duck striking the heavy
protecting glass of lighthouse, to drive
his bill down his throat, may be difficult;
problem; but the fact itself has been noted,
in the case of at least number of one
flock of ducks that had been flying south
ward on their autumnal migration. and
were picked up at the foot of the light
house tower on Anastatia island. near st.
Augustine in Florida. Sweeping on in the
darkness of cloudy night. the ducks had
followed the increasing beam from the
light, and dashed down upon the thick but
clear glass wall with the effect above men,
toned. Very likely a velocity of sixty
miles an hour would suffice to drive
ducks bill down his throat: and 1t may be
a question whether the ducks ever really
fly at a much greater velocity than sixty
to seventy miles an hour. There are other
migrating birds-notably the swallows, now
about to arrive in Connecticut once more
on their return from the south-that seem
to fly at least as swiftly as the wild duck.
AS to elevation. 1t seems probable that few
migrating flocks of any kind travel at q
greater height Except in going over noun
teirs) than about 1000 to 800 feet The
smallness and indistinctness of high-flying
fiocks of geese, seemingly SO far up as al
most to blend with the gray sky. and to
render their far cries almost inaudible
would all be produced II these large birds
were flying at an elevation no greater than
1,500 to ], 800 feet.
