wildcat has tail from five 70 six inches long.

HOW THE STORMY PETREL FLIES.
A naturalist visiting Algeria bought from
sailor four captive stormy petrels. They weighed
about l65 pounds apiece. their wings We're five
inches wide and had spread OF four feet The
ability of the petrol TO breast the most furious
storms has been universally admired It's name
IS derived from its power of walking on the
waves, like the Apostle Peter and its courage
and strength in planting it's footsteps on the
crests Of the most tempestuous sea, have given a
text TO many writer's. The naturalist wishing TO
release his captive petrels, threw one Of them
into the air. It tried to fly but fell headlong,
went crashing against stone wall and battered
out its brains He took the second petrol to an
upper story and launched It from window, but,
having initial velocity il. too fell like stone
The third bird he took to the top Of an observa-
tory, and pushed it out into space Ii tapped its
wings desperately but nevertheless lunged down
ward and broke its wings against a post
The naturalist now convinced that the
stormy petrels feats at sea are made possible
because il first gets up momentum by running
along the top of the water. Wishing to give the
remaining bird chance to demonstrate his
theory he took it out into a desertlke plain bare
of grass, smooth as the surface Of a calm sea.
Here" the naturalist reports 4 set my fourth
petrol down. II squatted at first and then turned
with its beak to the wind and its wings out
stretched. and started running. beating its
wings, not hampered by any herbage 1t ran
hundred yards carrying its weight less and less
on its feet, and finally all on its wings, but all
the time skimming the ground At last with
single bound. catching the wind. the petrol rose

overhead and glanced at me on its way. as IF TO
