Some Bio Flyers.

OF birds now In existence. probably
the one with the greatest expanse Of
wing in proportion to the body, and
with the greatest power of flight, is
the frigate or msn-o'-war bird. This
bird apparently flies more by skill
than by strength. for 1t has no great
carrying powers. The wandering alba.
tross, the largest of all sea birds, Is
also one OF our strongest fliers. One
bird was known to fly at least $3.50
miles in twelve days. This bird was
caught, tagged, released and caught
again.-From Mature and Science"

Linea 90 Of the Mikado.

Ancient though many European
royal houses may consider themselves.
none can beat the record Of the mika'
do. Mutsuhito is the one hundred and
twenty. second wearer OF the crown.
which his ancestors have borne with.
out interruption since the year 666
b. c. That Is to say. the founder Of
the dynasty was q contemporary Of
Nebuch adnezxar. Though one may not
be guilty Of the irhpoliteness OF cali
ing his pedigree in question. 1t is diff
ficult to believe that the mikado OF
1850 years ago was the son OF the
sun goddess. Possibly even the pres
ent occupant Of the throne has doubts
about 1t in private.

The Retort Courteous.

A well'known Judge tells a story
about the cross-examination of bad.
tenn cred woman In his court. She
was an Amazonian person. Her hus.
band obviously the weaker vessel, sat
sheepishly listening. The opposing
counsel pressed a certain question
rather urgently, and she said, angrily.
"You needn't think to catch me. You
tried that once before" The lawyer
said; Madam, have not the slight.

band looks as II he were sorry he
did"

The Strongest Soldiers.

From a recent English medical in.
quiry into the physical status Of the
various classes of military 1t was
found that the low-sized, broad chest.
ed artillery men were the strongest
and healthiest in the service. On the
other hand the tall men Of the Guards
had the disease tendencies Of the
overgrown and consumption and other
pulmonary troubles were noticeably
common. When narrow chested, the
men of the Guards and heavy cavalry
very soon broke down. Indeed. the
bulk of the medical evidence seemed
to show that the small, well-set men
the typical Atkinses--were the ideal
soldiers, though not so imposing or
martial-looking as the gigantic Guards.

HEATING Power Of Coal,

The heating power Of coal Ia meas.
ured by the amount of carbon con-
tanned in ton or pound. Anthra-
cite coal is found In many countries.
but 1t is only In the United States and
In England that the article is high
grade-92 per cent or better. Even
our coal differs widely In Its constitu.
tional elements. One kind holds more
ash than another. Still another va.
riety holds more clinkers, in spite OF
repeated burnings. The best coal
leaves no clinkers and makes very
little ash.

Topeka's eeoerap hical Position.

The capital city of Kansas occupies
peculiar place in American geoSra'

will show how nearly central is its
position. Topeka is as far from Quoi'

corner of the Union, as 1t is from the

The Dangers Of Fox Hunting.

Crowds go hunting" but few ride
to hounds, so statistics are absolutely
useless. or the thrusters-the ones
who come to grief least-are the
sportsmen who keep their eye on the
leading hound and try to land on his
tail every time. The golden rule is:
Throw your heart over first. and then
you and your horse and the leading
dog and the fox are certain to be in
the same field. 1t Is level money

Where Is the Finish.

According to the New York Herald
the latest cure for rheumatism is go.
ing without breakfast. AS the latest
cure for dyspepsia is going without
dinner, and the latest cure for sleep.
lessness is going without supper,
there is apparently nothing left
but to subsist on air. But then again
the scientist tells us that every time
we breathe we run the risk of swal.
lowing bloodthirsty bacilli, so that the
best thing, perhaps, all things consid,
cred, Is not to breathe at all.

Thinks Pecple Read Too Much.

In speaking of the danger from
libraries, DR.. Garfield, librarian of Co.
lumbia university, says: MANY per.
sons, even among those who give
their attention only to good books,
read too much. There Is vast
amount OF mental dyspepsia in the
land, particularly among women, who
constitute by far the larger part Of
the reading public. They should read
less and think more. Education and
the great increase in the number OF
public libraries are responsible for
the present tendency toward an over.
indulgence in the reading habit"
