BIRDS SWIFTNESS
BEATEN BY AEROS

Under the caption How Fast Do
Birds Fly?' the Scientific American
goes into an enlightening discus
sion on the speed attained by birds.
and states that some of the
feathered tribe, which are incapable
even at full stretch of doing more
than forty to fifty miles an hour,
haveN been credited with 100 and
over. and that the fact of the mat
ter is that nothing is more difficult
than TO Judge the speed of any OBJ
ject through the air by mere humap
observation. Foreshortening due to
perspective alone renders it impos-
sible to tell just when a moving OBJ
ject passes above some fixed point
on the ground. and almost invari-
ably the estimated speed is far be-
yond the actual. :.
Asserting that the airpIanes has
greatly surpassed the swiftness of
birds both in its power of sustained
speed and in its maximum speed, the
article states that where the birds
still greatly surpass the human fly
ing machines IL in the matter of
taking on and alighting. The sea-
birds. and all birds in fact. by
changing the angle of incidence Of
their wings. are able to reduce
their landing speed at a rate which
the airplane and the seaplane can
not at present approach.

KING SHOWS HOW
TO JILT BETROTHED
His Royal Highness of Siam
Breaks 1t Gently But
Firmly.

BANGKOK, Siam, Aug. 6.-Here's
hsw to jilt a girl without risk of a
suit for break of promise. You have
to be an eastern potentate to get
away with it. however.
When King Rama VI, of Siam
met Princess Vallabha Devi on q
shopping expedition. he announced
by royal proclamation that he pro-
posed marrying her. and the local
press daily referred to the couple as
the Sun and Moon. with true East
ern reverence.
When, however, he changed hi:
mind recently. the king did it thii
way, also by royal proclamation OF
which the following is a full trans
lation:
"BY COMMAND OF THE KINGS
MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
Whereas, in proclaiming His Ma.
jesty's bethrothal and for this pur'
pose promoting Nom Chow (Hel
Serene HiRhness Princess) vallabhs
Devi to the title Of Phra vara.
kanayiapandan. (the. Kings be.
throthed) Phra ong Chow (Hel
Royal -Highness) Princess vallabhs
Devi, His Majesty had no other de,
sire than firmly and definitely e
insure the succession to the throne
with a view to the good Of, tn,
country, as well as the happiness Of
his own person:
And whereas, to is Majesty,
deepest regret. IL has now becom,
apparent. beyond all doubt, that Hi.
Majesty's noble desire, as abov,
stated, cannot satisfactorily be me
owing to the incompatibility o.
temperament between His Majest,
and Her Royal Highness Princes
vallabha Devi. which may be ac
counted for by. tho chronic indis
position of the Princess. who's
nervous system leaves much to b,
desired, SO much so that His Males
ty is under the apprehension lest II
the event of the royal marriage be
ing permitted to take place unde
sirable consequences may follow II
regard to the succession to tn
throne.
Now therefore. His Majesty ha
commanded that the proclamation

BRAzL'SBUSINESS
SLUMP Held ENDED
Experts Believe Worst Part of
Sever Depression is Over,
Although Still Bad.

RIO DE JANIERO. Aug. 6.-It is
the general opinion in well informed
business circles that the worst
stage of the present financial and
commercial crisis in Brazil has been
passed. and that conditions from
now on will show a gradual i'm
proyement until new and stable
basis for international commercial
relations is reached.
Several factors have contributed
&c tho recent ripples of optimism in
commercial circles. The success OF
the s25, 200. 900 Brazilian loan. just
floated in New York, is, of course
the most gratifying indication
Commercial circles here interpret
the fact that the loan was over
subscribed in three hours as a proof
that the freign credit of the re-
public is still sound in the United
States.
The slight improvement in ex-
change. resulting from the loan. and
Il gradual increase in the price Of
ccffee also have provided. ammuni.
tion for optimists.
The present crisis apparently Il
affecting the northern states worse
than any other district. Dispatches
from Para and Pernambuco declare
that the rubber and cocoa markets
virtually have disappeared-offer
ings finding few buyers at any price
In Sac Paulo. the "Bulkwark Of
the Nation" the critical condition
has been aggravated by the recen.
cattle plague. which has necessi'
tated the killing OF hundreds Of val
liable animals and has ruined some
farmers.
American meat packing COM
panies, which now are operating ex-
tensively in Sac Paulo and Ric
Grande de Sui, have been especially
hard hit, since embargoes stopped
all export shipments and butcher
ing had to be suspended.
However, the optimistsS declare
that the "Rinderpest" now is vir-
tually stamped out. the coffee mar
kcts improving. the foreign credit
OF the country established and that
all signs point to a gradual business
recovery.
