THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
II II Not Nearly So Great a. Has Been
Generally Assumed.

Generally Assumed.
II Won 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 100 to 300 per cent.
This is because figures have been given
ON hearsay, appearance and very superb
cial observation. But recently American,
English and French observers have been
comparing notes and are pracncaliy
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, BE has heretofore been credited
with no miles an hour, but 1t Is now
agreed that he is entitled to 30. A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland Is
lands to London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an hour.
On shorter distances none made more
than 80 miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land and have been supposed
not to fly by night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with speed OF
from $50 to 200 miles an hour. II they
did fly at that speed, they would have TO
overcome an atmospheric pressure OF
from 112 to 130 pounds to the square
foot Of flying surface. There is no GER
tainty that they fly more rapidly than
passenger pigeon or that they do not ny
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed q rapid
fier, has been credited with ls0 miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to 20
miles, and the marten is FIVE miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten miles ahead.
The teal duck is brought down from
14O to so miles an hour. The mallard Is
five miles slower and flies the same as the
canvasback, while both Of these are hVe
miles an hour ahead of the wild goose and
elder duck.
The pheasant makes 38 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 seldom
exceeds 200 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 appear
ing, very much larger, slow Hopping
birds.-Chicago Tmes-Herald.

Never part without loving words to

be that you will not meet again in
life.
There is only one place where a man
may be nobly thoughtless--his death

Foolish waste of life is pitiful to see;

FLAG NOT HALF MASTED.
Why Colors are Flying at the Naval
Station.

Considerable curiosity has been eX-
pressed over the failure of the local
naval authorities to keep their flag at
half mast. Although all of the other
flags about Honolulu are at half mast
the flag at the naval station is flying
from the top of the pole.
1t appears that this action is accord
ing to the navy regulations. Formerly,
the death of the president would be in
dictated by placing the flags on war
vessels and at naval stations at half
mast for a certain period This has
been changed however and instead of
the mourning being indicated by lower
ed flags, it is done by a piece of crepe
upon the sword hilt. Exception to the
latter regulation is made on two occa-
sions. The flags are always lowered
upon receipt of news of the death of
the president and during the special
memorial day which the government
sets aside. In the present instance that
day in the States was the date of NC
Kinley's funeral but as the funeral had
already been held before the news was
received here the navy station kept the
flag at half mast last Saturday, the
special memorial day.

benevolent millionaire.

o. G. Barber, president OF the Dia-
mond Match Company, has announced
two plans which he proposed to carry
out for the benefit of the town of Bar
berton, Ohio, which he founded ten
years ago. One of them includes the
gift of a park of 200 acres, largely
of natural woodland. This park ad-
joins the grounds of the magnificent
estate which he is preparing to estab-
lish on the edge of the town. On the
park he will eXpend many thousands
of dollars, making the entire gift
worth about 100000.
Mr.. Barber is ready to begin the
erection of a mansion costing S12o,oOO
and this he intends to leave ut his
death for public hospital. The man
sion will also be surrounded by mag
nificent park of $50 acres. Mr.. Barber
has plans for a model residence sec
ton. which will provide homes for
hundreds of workingmen. These
houses will be just outside the public
and private park. both of which will be
devoted to pleasure grounds. He ex-
poets to devote the largest portion of
his fortune for the benefit of the town
bearing his name and its people.

An Entcrprising BOy,

The following is a story that is
vouched for by very good witnesses:
A poor boy at Harvard who was living
on cheese and crackers and dried beef,
received a crock of fresh butter from
home. This boy was not an imitator
but an originator. He sold the crock
of butter at good price, bought a
little good butter for himself, and sent
the remainder of the money home.
Then he took orders for more butter.
with the result that in few months
he had scores of customers, and the old
home farm was kept busy supplying
butter. The boy continued his studies,
delivering his butter, making his col
lections, and prospered. He finished
his course at Harvard, and when he
received his sheepskin he had a thou
sc1d butter customers, requiring four
wagons for the delivery of the goods,
and had built up such a reputation
that New York concern has recently
appointed him it's New England agent,
at fine salary.-American Boy.
