The Speed Of a Swallow.
From Harper's Weekly.

IIUiu n "cckiys
A pigeon fancier In Antwerp Belgium.
recently made a unique experiment by
means of which he tested the celerity
OF flight and the power of orientation
possessed by a swallow Several pairs
of these birds had nests under .he
caves of his house. and without great
dimculty he caught one of the swallows
and marked 1t with a splash of rci
paint for Identification. Then he ship
ped the bird by rail. together with a
consignment of homing pigeons that
were being trained. to the town OF
Compiegne in northern France, a dis.
tance of 147 miles.
The morning after their arrival
pigeons and swallow were liberated
simultaneously at 7:15 o'clock. The hom-
ers, following their natural instinct
circled round and round. many times
before getting their bearings, but the
swallow darted away toward the north
Immediately after it's cage was opened.
Sixty-seven minutes later the watcher
in Antwerp saw the swallow enter its
nest, while the first pigeons did not ar
rive for four hours and seven minutes.
The former flew at a rate of nearly I32
miles an hour. but the speed of the
pigeons averaged only slightly more
than 35k miles on hour. This later
time is considerably slower than that Of
which the homer Is capable Inder ordi-
nary conditions, but, granting this fact.
the superiority of the swallow Is only
too evident.

Once he gets a subject the work is
quickly done and without any Of the

get his cannon-like arrangement trained
on the baby. Then he touches a spring.
which lets the button drop into metal

He pours acid into the receptacle. pulls
out magnet from another pocket. fishes

From still another pocket he brings the

hands around the picture for the crowd
to admire before turning 1t over to the

pose, it was stated, was to allow the
prosecution to cross-examine the young
defendant.
Scores of women and even school girls
were turned away from the courtroom to-
day. Judge Brentano commented on the
presence Of women and girls in the face
OF published statements showing that
much of the testimony in the case Is un-
fit for publication. He threatened to pho
tograph every woman present. at which
several of them fed from the place.
