The Hardcst-worked Animal.

A mole's life Is by no means q gen.
tlemanly s%inecure. He has to work
harder for his pittance OF earthworms
than any other animal works for his
daily bread. He Is the prototypa
navy. His whole existence IL spent
in perpetuaily raising and removing
large piles OF earth by sheer force OF
muscle. In order to sustain such con-
slant toll, and to replace ard repair
the used-up tissue, the mole requires
to bo always eating. His appetite Is
voracious. He works like q horse and
eats like an elephant. Throughout his
waking hours he Is engaged In pushing
aside earth and ~scurrying after worms
In oil his galleries and tunnels with
great diligence.
The laborer, OF course, Is worthy Of
his hire. Such ceaseless activity can
only be kept up by equally ceaseless
feeding, and so the mole's existence il
one OF long, savage alterations OF la
Dor and banqueting. His heart, lungs
and muscles are working at such q rate
that II he goes without food for half q
day he starves OF inanition. He Is a
high-pressure engine. His drinking
is like his eating, immoderate in all
things, he must have his liquor much
and often. So he digs many pits in
his tunneled ground and catches water
in them to supply his needs at frequent
intervals.
He doesn't believe in the early-clos-
ing movement. Day and night alike
he drinks every few hours. for day and
night are all alike to him; he works
and rests by turns, after the fashion OF
the navvies who are often employed in
digging tunnels, or measures his time
by watching, Is 10 the way of sailors.

the FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
Tho wonderful Power that Guides Them
Through Trackless Heavens.

1u0 " ~ |" S"op
Through Trackless Heavens.
The subject OF the migration OF birds
is one Of absorbing interest: Eirds
come and 60 by o peculiar instinct. alb
sent to-day, tomorrow they greet "
from every tree and h~edgerow. The'r
departure and arrival are. governed by
IS yet unknown laws; their journeys
through the painless sky are directed
them to travel thousands OF miles to u
winter home, and in the spring to re-
turn to the nest OF the preceding year.
Volumes ha, . been written to explain
their mysterious appearances and dis"
appearances, but a. yes our knowledge
OF the flight OF birds is very limited.
We know that the land bi, ds which
migrate by night include species OF
more or less retiring disposition, whose
comparatively limited powers OF fight
would render them easy victims for
birds Of prey IL they ventured far from
the protection OF their natural haunts
during the day. Thus we find that the
bush or tree loving thrushes. wrens,
warblers, and wire 8 all. choose the
night a. the most advan'ageOis time
in which to make their long seminar
nual pilgrimage, while such bold row
ers as swallows, swifts, and hawks mi
CRATE exclusively by day.
Through telescope observations it Is
also known that when en- route birds
travel at an altitude of from one to
three miles above the surface OF the
earth.
Until we possess some exact knOwl-
edge of the distance to which birds
can see, saws u writer in Popular Sci
ence Monthly, we cannOt estim ite the
aid their vision Is to them while mi
grating. We know, howe, or, that the
avian eye is far more powerful than
ours, and it is far to assume that to
some extent their journeys are dire ted
by q sight which enables them to fol
low mountain chains, river valleys and
coast lines, and to distinguish distant
headlands Or islands. But. given the
impulse OF direction, there is little
doubt that one of the best guides to
night-lying birds is the sen Q Of hear.
ing. Birds ears are exceedingly acute.
They readily detect sounds which to lis
are inaudible. Aim st Invariably they
will respond to an init atom of their
n ties. When under way they con
stantly chirp and call. and when We
take into considerat on their AURA
power and thoir abundance in high
ways OF migration, it Is probable tina,
at no time during the night is a bird
out Of hearing OF its fellow-travelers
The line OF flight once established,
therefore, presumably by the Older
and experienced birds, it becomes
O comparatively easy matter for the
novice to Join the throng.
