midnight it is at its largest point Of

The fact is both these birds do

they only devour the stingless drones

the SECRET OF SOARING.
A Naturalist claIme 60 Have plseov-
cred II at Last

The power Of the condor, the hawk,
the vulture and some other birds, to
soar without single motion of the
wings for hours at time has never
been satisfactorily explained An
English naturalist, Mr.. ]. Lancaster,
claims to have discovered the secret
and by accident. He had been study
ing the subject for 10 years without
arriving at conclusion, when the
killing Of yellow-tailed hawk on
the Flat Top Mountains of Colorado
gave him the solution. A furious for
est fire had been raging in that region
and had filled the air with smoke and
ashes. While he was examining the
hawks feathers he noticed a pc
euliar stain on the sides of the quill
between the spiculeS.
Examination with a powerful Micro
scope showed that the stain extended
along each spicule between the plates.
The dOwny fllaments filling the
double wall-structure of the wings had
the same discoloration. He scraped
OFF the stain, and found that II re
sembled SCOT from a stove-pipe, which
showed that the smoke-1lled air had
been going through the wings in an in
cessant stream, carrying the carbon
PARTICLES with it,
Here was the secret Of soaring re
veRled to him A feather is an air,
engine consisting of a quill and two
vanes. made of spicules. between
which are the plates. The spicules
make a channel about one-fortieth Of
an inch in width, and the plates cross
1t. There are about one thousand
OF them to the inch. and thoy are 10
Gated at the outer surface, filing
about one.hfth part of the depth of
the channel. About nineteen-twen-
tieths of the space of the channels is
open to the passage of air.
The mechanical service of the
plates, he says, Is obvious. The
curve impinges against the air-cur-
rent through the feathers and drives
the bird to the front. Pressure pro
duced by the normal factor of weight
is thus made to serve as the motive
power of flight
