The Worlds GREATEST FRAUD

TN spite of the fact that the calendars of
the courts of justice are crowded. that
u prisons are full and that every tenth man
you meet has SERVED time," 1t is a difficult
thing to defraud other people. The lives we
live are 80 entangled with other lives that
merely to realize how much we are de-
pendent on others and they on US is difficult
How much more difficult is 1t, then, not
only to figure out all these relations, but
also to concoct a fraudulent scheme which
shall also be IN harmony with all these other
lives at every point But 1t Is easy TO do
fraud ourselves.

Things to Know About
BAKING POWDER

rrHERE are three great classes OF baking novaer
on the market-phosphate cream OF tartar and
alum. In each soda is used as the alkali
which combines the presence of moisture with the
acid phosphate, cream Of tartar alum and gives on
carbonic acid gas-the agent that is generated
by the growth OF the yeast plant in the eavening Of
bread These bubbles Of gas pushing 10 the surface
carry the dough with them. and then are driven on
by heat until the loaf is dried out or done,
The gas disappears-but what OF the chemicals that
generated it?

Whv So FEW BIRDS Are SEEN

THE migration Of birds, whereby even
weak-winged species will fly thou
l. sands Of miles from breeding to feed
ing grounds, is one Of the most fascinating
OF the unknown fields Of science Recently,
however, those who have adopted the science
of bird-lore. or ornithology, have determined
that migrating birds fly at far greater heights
than had been imagined, and that the reason
why migration has not been definitely
mapped out is because 1t is invisible
Most of the recent observations have been
made by special instruments. but until within
a year or two accidental observations made
OF birds passing across the fields of astronomi-
cal telescopes AFFORDED the only basis.
Extraordinary as it may seem, there are
scores Of authenticated records showing birds
aying at height of two or three miles, and
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-09-29

records OF five miles (secured by comparing
the approximate size OF the bird with lunar
features Of known dimensions) have been
noted. Birds are able to breathe air far more
rarefed than earth-dweling animals, but 1t is
practically new idea that such great heights
are reached. 1t has been suggested that
minor physiological changes permit birds to
make full use of this rarefed air, but this
view is not widely accepted.
At these great heights the speed of flight
appears to be greater than in the denser air
near the ground The American golden
plover seems TO hold the record for long
distance flights and in this fight a speed of
from $50 10 200 miles an hour is maintained.
The plover leaves Nova Scotia for South
America and scorns to make use of the coast
line at all. In the event Of adverse winds

or exceedingly stormy weather, which cannot
be lodged by ascending or descending to
other strata Of the air, the ployer may make
landing on some Of the West India islands,
and In rare cases on the Bermudas. but gen.
orally the $500 miles flight Is accomplished
direct. and always within one day and night
The Pacific golden plover likewise finds Its
way annually from Alaska to the Hawaiian
islands, matter Of 2.4oo miles, the trip
again usually being made In a day. 1t Is evi
dent that to land bird the fight would
necessarily be continuous for the double
reason that there Is no landing and that there
is no food. The high fight, moreover, gives
great sweep Of vision and aids the homing
instinct by keeping the birds from missing
