MIGRATION OF r o
a Movement Reset With Many Perils aud
Many Difficulties.

Birds often lose their way: a cor.
trary wind or a spell OF dark. cloudy
weather appears 10 disorganize their
movements. and. like mariners without
a compass. they are nj a loss which di-
rection to take. Many wonderful
scenes are witnessed NJ the lighthouses
ON some par. Of the British coasts dur
ing the season OF migration. Some
times when the moon is suddenly hid
den by a bank o! clouds the lanterns u
the lighthouses are the point 10 which
the stream Of migrants hasten. and
where in a confused huttcring ihrong
they beat against the glass like moths
round "A candle and fly 10 and fro, utter
" bewiliered and completely lost.
They seem To have no idea Of their
true curse. and Hy aimlessly about.
many killing themselves against tho
glass. others falling into the water be-
low. The light-men are alert on These
occasions. and capture number. az
the poor lost travellers with hand nets.
Many OF the birds are too tired
or too dazcd 20 move and allow them
selves TO be taken by the hand a. they
sit on the balcony. Let the reader
represent 20 himself "a lighthouse on
one of these migration nights. The
tide Of migration is at its height. Tho
night is dark and the lanterns are tho
central point OF attraction for tho
countless hosts OF birds that were
crossing the sea when the sky became
overcast. Birds OF nan different
species are flying together or are ai-
trsctcd from all points Of the compass

and fly harmlessly TO and fro among

soon as the weather clears. and tho
