FsArHERs ARE AIR ENoINEa
How Birds Weighted with Prey Re.

How Birds Weighted with Prey Re.
 main Motionless 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 un- explained.
 J. Lancaster, who has devoted fif- teen years to finding an explanation for this apparent violation of physical law, making experiments from cliff 1000 feet high in Colorado, wtere yellow-tailed hawks are numerous, found that after forest fire soot 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 impervious 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 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-flfth 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, 50 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- ous. 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"

Lawsuit Proves, Windfall.

Two orphans of Cairo have just come into fortune of $150,000 in a singular way. They are the two sons of a Tunisian named Bousnach, whose fath CT brought an action against the late Bey of Tunis, claiming heavy dam ages for wrongs suffered by him. This was forty years ago, when the Bey of Tunis was an unmitigated Oriental despot, and the suit failed, as it was bound to do. The claimant died. and his son emigrated to Egypt, where he in turn died, leaving two sons. A short time ago, under the more equita. be regime of the French administra. ton, the suit was revived and brought to successful issue, the Court of Alp. peals at Ak reversing the old decis. ion and awarding the orphans the $15OOOO damages claimed by their grandfather.

Doing Ones Duty.

Let us do our duty in our shop or our kitchen, the market, the street. the office, the school, the home, just as- faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle and we knew that victory for mankind depended on our bravery, strength and skill. When we do that the humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the eworld.-Theodore Parker

JUST BREATHE.
When Worn Out Don't Take a Stimu-
 lanti lust Breathe.

Don't take stimulant; just breathe. This is the advice of doctor who does not believe in the old medical policy of mystery, but who undertakes philosophically to explain to any pa- tient why such and such remedy should be beneficial, says the Phila- delphia Telegraph.
 "When you are let down." contin- ued this physician, don't take cock tail just breathe. Put your finger on your pulse and get it's rhythm. Dur ing eight beats draw in the breath, breathing deep and low and forcing the diaphragm down first, then filling the upper lungs. Then exhale this breath during four beats of the pulse,
 "Now, if you are working with q piece of machinery, say typewriter, what do you do to make it run more smoothly? You don't put lot more oil on it and gum and clog it all up. You clean it first. You can best clean the blood by breathing. The blood passes through the lungs, and it needs and expects to find plenty of fresh air with oxygen in it. If it can't find per fectly fresh air it needs more air which is not perfectly fresh. It needs to be cleaned by contact with rhe air.
 "Once in a while hold the lungs full of breath as long as you can without expulsion. In doing this you are sim ply cleaning the machine. You are cleaning the blood. At the same time you are giving that little tillip to the action of the heart and the nervous system which you thought you were giving when you took the cocktail. In the latter c-se you didn't clean the machine. You simply van it little faster and gummed it up little more. You can get the same results, the same feeling of eXhilaration and of accom- plishment, without taking the cock tail, and at the same time the machine will steadily improve in it's running quality Breathe the best air you can get and plenty of it. It is as necessary as food. The heart and lungs act in voluntarily. In hurried business life they become too involuntary. In that case don't take cocktail just breathe"

Lost at tho Last Place.

The absent-minded man and his um. brella continue to promote the gaiety of nations. They figure entertainingly in an article in German magazine on Prof. Max vop Pettenkofer, who has been called the founder of scien. tiic hygiene.
 The professors absent-mindednes had no narrow or restricted range; 1t covered everything; but umbrellas seemed to be his speciality. He lost a fortune in umbrellas, for he seldom came back with what he had taken away.
 Once, however, he made a trip as far as England, and was very proud of having actually succeeded in bringing back his umbrella to Germany. At Augsburg he stopped on business, but sent a telegram saying:
 At 6 o'clock return with my um- brella."
 He did return at 6 o'clock, but as he entered his house at Munich he saw to his dismay that he had no umbrella. He had left it at the telegraph office.

Wool for the Lambs.

