From Immense HEIGHTS.

"It is strange that many birds
can rise as high as 10000 feet,
and at such immense heights sus-
tain great muscular exertions for
an indefinite PERIOD" says nat
uralist. "From that appalling dis
tance they swoop down in differ
ent styles. Ringdoves and wood
cock often precipitate themselves
with the rushing noise of rocket.
Doves break their descent at a
considerable distance from the
ground, but snipe rush down with
iD two or three feet of the surface.
and continue in a rowing course
at very low elevation above it.
Sometimes, with undiminished
velocity, they sweep down thou
sands of feet to the base of a cliff,
and when an observer goes to see
how many pieces the snipe have
dashed themselves into, he finds
them sitting on stone as quietly
as if they had never been OF the
move" -.---
