The Southwestern bureau lines met last
week at St. Louis and checked the Texas
grain minImums. They finished their labors
on Saturday. and each line will issue an
individual circular giving the points In
which they are interested. An attempt was
made to pass q resolution to let the long
line make the minimum and thus let all
Texas lines in. but 1t was found that the
minimums would be so high in many in
stances as to make the rate prohibitive.
and then 1t was agreed to check the bureau
minimums wherever possible n the line

that basis was to stay out Of the territory.
The state Of Texas is divided into five
groups and the bureau minimu from
Kansas City are as follows: Group i

corn. Il. and hay. 20. Group - cents per
100 pounds. above group I. except on hay.

At points where the minimums Of lines in

wherever possible. N In this way the

SOLVES SECRET OF SOARING.
Applied His Studies With Prac.
tical Results.


From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is now claimed the secret Of the. birds
flight has been discovered. News comes
from the land Of the boomerang tha Har-
grave. the kim of kite flyers has found
that the cup shape Of the under side of the
birds wing causes an air vortex to form in
flight and propel the bird against the wind

His experimental apparatus. simply bal
lasted with lead. .ascended against the
wind. 1t Is expected that with q man
taking the place of this ballast in a suit
able machine he will be able to soar aloft
against a gale .
Hargrave has made use of this principle
In his air machine and by presenting an
obstruction tie creates a revolving current
under his kite which forces It against the
wind.
Hargrave says: ,"I have noticed that
soaring Is easier in 81 wind velocity that is
increasing than when it is decreasing. I
attribute this to the volumes Of air Of high
density and velocity driving in under vol
umes OF lower density and velocity.
The contiguous surfaces will then cause
eddtes In the combined mass rotating in the
same direction that the soaring vortex does.
Ihat Is. the upper part of the eddy moving
to Windward and lower part to eeward, one
OF these would be more readily caught and
held by the propeller than when the con.
trary conditions prevailed"
