THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
Do Not Fly Nearly So Fast ass They
Are Credited With Doing.

Are Credited With Doing.
II you consult the usually accepted au.
thorities on the speed of birds in their
fight you are likely TO be misled by an
exaggeration OF from loo to 800 per cent
This is because figures have been given on
hearsay, appearance and very superficial
observation. But recently American.
! English and French observers have been
comparing notes, and are practically
agreed, after most careful calculation,
on the speed of the best known birds.
They started with the carrier pigeon
and have made him base OF compari-
son. He has heretofore been credited
with 10 miles an hour. but il is now
agreed that he is entitled TO so. A quite
recent long distance. carefully conducted
test of 5s2 miles, from the shetland ISL
ands to London. showed that the mose
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an naar On
shorter distances none made more than
50 miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land, and have been supposed
not to fly by night or TO rest on the wa
ter. they have been credited with q
speed of from $50 to 800 miles an hour.
II they did fly at that speed they would
nave ~ oNelcpHit an atmospheric pressure
of from liz to lso pounds 10 the square
foot of flying surface. There is no cer-
tainty that they fly more rapidly than a
passenger pigeon or that they do not ny
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed a rapid
fiier, has been credited with $50 miles an
hour, but he must be cut down TO IS
miles. and the marten is FIVE miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten ahead.
The teal duck is brought down from
l4O 10 80 miles an hour. The mallard liz
five miles slower. and flies the same as
the eanvashack, while both OF these are
five miles an hour ahead OF the wild
goose and elder duck.
The pheasant makes IS miles an hour,
which is three miles ahead of the prairie
chicken and quail, though the latter ap.
pears TO fly much faster, on account OF
his temporary burst of speed. that sell
dom exceeds 800 feet. The crow flies Is
miles an hour.
Small birds appear TO fly more rapidly
than the large ones, and have deceived
many observers. The humming bird
does not fly as fast as many awkward
appearing, very much larger Hopping
birds.-Chicago Times-Herald.

LIQUOR BRIBEs IN MAINE.

The New Voice gives some interest
ing details OF bribery and attempted
bribery up in prohibition Maine by
those engaged in the illegal sale OF
liquor in that State. At a recent leg
iglative hearing in Augusta, on a bill
proposing to put the Sheriff OF Cum
berland county on a salary instead OF
the usual payment in fees. Sheriff
Pearson Stated that he had been Of
fered a1bribe of $4,000 if he would al
low TWO specified brands of Deer to be
sold in that county, and this for the
single year of 1901 only. He also de-
tailed an offer of large sum Of money
If he would allow Two hundred and
fifty barrels of beer of certain brand
to be brought into the county, with
the privilege reserved to him TO seize
twenty-five barrels in order to deceive
the people. Some private citizens gave
interesting testimony. One servant
girl said: Last year got one dozen
and five dozen bottles of beer at
time from Boston. Now I can only
get one bottle at time" And an old
woman said: I'VE poor people have a
hard time to make living now. l
used to pay the old Sheriff $500 a year,
and could sell liquor; now Pearson is
in Office and / have to stop altogether"
Much other testimony relating to
bribery and the payment of money to
officials for winking at violations of
the law was adduced, and from study
of it there is little reason for wonder
that Maine is only prohibition State
in name, not in fact.

WOMEN AS WITNESSES.

A Chicago judge lately declared that
women were not as trustworthy wit
nesSes as men. This has stirred UP a
good deal of discussion, and has call
ed out opinions to the contrary from
number of other judges. 1t is not
generally known, however, that there
are some parts of the United States
even to-day where a woman cannot be
legal witness. Attention was re-
Gently called to this fact in a curious
way.
Three years ago the Louisiana Con-
stitutional Convention gave tax-pay-
ing women the right to vote upon all
questions submitted to the taxpayers.
Southern chivalry led the members of
the convention to insert in this ar
ticle clause unique in the suffrage
laws of the United States. 1t provided
that if any woman did not wish to go
to the polls in person, she might give
a proxy to friend, who might be
either man or a woman, to cast her
vote for her.
Soon after an election was held in
New Orleans to decide whether a
special tax should be levied to give
the city improved sewerage and drain
age. New Orleans was the only city
of its size in the United States with
out system of underground sewers;
the sanitary conditions were motor
iously bad, and New Orleans had often
been the gate through which yellow
fever had entered the South. Up to
that time, every effort to get the male
taxpayers to levy special tax for
haJ foi h.
paying women were given the ballot,
however, they took a great interest in
the question, and bestirred themselves
so vigorously that the special tax
was voted All the Louisiana papers
united in declaring that 1.-The women
did it, and the Business Mems Asso-
citation of New Orleans gave a medal
to Miss Kate M. Gordon, the presi-
dent of the Woman's Sewerage and
Drainage League But in the course
of the active canvass that preceded the
victory, the women found out more
about Louisiana law than they had
ever known before
A good many women wished to vote
by proxy. In every such case the
women had to give written proxy,
signed by two witnesses; and the wo-
men discovered, to their no small in
dignation, that in Louisiana a woman
cannot be a witness to legal docu-
ment. The most ignorant man whom
they might call in from the street was
competent to witness the signature;
the most intelligent woman was not.
The reason of this Anticipated anon
ly is that Louisiana law is founded
upon that of France, and French law
has small respect for women. Napol-
con said in one of his letters: "A wo-
man is only machine for producing
children. consider it a great mis-
take that a man is allowed to have
but one legitimate wife, French
law, and especially the Code Napol-
con- reflects this coarse and contemp-
tuous spirit toward women. In France
woman cannot be legal witness to
the identity of any person. not even
to that of her own brother or son, and
she is subject to a great variety OF
other disabilities. American men
treat their mothers, wives and sisters
In spirit very different from this,
and the law which debars a woman
from being legal witness is general
ly regarded as relic of barbarism.
