"HERE are certain species of ducks
that are given the credit by
naturalists of being the fleetest
Of winged creatures. Recently. how
ever. II has been ascertained that the
learned men were in error, and the
stork Is found to far outstrip all deni-
zens Of the air in speed. After an ex-
haustive survey of the field it is now
declared that no living thing, not even
a scared jack-rabbit, can ravel with
the speed displayed by such birds as
the stork and the northern bluethroat.
Not only do these birds fly with a
speed that can hardly be conceived,
but they keep up their rapid fight for
1000 or 1000 miles at a stretch with
out apparent firing.
'Evidence has been collected recently
which shows that the bluetllroat flies
from central Africa to the shores OF
the North sea, a distance of 1000 miles,
in less than a day and a night. and
making it, moreover, in II unlnter-
rupted flight. The storks which spend
their in Austria-H Hungary and
their winters In India and central
Africa are also marvellous ira velers
n make their journeys twice a year
In unbroken flight each time. From
Budapest, in Hungary, to Lahore, in
India. is about 2.400 miles in an air
line. and the storks make the journey
in twenty-four hours, thus travelling at
the rate of 100 miles an hour for the
whole distance. The storks which spend
the summer in central Europe and yin
ter in central Africa travel with the
same rapidity.-Baltimore Sun.

CROWDS FLOCK TO SEE
CURTISS AEROPLANE.
Machine Exhibited at Bamber-
gers Almost Ready for Flight.

The full-sized, marketable aeroplane
of the Glenn Curtiss type. which is
now On exhibition on the fifth floor of
Bamberger's department store. is daily
drawing crowds numbering fully 5000
persons to see it and to hear it's intri-
cacies explained by John c. B. Storrs.
a member of h New York Aeronautic
Society. The machine Is an exact
duplicate of the machine used by
Curtiss in his flight yesterday, with the
exception of one or two negligible de-
tails. \The marketable value of the
machine Is said to be $500.
The machine. the second made on the
present model. could be gotten into
flying condition in twenty-four hours.
1t has yet to make its maiden trip, but
as it Is of sturdy build, and as the
materials are of the best its sponsors
have no doubt of its ability to fly.
The machine will remain on exhibit
tion in the store for n week after
this.

State has Just finished. He has
the honor of being the first to
take possession of his quarters in

big rooms and file room that IS
big enough to store half the re-
cords of all the departments Of
the State.
As'the new desks for DR.. Bru-

he had to move over his old desks.
This means that the new Capt.

arrived. but it is a question Of
only a few days until all the de-
partments can move.
The officers can move their
Office forces. but the records of
the State will have to be moved
before it is practicable for the
whole State Government to be
conducted from the new building.
The moving Of the records will re-
auire time and it may be Septem-

ditor leave the old State building.
