4 u ton birds evince a surprising inclination
to act seed carriers in various quarters of the

Two centuries ago the Dutch destroyed every
nutmeg tree in the Moluccas in order to enjoy a
monopoly of the business, having planted the trees
in their own possessions. In spite of their most
earnest efforts however the islands constantly
being restocked. For long time the thing was a
mystery, but at length it solved.

None of the great inventions of man COM
pare in rapidity of travel with that of birds.
That solitary cruiser of the deep. the frigate
bird, cross the Atlantic Ocean, distance of
two thousand miles, in single night The
derful bird must travel at the average speed of at
least one hundred and fifty miles hour, feat far
surprising any automobile or locomotive that has
yet been built. Fast express trains often reach and
maintain the speed of ninety miles hour for short
distances but the velocity of these greyhounds of
the rail is eclpsed by the common chimney swallow,
which sometimes for hours maintains average
speed of from ninety to hundred miles an hour.
The Fastest Living Thing
nROBABLY the swiftest of all living things
+ is the black swift small bird which has
been known to travel two hundred and seventy-six
miles in hour, over twice fast the auto
mobile would have gone could it have maintained
for hour the speed of its record of about
two miles minute at Or1nond Beach.
The rapidity of the flight of birds is very decep-
tive, and the average person usually underestimate
their speed. asked ten persons how fast they
thought crows flew, and six of them said about ten
miles an hour, and the remaining four about five.
In reality the travels from twenty-five to
