An ordinary motion picture camera is only capable of taking from sixteen "to twenty-four shots a second while the human eye is even slower. The bumble bee proved to be one of the fastest of insects, Films of other species clearly revealed that the wing movement of the butterfly 'are only from thirty to thirty-five beats _ a second as compared to the 110 of the common house fly.

A thoroughbred horse is defined as having two qualifications: First, it must have an ancestry from noted stock, and, second, its pedigree must be recorded in the stud book for sev- eral generations--five for America and seven in England. ' A whippet can run faster than a horse for a short distance, up to 1C0 yards, but for longer distances the horse is superior. ¢ » » * * NOT A GREAT DIFFERENCE Although adult animals in the class of mammals vary in size from a mouse to a whale, a difference over 25, 000,000 times in bodily bulk, says Dr. E. E, Free, the eggs of these two ex- tremes of the mammalian series dif- fer by léss than twice in diameter and only about eight times in bulk. Mouse eggs are the smallest mam- malian eggs, he says, just as mice are the smallest: mammals, Buf there's not such a whale of a difference in the size of mouse eggs and whale eggs. Dr. C. G, Hartman of the Carnegie Institution of Washington has meas- ured the egg cells from which both |, the young mouse and whale develop. The whale egg cell he found to he about 140 microns in diameter--about 1-200th of an inch. The mouse egg was found to be 76 microns in dia- meter, or more than half the size of the whale egg. Dr. Hartman also found the human egg cell to average about the size of the whale egg. All .of which goes to show that many hig things have little beginnings, while some little things have comparatively big beginnings. - * » ALTITUDINOUS BIRDS. When it comes to high flyers some birds really go up in the air. T, H Harrison of Pembroke College, Cam- bridge, reports in Nature, the British Journal of Science, a flock of wild geese flying at an altitude of approxi- mately 25,000 feet--nearly five miles up. These high flyers were accident- ally "shot" in a photograph of the sun. Mt. Everett climbers, Professor Harrison says, have reported lammer- geiers, curlews and choughs (Old World genus of the crow family) fly- ing higher than 20,000 feet. The highest airplanes have encountered birds, however, is 15,000 feet up, while the average migratory birds do their jraveling flights below the 3,000-foo evel. ; pees How to Keep Young Forget disagreeable things.

"This announcement is made by David Crowther, who was formerly at the University of Minnesota, and more { recently at Columbia University, While the process is still in the experimental stage, large quantities of vaccines have been made, and the experiment continues, "Spores are wot destroyed at the pressure indicated, but whether this resistance is due to impermeability of the membrane to the carbon dioxid, or to the strength of the heavy walls or membranes of the spore enabling it to resist the internal pressure, is not known, Yeast cells are destroyed with difficulty, but larger organisms, such as weevils and eggs found in flour and cereals, are easily destroyed, either by using carbon dioxid, or by a change in air-pressure." take it in-| Engineering Some time ago, however, when ex-| cpemistry (Easton, Pa.), in a descrip Gn [rn SE TE ae with very little improvement.
