LESS POWER ( D
In Flying Than in Any Other Method
of Progression.


of Progression.
Scientific American: Flying, from tho
figures available, may be considered the
easiest OF all methods Of progression, call
ing for less horse power than any other.
As a proof of this take. for example. the
case OF the storks, which, in their annual
migrations, make a flight between Buda-
pest n Hungary and Lahore in India.
This, In airline, Is perhaps $500 TO 2,4Oe
miles, and the distance is accomplished in
about twenty-four hours. without a rest.
A horse driven in a sulky 100 miles In a
long summer day is not for from the limit
Of endurance. Six hundred miles in a
week Is near the limit OF a man in heel
and-toe walking. One thousand two hum
dred miles is approaching the record OF
the ''go-as-you-please gait" Among wild
animals 100 miles is about as much as
can be found in the records for twenty
four hours, but the bird weighing any
where perhaps up to twenty pounds
makes the $500 miles In twenty-four hours
with ease and certainly twice in a year.
If the weight Is put at ten pounds this
equals twenty-five ton miles. On the best
and most level railroad and with car
r.ages operating with the least friction, a
ten-pound animal would find IL difficult
to haul twenty-five tons one mile in TWEEN
ty-four hours. These. birds fly at great
heights, undoubtedly to reduce the resist
ance OF the air. There are many other
examples that might be given OF long dis
tances covered by heavy birds. showing
the small amount of power required in
fight. The immense speed of many of our
birds, when in ordinary flight, is another
proof of the small amount OF power re-
quired.
No animal, whatever it's weight. a bird
only excepted, can make any such speed
as ninety to one hundred miles an hour.
Among the birds there Is a long list OF
those whose speeds are from eighty miles
an hour upward. their weights all being
under fifteen pounds. Parenthetically, II
may be remarked that n~aturalists will
give dimensions Of birds 10 an eighth of
an inch, carefully spreading their wings
and arranging the feathers, but it never
osSaTs 40 them 10 give Weights. The eagle
may weigh five TO fifty pounds, so far as
the records show. Hunters rarely speak
OF the weight Of birds, though the weight
OF game Is often estimated, and the
weight OF fish given to the nearest ounce.
Tie facts just given, when taken to-
gether, show pretty conclusively that the
power necessary for animal flight is ex-
tremely small rather than very great. 1t
also seems to be proved that TO fly SUE
cessfully the speed must be high.

New York Times: The determination
of Health Commissioner Darlington to
enforce the provision of the sanitary
code which forbids the beating OF rugs
and carpets and the shaking OF dusty
fabrics from windows In any part OF
New York will no doubt be the subject
of much complaint from housewives
who find themselves committing mis-
demeanors in the performance OF the
usual functions of the spring house
cleaning.
However, the good citizen should re-
member that the public has some rights
Ii a matter OF this kind. and that one
inalienable right is invaded when ones
neighbours microbes are waited into
doors and windows by the vagrant
breeze. Rugs. carpets, pillows and the
like are favorite breeding grounds for
these unicellular creatures. and shak-
ing or beating their homes in the open
air OF back yards, on fire escapes or on
roofs Is perhaps the surest way of dis
seminating them over q neighborhood.
If the question is asked: What Is the
housekeeper who desires cleanliness to
do? the answer is easy or difficult ac-
cording TO her ability to avail herself
Of the facilities offered By those who
do housekeeping with scientsao nfpli-
ances and by approved methods. The
suggestion has been made hat for the
benefit of the poor the board Of health
provide carpet cleaning facilities as
they have steriiizing facilities for In
fected bedding and clothing, doing the
work gratuitousiy or for a nominal
charge. This is worth thinking Of.
Dirty carpets are constructively infect
ed. at least, and IL they cannot be
cleaned In the only way within the
means OF the housekeeper they viii be
left dirty and q source of increasing
danger to all who live on them.
