MANY BIRDS UNABLE TO FLY
Having No Necessity to Use Wings
to Escape Enemies, Those Men,
bers Ceased to Develop.

OF the 70 kinds of birds existing in
New Zealand, 80 are found nowhere
'else, and of this number by far the
aarger portion is fightless this, no
doubt, owing to the fact that for ages,
ever since the sea swallowed up a cor
tinent, leaving only the islands COM
pr1sing the present Dominion of New
Zealand, there have been no destru,-
tive carnivora in the land, except those
small ones imported recently to ait in
abating the rabbit pest, and, having 10
enemies, the birds also had no use for
wings, which ceased to Geveiep, aud as
years rolled by left many species With
only little nubbins for wings and alb
solutely without power of fight.
Centuries ago there were in exist
ence at least three varieties of gigun-
tic birds, two of which were as large
in body as the tabled roc, the rescuer
of Sinbad the sailor. These included
the Hapagornis, the Dinornis OF Moa
and the Cnemiornis, which was a gi-
gantic goose. The Moa became ex-
tinct some 500 years ago. 1t was
Hghtless bird, said by tradition to
have been hunter of humans, man
eater, was of varying size and eX-
tremely plentiful.

LAND VALUES GROW RAPIDLY
Philadelphia Property Worth Ter
Times More Than 1t was Ac-
quired for in '9os.

Real estate experts are autho:+-
for saying that the value of land JUS,
outside of Philadelphia has risen a
much in 20 years as the value OF lane
within the city limits.
We shall only use one illustration. 4
]. Drexel gave approximately $2,5N
an acre for something more than 17C
acres at Overlook. That vas in thu
early '90s. Today the value is near
$4,000.
Every dollar there has grown to at
least ten.
In the central business section OF
Philadelphia increase in land valuee
has also been tremendous during these
two decades, but in other large por.
tons of the town property values have
not kept up the same relative speed.
From Frederick A. Richie it Is
learned that anthracite lands which
his ancestor had purchased for $70C
were held for one century and then
sold not long ago for 1925, 900. ReseI,.

Pistol Shootind.

At short range an expert will keep
a can moving until his gun is empty,
either by shooting through it Or strik-
ing the ground directly underneath
it. If the nature of the ground is right
this latter method makes the can
jump in the air, the effect being cutie
spectacular. Bottles or cans thrown
in the air are not particularly difficult
to hit If thrown so as to make it as
easy as possible for the shooter, and
almost any fair shot can put two
bullets through an old hat thrown In
the air before it reaches the ground.
In general the secret of hitting oh.
jects thrown in the air is to aim the
pistol underneath them and fire as
the object Is falling into the line of
sight. One really good at this class Of
work will throw an object into the
air, draw his pistol from the holster
with the same hand with which he
threw, and hit the object before it
reaches the ground. There are few
who have the speed to do this, how
