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 best-known birds. They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him base of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
40 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
fer thew have been credited with
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
1870 pounds to the square foot of fly
ing surface. There is no certainty
that they fly more rapidly than pas
senger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the wa
ter. The swallow that is indeed
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 a
great change in that respect and is
continuing to do SO. 1t gives back
70 the land nothing in the shape OF
manure, and thus indirectly tends tc
make cultivation a little more ex,
penslye than it used to be. In spite
or all this, there is no reason to be.
leVe that agriculture is entering on
a period of depression. On the con.
trary, 1t is emerging steadily from the
guinness that has characterized it for
more than quarter of a century. The
present disappointment arises only
from the eXtravagant hopes raised in
the early part of the year. The
general record is one of steady i'm.
proyement; but whether prices 20 I'D
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 of
the soil. Yet it will be noticed that
there are very few farms to let, and
that land usually brings satisfactory
price in the market For this we have
to thank mainly that great crowd of
wheat consumers which has arisen in
the east and created a demand that
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 null.
Implications of auction marts, while
the telegraph and telephone enable
him to ascertain what demand there
is before he delivers his goods for
sale, so that much of the uncertainty
that formerly prevailed is eliminated.
Further, there is continuously going
on an increase in the number of con-
sumers and an improvement in the
standard of living, two influences
which in combination tend towards
the yielding Of a greater return by
food products.
