BIRDS HAVE RIVAL.
0rnltholoyist Says Planes Out.
speed Fowls.
Col. Meinertzhagen Asserts Featt1ered
Filters Can Reach Speed Of 10
Miles an Hour.

Every one surely who has watched
the flight Of the sWiftor 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 sub
ject Of endless ~guesSWork and i%iieYita-
BILE exacgeration. Birds which are
incapable, even when at full stretch.
OF doing more tian 70 to 30 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 one
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-anthentlcated
speed is that of honiing pigeons, some
of which have reached Il speed of go
miles an hour over comparatively short
distances.
But now comes Colonel MeinertZ-
hagen. a noted o~rnithoIogist 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-
tions Of the flights 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 ascertained, is far be-
low what is popularity believed to be.
varying from 20 to 40 miles for the
smaller passeres to from 40 to oO miles
an hour in the case OF waders. ThOse
speeds represent steady flight, but
when a. bird is frightened by an enemy.
or when 1t is bouncing upon its prey,
il can be accelerated greatly for aim
tied time. He estimates that for a
short distance the swift can reach a
speed of 100 miles an hour.
The airplane, therefore, a greatly
surpassed the swiftness OF the birds
both in it's power Of sustained speed
and in It's maximum speed. From lV
TO 100 miles an hour can be maintained
by many OF the standard machines,
and We know that last year the racing
sneed was carried up to from $50 to lW
miles per hour, while recent models
are credited to be even faster.
Where the birds still greatly sur
mass the human dying machines Is IN
the matter of taking of and aiighting.

Pumping Plant for the Airplane.

Herr Fokker's excellent airplanes

grafton here. However, we note In
looking over the plans of his latest
creation. the "Fokker Fiji a passen-

made use Of a tiny power-driven pump
which serves to transfer gasoline from

this pump a length of rubber tubing,
normally cOiled up inside the engine
housing, can be taken outside the ma
chine and its free end inserted In a
gasoline can or drum. A few strokes
Of the pump soon transfers the gasO-
line to the airplane tank. and the

FREAK FIGHT BETS
Odd Wagers Made on Carpenter.
Dempsey Bout.
One Loser Must Shave and Cut Hair
Of Winner Until July
1926.

A Few weeks ago visitors to Scar

lizards in a busy street, with a peanut
as a ball and a toothpick as a cue!
1t was the result Of a wager over
the Carpenter Dempsey fight, says
London Tit-Bits.
Other peculiar freak" bets are now
being paid.
AS the result of Dempsey's victory,
Il certain barber will shave a post
office employee and cut his hair when
ever required until July, 1926. He
will also take him for Il motor-car
ride every Sunday afternoon for three
months. The winner had wa.ered a
tWo-acre crop OF rune beans on the
champion.
Not long ago a st~ceplcjack named
Howard balanced himself on his
bicycle o. the top of a ninety foot
chimney to win q bet of five s%hillings.
TIE machine was hauled up to the top
Of the chimney. and Howard mounted
it there, balancing himself on the
narrow ledge for about two minutes.
Romantic indeed was the penalty
paid by a girl who was the principal
party TO a curious wager. She had
two admirers, one a local lawyer and
the other a well TODD farmer. She had
refused both, although it was evident
that she did not dislike either. To

the contest were arranged. 1t was TO

mile was TO be ridden, another run. and
the third walked. The lawyer won.
A rash bet was made by a Miss
