st. Joseph, has been making ob.
servations ON the speed Of various
birds and insects, says the st. JOS
eph News. Many birds. he says,
make 4 practice of flying beside or
in front of his engine, and when tue
weather is clear and there is no vino
lie opens bis throttle and races with
chem.
He finds that 4 chicken hawk and
a 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.
It makes = speed of forty six miles
an hour with ease. When chased
by an eagle it can beat the Burling-
toms 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 a
repeating gun at it. The blackbird, !,
robin, dove and other small birds
travel at a speed Of thirty-e eight
miles an hour. The bulnming bird
can and does excel a speed OF .
mile a minute. Murphy says that
a honey bee the other day flew in
