Railroad to the Black Hills.

The Union Pacific Railroad Company
has decided to construct and equip o
branch road to the Black Hills. Three
routes are to be surveyed this spring,
and the work of construction will be be-
gun as soon as the line is located. The
branch will probably start on Nebraska
soil. 1t is now barely eighteen months
since gold was discovered in the Black
Hills by John b. Pearson and six COM
panions. The pioneers had travelled lac
miles, and were resting on the bank of q
little stream. Being thirsty, the leader
of the party threw himself on his hands
and knees and bent over the bank to lap
the water. A fragment of white flint
quartz glistened in the clear water and
caught his eye. 1t was the first gold
foundin the Black Hills. 'Boys, you can
stick your pegs here, he cried. "There
is gold and we will have it." 1t was the
18th of August, 1875. And now comes
the locomotive.

Migration OF Birds-What Guides
Them2

Now, the question will be asked,
"How are the birds guided upon their
journey?" 1t is hard to answer. Nat
uralists know something about it, but
very little indeed.
We know that many birds, the geese
for instance, put themselves under the
direction of leader, and we know that
this leader is an old bird which has made
the journey often before. Many birds
are Matched 80 late in the season that
they are too young and feeble to make
the journey at the time their friends start
for the South. Therefore, they are left
behind, and, although they soon grow
up and become strong enough to mi
CRATE, they do no know the way, and, as
there is no old bird to show them the
path, they are compelled to stay through
the winter, and live upon such food as
they are able to find. We see from this
that the journey is not directed merely by
instinct but that some experience is also
necessary, for, if it were not, young birds
could find their way as well as old ones.
Then, we cannot understand how it is
that geese become confused and lost i'll
stormy weather, unless we believe that
they find their way by memory of the
landmarks. No one who watches troop
of swallows, when they are preparing to
leave us in the fall can doubt that the
knowledge of the older birds is very i'm
portant. AS the time for migration draws
near, these birds gather in large focks,
and spend several days in preparing for
the journey. They kept up an incessan
twittering, and often start off for short
flight in order to try their wings; when
at last they have learned the surround
ing country so well that they will have
no difficulty in recognizing it when they
return, they mount into the air together,
at a signal from leader, and begin
their long voyage to the south.
These noisy consultations and prelim-
mary flights would not be necessary if
the migration were entirely due to in
stinct and those who have examined
the subject the most carefully, conclude
that both instinct and experience have
part in it.-St. Nicholas for april.
