Washington March 2 23-There is an aerial machine far more economical Of energy than the best aeropIane in- vented and that is the bird known as the golden blower. This birds, ac- cording to the United States Depart ment of Agricu1turess new bulletin (No-81851 on Bird Migration,'' can fly 2s40o miles without a stop. mak ing the trip in not quite 4s hours and using only two ounces of fuel in pound aerop1ane, if as economical of fuel would consume in a 20-u1ile flight not the gallon of gasoline re- auired by the best machines but only a single pint The fact that the screw propeller of the aeropIane has no lost. motion. while the to-and- fro motion Of the birds wings appears to be an uneconoInica1 way of apply ing power makes the fact regarding fuel seem even more strange.
 Even the little humning bird can do better than the aeroplane, for in its migration across the Gulf of Mexi- co it flies over 100 miles in d single night. Nearly all birds. in fact, show in their soaring and sailing that they are proficient in the use of several factors in the art of flying that have not yet been mastered either in prin- ciple or practice by the most skill full of modern aviators A vuIture or a crane after a few preliminary wing beats, sets it's wings and mounts in wide sweeping circles to great height, overcoming gravity with no exertion apparent to human vision even when assisted by the, most pow erful telescopes.
 The Carolina rail, or sora. has has small short wings apparently i'll adapted to protracted flight. and or dinarily when forced to fly does so reductantly and alights as soon as possible It flies with such a3wk- wardness and apparently becomes so quickly exhausted that at least one writer has been led to infer that most of it's migration must be made on foot; the facts are, however, that the Carolina rail has one of the long est migration routes of the whole rail family and easily crosses the wide reaches of the Caribbean Sea-
 The popular belief that birds sun- der ordinary circumstances find ocean flight wearisome, and that after la seemingly endless waste they sink exhausted on reaching land, is dis proven by facts, according to the new pamphlet It seems rather that the powers of Iocomotion with which na- ture has endowed many birds are so wonderful that under normal 1condi- tfons they can easily cross the Gulf of Mexico at it's widest point and even pass without pause over the low swa1npy coastal plain to the higher territory beyond. So little averse are birds to an ocean flight that many fly from eastern Texas to the Gulf coast of southern Mexico though this 400 miles of water Journey hardly shortens the distance of travel by an hours flight. Thus birds avoid the hot, treeless plains and scant pro- vender of southern Texas by direct flight from the moist, insect-teerning forests of northern Texas. to a sim liar country in southern Mexico.
