 The harpy eagle is very swift, being easily able to outstrip the birds upon which it preys. It has also very keen vision. It is able to see, so those say who have closely observed it, a white patch no larger than a hens egg on a green tree or field two miles distant
 Next to the harpy eagle in weight, but not so great in spread of wing, comes the bustard. Bustards have been known to weigh thirty pounds, but their wing spread Is never more than nine feet. In early days bustards inhabited the cen tral and northern parts of Europe, but they were much sought after for their delicate flesh.
 In Canada the bustard corresponds in a measure to the wild goose, though it is not so large as the European bustard.
 Bustards do not resemble in the least as some have imagined-the buzzards of North America. The former are related to the crane and plover family, whereas buzzards belong to the hawk family, and are never eaten.
 Owing to it's weight and size, the bus tard holds a place next to the harpy eagle Bustards do not fly rapidly and are more harmless than the harpy.
 Wild turkeys come next to bustards, both in size and spread of wing. Audubon made observations of turkeys weighing more than thirty pounds Tame turkeys also reach that weight.
 The spread of wing of the turkey Is not so great as that of either the harpy aeaglss or the bustards Hence the wild

ter had already found a table, but changed over to a bigger one after intro auctions had been made, and In few minutes George Barkwill, another Ken wood man, suddenly asked:
 "Oh, by the way, old man, have you joined the Buffaloes?"
 Borden winked at one Of the men who had accompanied him and replied:
 ''The Buffaloes? What do you mean?'
 ''It's the new society,"" Barkwill replied. "You ought to go in. Eeverybody's join ing. Initiation fees only Il cents and no dues"
 Sly glances were exchanged by the jokers, and Borden, pretending to be as innocent as a lamb, gave his friend the attorney nudge. replying:
 "If that's all, I guess I'll have to go in. Where can a fellow join?"
 Right here, said Barkwill; 'Ill initi- ate you now if you like. All you have to do is to pay the initiation fee"
 Down in his heart Borden felt sorry for Barkwill There were nine men in the party all more or less extravagant in their tastes Barkwill was not rich man and he had family to support. But he had brought the thing upon himself, and would have to bear the consequences After looking in a knowing way at the men who had been admitted to his con- fidence, Borden said:
 "All right; I'm ready. No goat-riding or anything of that kind. is there?'

forty pounds, and measure from tip to tip strength has been noted on more than one occasion to be more than that of a man.
 When von Humboldt was making obser- vations in South America near Mount Chimborazo he saw condors flying high over the top of the mountain. Their all titude must have been not less than 2S, 600 feet.
 A remarkable feature in connection with the flight of the condor consists in it's ability to fly upward without Tapping it's wings This it does in a series of circles which enlarge as the bird wheels up ward in a species of opening spiral.
 The condor has also the power of pois- ing itself absolutely still in the air. Dar- win observed a condor at a great aiti- tude remain perfectly still for half an hour. No movement was observed during this period, though doubtless there must have been some inperceptible movement.
 The next largest bird to the condor is the harpy eagle found both in South America and the Philippines. These birds do not weigh so much as condors and the spread of wing is not so large.
 They are far more fierce is their man. ner of attack. however, and are more dreaded by natives.
 The South America harpy eagles were so named by Jesuit traveller. who first took note of their predatory character. He recalled the ancient mythological tales about the Greek harpies. which were won't to fly down on festive occasions, destroying everything within reach and even carrying off persons.
 The harpy eagle is larger than any othr, 'ersbtrd of the, epgtaf class It's weightS ana

From the Chicago Times-Herald.

MT Borden of Kenwood made arrange ments a few days ago to turn the joke hack upon the Buffaloes if any of them tried to initiate him. He went to the bank and got handful of pennies and a lot of dimes, and put them into one of the outside pockets of his overcoat, where they would be easy to find He was not going to be caught without eleven cents in change if he knew 1t.
 During the forenoon Mrs. Borden came downtown and called on her husband. probably just to make sure that he was well, or 1t may have been that she want sd to see what kind of a looking yosaI,z woman his new stenographer was. or there may have been some other reason why she dropped in" At all events. she suddenly entered his office and sat down to stay awhile. During her visit MT. Borden was called to the office on an at torney on the floor above, and while he was away his wife looked through the pigeon-holes and the various drawers of his desk. Then she sauntered carelessly over to the door behind which his over coat hung and fumbled around there for q while.

 At lunch time Borden expected 10 nave some fun He knew of a place where half dozen pikers always met, ana ne felt sure that If he went in where they were gathered they would at once pro pose to initiate him into the order or Buffaloes.
 So he went to Bankhead, the attorney on the floor above, and to three or four other good fellows who had offices In the building, and invited them to go along to participate in the joke
 You see." he explained, they'll ask me if I'm Buffalo, and I'll say no Then they'll propose to initiate me. and I'll say all right, and they'll tell me the fee is Il cents. expecting, of course, that l haven't the money in change.
