The x. s.eey er .slsa Flight.

A curious fact concerning birds b that the tip of the wing moves at practically the same speed in every species This is $50 feet per minute or nearly seven and half miles per hour. Whether it is the tiny wren or the huge stork. the rule holds good, and even the bee comes within 1t. Thus the bee has a wing only a quarter of an inch long, the sparrow's wing is four inches and the stork's twenty seven. But the bees wing beats Il 400 times in minute, the sparrow's 720 and the stork's only 105 times. If you multiply together the length of the wing and the number of beats you VIII get almost exactly the same result in the three cases-namely. stork. Z, ,885; bee, o,850; sparrow. 2e60. But if ever . machine is made to dy ikea bird it win have to develop far more energy than these figures stand for. A birds energy of flight is not 90 great as is supposed. Although such skillful fliers when aloft. many birds cannot rise from level ground.-L,ondon Answers.

 The books produced in the early cen turies of the middle ages were of re markable beauty inwardly and out Wardly. Religious manuscripts were enriched by illustrations within, while their covers were of silver. gold or enamel incrusted with gems. They were bestewed as splendid gifts by bishops and princes on monastic houses and churches. where they were laid on the altar or chained to a desk. Such chained books were named "catenati." !" A rough outer covering protected them. This was of dark skin or sealskin and later of chrevotin, kind of leather, or sandal, a coarse silk. Such coverings were also called "chemises," as .'che- mise" of sandalwood. These precious books were also placed in caskets, in shrines, or "capsoe." In Ireland they were laid in satchels, otherwise named ''popaires," or "tiagha ubur,". the Celtic bookbinding possessing peculiar beau N of its own.-New York Herald.
