BIRDS CROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Some of Them Can Make Trip An
Less than Nine Hours.


Less than Nine Hours.
The presence OF American birds In
this country raises the interesting
question, How do they cross the Inter
vening 1000 miles of ocean? Can we,
suppose bird Is capable Of sustained
flight for a sufficiently long period to
accomplish this? On the suppositioD
that the yellow shank can fly at the
rate of 100 miles an hour it would ac-
complish the distance In fourteen
hours. And then 1t must be remem-
bered that this bird, being a wader.

by birds In their migratory journeys

Virginia plover. At the last rate the
Atlantic could be crossed In about eight
and three-quarter hours. Some six 9TH
er American birds, including the red
crested snipe and Eskimo curlew, ara
recorded from the Sicily Islands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-bllled cuckoo, have been record
ed In Ireland. And in connection with
this crossing of the Atlantic by Amer
lean birds 1t is interesting to note an
apparent attempt to cross In the oppo-
site direction. In British association

HEBBLE HOME WAS

Beautiful Residence Near East
Germantown Burned to

The beautiful frame dwelling of A. L.
Hebble. a mile and a half northeast OF
East Germantown. burned to the
ground about o'clock Sunday after
noon. despite the vigorous efforts on
the part of Mr. Hebble to save his
property. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000. Mr.. Hebble had about
So. 500 insurance on all of his farm
buildings. and it is stated that the in
surance on the house amounted TO
about 5000.
Mr.. and Mrs Hebble were away from
home Sunday and before leaving Mr..
Hebble built a big wood fire in the fur
mace. 1t is thought the blaze origi-
mated from sparks falling from the
chimney onto the roof Mr. and Mrs.
Hebble returned home about 4:3o
oclock and shortly after their return
it was noticed that the roof was

Made Fight Unassisted.
Mr.. Hebble carried several buckets of
water to the roof and began to fight
the blaze He was the only man on the
farm and he had to make the fight un-
assisted Mr. Hebble would probably
have succeeded in saving the home
from total destruction had it not been
for the high wind which famed the
blaze beyond his control Fortunate
ly the wind did not blow in the direc-
ton of the barn and other farm build
ings. or they also would have been de-
stroyed.
Some Goods Saved.
By the time Mr. Hebble realized that
he could not check the fire, neighbors
began TO arrive and under the super
vision of Mr. Hebble the work of say
ing the household goods on the first
floor was successfully carried out. All
the property on the first floor OF the
house, including a piano. was saved,
but none of the household goods on the
second floor could be removed.
The Hebble home was rebuilt about
three years ago. and was one Of the
finest country homesteads in the coun-
tx. having all modern Improvements.
Mr.. Hebble probably will rebuild his
home this spring.
