Should she go out into

SPEED OF BIRDS
Observations Show 1t Has Been
0~vereStimated.
Airplane Travels Faster, but WINGED
Creatures Beat It in Starting
and AliQhting.

Every n surely who has watched
the flight Of the swifter birds has made
his own estimate as to their speed.
The speeds attained by the carrier
pigeon, the duck and the faster of the
sea birds have formed the subject of
endless guesswOrk and inevitable en-
aggeratiOn. Birds which are incapable,
even when at full stretch, of doing
more than forty to fifty miles an hour,
have been credited with 100 and more.
Now, the fact of the matter is that
nothing is more difficult than to Judge
of the speed of any object through the
air by mere human observation. Fore
shortening due to perspective alone
renders it impossible to tell just when
a moving object passes above some
fixed point on the ground, and almost
invariably the estimated speed is far
beyond the actual. AT the present
time the highest well-authenticated
speed is that of hOming pigeons, some
OF which have reached a speed of 60
miles an hour over comparatively
short distances.
But now Colonel Meinertzha-
gen, a noted O~rnitholOgist in Great
Britain, with the statement that dur
ing his anti-aircraft duties in the war,
he trained his men In instrumental
work by making them take observa-
lions of the flight of birds. These he
collected and then confirmed their re-
suits by instrumental work himself.
He tells us that the speed Of birds, as
thus accurately ascertaine1 is far
below what it is popularity believed to
be, varying from twenty to forty miles
for the smaller passeres to from forty
to fifty miles an hour in the case of
waders. Those speeds represent
steady flight; but when a bird Is
frightened by HI enemy, or when it Is
bouncing upon its prey, 1t can ac-
celerate greatly for a limited time.
He estimates that for a short distance
the swift can reach a speed Of 100
miles an hour.
The airplane. therefore, has greatly
surpassed the swiftness Of the birds
both In Its power of sustained speed
"Au ~ 10 IioAiiiulu SpSCu. rTOu 1UU
to 12O miles an hour can be main-
tanned by many of the standard ma.
chimes, and we know that last year
the racing speed was carried up to
from $50 to 100 miles per hour, while
recent models are credited to be even
faster.
Where the birds still greatly sur
pass the human flying machines is In
the matter Of taking off and alight-
ing. The seabirds, and all birds in
fact, by changing the angle of Incl
dence Of their wings, are able to re.
duce their landing speed at a rate
which the airplane and the seaplane
cannot at present approach.-Scientifc
American.

THE subject Of Christmas gifts is

of charming suggestions to in

Perhaps you have some dainty all

very effectively in this shade. AS to

Perhaps you have some ribbon in
that Pandora piece bag Of yours; then
so much the better. It will make up
into a handsome bag. All you will
have to buy is n Of the new-style
round metal tops. You will find that
the fligree roman gold or antique Sill

kangaroo. Browning is also a fast
mar on the floor and knows how to
follow up a play. He is the biggest
man on the sophomore team, you
can't miss him, and it is worth your
twenty-five cents to come and watch
him play.
Lebert and Herring are the two
forwards Of the sophs. They are both
skilled players and promise a hot
time for their opponents. Come out
and see them. They are the Mutt
and Jeff of the inter-class games.
Guards-(You tell 'em ~pardner)
with Baker and Kampfer as their
guards the sophomore team is O. X.
Once let Kampfer get that long arm
of his around the basketball and no
one will see it until he has made a
basket. Sektnan is being held in re-
serve in case the sophs should begin
to lose.
Freshmen
The freshman team this year will
perhaps be the best freshman team
that ever played at an inter-class
tournament in the high school gym.
Their team this year is represented
by men who have played before and
their average weight will equal that
of any other team at the tournament.
With Beauford Barr playing center,
the freshman team have a decided
advantage over the other teams who
will play at the inter-class games.
Barr played on the second team last
year and has a possible future as a
basketball player.
If Arden Snyder proves to be as
good a player as he is a dancer, then
the person who tries to pass Snyder
as he plays his position as guard at
the inter-class games they will find
that they have a very difficult prop
on their hands.
Worst and Hammerness will be the
feather-weight forwards of the tourn-
ament. They are both small, but they
make up for their deficiency in size
~ possessing an unsupported amount
If speed and pep.
Carl Akre will be the other guard
IN the freshmen team. Akre is a
arge man and it will take a star for
ward to make any baskets that he is
guarding. Ernest Akre, Nelson
and Alton Kjos will be the
irst recruits from the benches in
,ase there are causalties in the
freshman team.

NO NOISE AT THIS AUCTION
In Holland, Business Of Buying and
Selling Is Conducted Quietly
n in Order.

In a Dutch auction, the a~uctioneer
starts at a high figure, which he
gradually reduces until a bid is re-
ceived. In one case in the Westland
OF Holland market gardeners have
joined forces and erected an auction
hall on a canal. The growers bind
themselves to sell in this market
only; thus the merchants are forced
to compete with each other. The
merchants sit at numbered desks on
one bank of the canal, and the auc-
tloneer has an Office on the other
bank. Each desk has a button COM
m%unicating electrically with a big
dial near the auctioneer. The dial
has prices marked round the rim
and a big pointer which swings
round when released. A large load
OF cucumbers is punted down the
canal between the merchants and the
%auctloneer. The quantity and quail
ity are announced and the pointer
on the dial is released. When the
price some merchant is prepared to
give is indicated by the pointer he
presses his button and the pointer
stops. His number on a neighbor-
ing board is Illuminated, the auc-
tloneer makes a note of the transac-
ton and the next barge moves in.
No noise, no fuss; this auction is q
victory for cooperation.

LUMINOUS BAIT.

Tiny electric lamps, operating
from little batteries, have been de-
veloped remarkably, so that there
are now pocket lamps which are
about the size and shape of fountain
pens, but the oldest development of
all is luminous bait. ,
This luminous bait is really a very
small lamp made in the shape of a
bait fish. A little battery sends a
current through a tiny electric lamp
and the rays shine out through
lenses on the side of the bait. Sew
eral hooks are attached to capture
the fish, which is supposed to be at
tracted by the marvel.
