In preparing for such an expedition
his custom was to go to the bakery

bread, split them in half, stand them
around his campfire and thoroughly
dry them. ("I could not afford to

with him something which enabled
him to extract more nutriment from

Ne,c Medium,

ut is hoped that in course of time
ayistiors viii be able to throw u food
Of light upon this obscure but intensely
interesting branch Of ornithology. AL
ready number OF observations have
lacking in detail, and no very definite
conclusion can as yet be formed. Up
TO the present l believe the greatest
height at which a bird has been seen
from an airplane is $4,000 feet, when
Lieutenant j. S. Risen, Of the 57th
Squadron, observed two large birds
over st. Omer in August, 1917"
Like an airplane, a bird may seek
the stratum Of air in which it is
most convenient to fly, as the writer
goes on to say:
Probably the majority Of species
seldom travel under normal conditions
above 10000 or 1900 feet, but, Of
course, the height at which they fly on
any given day depends very largely
upon the weather. When the air is
thick or heavily charged with moisture,
II birds are migrating at all under such
conditions, they are inclined to keep
low, and 7 think it is only in clear
atmosphere that they rise TO the higher
strata. Wind Is another and 3 very
important factor What appears to be
contrary wind on the ground will al
most certainly veer to shoulder wind
az 2,oOo or 5000 feet; while if it hap
pens to be blowing from the east, IL
complete reversal of direction may oc-
cur before $1,000 feet is reached.
There is every reason to believe
mat tho power OF birds flight is re-
auced IS it ascends to moro rarefed
S'mospheres, on account of, among
other things, a loss Of buoyancy, an in-
'uincient supply of oxygen. and too
'nin, unresisting medium for wing pro-
pulsion.
From the few records available,

~HEY have been observed by
an aviator at an altitude Of
l. $4,000 feet, but this is un-
usual. IN an article on the
fight of birds a writer in 1.-THE
Toronto Globe" says:
"On the night OF September 8, 1887.
while an American scientist, F. NJ.
Chapman, was observing the moon
through an astronomical telescope, he
suddenly became aware Of a number Of
birds passing In front Of the lens, sill
houetted against the glaring light Of
the moons face. For more than two
aud half hours-from ?. m. to 1850
D. m, to be precise-an intermittent
stream OF migrants flowed southwark
across his field of view, and among
these Mr.. Chapman was able to recog-
mis- the outlined forms of Carolina
rails, grackle, snipe and ducks. These,
roughly estimated. were travelling at
elevations varying from 5000 to $4,000
feet
Until the advent of airplanes, nearly
quarter OF century later, this OBJ
servation formed practically the sum
total Of our knowledge of the height
at which birds travelled to and from
their summer quarters. 1t was realized.
Of course, that certain passerine spe-
cies--e. g., swallows, wagtails, pipits,
larks, rocks, etc.--usually migrated at
q comparatively low height; but Of
many birds and especially Of the larger
species, we knew next to nothing
True, we occasionally obtained a dis
tant view OF slleiu Of geese moving
in orderly formation across the gray
background Of an autumn sky, but it
was always difficult to compute their
height, and one could only guess at the
direction and force Of the upper air
currents through which they were

According to DR.. McCollum one

all the nut foods and other foods
that Or. Kellogg has ever invented
and all the variety Of meats that
Armour packs, and yet starve to
death unless one has certain foods
that contain mysterious, unidenti-
fled substance which he has named
the "fat soluble A." which is
found in butter, milk, eggs and in
green vegetables, and the "water
soluble b." which is found in the
coating Of rice.
The Staff Of Life
One marvels how the world has
survived all these centuries without
this precious bit Of knowledge. But
ter, milk and eggs and green things
are, Of course, on the dietary of
most persons in this country, but
miners, explorers, seafaring men
and the very Door everywhere are
generally without these prime neces-

hundred miles down the Little Mis-
souri, River the only food they had
during the last week was wheat
flour, which they made into a loaf
by using the muddy water of the

The only Inference to be drawn
from these and similar experiences
is that though the men may not
have been ideally nourished, they
were sufficiently we'll fed to keep up
their strength and enable them to
do their work, which is, in the main,
true Of the mass of mankind every
