K,wt the Oldest of Birds.

In New Zealand is found the klWl'
a strange bird of the ostrich family.
Ostriches have two toes, but the ex-
tinct moas had three toes, so also have
the existing emus, cassoWarles ana
rheas or South American ostrlcnes.
The kiwi, however, differs from the
other struthious birds in having -FOUR
toes. Further, the kiwi cannot De sald
to be quite ostrichlike, for in size 1t ls
not larger than an ordinary barnyard
fowl, 1t has a small head, with a large
and muscular neck and a long, slender
BILL with the distinguishing feature
that the nostrils are placed close to It's
tip The legs are short, but the mus
cles or the thighs are well developed
and the feet are strong and powerful
and provided with sharp claws.
The kiwi is bird devoid of any ex-
ternal trace of wings, and there is no
trace of tail visible, while it is cover
ed with long, narrow, hairlike feathers,
and on the fore part of the head and
sides of the face are struggling hair
like feelers.

FEATHERS ARE AIR ENGINES.

How Birds Weighted with Prey Re-
main Motion1ess in Air for Hours.
The soaring flight of birds, like the
condor and frigate bird, which remain
suspended in the air for hours, even
when weighted with prey, and with
out a single movement of their out
stretched wings, has hitherto been I'M
explained.
j. Lancaster, who has devoted ff-
teen years to finding an explanation
for this apparent violation of physical
law, making experiments from cliff
1000 feet high in Colorado, where
yellow-tailed hawks are numerous,
found that after a forest fire SCOT was
found on a hawks quill between the
spicules. This deposit showed the di-
rection of air currents through the
wing. Writing of his discovery in the
London Engineer, he says:
"What is a feather? It is an air
engine and the bird surfaces are made
of them. They have been looked on as
a light, flexible material for making an
extended surface imperyious to air,
that would readily fold upon itself, and
their exquisite mechanical structure
has been overlooked. They consist of
quill and two vanes made of spicules,
between which are the plates The
plats cross a channel about one-forti-
eth of an inch wide, made by the spi-
culeS. There are about 1000 of them
to the inch, being practically innumer-
able, and they are located at the outer
surface, filling about one-fifth part Of
the depth of the channel They are
about the twenty thousandth part of
an inch thick, as nearly as an amateur
with the microscope could deetrmine
so that nineteen-tWentieths of the
space Of the channels is open to the
passage of air. They are beautifully
curved at their. outer edges. The me-
chanical service of the plates is obvi-
Gus. The curve impinges against the
air current through the feathers and
drives the bird to the front. Pressure
produced by the normal factor of
weight is thus made to serve as the
motive power of flight"

SLAv RESERVES IN BATTLE.

Soldiers on way to seat or " ar AOOC
Smolensk and Engage Regulars.
Two hundred Russian reservists, on
their way to the far East, were killed
and hundreds wounded in a battle with
the local garrison at Smolensk, Russia.
AS a result, six officers committed sui
eide.
Peservists, to the number of 5000,
We're moving on to the seat of war, when
the train stopped at SmOlensk. They inn
mediately started to plumber the town.
They broke into homes, stole provisions
and whatever they could find in the way
of valuables. Townspeople formed mobs
and tried to stop the onslaught of the
soldiers, and riots followed.
The Governor, seeing the local police
were helpless to restore order, called
out the local garrison. The soldiers at
tackled the reservists with q rush. Wild
fighting between the two forces followed.
Before the reservists were conquered,
200 were killed outright, and several
hundred wounded. The colonel command
ing the reservists and FIVE of his officers,
who had been unable to prevent the out
break, committed suicide from shame.
The battle ragged several hours. The
streets were filled with a mob of excited
people, who were afraid to take part in
the conflict either way. The soldiers from
the garrison, called suddenly from the
post, marched into the city in double
quick step. The reservists prepared for
the attack, and when the Cars regular
men charged, they We're met with stern
resistance Driven back, they renewed
their onslaught, and their superior num-
bers. after several of these movements,
bore down on the reservists, and the lat
ter fell back. When the line fell back
the ground was strewn with dead, dying
and injured men. The shattered body of
reservists was ordered back on the train,
and the journey to the far East resumed.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T,
A Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.

a Lot OF Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.
A little boy Of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and aft
ter the operation the doctor, knowing
that his intestinal digestion was very
weak, put him ON Grape Nuts twice
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his father states,
HE has grown to be strong, muscu-
lar, and sleeps soundly, weighs 81
pounds, and his whole system is in
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period
in his life, and kept from the use of
foods that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels.
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes. SET
ting up a diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts OF wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centers.

out danger to their lives, assemble to

eminent. Considering the volume of

tions, the marvel is that the necessary

One of the most serious problems
before Congress is the question What'
If anything, can be done to regulate
the operations Of great corporations
for the protection of the public with
out interfering with the legitimate de-
velopment of capital or coming into
collision with the reserved rights or
the States under the constitution. Com
missioner James r. Garfield of the Bu-
reau Of Corporations, in his first annu-
ID report, recommends the adoption of
a system under which all corporations
which do an interstate business should
be required to have a national fran
chise or license. He would make con-
formity with all necessary require
ments regarding corporate organization
and management a condition to the
grant of such a license, and the max
ing of all required reports and returns
a condition to it's retention, and would
shut out from interstate and foreign
commerce all corporations which did
not hold such a license. He argues
that some such system as this is need
ed to correct existing abuses arising
from the practice of chartering cor
porations in States whose laws are lax
to carry on business in other States to
the laws Of which they cannot be held
accountable because of their incorpora-
ton elsewhere
