On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.

On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishbone" the
furcula, and 1t is the union Of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt Of the strokes Of the
wing that turn the creature In its
flight.
Few Of us appreciate the strength
Of the stroke Of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break a
mans leg by blow of Its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings Of
the larger birds are dangerous IL they
strike the human head or face. II,
therefore, a large bird Is in the habit
Of making sudden turns to right or
left In its flight 1t must be fitted with
"wishbone" capable of withstanding
the great strain Of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanled by
action on the other.
For this reason we find In the eagle
and birds Of its class that turn quickly
a furcula that is perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape of the
"wishbone" Of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ress that make our sport Of breaking
the "wishbone" possible. - Harper's

Experiment That Led to the Invention

The barometer was invented by Tor.
ricelii, pupil Of Galilei, in 1913. In
attempting to pump water from a yery
deep we'll near Florence he found that
In spite Of all his efforts the liouid
would not rise higher In the pump
stock than thirty-two feet. This set
the young scientist to thinking, and as
he could not account for the phenome.
non In any other way he was not slow
Ia attributing It to atmospheric pres.

rise In vacuum only to such height
as would render the downward pres
sure or weight of the column of water
Just equal to the atmospheric pressure
and, further, that should heavier fluid
be used the height of the column could
be much reduced. To prove this he
selected a glass tube four feet long
and after sealing one end filled 1t with
mercury and then inverted it In q
basin,containing a quantity of the same
peculiar liquid. The column in the
tube quickly fell to height of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury in the
basin. leaving In the top Of the tube a
vacuum which Is the most perfect that
has ever been obtained and which is
TO this day called the Torricelli vac

name Of the instrument means "air

The Way to Bring Down an overhea

One of the cardinal rules Of the old

gunner against ever trying to stop an
overhead incoming bird, but to wait
until 1t had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what Is un-
doubtedly the harder shot of the two.
1t Is surprisingly how difficult 1t Is
for some sportsmen to successfully
score ON their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game In
any other mode of flight will habitual-
~ balk at this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make 1t.
Yet once Its principle Is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
Of an overhead incomer is as easy as
anything can well be. The miss is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird, and
there is but one way In which the err
r0r Is to be avoided.
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
over him. then. bringing up his gun,
follow In from behind, cover the bird
and swing in ahead Of it and, main
tanning the same rate Of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird Is hid
den behind the barrels. Do not stop
the swing Of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
sight. II the shooter will observe this
rule he will be surprised how easily
and invariably he will kill his Bird
