Afraid Ii WonId Rreak.

He was big 1rlshman and his name
was Pat. He was fixing the telephone
wires and whistling to himself as be
worked. Just then milk boy came
driving down the street, and Pat made
a fatal mistake. Instead Of attending
10 his own business he tried to work
and watch the reckless driver at the
same time. The consequence was that
he did neither. What he did do was
to lose his footing. There was cry OF
horror from the bystanders below,
echoed by lusty yell from above.
Every breath was suspended and
then shout of relief went up from the
crowd. Pat had made frantic dive
for the wire and had caught 1t.
Hold ON, Pat" shouted someone who
knew him. I'VE will get you down
somehow"
Then wave of horror swept over
the crowd. The man suspended be
tween the earth and heaven suddenly
loosened his hold and fell backward
striking the ground with a slckeninG
thud.
"He is deadl" groaned the crowd, and
men covered their faces from the sight
But he wasn't. When Pat came to
and sat up dizzily, trying to realize that
he was once more on terra firma, some
one said to him:

INDIANS SET THE LESSON.

North American Aborigines Taught
Other Peoples How to Flight.
Anybody who knows anything at all
about modern fighting knows that the
North American Indian Is the man who
sets the pace. First the American
frontlersmen studied his ways and
adopted his tactics and the soldiers took
1t up. Baden Powell, so the pIucky lit
tie South African general confesses,
6rst read about American scouts and
then took lessons from their teachers,
the Indians themselves. But now there
is q slip In the chain and France is
studying the Indian without going to
the trouble of first ascertaining what
the best scout In the world, the Amer
lean soldier, thinks about 1t. France Is
trying the "fexicon march,"
Never get the leg straight" are the
French instructions. Keep the back
straight, but bent forward. Do not
throw the shoulders either back or up
That is about the way an Indian
walks, SO Captain Uline Of the Twen-
tieth Infantry confesses, but, he goes
on, he never heard Of the trick being
tried by military.
II cannot discuss the merits of the
lexicon the captain said, because

The humming bird flies as the Irish
man played the fiddle-by main
strength-the frigate bird relies on his
skill in taking advantage of every vary
ing current of air, and the skeleton of
the one indicates great muscular power.
while that Of the other shows Its abb
sence. No other bird has such proper
tionately great muscles as the hum
ming bird, the keel of the sternum or
breastbone from which these muscles
arise runs from one end of the body to
the other, while at the same time 1t
projects downward like the keel Of
modern racing yacht. These muscles
drive at the rate of several hundred
strokes a minute pair Of small, rigid
wings, the outermost bones Of which
are very long, while the innermost are
very short, feature calculated to give
the greatest amount of motion at the
tip Of the wing with the least move
ment Of the bones of the upper arm, to
which the driving muscles are attached.
Another peculiar feature is that the
outermost feathers, the flight feathers
or primaries. are long and strong, while
the innermost, those attached to the
forearm, are few and weak; so far as
flight is concerned, the bird could dis
pense with these secondaries and not
feel their loss. Finally the heart,
which we may look upon as the boiler
that supplies steam for this machIn-
cry, is large and powerful. as is neces-
sary for such high-pressure engine as
