TO STUDY FLIGHT OF BIRDS
Students of Aviation Seek to Solve
Riddle of the Aibatross and
Other "Soarers."

Students Of aviation are trying to
solve the riddle of how the alballoss
and other great 'soarel's" make effort
less hight without wing beats.
Special Investigation of this phe-
nonlcnun will be made during the mo-
tOl'lesS dying carnvnls in France, Ger
many and Switzerland
All birds which have this wonderful
power of gliding here and there with
molionless outstrctched wings are
alike III one respect Underneath their
widespread wings, as they extend them
in soaring are clearly marked trans
verse ridges
What purpose those underneatll-wing
rays or ridges serve is. at present. 1t
mystery; but the significant fact is
that all great .soaFerS have them
whereas birds which do not soar, but
move only by constant wing beats,
have no such ridges
An ingenious theory Is that by means
of these ridges" the birds focus, or
compress. wind cddcs as they sweep
beneath the wings, and so manage t6
extract not only an upward lift but
also Il propulsive effort from them.
Another explanation IS that the bird
is able to vibrate It's apparently mo-
tiOpeSS wing, SO that the transverse
rays" accelerate the wind flow under
the wing and obtain reaction which
drives the bird forward without any
visible wine effort

Indian Emerald Mines Located.

The t'nnaulstadores. when they
seized the rich emerald mines Of Go,
lombia. forcing the native Indians
to work them, suspected the existence
OF other mines. After search OF
three years iu Colombia, Christopher
Dixon, engineer for the Colombian En-
ersld syndicate, says he has located
some or the ancient mines hidden from
the protiteerlng Spaniards by the ma
tiVeS.
The emeralds Of Colombia are tho
finest, but not the biggest. in the world,
and the country produces more than
all the rest of the world combined.
The recently rediscovered mines, Mr..
Dixon said are about two and a half
days journey from Bog0ta.

RIVER IN PLACE OF A SWAMP
Remarkable Upheava Said to BE With
out Precedent in History OF
British East Africa.

The bursting Of Il swamp ~ miles
from Nairohi. writes the London l)aily
Mail correspondent. is without prece-
dent in the history Of the British &C.
cupation of kenya colony, formerly
British East Africa. Where once was
placid swamp covered with papyrus
grasS. there Is now 81 permanent vale!
with a turbulent river, flowing down
the center.
In the swamp was a floating p2py-
rus mattress many feet thick ana with
about 70 feet of water beneath Elm
bankments- We're made and bridge
erected carrying the road across the
swamp, and when the Thika railroad
was constructed substantial bridge
WAS also erected across this swamp
at point few hundred yards below
the road bridge.
Now many square miles OF swamp
water have been released The effect
was breakup Of the papyrus like the
smashing Of a log jam. The weight Of
the water wiped out the main and
minor road bridges and seriously dam
aged the railway bridge, cutting off
from civilization the whole Of the huge
agricultural area of the Kenya PROV
ince around Mount Kenya.
Earthquake shocks were experienced
in this district recently, and the theory
of the government officials is that these
caused the sudden collapse of the
support of the swamp, that support
probably taking the form Of rocky
roof Of huge underground cayerns.
No floods below the valley are re-
ported. and the volume Of water must,
therefore, have gone underground Ieay-
ing behind = new and unexpofed
decllritf many miles long, which may
be the resting place OF minerals or re-
mains OF scientific Importance.

The attorney for Mr. Golden in a

and other townships. The defendant
alleges that he will be able to prove
that Irregularities were committed
in the townships he names iuvolv-
ing the vote of county wcighcr and
that his opponent in the race shared
benefits in votes east. The legal
proceedings are characterized BY
much wrangling over FIRST one phase
and then another in the Issue in
volved
This morning the court ruled that
the ballots Of the 1920 presidential
election may be produced if it ma,
be proved that the evidence thus
presented may he proved TO be
eligible The plaintiffs attorney re
viewed in substance chat the bal
tots in that contest had been care
lcssly kept in the vault of the court
house, that they had been easily
accessible by persons during the
time They had been stored there, and
That they were supposed TO have
been destroyed at the expiration OF
ST.: months following the general
election, according to the established
custom or law governing the dis
position OF ballots cast in an cleo
ton. Just what viii be the outcome
of that contention remains to be
seen 1t appears to some that the
acceptance Of evidence from that
course may prove doubtful.
Relating 10 the recounting OF bal
lots in the townships named in the
petition OF Mr.. Greenway and those
named by Mr., Golden's attorney in
his counter petition, it would require
at least week for the recount tc
be completed It would, it is said
BIZ necessary to rc-canVass the bal
lots in open court. In that even,
the case likely viii drag throughout
the present week. 1t is likely that
the recount OF the ballots in the
townships named will be the point
upon which decision in the cause
will be based
The contest is being conducted
before Judge Dandy and about the
only cost of the proceedings to the
county will be the salary of the
judge, it is said. The result Of the
trial will determine which of the
two candidates, Golden or Greenway,
is to be the legally designated NOM
inee OF the Democratic party for
county weigher at the general cleo
ton in November.
