Speed Of 1923 Miles An Hour Determin
ed In an Experiment.

The French scientific weekly, Ciel e:
Terre, prints an interesting article
about the speed of several birds, as OBJ
served by August Vershcurin of Ant
werp. The rapidity of fight credited
to the swallow (290 feet second)
seemed exaggerated to him and he I'M
dartook some experiments on his cwn
hook
He sent several baskets of pigeons
TO Compeigne, France, and in a sepa
rate cage a swallow which had its
nest under the gable roof of the rail-
road station at Antwerp. On Novem
ber Z, at 1880 in the morning, all the
the swallow took a northern direction
as quick as lightning, while tho pig
cons made several spirals in the air
before they started in the same direc'
tion. The swallow arrived at its nest
in Antwerp at 1923, number Of wit.
nesses being present at its arrival.
The first pigeons only arrived at
their destination at 1880 of the same
morning. The swallow had, therefore,
covered the entire distance of 1i6h
miles in one hour and Is minutes,
which Is equal to speed Of 12Sk
miles an hour, or about 1S9 feet sec
ond, which is about double the speed
Of an express train.
The pigeons only reached a speed o!
50 miles an hour, or As feet second
It may be gathered from these figures
how rapidly the migrations OF the
given above 1t would require only hall
a day to fly from Belgium or Central
Germany to northern Africa
