London.-After a 12,00C-miIe jour
ney from Adelaide, South Australia, a
flock OF pedigreed white Leghorn poul-
try has arrived at the Garth Poultry

The six hens laid .531 eggs, valued
at $40, during the year, which works

per hen. The hens now at Clan Con-

Til. Wind and the Motorear.

That the velocity of the wind makes
material difference In the speed Of
his car is realized by every motOriSt
but just what this resistance amonns
to is not matter of common know
edge The increase in resistance is not
in direct proportion TO the increase In
the velocity of the wind. but il double
the amount that would ordinarily be
expected For example. wind OF fifty
miles an hour exerts pressure of ten
pounds against each square foot OF
surface directly in its path. while a
body moving through the air at speed
of 100 miles an hour meets with u re-
sistance of forty pounds per square
foot To travel at fifty miles an hour,
then against head wind of equal We
locity sets up a resistance to the move
ment of the car of about 1000 pounds,
or half Il ton. and II Is small wonder
that the occupants gasp for breath. At
this speed the total pressure exerted
against u man Of ordinary size would
be equal to 200 pound weight dis.
,ributed over the upper half of bis
body. and 1t may be imagined that
lung action under such conditions Is
rather difficult = Harper's.

About the Turkey.


The turkey is American in origin.
This, name was originally applied to
the guinea fowl. The first mention of
the turkey In the literature of explora-
tion was mnde in 1897 by Oviedo in
the "Sumario de la Natural Historic
de las midas" He says that 1t was
discovered In Mexico and carried
thence by the Spaniards to the islands
OF the Caribbean and the isthmus. The
bird was established In Europe by
1880. yet there Is possibility that 1t
was carried to England by Cabot
from his voyage to northern America.
On the other hand. harrington has
labored. but without convincing sue
cess. to establish claim that the tur.
key was known before the discovery
of America and was introduced from
Europe into the new world.
