Some Birds Are "sprlnter.,~

Birds with short. square wings, like
the king bird, quail and ruffled grouse,
are sprinters; those with wide
stretch Of wings are "distance run.
ners." Birds of the first class attain
their bursts Of speed through their
very rapid wing stroke; birds Of the
second class have sustained powers of
flight, but get under way more slowly.
All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint
ers. They take wing like bullet ;
their wings make loud, whirring
sound. The quail or ruffled grouse can
gain full momentum within sixty feet
of rising; the wings beat from five to
seven times a second. The quail COW
ars from forty-five to fifty feet the first
second away from the gun; his wings
fash like rapidly revolving wheel.
The wings Of the ruffled grouse roar
until the sound can be heard 200 yards
away.

Lion Rampant Not Scottish Flag.
John C. Black, cOnvener of the St.

a correspondent, points out that the
lion rampant is not the Scottish flag.
1t is the banner Of the king of Scots,
and as such is quartered in the Brit

naval and military flag is the white
saltire of st. Andrew on blue field,
just as the red cross of St. George on
