TRAVELLING SPEED OF BIRDS
Their Flight Now Known to Be Much
Slower Than Has Been Gen.
orally Supposed.

A writer on birds says: IF you
consult the usually accepted authori-
ties on the speed of birds in their
flight you are likely to be misled by
an exaggeration of from 100 to 300
per cent. This is because figures
have been given on hearsay, appear
ance and very superficial observation.
But recently American. English and
French observers have been compar-
ing notes. and are practically agreed,
after most careful calculation, on the
speed of the bestknown birds. They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him base of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
10 miles an hour, but it is now
agreed that he is entitled to so. A
long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland
islands to London, showed that the
most rapid pigeons made 81 miles an
hour On shorter distances none
made more than so miles. Because
frigate birds have been seen far from
land, and have been supposed not
to fly by night or to rest on the wa
ter, they have been credited with a
speed of from $50 to 200 miles an
hour If they did fly at that speed
they would have to overcome an at
mospheric pressure of from 112 to
13O pounds to the square foot of fly
ing surface. There is no certainty
that they fly more rapidly than a pas
senger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the wa
ter. The swallow that is indeed a
rapid flyer, has been credited with
$50 miles an hour. but he must be
cut down to 65 miles, and the martin
is five miles behind him. though au-
thorities have placed him ten ahead"

in town to the agricultural districts.
The motor has already effected 3
great change in that respect and is
continuing to do SO. 1t gives bach
to the land nothing in the shape o.
manure, and thus indirectly tends tc
make cultivation little more ex
pensive than it used to be. In spite
of all this, there is no reason to be
lieve that agriculture is entering on
a period of depression. On the con
trary, it is emerging steadily from the
dullness that has characterized IT fol
more than quarter of a century. The
present disappointment arises only
from the extravagant hopes raised IL
the early part of the year. The
general record is one of steady i'm
provement; but whether prices go up
or down in climate such as ours, an
occasional bad season will always
have to be reckoned with. The pres
ent year, taking it altogether, has
been unfavorable to the cultivation o,
the soil Yet it will be noticed tina
there are very few farms to let, and
that land usually brings satisfactory

to thank mainly that great crowd
wheat consumers which has arisen in
the east and created demand tha
the supply does no more than satisfy
at present and that is continually
growing. The sale of the farmers
produce. too. can be effected in less
expensive manner, thanks to the mul
tiplications of auction marts, while
the telegraph and telephone enable
him to ascertain what demand there

tnat formerly prevailed Is eliminated

sometimes take on a very materials

One day she went into the Office OF

him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.
