SWIFTNESS OF BIRDS —lt has been caleulate , i .that a hawk will fly not less' than 150 wiles. an hour . Major Cart wright, on the coast of Labrador, found, by repeate&observations, that the flight of an eider .r duek was at • the 'rate of 90 miles an hour. The flight or a common croiv is nearly 25 miles an hour, and Spillanzuni Wand that of the swallow to be abut 92 miles an hour. L A falcue belonging to Henry IV of France, flew from Fuuntaii.bleau to Malta in less than twenty four hours, the distance being 1,350 miles ; and it is probable that his, flight was about .75 miles an hour, as i such. birds fly in tLe day time only.
