BIRD MOTION.
Things That Have Been Found Out
by the Airship Inventors.

Things That Have Been Found Out
by the Airship Inventors.
Cincinnati Enquirer
In flight the body is moved forward by
the resistance of the air to the strokes of
the wings. The reason why the start is
the most laborious part of the process is
thus explained by NJ. Marcy, the. great
authority on all forms of animal locomo-
ton. When the bird is not yet in motion,
the air struck by its wings first Of all
presents a resistance due to its inertia,
then begins to move, and flies below the
wing, without affording any support.
When the bird is at full speed, on the
contrary, its wings are supported each
succeeding moment by new columns or
air. each one offering the initial resistance
due to it's inertia The sum of these re-
sistanees presents to the winds much
firmer basis The increase of the re-
sistance of the air diminishes the laDorS
of the bird. In calm air seaguil at lis
swiftest eXpends scarcely fifth or the
labor which it had to put forth at the be-
ginning of it's fight. The bird which flies
against the wind is in still better cond1-
tiOns. fresh masses of air continually pre-
senting themselves to its wings. Inc
start is, therefore, the most laborlous
phase of flight Hence birds employ all
kinds of articles to acquire motion before
Tapping their wings. Some run along the
ground before darting into the air, others
lump rapidly in the direction in Whlcn
they wish to fly. Others, again, let them
selves drop from a height with extended
wings. All turn their bills to the wind

Ven -zuelan President Alienates an
influential Native.

NEW YORK, Oct 3.-About a month
ago Gen. Jose Antonio Velutini, presi-
dent of the Venezuelan congress, came to
this city, accompanied by his son and
daughter. The ostensible object of Gen.
Velutini's visit to New York was to con-
suit a physician for the treatment of his
daughter. Last Saturday Gen. Velutlni
and his son left this city hurriedly for
Trinidad, West Indies, without even ad-
vising bis friends. His sudden departure
from here and his leaving Venezuela at
most critical time, for which he said the
cause was his daughters ill-health, were
explained yesterday by Senior Jose Con
zales, who represents the Venezuelan
revolutionists in this city.
A few months ago, President Ignacio
Andrade introduced a bill in the Venezu-
elan congress providing for the division
of certain states. Under the law this act
was clearly unconstitutional, and it was
this same measure which caused the pres
ent uprising of Gen. CiprianO Castro.
Gen. Velutini who is a close personal
friend Of President Andrade, tried to per-
suade him to withdraw the bill. He re-
fused to do so, and the general in terms
that could not be mistaken Informed the
president that he would not take part
in any such unconstitutional action. I'M
mediately thereafter he came to New
York, saying he would return when the
matter had been disposed Of. On his ar
rival here Gen. Velutini found a cable
message awaiting him from President
Andrade, in which the latter said that
under the circumstance of his leaving tfe
country he would be considered an enemy
of the government and must remain in
exile simultaneously with this dispatch
came the news from Caracas telling Of
the Imprisonment of Gen. Velutini S
friends.
This was more than the old warrior
could bear He Immediately put himself
in communication with the revolutionary
junta at Curacao which authorized him
to purchase arms and ammunition for the
fitting out Of a filibustering expedition
which they wished him to take from
Trinidad. The general bought with his
own funds SOC rifles and 5000 cartridges
besides other war implements, which he
will take with him from Trinidad to the

PIG TRAIN MILEAGE.
Northern Pacific Report Shows That
as Well as Earnings.

The annual report of the Northern Pa
cifc shows that the passenger and freight
trains of the road during the past year
travelled ten and a quarter millions Of
miles The total track length is 1913
miles, from which it is evident that in
order to make this showing the trains
operated by the line have been doing an
excellent business. The traffic depart
ment of the road was never in better
shape, and the annuals information con-
corning this branch Of the service has
made a most favorable impression.
The report shows that the number Of
miles run by all passenger trains last
year was 3,76S,S64, against 3,295,219 in the
year 1898, or an increase of 14.37. The
number of miles run by freight trains in
creased about half that amount. The to-
tai miles run last year We're 6,595,29S.
against 6,115 1874 for the previous year, an
increase of 1884 miles. The total train
mileage last year, both passenger and
f1eight, was 1864, 1852, against 9,4l1, 063 for
the preceding year.
During 1S9S-99 the total number of pas
sengers carried was 1,92702S against
15S3, 632 in 1S97-9S, or an increase of 1853, 1886,
equal to 21.S9 per cent. The average
miles Travelled by each passenger in 1898
80 was HOS miles against 1872, a decrease
of 21.S per cent. The tariff passenger
earnings We're $4,S57, 721 in 1S9S-99 against
$4,659, 10 in 1898, an increase of AS per
cent There were other passenger earn
ings other than tariff, which swelled the
total earnings of this department in 1888
80 to $6,121 119, an increase. of 4.96- per cent
over the preceding year. 1.-THE passenger
earnings per road mile in y1S9S-99 were
1868 against $1,536.97 in 1898, a de-
crease of % per cent.
The record of the freight department
was remarkable. There were 4,951 1873 tons
of revenue freight carried in 1898
against 5,S16,69 tons last year, an increase
of &c., 466 tons, equal to 17.4S per cent. The
number of tons of revenue freight car
ried one mile in 1898 was 1,61S, no. 2S4
against /, $50, S55, 264 in 1S9S-99 an increase
Of s212,884, $50, or equal to 1874 per cent.
The total freight earnings last year were
$40, $50 against ST, 1872 754, or an increase
of $2,05 206, equal to Ills per cent. The
total freight earnings per road mile last
year were $4,25323 against $3,996.51, or an
increase of SAT per cent. The total freight
earnings per train mile last year were
81, 966 against s., $50 for 1928, an increase

