FLIGHT OF BIRDS.

Rapid Wing Movement Does Not Al
ways Imply Speed.
Birds have different modes OF flight,
lust as men have different gaits In
walking or running. Rapid wing
movement does no< always imply
speed in flight any more than rapid
lex movement implies speed in walk
ing OF running. With us 1t Is the
lngth of the stride that tells ultimate.
.ly. What. apart from wing movement.
tells in the birds flight is not known.
Speaking broadly. Tong winged birds
are strong and swift tiiers; short
winged birds are feeble In flight.
When we consider that cumbrous.
slow moving bird like the heron moves
its wings twice per second when In
fight it is evident that many birds
have very rapid wing movement.
Most small birds have this rapid
wing movement with feeble powers
of fight. The common wren and the
dipper, for instance, have flight like.
that Of young bird.
Many Of our smaller migrants seem
but to fit from bush to bush or from
tree to tree. Members Of the thrush
family are low fiiers, the blackbird III
particular, with Its hasty, hurried
flight, often just avoiding fences and
no more Wagtails have beautiful
undulating flight with little apparent
use Of their wings. They look like
greyhounds bounding through the air.
Nearly all birds sail or float occa-
sionaliy without the slightest move
ment of their wings. Even a large
bird like a pheasant will glide In this
way for more than two hundred yards.
Grouse have rapid wing motion
without any great speed, but when
they sail, coming down with the wind.
as they prefer to do, they 60 very fast.
Before alighting they flap their wings
several times very rapidly. like the
clapping of hands. Most birds after
gliding do this. Does it correspond to
putting ON the brakes or reversing the
engine in the case Of mechanical loco
motion? With little apparent use OF
its wings the wood pigeon flies very
strongly and rapidly. 1t never seems
to bring up much before alighting.
but crashes into tree at full speed.
When it rises Its wings crack like
pistol shots.
Ducks are strong on the wing and
often fly in single file. Geese will fly
wedge or arrowhead shape, generally
Mt considerable height. So do many
gulls and other sea birds. In stately.
measured fashion, their calls occa-
sionally sounding like LEFT. right,
left, right.
Kestrels have beautiful. clean cut.
clipping motion Of their wings and
look like yachts sailing through the
air. while their lowering In the air Is
one Of the mysteries Of bird life.
Peesweeps. which are so graceful in
their motions OH the ground. look like
enormous bats when In fight. Swal-
lows and In q very marked degree
swifts have rapid wing movement
with great speed and extraordinary
power Of hight-ScotSman.

Y was. said Mr.. Fields, very rcluc-
tant to ask him to be present. for |

fearful that prosy essay or geological
paper might be presented and felt GER
tain that should such be the case he
would be eXasperatcd with me, the In
nocent cause Of his ailliction.
My worst fears were realized.
dared not look at Thackeray. l felt
that his eye was upon me. My dis
tress may be imagined when | saw
him rise quite deliberately and make
his exit very noiselessly into small
anteroom adjoining. The apartment
was dimly lighted. but he knew that
I knew he was there.
Then be"an series of pantomimic
feats impossible to describe. He threw
an imaginary person-myself, of course
upon the floor and proceeded to stab
him several times with paper fielder,
which he caught up for the purpose.
After disposing Of his victim In this
way he was not satisfied, for the Iull
lecture still went OH in the other room,
SO he fired an imaginary revolver sew
eral times at an imaginary head.
The whole thing was inimitahly
done hoped nobody saw 1t bet my
self. Years afterward pondcrous,
fat witted young man put the question
squarely to me:
What was the matter with Mr.,
Thackeray that night the club met at

What Aceountancy Means.

Accountancy is not and never can
be matter Of abstract knowledge to
be transferred by means Of lectures,
but is the art Of knowing how to ap-
ply that knowledge to the require
ments of business under very varying
conditions. 1t is essentially something
that cannot be taught in lectures or
classes. but can only be acquired as
result Of careful individual study
and reasonable amount of actual
practice.-BooE keeping.

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Horse Chestnut Basket.

When the big breezy autumn days
come and the brown leaves rush down
from the trees you and your friends
viii probably begin 70 hunt for horse
chestnuts. You know how you find
them when you are shutting through
the leaves thar some one has just piled
up In tidy heap. Sometimes they are
scattered around loose and sometimes
they are srill neatly packed into their
neat, coy beds In the great burs And,
oh, don't they look nice and shiny, like
beautifully brushed horses, when you
take them out OF their nest!
But after you have kept them awhile
they get hard and shrunken, so II Is a
good idea 10 make the best of them
while they are quite new. Do you
ever make baskets OF them? It Is
quite easy TO make very cunning little
baskets If you have a good penknife
Turn the chestnut ON end and cut
two parallel lines down the middle TO
form the handle Stop halfway down
the chestnut and cut straight out TO
the side. Pick out the inside. and there
Is your dear little basket all complete.
or course II you are very clever with
your penknife you can make basket

way. and lots OF other things.
