THE SPEED OF BIRDS
Nearly So Great as Many People
Have Imagined.

1t seems probable that current esti-
mates of the speed of the birds fight
must be modified. Monday, June ~,
a number of carrier pigeons were flown
from the Shetland islands to London.
THIS is great distance even for trained
birls. the total length of the journey
being 591h miles. The date being only
week after the longest day of the
year, the birds had the advantage of
daylight during the whole flight, and
the winner reached the house of it's
owner, Mr.: Clutterbuck of Stanmore,
in eight minutes under 16 hours. They
had been liberated at Lerwick at 8: so
a. m. The official weather chart of the
meteorological office gave, not for the
first time, information of the utmost
value for estimating the conditions of
wind under which the fight was made.
Every arrow from Kirkwall to Lon
den pointed due south. In other words,
the birds had the wind behind them
throughout their journey.
The result is that, in what is very
nearly an approach to migration
flight, the pigeons travelled at speed
of 81 miles an hour An interesting
correspondence in the Field, following
the announcement of this fact, showed
how widely observers differ on the most
interesting question. but the records
approach more nearly to the lower es-
innate in each case in which accuracy
has been possible. and in any case the
surmises of the late Dr. Gatke that mi
grating birds travelled occasionally at
speeds reaching $50 miles an hour can
not now be seriously defended. Yet
such an observer as Mr.. Frohawk. one
of our best painters of birds and ami
mails, isconvinced that godwing can fly
at a speed of $50 miles an hour, and Sir
Ralph Payne Gallwey reckons the flight
of teal as sometimes reaching 140
miles an hour. But it has been calcu-
lated that if the godwing were flying at
$50 miles an hour it would have to over
come a resistance Of air equal to a
pressure of 112 pounds per square foot,
or considerably more than the force OF
a hundred-mile hurricane. Other cor
respondents give instances which leave
little doubt that shore birds do travel
at speeds considerably above so miles
an hour; but as regards the fight of
the pigeon, some experiments carried
out by the proprietors of the Field
many years ago leave little doubt that
the speed shown in the Shetland fight
is normal. Twelve records with the
chronograph gave highest speed to
the "blue rock" pigeon of from 33 to 3s
miles per hour. Pheasants and par
tridges were also subjected to expert
ment. The former made record of
3s miles an hour, and the partridges,
when we'll on the wing, of 80 miles

pect to see her, but in real life she is
almost too good to be true.
Her name is Barbara Daneria and
by profession she is highwayman.
The English Vocabulary doesn't pro-
vide any better title for her, since the
makers of the language didn't foresee
her advent, so highwayman we must
call her, regardless of rules of gender
If. as pui-ists insist, woman writer is

woman poet shouldn't be called poet

Barbara is all that we have loved in
the notorious Claude. She is dashing
and beautiful She rides like centaur
She can scallop the edge ola tiny Prus-
sian coin with rifle bullets at any range
within sight. Her manners would grace
court. She avoids the shedding of
blood, if that is within the possibil-
tiles, and, like all. famous knights of
the road, she robs only the rich, and
gives with open hand to the poor. She
delights in audacious ruses and has
keen sense of humor and of dramatic
effect. Up to date she hasn't danced
minuets on the surf in the moonlight
with any of her victims, and she can't,
with good effect, offer handsome
traveller his freedom in exchange for
kiss, as was the custom with all chew
alrous Claudes. In fact, she is handi-
capped by her sex, and yet her sex
adds to the romance of her story. She

pcrsmith OF that vessel. an energetic,
faithful man, thought its interior
should be examined, and, although
warned repeatedly never to enter such
a boiler without an open light, removed
an upper manhole plate and crawled
in upon the braces with an electric
light. He told no one that he was go-
ing into the boiler and no one was sta
toned to assist him in case of need.
His dead body was found half out and
half in the boiler manhole with the
electric light still burning brightly
within the boiler. He had evidently
crawled in upon the braces, felt a faint

deavored to regain the open air, but lost
consciousness, just as life lay within
his reach, and so died of asphyxiation.

For the first time in the Taggart political
history Indianapolis gamblers are not offer
ing odds on his election.-Frankfort News.
indianapolis holds her city election for
municipal officers on Tuesday next, and it
now looks very much as if the Republican
candidate for mayor would swipe the patch.
The people of that city are opposed TO Tag

There are many reasons why Charles A.
Bookwalter should be elected and Thomas
Taggart defeated. We can only adj
monish the indianapolis Republicans to do

take any very conspicuous part in the
oceedings.-Greenfeld Republican.

of the capital city are awakening to the
fact that the first municipality Of the State
should be managed and conducted upon a
higher plane of efficiency, integrity and
morality than 1t has yet reached or is likely
to reach under n Taggart administration
and the influences that exercise a govern
ing power in it.-Brookville American.
1t is barely possible that Tom Taggart.
mayor of Indianapolis, has consented to
run once too often. AS straw in

stated that three weeks ago large odds were
offered on Taggart and there were no taxi

have been covered and even bets on Book

man and he explained to the audience that
their candidate would not arrive until later,
owing to several other meetings that he

gave an eloquent address on the so-called
independent movement among the negroes.
He said that these men who style them
selves as independent colored voters are no
better than those of the colored race who
