Waterfowl have great powers of flight. The ecanvasback duck covers from 130 to 160 feet a second. The blue winged teal and the green winged teal, the bLinebill and the redheads are only a little slower, Matlards, pintalls, wood du.ks, black ducks and others ean easily fly faster than a wile a min. ute. Even such'large birds as cranes, Swans, pelicahs and geese can fiy ata speed of more than 100 feet a-second. The speed of waferféwl his often | been measured with 'great accuracy. Two men take positions on a duck pass 8 measured distance apart. The first man carries a stop watch and a gin, the second a gum only. As the fowl pass the first blind the timer shoots in order to frighten the birds into fan speed and starts his watch, As the ducks pass the Second blind the man there fires a shot, and the timer stops his, wateb.

There is an art in washing windows, and if they are proflerly polished the operation need not be repeated fof a long time. A really good polish will survive several rainstorms and will only require the dust to be removed occasionally with a dry cloth. The in- side of the windows should be washed with tepid water, without SOB Pp or pow- der of any kind, rubbed mois and polished with cheesecloth, A solution for cleaning the outside should be made from one ounce of pulverized whiting, one ounce of grain alcohol, one of liquid ammonia and a pint ef water. Spray the window with clear Soft cloth. ~Tiét this dry on. Afterward polish with cheesecloth or tissue paper. If the glass has been badly scratched a filling may be applied, This consists of an ounce of white wax dissoffed in tar Pentine. It should be applied before the polishing.--Washington Star. -------- There are many different kinds of Questions, but, can answered; second, those which 2 be answered; third, those which should® not be answered.
