SPEED IN HIGH ATTITUDES
An AeronautieaI Theory That Is Borns
Out by the Migrations
Of Birds.

The statement that a flying machine
with normal speed of 40 miles an
hour would travel at height Of 5
miles at $50 miles an hour-made by
DR.. Graham Bell, is supported by an
ornithoIogist. Doctor Bells view,
which depended on a prolonged course
of scientific inquiries, was that the
speed OF an aeropIane increased in
more or less definite ratio as the
height from the earth increased. The
thinner the air the faster the aircraft
That birds use this quality Of the
air now seems probable. Some of the
migrants arriving in England have
been observed to dive down from an
incalculable height, as has often been
observed in Heligoland. That the
weak flyers should cross the North
Sea In one dash has seemed an in
soluble mystery, because it has neces-
STATED the theory that they are en-
dowsd at that moment with a sudden
access of power. May 1t not be that
then only they find themselves in the
thinner higher air? Swifts, which are
the most rapid flyers of all, for the
most part fly higher than other birds.
Cranes have been seen to cross the
suns disk at an estimated height of
5A miles, and others have passed over
clear the highest mountain ranges.
The verdict Of one Of the best stu
dents Of migration is that without
ascending to considerable altitude
the migration Of many birds would be
simply impossible That very poor
flyer, the corn-crake, has travelled the
seemingly impossible distance Of 5000
miles
1t is true that many birds have been
observed to fly low during migration.
Swallows especially have been seen
migrating at a low elevation. and even
to cover 100 miles an hour.-Londop

1t Brings Many Strange coinci-
dences to the Life of
True Man.
BY WALTER JAMES DELANEY

Coward! How that word ranked
within the soul Of Ralph Warden, and
what a difference It's utterance had
made in his life! Looking back six
months, it seemed to him as though
that word had been the start of all his
troubles, the evil star OF his destiny
He had lived at Junta, a frontier
town and a military post, since boy
hood. Just as he came of age his
mother had died Through her brief
period OF illness 1t had been the
friendly visits and kind ministrations
OF Ethel Lynd that had made her Sc
rene and peaceful Ralph had grown
to love the beautiful daughter of Col
onel Lynd. He had fancied that she
somewhat encouraged him, when a
rude circumstance had brought down
into ruins all his fair air castles of
hope
He recalled the day when Miss
Lynd, her girl cousin, Lieutenant Van
derloot and three visiting school
friends of Ethel were strolling near
the river, when a homeless drunkard
known about the district as Pauper
Joe, reeled across their path. He
CHANGED to joggle against Ralph. In
his maudlin fury called him a name
that was always wiped out with blood
in that primitive section, and struck
him.
For q moment the fire Of resent.
ment and indignation sprang to the
eyes of Ralph. Then, clinching his
fists, holding his breath, his face grew
ashen as he stood rigid as a statue.
He fancied he noted a look of con
tempt cross the face Of Miss Lynd. He
heard word spoken

Then the group passed on, but not

though, for I am now engaged to a
girl who owns three ranches, and
when my term Of service is out, am
going to settle down to an easy life. ;,
The Whirligig of time brought about
another strange happening-Pauper
Joe, no longer drinker, the fond, fer
vent friend Of the man who had been
kind to him, was also stationed at
Fort Danger.
The place had been truly named.
Situated On the edge of an almost
impossible desert, the nearest fort
two hundred miles distant, it was iso-
lated among Indians who had the
habit OF periodical blood-thirsty out
break.
Another strange coincidence in the
wh<rligig Of time was the fact that
Ethel Lynd was now at Fort Blain,
where her father was mailing a gov
ernmental inspection.
It was late of blazing hot summer
afternoon. when as she sat in a
breezy corner OF the fort scanning the
broad plain with q field glass. Ethel
made out horseman In the distance,
going at tearing speed. She informed
the officer in charge. Twenty minutes
later there dashed into the fort a
reekfng horse. In the saddle was a
man, tattered, sun-blistered, with a
gaping bullet wound in one arm, and
propped up In front Of him another
man, seemingly dying. q
The rider was Ralph Warden, his
helpless burden Pauper Joe. The
horse reeled and fell to it's knees. The
rider toppled in dead faint into the
arms of two soldiers. They lifted
Pauper Joe gently to the ground.
Water, for the love Of heaven!" be
pleaded. Then, when the cooling
draught had passed his fevered lips:
Care for him. the sergeant-the hero!
must tell the story quick, for I'm
done for 49,.
What story 1t was! Fort Danger
surrounded by Indians, cut off from
civilization, with only a weeks sup
plies, was hemmed in. Most of the
soldiers, desperate, mad for fight, had
got at the liquor stores. They would
fight like demons, but when the food
gave out they were doomed.
Ralph Warden, Pauper Joe and two
others had made the only attempt pos
sib1e for relief-a dash across the arid
desert. One man had gone mad
from thirst and had died in his
tracks. Another, fancying he saw
water at the bottom of a ravine, had
plunged headlong to death in his de
lirium. Indians had attacked them
Ralph had shielded Joe, grabbed him
up to his saddle at the risk of his life
and
He was my only friend-a hero, the
sole survivor" breathed Joe, Heaven
Heaven bless him!" and died
Fort Danger was relieved and saved
1t was Ethel who nursed Ralph back
to life. It was Ethel who contritely
told how she had wronged him, and
later how she regretted losing him
and now, when his eager lips ques.
toned her, she told, too, how she
loved him.

RecIps for Makina Jokes.

There lis nothing any easier than
writing Jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two OF three
hundred, on slip of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys. Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather UP the
jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
hours a day spent In this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support a wife and nine children,
run six-cylinder touring car and buy
bonbons for soul-mate. Try it.

CAPTAIN KNEW HIS VISITOR
Also Realized That Even Superdread-
nought Would Be lrnperiied by
Presence OF Idiot.

The brand-new battleship of the su
perdreadnought type had been thrown
open to visitors. Her captain stood
at the gangway receiving his guests,
pride and delight In his magnificent
vessel shining In every lineament.
Suddenly his gaze concentrated upon
an approaching figure. His face grew
pale to the lips: he shook in every
fiber. Controlling his terror by a
mighty effort, he turned hastily to his
executive officer
Clear for action, Mr.. Blooddiet,' he
cried. Beat to quarters. Load with
grape Order the marines to eoncen-
trate behind me, prepared to repel
boarders.''
AYE, aye, SIR responded the off,
Ger promptly, although thoroughly be-
wildered.
The blood returned to the captains
face and he regained his composure
as he remarked how quickly his or
ders were carried out, and how they
were prepared to meet their formida-
bic foe successfully. When his eyes
again sought the object Of his fears
He was close aboard. Hello. cap'n!"
he cried, a vacuous smile playing
about his weak mouth.
Back" shouted the captain stern
". Back. or I'll blow you up!"
:Say, eap'n, that's what you seem
to be doin'," responded the enemy,
giggling.
Don't you try to set foot on board
my Ship continued the captain vehe-
mentiy. I'm not going to jeopardize
boat, crew and visitors for your pleas

enemy with another silly grin, don't

rocks the boat, and you shall not come

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts-

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished BABY that is fed ON
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
My baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which I had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, SO got some and prepared it as
follows: l soaked II tablespoonful
In one pint Of cold water for half an
hour. then / strained off the liquid and
mixed II teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
OF rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and
q little sugar, warmed it and gave 1t
to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way | saved
haby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh

feet to have such q wonderful effect
as this I can truthfully say think
