you will notice that the keel of its
breastbone projects like the keel of
racing yacht. You can see this
keel, only much smaller in proper
ton to the size of the bird, on the
carcass of any chicken or turkey after
the meat has been removed, and the
tender white flesh at the breast is
nothing but the muscles with which
the bird few when alive. You notice
that even on chicken, which is one
of the weakest flyers, this flesh forms
the greater part of the body. On
humming bird there is little else but
this mass of flying muscle-in other
words the humming bird is nothing
but tiny flying machine.
An albatross has a vast spread of
wings, and its small body is little else
but pair of powerful pectoral mus
cles. These are attached by tendons
to the hone called the humerus,
which is the counterpart OF the up
per arm bone of man. They spread
out like a solid fan and are fastened
to the breastbone with its deep keel,
TO the clayioes, or "wishbone," and
TO the ribs. A mans breastbone has
no keel His humerus, or upper arm
bone, is hinged to the clayicle or col
larbone and shoulder blade His pee
toral muscles, which move the arm
forward, and deltoid muscles, which
lift it, are attached to it by strong
tendons and spread fanlike over his
upper chest, being inserted in the
ribs and coilarbone. These are the
muscles that do the same work for
man as the pectoral muscles do for a
which he would have to rely if he
were to fasten wings to his arms to
try to fly.
Compare these muscles with those
Of an albatross and you see how in
adequate they are. Though an alba
tross and you see how inadequate
they are. Though an albatross
weighs only few pounds, it has pee
\ loi al ihuSS1CS dTc dCludliy larger
than those of the most powerful ath-
| lete
In order to have muscles powerful
enough to lift his weight in the air
by tapping wings, mans breast
bone would have to develop a keel
like birds and his collarbone would
have to be changed to a giant wish
| bone. Some writer on aviation has
calculated that this keel and wish
bone" would have to project at least
six feet in order to furnish attach
ments for the necessary muscles. For
man, in proportion to his size, is far
heavier than an albatross. This bird
has small and very light legs, where
as mans legs are solid and heavy.
The albatross' long wing bones are
hollow tubes filled with air; every
thing about it is as light as possi-
1 BILE.
! This makes it plain why expert
menters in flying long ago gave up
the idea of self-moving wings and
flight like that of bird

MINNESOTA WITH
400 MARINES
Steaming to Reinforce the Big Fleet
Already at MeXico's Principal
Eastern Seaport

Mexico City, Jan. 10.-Goyern-
ment officials and the newspapers
here were greatly surprised to learn
that the battleship Minnesota with
400 marines aboard had been order
ed to Vera Cruz 1t is believed here
that the concentration of battleships
and marines on the Atlantic side
means a change in President Viii
sons policy toward Mexico.
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
is expected TO return today from
Vera Cruz, where he went to meet
John Lind, President Wilson's per-
sonal representative in Mexico. Mr..
'Shaughnessy will return to the
capital in a special car placed at his
disposal by President Huerta.
The National Railway lost nearly
100000 last year because of the
revolution.
A thousand men were sent today
to reinforce the federals al Cuerna-
vaca.
Long range fighting between the
federals and rebels continued al
Mulapass, p miles south of Ojin-
aga. 1t is believed that the rebels
erals out into the open country.

MAN HASN'T THE MUSCLE
With Which to Manipulate a Pair Of
Wings

Man has always longed to fly like a
bird, and all the ancient attempts at
flight were based upon the Tapping
of wings attached tc human arms.
These efforts were given up long ago
when il was realized that man was
not and could not be strong enough
to sustain himself in the air by the
use Of his arms. A man can only
just lift himself with his arms-chin-
ring the bar, for example-but he
finds himself pretty heavy after he
has done it few times, says a writer
in the World Magazine
The reason why no man will ever
be able to fly with self-moved wings
is that his hreastbone is not big
enough. A birds breastbona has
along its middle deep keel, from
which spring the enormous muscles
that draw down the wings when fap-
ping, or hold them level when start
ing-the muscles, in other words
that support the entire weight Of the
bird
The most powerful flyers have the
deepest breastbones. Look at the
skeleton of an albatross, a condor OF

Senator Fletcher Finishes River and

Washington, Jan. 10-The war
department yesterday recommended
to Congress federal improvement of
the Oklawaha river in Florida from
its mouth to Lake Dora by a channel
six feet deep and sixty feet wide with
suitable locks at an estimated cost
of s733,0 900 and s12, 900 a year for
maintenance. The department rec
commended that the first appropria
tion should be $4,000, with sub
sequent appropriations tc complete
the work in four years
Material development, Of this sec
tion would follow the construction
of a reliable waterway from Lake
Dora to the rivers mouth and an an

cording to reports of district Off

source in numerous lakes in central
Florida and empties into the st.
