Ostrich Classed as e an Error of Nature The full-grown ostrich sometimes weilghs more than 300 pounds and is a® much as pine feet high, writes Martin Johdson in the Saturday Evening Post. His most marked characteristic 1s the fact that he has only two toes—the third and fourth—on each foot. In South America there is another large bird-—the rhea—which is also culled an ostrich. This bird can be distinguished from PMie true ostrich by its having three toes instead of two. According to the biologists the original ostrich had five toes. However, the modern bird can probably run faster with the fwo it has now than could his ancestors with five.

~ Arabian legend has it that the ostrich is the result of a union between the camel and a dodo bird. Certainly it inherited some of the worst characteristics of both. [lts awkward shape, the uselessness of its wings, its seeming lack of pleasure in life, all indieate that it is one of nature's errors. i

The only weapon at the command of the ostrich is its foot. The terrific downward stroke of its huge toe driven by a muscular thigh the thickness of a leg of mutton is easily the equal of the kick of a full-grown horse. A blow from it will break a‘rib or the backbone of any ordinary animal. In addition to the force of the blow, the Sharp eclaw can tear skin and flesh like a military saber, : ‘

Powers of Endurance in Wild Creatures

Dogs and wild animals of the same family «re remarkable for their quickness and staying power in running Wolves will travel 60 miles in a night Nansen saw arctic foxes on the ice nearly 500 miles from land, and fourd thelr tracks in the snow on the parallel of 85 degrees rvorth. v Eskimo dogs can travel 45 miles in five hours, according to Hayes, who relates that he drove his dog team seven miles in half an hour. A Siberian dog on good ice will draw about 80 pounds; our ordinary dogs at fuil speed run at the rate of from 33 to 49 feet per second; setters and pointers can travel abont 181 to 21 7-10 miles per hour, and can maintain this speed for Itwo or even three hours.

Toxhounds are very fast, and in a recent trail one of them beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six minutes and a half. Greyhounds can run at the rate of 59, to 75 feet per second: ’

Many Uses for Flaxseed

Flaxseed is grown primarily for the production of linseed oil, each short ton of seed producing from 70 to SO gallons of oil, which is used in the manufaciure of paints and varnish, linoleum, oilcleth, printers’ ink, patent leather, imitation leather and sundry other products. The cake that is left after the oil is pressed out is valued as a feed for dairy and beef cattle and finds a ready market. A large part of the cake -produced in this country is exported, principally to the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. The United States is the second largest producer of flaxseed in the world, but, in spite of this faet, this country is alse the world's largest importer of this product. Our production ordinarily takes care of about 55 per cent of our domestic refifih’ements. This year the United States produced approximately 24,270,000 bushels, .

Less Rain in Future?

During the last half century the world’s average rainfall has, according te weather. records, decreased about one per cent. This has been. considered due to outside influences such as variation' in sunlight, but an Indian weather expert has put forward a suggestion for the decrease that is quite plausible, 4 ‘ He suggests that the lack of rain may be due to an oil film, less than a millionth of an inch thick, spread on the surface of the. ocean by ships that burn oil for fuel. Evaporation of ocean water is the chief source of rain, and this film of oil may be sufficlent to retard evaporation, * <

The day before Christmas, Edith, ten, had a number of packages tied up for distribution, The doctor felt of one intended for Uncle John, “That's some tobacco,” said the doctor, as he fingered the package. : “How can you tell?” asked Edith. “Because I am a good diagnostician,” he replied. : Then, as Edith seemed somewhat dazed at the big word, the doctor inquired : » : “Do you know what a diagnostician is?” : “Yes,” she answered promptly, “it’s a good guesser.”

“Man is never satisfied,” declared old Roswell Rickadoo. “The best fishing is always farther down the creek: Every sore-eyed farmer ' wants to move to town ‘and run a restaurant. The incompetent town man believes he could make a fortune raising chickeng. The lazy bacheior thinks he could manage the Belgian hare business. The girl who has a good home wants to become a movie actress, The man with the respect of all the citizens wants to go to the legislature. As the feller said, man never is but, always to be blessed.”—Kansas Ofty Star. 1
