THE SPEED OF BIRDS.

GeuefAl1y Abbo"Cos
II Won consult the usually accepted au-

exaggeration Of from 100 to 800 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 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 comparf.
son. He has heretofore been credited
with 10 miles an hour. but II IL now
agreed that be is entitled to 80. 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 Hy BY night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with q speed OF
from $50 TO 200 miles IN hour. IL they

overcome an atmospheric pressure OF
from 112 to 100 pounds to the square
foot of flying surface. There Is no GER
tainty that they Gy more rapidly than q
passenger pigeon or that they do not ny
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that Is indeed rapid
aier. has been credited with $50 miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to 10
miles, and the marten Is Eve miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten r.iles ahead.
The teal duck Is brought down from
40 to so miles M hour. The mallard Is
ave miles slower and flies the same as the
canvasback, while both OF these are hve
miles IN hour ahead Of the wild goose and
elder duck.
The pheasant makes 80 miles an hour.
which is three miles ahead Of the prairie
chicken and quail. though the latter ap.
pears to fy much faster on account OF
his temporary burst Of speed that seldom
exceeds 200 feet. The crow dies 70 miles
an hour. ,,
