The arctic tern is said to be the champion "globe trotter." A government bulletin says of this remarkable bird: "Its name, 'arctic,' is well earned, as its breeding range is circumpolar and it nests as far north as it can find a suitable place. The first nest to be found in this region was only IVt degrees from the North pole and it contained a downy chick surrounded by a wall of newly fallen Officers of the warships of a task force of the TJ.

All lovers of field and woodland have noted that on some given day in early spring it may be that not a bird will be visible, yet on the following morning flocks of them will appear everywhere, proof that they have come back in the night. HEIGHT AND SPEED OF MIGRATORY FLIGHT It was assumed at one time that birds flew at great altitudes, but, since man's conquest of the air, it has been realized that flight is in creasingly difficult as air becomes rarefied with altitude, partly because of the reduction of oxygen supply and partly because of a lack of buoyancy m the rarefied air. Therefore, although some of the birds with excessive wing spread, such as cranes and storks,1 have been seen (with binoculars) flying at 20,000 feet above sea level, the fact re mains that migration in general is effected below 3,000 feet. The speed of flight varies greatly : Flycatchers loiter along at 10 to 17 f ilMliai mid Hi " miles per hour; the g aw.aaa.iiiiii1Wainaw' mourning dove rarely exceeds 35 Mail time in any camp is a big time to the soldiers in Uncle Sam's miies; herons and hawks, timed and lifts an aut0mobile speedometer, army because it brings word from the loved ones back home, cai to za one out oi army me ior a Dnei iew miuuwj. ..M.v.a, nu nave Deen round to ny at are settling down to camp life in their new environment, are Pictured miles; aviat0rs claim that at 65 miles an hour they can overtake the receiving their mail somewhere in isortnern ireiana. fastest ducks.

NEED FOB PBOTECTION secretary of war, com his system to congress appropriated $2,000 for the "manufacture or purchase of apparatus and equipment for field signaling." It also authorized the appointment of one signal officer on the staff of the army with the rank and pay of a major of cavalry and on June 27, 1860, Assistant Surgeon Myer became Major Myer. The army's first signal officer soon had an opportunity to demonstrate the value of his system. He was detailed to duty with Gen. E. R. S. Canby's expedition against V Navajos in the Southwest, where an extensive test of his new system, using both flag and torch, proved a distinct success. The result was the opening of a signal school at Fortress Monroe, Va., under his direction and at the outbreak of the War Between the States, Myer was called upon to organize signal communications in the Army of the Potomac. Immediately after the battle of Bull Run, he submitted a plan for a separate signal corps but Photo shows Franklin D.