not yet solved by science. Mammoth
ivory, however, is not by any means
modern discovery. 1t was known to the
ancients, and for centuries 1t has been
used as an article Of commerce and man
ufacture. Eighty years ago the record
of one years sales of ivory in the Yak
utsk market exceeded 10000 pounds, and
the annual sales in that city from 1879
to 1881 averaged over 10000 pounds. In
1910 it was estimated that the annual
output of Siberian ivory reached nOOco
pounds, representing at least 10o lnol-
vidual mammoths, and in 1875 1t was es-
timated by Baron Nordenskjold that the
worlds ivory markets had been enrich
ed by the remains of fully 10000 Siberian
mammoths since the conquest OF Siberia.

A new development in the ivory trade
is reported With the opening up of
Central Africa the elephant will have to
%. and with it the African ivory sup
ply. 1t seems a strange subversion of
popular association of ideas in connec-
ton with the ivory market that the sup
ply of the near future will be derived,
as travellers now maintain, not from trop
zeal lands, but from the frozen regions
of the far North 1t Is stated that the
amount of ivory that is hidden in the ice
fields of the Polar regions defies estimate.
The rapid decrease in the herds of ele-
plants in Africa has turned the search
of merchants into other directions, and
the industry is concentrating itself on
special explorations for the finding of
the remains of mammoths. Reports are
constantly coming in Of finds Of frizen

CRIPPLE CREEK
Is Said to Be the Greatest Gold
Camp on Earth.

Chicago Chronicle.
Cripple Creek, Col, boasts the proud
title of the greatest gold camp on earth. :"
Cripple Creek is seven years old. The
first year the output was 100000. The
last year-1S98-it was SIS, 900, O0O The total
to date is in round numbers $6S,OOO 600.
The deepest shaft in Cripple Creek by
200 feet is the John A. Logan, owned by
the Stratton Independence company.
which is 1900 feet deep. Hence Cripple
Creeks SOS, 600, 600 is the record of the first
600 feet depth attained only by the most
prominent miners, with hundreds of holes
less than 500 feet in depth.
Cripple Creeks dividends aggregate
about 49, 5O, 900. If the profits of private
cornnanies are added the amount must be
doubled. Besides s2OOOO,OOO or more has
been expended in equipment and other
nermanent improvements and stored up
in reserve funds. Cripple Creek, the city
of $1,000 inhabitants, and Cripple Creek
the camp, are substantially the same
Most of the gold has been produced
within twenty-five square miles Of the

Il have just finished shaving a dead

contrary to his usual custom, and the
family who remember him best with a
smooth face, have been anxious ever since
to get off the whiskers. | was engaged to
shave the portrait, and hard times and
approaching rent day persuaded me to
accept the commission, which, needless
to say was highly antipathetic to my
artistic instincts.
I had to depend entirely on the recollec-
ton of the family for my data, and I
found, to my alarm, that each member
had retained a different impression Of the
old gentlemans chin One claimed 1t was
double and another insisted that 1t was
sharp and clean cut; daughter described
it as square and determined and the
widow assured me privately that it was
shaped like the prov of an armored
cruiser Altogether 1 found myself in
the deuce of a fix. 1t was no trouble to
take off the whiskers; did that in three
fell swoops; but when 1 blocked out the
Jaw experimentally and called in the
crowd for suggestions, there was a grand
chorus Of protest. Strange to say, L
pleased nobody, and 1 have been correct
ing, amending, remodeling, and doing 1t
oevr again ever since. One point of dis
pute was the location of wart, which
half of the family said was on the left
