WHY=====
Some Varieties of Birds Lose
Their Power of Flight
Scientists bope tlmt a wingless Ply
mouth Hock rooster, now In tlie Na
tional Zoological park, may throw
some light on the problem of why
some species of birds lose their power
of flight, as well as on the evolution
ary origin and mechanism of flying,
says the Washington Star. -
This bird Is a normal specimen in
every respect, except that it lias no
wings. Wingless specimens of nor
mally winged birds reported hitherto
have died shortly after birth, but ap
parently the normal progress of this
rooster In the egg went on without the
disturbance of anything except the
flight mechanism.
Dr, Herbert Friedman, curator of
birds of the Smithsonian institution,
who obtained the bird from Hose Hill,
Ivy., hopes* to find out from blm what
happened to inhibit the growth of
wings—provided dissection shows he
has no rudimentary wing hones Inside
his body.
This is the case with some wingless
fumilies, such as tiie kiwis of New Zea
land. They have wings which do not
"come out." The wings of birds are
modifications of the same structures
which became the front legs, or the
arms, of a mammal.
Doctor Friedman will attempt to
establish the point of failure in the
development of the rooster. This may
serve as a key to the general problem
of the physical mechanism of bird
flight and of Its loss in some species,
not yet understandable from normal
embryological material.
The earliest known birds, such as
the fantastic archaeopteryx, possessed
well developed wings. Loss of the
powr-'of flight Is held to represent a
degenerative rather than a primitive
condition among living birds.
Why Tree* Do Not Bear,
Not Hard to Figure Out
Thrifty foliage, free from Insects
and disease. Is essential to fruit pro
duction. Leaves on weakened trees
cannot build enough fond for flower
bud formation on which the fruit de
pends. Cold weather, also, may kill
buds and Injure other parls of the
tree.
In addition, pollination affects the
set of fruit, and hail weather may In
terfere with pollination. Other fac
tors that Influence fruit production are
abundance of water, well-drained soil,
tree nourlshr.ent, and orchard prac
tices, such as pruning, cultivation, fer
tilization, and spraying. Several of
these conditions can be partially con
trolled by man.
Why It It Leap Year
A year is not an arbitrary period of
time, but the approximate time re
quired for the earth to make one cir
cuit of Its orbit around the sun. The
time actually required for this circuit
is not 305 days, but 305 days, 5 hours,
48 minutes and 40 seconds. By add
ing a day every fourth year we take
care of these excess hours. But in
the course of a century we have add
ed almost a day too much. The years
divisible by 100 are therefore not leap
years, except when they are also di
visible by 4(H). Thus liHH) was not a
leap year, but 2tHH> will lie. All this Is
in accordance with the calendar ar
rangement worked out by astronomers
under the patronage of Pope Greg
ory XIII about 15S2.
Why Parachute Ha» Hole
In the ty[ie of parachute most wide
ly used Is a hole in the center of the
top. The hole relieves the pressure
set up as the 'chute opens and air Is
compressed beneath the parachute can
opy. Also the hole tends to prevent
the rider from swinging from side to
side as the parachute descends. Such
swinging, thirty feet below the 'chute
Itself, could result In severe injury
In landing. By permitting the air com
pressed beneath the canopy to escape
through the hole, the tendency of Hie
canopy to swing (to permit flit escape
i t air from beneath the canopy’s edge)
is greatly lessened. Due to an elas
tic band arrangement about the hole,
the size of the aperture is increased
as air pressure Is applied.
Why Kindergarten* Were Started
They were established about 75
years ago, when the country was first
awakening to the social problem
