Man Is Outrun By Birds And Beasts, But He Still Surpasses Snails, Worms
Washington—(UP)—Rocket-propelled man easily walks off with the world's speed record of 1,000 m.p.h. Jet man follows closely with 670.98. Third place is taken by the frigate bird, which travels at 261 miles per hour.
Honors are won also by the falcon at 200 miles per hour and the dragon fly, an insect which travels at nearly 60. The deer botfly almost cost man his record. It was credited with a speed of 300 m.p.h. until scientific experiment showed that at 64, the insect would become invisible and at greater speeds it would "burn up."
Aquatic man is a mere octopus. He is able to travel at the rate of four miles per hour by the aid of four appendages, barely keeping pace with a sea creature which is handicapped by as many more. Both are left far behind by the swordfish, fastest thing on fins, at nearly 70 mph.
Man, the land animal, can do 22 miles an hour. To the hunting leopard who makes 70, and the antelope who registers 60, that is a disdainfully slow pace. In fact, the antelope looks with scorn on the race horse which clocks off at 48 m.p.h. The lazy thing is almost as slow as a man.
Even man, however, must concede the sloth prize to the burrowing earthworm, which is slower than the snail. The snail travels at 23 inches an hour.

Chicago — (UP) — A 58-year-old dairy foreman said today he would "take it easy" for the rest of his life on the $600,000 he inherited from an aunt he had never met.
Rich Aunt Leaves 3 Million Kroner
Erik Gunnar Seaburg said he probably will give up his home here and his $79-a-week job so he can enjoy the money.
That's the catch in the inheritance.
Mr. Seaburn said he probably would go to Copenhagen about Dec. 1 to check with the bank about the inheritance, which he was told would be available at that time.
Mr. Seaburg said a dispatch from Copenhagen, Denmark told him that he would inherit three million Danish kroner, or about $800,000, from a wealthy aunt, Mrs. Heba Hansen, who died there recently at the age of 81.
"It's like a dream. I've been a working man all my life."
But the Danish National bank is expected to refuse to transfer the money to this country.
