Storks Swift Travellers.

Baltimore Sun. There are certain spe-
cies Vf ducks that are given the credit by
naturalsts Of being the ~fieetest of winged
creatures. Recently, however, it has been
ascertained that the learned men were in
error and the stork is found to far out
strip all denizens of the air In speed. After
an exhaustive survey of the field it is now
declared that no living thing, not even a,
scared jack rabbit, can travel with the
speed displayed by such birds as the stork
and the northern bluethroat. Not only do
these birds fly with a speed that can
hardly be conceived. but they keep up
their rapid flight for 1000 or 1900 miles
at a stretch without apparently firing.
Evidence has been collected recently
which shows tina, the bluethroat flies from
central Africa to the shores of the North
| sea, a distance of 800 miles, in less than
a day and a night, and making IL, more
over, In one uninterrupted flight. The
storks which spend their summers in Aus
tr.a-HungaTy and their winters In India
and central Africa, are also marvellous
travellers and make their journeys twice
a year In unbroken fight each time. From
Budapest, In Hungary, to Lahore, In In
dia, Is about 2,400 miles In an air lire, and
the storks make the journey In twenty
four hours, thus travelling at the rate OF
100 miles an hour for the whole distance.
The storks which spend the summer in
central Europe and winter In central
Africa. travel with the same rapidity.

Our TASTE for Chocolate.

Harper's Weekly: The taste Of the
people of the United States for cacao
and chocolate appears to be developing
with rapidity. Figures compiled by
the department of commerce and labor
show that the importation OF cacao has
grown from nine million pounds in
1883 TO twenty-four million pounds in
1893, and sixty million pounds In 1903.
Cacao, as is we'll understood, is the
product of the cacao tree, which grows
wild in tropical America, and is also
much cultivated there, and to some
tent in Asia and Africa. The fruit of
this tree, a pear-shaped pod from five
to ten inches in length. contains num-
erous large seeds from which the choc-
olate of commerce is produced, while
the shells are also utilized for the de-
coction known as cacao, or cocoa, used
as a substitute for tea or coffee. 1t is
the crude cacao, leaves and shells,
which form the large and rapidly
growing importation above referred to,
which has increased from nine million
pounds in 1888 TO sixty-three million
pounds in 1903. The value OF impor-
tations OF cacao in this crude form has
grown from n million dollars In 1888
to fou million dollars In 1893, and
nearly eight million dollars In 1903.
