The wing of most birds is so constructed that, near the tip, each feather forms a slot for the feather behind it and thus we have a very efficlent arrangement for low apeeds. _ Possibly, without this sysâ€" tem, birds would be unable to perform the lowâ€"speed, spot landings at which they are so adept.â€""Animal Life.." Most of us have heard of the wingâ€" glot invented by Handley Page. Jt has greatly increased the safety of MHying by preventing the serious reâ€" aults which often have occurred in the past when an airplane is "stalled." These slots are built into the front or leading edge of the wings near the tip, and when the plane slows down to near the stalling speed the slots open out automatically and give the wing greater lifting power at the lower apeed. ‘ It would be interesting to note just how rapidly the fastest hawk, backed by a strong wind, could cut through »pace! The wind plays such a part in flight 6Â¥ any kind that speed in the air canâ€" not be intelligibly discussed without some consideration of its effects. Exâ€" periments have shown that a carrier pigeon‘s flight when sailing with a moderate wind is 1,540 yards a minute, as compared with 1,200 in calm weathâ€" er. With a strong wind its speed is nearly doubled, or about 2,000 yards a minute. The hawk is a king of flight. With the power to fly 200 miles an hour, the sight to spy an object at twenty times the distance possible for the strongest human eyes, the muscular power to lift and carry away a large rabbit, and the courage to execute his designs, a hawk is a formidable yet an admirable bird. Such birds as the chimney swift and the frigate bird are often seen to fly alowly. They practically live on the wing, and are sometimes eating, sleeping or making their toilet when they appear to be loafing. ‘The latter can speed up to a hundred miles an hour, when necessary., For combination of speed and grace, aswallows are hard to surpass. I read of one‘s flight from Antwerp to Comâ€" peigne. The distance of 140 miles was accomplished in 68 minutes. It is interesting to note the differâ€" ent manners in which birds meet obâ€" stacles. Some duck an obstruction ; a quail jumps it, a snipe dodges it, a mallard swerves. A hawk will stand absolutely still in the air sizing up the wituation, then sudderly shot away 2i marvellous speed. Some ducks are eapable of great speedâ€"the bluewing teal and the canvasback sometimes exceed 130 miles an bhour; but ordinâ€" arily they loaf along and adapt their action to the needs of the hour. Birds differ greatly in method and rate of flight. Contrast a bat and an eagle; the former cannot rise from a perfectly level surface; the latter can push off from any place, at any angle, with astounding celerity, and rise to a height of 6,000 feet. A few other birds, notably the lark and crow, traâ€" vel at an altitude of five or six thousâ€" and feet, but ordinarily birds stay within 1,000 feet of the earth. It is ebharacteristic of birds of prey to soar in wide circles, but when aiming at a certain point the eagle uses the steady wing beat method. But it is true that birds do many "erazy" things. Moths and bats are not the only flying things that fy inâ€" to a light. A surprising number of the night fliers are killed by impact with lighthouses. The beacon of safeâ€" ty for man seems to spell disaster for the feathered night migrant _ Inciâ€" dentally, it may be remarked that the students of birds should give special attention to night study. More birds travel at night than by day, and they are generally of a different classâ€" thrushes, warblers, vireos, etc.â€"the more timid birds, generally speaking. it has been observed that migratory birds cross the North Sea similarly, sticking to a certain course each trip, Doubtless _ atmospheric conditions modify bird flight, at least to some exâ€" tent. A French student of pigeons‘ fight noted on two occasions that magnetic storms caused unsatisfacâ€" tory results, o Aomme Oamn SCV times, notably during the Great War. Birds in migration follow a définite course. . However erratic they may appear it other time.: they settle down to business when it comes time to change homes. At the end of sumâ€" mer the terns fiy from the Arctic reâ€" gion virtually to the South Pole, and scarcely deviate from a direct line in the 10,000 miles, Often it seems that birds in the air have no definite aims. Among unâ€" trained birds the robin is one of the few that really seem to be going some place. _ That carrier pigeons know their business has hbeen attested many Though All Else Go Bird Flight The fourth of the remarkable craters now known on the earth‘s surâ€" face and believed to have been made by gigantic meteorites or by swarms of these objects perhaps resembling the heads of comets apparently has been discovered in the almost unâ€" visited centre of Arabia. Some months ago the British explorer, H. St. J. Philâ€" by, crossed parts of Arabia never beâ€" fore explored by a modern geographer, At one spot he found a set of craters% provisionally identified by him as vol-i canic. He also found specimens of iron, apparently meteoric, and many pieces of glassy material, like fused sand. These specimens now have been examined by experts at the Briâ€" tish Museum in London, and lead to the conviction that the Arabian craters really represent the landing spot of another gigantic meteoric body resembling those which made the similar meteor craters in Arizona and in Siberia and the third set found only a few months ago in the wilds of cenâ€" tralia Australia. The Arabian craters, Mr. Philby reports, may be the largest of all. The Siberian fall, which happened only a few years ago, Ancient Craters Z is in the lead, there are no trumps and Y Z are to take every trick against any defense. This is a very pretty problem in discarding and a perfect illustration of the double Heartsâ€"none Clubsâ€"J, 7 Diamondsâ€"9, 7 Spadesâ€"6 The play of the hand was interestâ€" ing because it developed tho double "squeeze," one of the rarest sitnations to arise in Auction. Z opened with the queen of hearts, which B won with the B dealt and bid one spade, Z doubâ€" led, A bid two diamonds, Y and B passed, and Z bid two hearts. A and Y passed and B now had the choice of defending the hand with a certainty of saving game or of trying for a probâ€" lematical and very doubtful game in no trump. He chose to bid two no trump, which Z doubled and set for 500 points. There was no excuse for B‘s bid as the bidding indicated that 7 held a big hand. It is a good exâ€" ample of the wrong angle, too much to lose and too little to gain, and is applicable either to Auction or Conâ€" tract.

They all have their reasons for ; not doing so, but none of more origâ€" inality than the following. A player who had just bid one .club without a club in his hand and was criticized for the bid by his partner, replied: "Your criticism is unreasonable. _ I |have only on partner and two opponâ€" ents so that if I fool you, I am also fooling them, so the odds are just two to one in our favor." .

This tenâ€" dency was exemplified three times during the last week in games in which the writer was playing.

Camouflage bids are occasionally successful, but much more often they are boomerangs and the source of big losses. â€" Let the other fellow take such chances and you will take the money in the long run. The writer has referre many times in these articles to the tendency of Auction and Contract players in genâ€" eral to overbid no trump hands that contain four aces. They seem to be hypnotized by the four aces and overâ€" bid a sure game bid by their partners just so they can score the four aces.

It is a remarkable coincidence that all four of these dangerous falls, including the newest Arabian one, selected the most completeiy deserted parts of the earth‘s surface.

Third hand passed and the dealer bid two no trump. This is the worst bid of any, as he holds fewer supporting cards than in the preceding hands. ‘This bid was defeated by two tricks while, at spades, they would have scored five odd. Don‘t let four aces lead you on to a bad bid. Always make game the objective and consider four aces only as an incident A game is worth 125 points, or just 25 points more than 100 aces; so, from that point of view, the odds are five to four in favor of a sure game at a suit bid, rather than a doubtful game at no trump. | At Contract, the dealer should bid one no trump and, if partner should bid two spades, he should bid four spades. At Contrac‘, the dealer thould bid two hearts and when his partner reâ€" sponds with tke minimum bid of &%o no trurap, the dealer should bid three no trump.