A lady had rather the worst of aL encounter of wits recently with little colored girl whom she employed to as- sist in the houscwork.
 The girl had her hair, which curled even more tightly than usual, in the style commonly called "kinky." After watching the girl cleaning the front steps for while the lady asked:
 "Mary, what makes your hair so kinky
 Desisting from her occupation and stepping back couple of paces, the girl placed a hand on either hip and, throwing back her head with the most defiant air, replied in a drawling tone {:
 God gave all dogs hair, but to his lambs he gave wool"
 The lady beat nasty retreat into the house. The girl, after retaining her attitude of challenge until no fur ther interrogatories seemed coming re- sumed her occupation.

A University Fund.

President Hadley of Yale University recently established a fund of $1,000, being the money received by him for giving the Dodge lectures at Yale last year, less certain expenses. This fund is to be held by the treasurer of Yale under the condition that it may be drawn upon for university uses at the discretion of the president, says the New York Tribune. It is planned by the president to add to this amount any sums he may receive from the university while president for deliver ing lectures or for other services over and above his regular salary.

Everyday Swindlers.

'There 1t goes again." said the troll ley conductor as he rang the bell to let off a passenger who had only rid den for square.
 You'd be astonished," continued the knight of the bell strap, ''to know how many people try to beat the trol- ley for free ride when they want to make call square or two away from home.
 "They hop on the car, wait till it has started and then want to know if the car doesn't go to some place which they know it doesn't come within a mile of. In this way they get their ride for nothing and go on their way in the belief that they have fooled the conductor."- Philadelphia Press.

"Have you ever paused to reflect, Mir. Naggsby," said the new minister, "that it is only matter of time until we must all join the silent majority?"
 "No, parson can't say that I ever thought of it in that light" replied Naggsby. "But now that you have in- troduced the subject I wish you would speak to my wife about it and try to impress on her mind that she ought to begin practicing silence while here on earth"

"Ah, yes, they need a father"
 The pretty widow said; She looked down at her children, And sadly shook her head. She stood before the altar,

Those of 0rsenland's East coast Again
 in Touch with Civilization.
 The EskimOs of the east coast of Greenland have been reunited to tho world, after having forgotten, perhaps for many years, the little they ever knew of it. says the Philadelphia Pub. lie Ledger. The Danish supply steam. ship Godthaab has returned to Copen- hagen from visit to Angmagsalik, station established by the government for the purpose of improving the con- dition of the Greenland natives and developing trade with them. It is an interesting enterprise, because Den marks dealings with aboriginals are humanizing and philanthropic, and the material it had to deal with here was in its natural condition.
 As far as is known, the natives of Greenland's east coast had never come into contact with the white race until twenty years ago. when they were dis covered by Capt. Holm, Danish ex- plorer. It was six years later before anything more than fragmentary infor- nation about them was given out, and then Denmark published a sumptuous work in three volumes devoted to the people and their habitat. Probably no other book so exhaustive and costly has ever been printed about handful of primitive people. They numbered only 54S when they were discovered.
 The supply steamship reports at Copenhagen that the East Greenland station is in thriving condition. It has simply transformed the life of the na- tives. They have knives, timber, metal points for their harpoons and a hun dred comforts and conveniences they never knew before. The Danish gov ernment buys their oils, furs, skins and feathers. The station takes every thing they have to sell in exchange for the commodities they require.
 A way has been found around the glaciers jutting out into the sea which so long barred attempts to travel around the south end of Greenland. A few parties have made sledge jour- neys to the Eskimo settlements of the west coast, and some of them have set tied there. They have never heard of spirituous liquors.
 They are pure-blood Eskimos, the only unmixed natives in Greenland, ex- cepting in the Smith sound region; but their features are thinner and longer than those of other Eskimos, and they are a little taller than those of the west coast. They have the dimmest tradition that their fathers came from the north, and considerable evidence has accumulated pointing to the prob. ability that they are the descendants of natives who reached northwest Greenland from the archipelago north of our continent and then skirted tho north and east coasts of Greenland to their present abode.
