Swift Wings.


1t is difficult to account for the enor
nous velocity of some birds flight
when migra ting. The northern blue
thrOst goes at the rate Of $40 miles an
hour, flying 4,80O miles from Egypt to
Helgoland in spring night of barely
nine hours. Virginian plover fly from
Labrador to north Brazil, $500 miles,
without stopping, going at the rate of
636 miles an hour and probably more.
How can this speed be attained? The
birds resort to great heights, where the
resistance of the air is slight.
Climbing Animals.
Dogs often have to be trained to
climb stairs, instinctively distrusting
the upper stories. 1t has been conjec
tured that this is because the dogs
forelegs break easily below the Shoul-
der, and. the beast seems to realize this.
The fox has no such fear and has been
known to climb tree with plenty Of
small limbs to the height of seventeen
feet. Swimming comes easier than
climbing TO most animals as well as tC
many races Of men. Rats and guinea
pigs can swim well and do not climb at
all.
Bears can climb we'll if little, but the
grizzly and other large species stay
mainly on the ground. A bear always
climbs down a tree backward, as does
the domestic cat until she has nearly
reached the ground, when she turns
and jumps, but most wild cats run
down trunk head first, even the heavy
leopard being a more skillful cli1nber
than the light house cat. The tiger
and lion. however, do not climb. for no
discoverable reason unless ii be that
they fear falling on account OF th"i:
weight,
