The democrats have thrown off their coats and gone into campaign work with a determination that shows they mean business. They hope to profit by the snarl in the republican camp and claim that instead of injuring them at the primaries the feeling stirred up by the three-cornered fight now on in the republican camp will be Of benefit to them. The plans include Parker and Davis banner in the sev- eral voting districts and some open air rallies with speakers who will have something to say which will interest the public and keep the opposition on the hustle trying to explain their con- duct

INDIAN JUGGLERY.
Wonderful Tricks of Hindoo Marvel,
Who Laughed at Death.

From the Johannesburg (TransYaaD Star.
When in India I made the acquaintance
of a juggler. who tried to instruct me in
all his tricks. He said that 1t was imagi-
nary on the part of the spectators, as he
simply willed that they should see those
things. Yet !. in common with western ma
tons. was too animalized. sensual, and ma
terialized. by flesh eating and consumption
of alcohol to retain or accept any deem
spiritual teaching. The most exciting per-
tormance that he gave for my amusement
was the converting OF bamboo stick into

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

From the Scientific American.
Flying. from the figures available may be
considered the easiest of all methods of
progression calling for less horse power
than any other. AS proof of this take
for example. the case of the storks which.
in their annual migrations, make a flight
between Budapest in Hungary and Lahore
in India. This. in airline, is perhaps 1850
to 2.+O miles. and the distance is accom-
pished in about twenty-four hours. with
out rest A horse driven in a sulky 100
miles In a long summer day is not far from
the limit of endurance Six hundred miles
in week is near the limit of man in
helI-and-toe walking. One thousand two
hundred miles is approaching the record of
the "go-as-you-please gait" Among wild
animals 100 miles is about much as can
be found in the records for twenty-f four
hours. but the bird weighing anywhere per-
haps up to twenty pounds makes the $500
miles in twenty-four hours with ease
and certainty twice in year. If the weight
Is put at ten pounds this equals twenty
five ton miles. On the lest and most level

The immense speed of many of our birds
when In ordinary flight, is another proof of
the small amount of power required
No animal. whatever its weight, 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 ar hour
upward, their weights all being under fif-
teen pounds. Parenthetically. 1t may be re-
marked that naturalists will give dimen-
sions of birds to an eighth of an inch. care
fully spreading their wings and arranging
the feathers, but II never occurs to them to
give weights. The eagle may weigh five to
fifty pounds, far the records show
Hunters rarely speak of the weight of birds.
though the weight of game is often esti-
mated, and the weight of fish given to the
nearest ounce.
The facts just given, when taken together
show pretty conclusively that the power
necessary for animal flight is extremely
small rather than very great. 1t also seems
to be proved that to fly successfully the
speed must be high.
