Rings his voice in thunder loud.

How Fast Do Birds FIys
From the st. Joseph News.

FROM the 81. Joseph News.
William w. Murphy, a locomotive
engineer on the Burlington's fast ex-
press between Hannibal and St Jo-
seph, has been making observations on
the speed of various birds and insects.
Many BIRDS he says, make a practice
of flying beside or in front of his en-
CINE, and when the weather is clear
and there is no wind he opens the
throttle and races with them.
He finds that chicken hawk and
crow can make twenty-five miles an
hour. A turkey buzzard flies at the
rate of twenty-one miles an hour. The
pigeon is one of the fastest birds in
the United States. 1t makes a speed
of forty-siX miles an hour with ease.
When chased by an eagle it can beat
the Burlington's st. Louis express.
The wild duck is travelling at the rate
of forty-four miles an hour while the
hunter is pumping the contents of q
repeating gun at it, The blackbird. rob-
in, dove and other small birds travel
at a speed of thirty-eight miles an
hour. The humming bird can, and does,
excel a speed of mile per minute
Murphy says that a honey bee, the
other day, flew in and out of his cab
window while he was going at the rate
of siXty-three miles an hour The per-
Torrance lasted while the engine trav-
eled a half mile.
