SWALLOWS FLIGHT IS RAPID.
Speed Of 1913 Miles An Hour Oeternin-

The French scientific weekly. Ciel ct

about the speed OF seyeral birds. as OBJ
served by August Nershcurin OF Ant

TO the swallow (29O feet a second)
seemed exaggerated to him and he IN

rate cage a swallow which had it's
nest under the gable roof of the rail-
road station at Antwerp. On Novem-
Der Z. at 1880 in the morning. all the
birds were liberated at Compeigne;
the swallow took a northern direction
as quick as lightning, while the pig
cons made several spirals in tie air
before they started in the same direc-
uon. The swallow arrived at it's nest
IN Antwerp at 1923, a number of wit

The first pigeons only arrived at

covered the entire distance of 14GIh
Hlles IN one hour and IS minutes,
which is equal to a speed of 12S1h
miles an hour, or about 1S9 feet a sec
ond, which is about double the speed
Of an express train.
The pigeons only reached a speed of
80 miles an hour. or As feet a second.
II may be gathered from these figures
how rapidly the migrations of the
swallows take place. as with the speed
given above it would require only half
a day to fly from Belgium or Central
Germany to northern Africa.

Had LAUGH on Doctor.

An anecdote of Leo. XIII is recall
ed in a Turin journal by Count CHS
polti. apropos of the death of DR..
Lapponi, who was the pope's private
physician. One day it was impera-
tive for Leo to give a long audience.
but he had a bad cold. and to miti-
gate it the doctor gave him a box
of tablets with the request to take
one every now and then. After a
while Lapponi, who remained in a
distant corner of the hall, noticed
that the pope did not follow his di-
rections. so to call his attention to
them, he began to hem and cough.
Presently the pope said to an at
tendant: Tell the doctor to come
to me-" These words caused some
anxiety, but when Lapponi FASTENED
to his side, the pope took the medi-
cine from his pocket and handing the
box to him, said: Doctor. l noticed
you were hoarse; won't you take
some of these tablets?"

WATCHES FOR THE BLIND.
Simple Invention That is Great Boon
to SightIess Mortals.

The blind, like other mortals, wish
TO know the time exactly. and as very
few of them are in a position TO Sc
cure a good repeating watch. whose
cost is always great. they have to be
content with ordinary watches. and
taking the crystal out of the face they
ascertain the time by the angles and
position of the hands. which frequent
ly causes disarrangement of the time
piece.
In view of these difficulties a for
eign firm has constructed a watch
for the blind. which represents the
figures in allegorical manner, and ap-
parently is very convenient The
signs in relief are the following: One
o'clock, one dot; two o'clock, two
dots; three o'clock, a triangle; four
o'clock, a square; five O'Clock, five
pointed star; six o'clock, an elipse.
These same signs are repeated in
bas-relief representing the hours from
six to IL. The number of signs is
therefore limited to six, and it is very
easy to ascertain from them the time
OF day. The hands are very strong
and the watch has been used with
good results.
Another watch for the blind has
been invented by M. Pierre Tissot-
Bersof, by which the blind can tell
not only the hour, but also the minute.
The hours are represented by figures
of the Braille system.

A Prolectile Camera.

A projectile to take photographs,
and claimed to have been successful
at heights up to half mile, is the
idea of Herr Marie, q German photog-
rapher. A camera having the form
of the usual conoidal shell, Is thrown
into the air by means of a kind of
trap At q predetermined angle, as the
camera turns to make its descent and
is pointed slightly downward, the
shutter is automatically released and
the picture is taken of a broad ex-
panse of country. In still air the
flight and spot at which the aerial
camera will fall can be calculated
with much precision. Precautions
are taken to avoid damage by concus-
sion, and the results are expected to
be Of great possible value in military
operations.

SEA FISH IN FRESH WATER.
Experiment Tried in Germany Proves
Marked Success.

Marked Success.
An interesting experiment that may
nave farreaching results has Just been
brought to a successful termination in
Germany. It has been proved beyond
question that deep sea fish can be &C.
climated and will live and breed in
fresh water.
A number OF different kinds of fish
were taken from the sea. including
whiting, herring. sole and founders.
and placed in pool of salt water. The
percentage of salt was then gradually
lessened by the addition of fresh wa
ter until finally no salt remained.
Practically no material difference
took place in the fish, which were as
lively as when they were taken out of
the sea.
So encouraging has been the result
after a test extending over several
months that deep sea fish are now be-
ing introduced into rivers and fresh
water lakes in various parts of Ger
many. What changes may take place
in the nature and habits of the fish
remain as yet to be seen, as does also
the question of their market value.
The complete success of this expert
ment will completely change the fish
ing industry and will prove an especial
boon to communities far removed from
the seaboard An American who has
lived for any length of time in the
middle West. where he is equally re-
mote from both the Atlantic and Pa.
cific, knows how greatly deep sea fish
are missed as a part of ones diet.
