D eminent Austrian ornithologist''

An "emlnent Austrian Ornithologist"
Is credited with the statement that Ger.
tain birds migrate because they like
to travel" He says that fear of cold
hardly can be the cause Of migrating
birds quitting northern climates on the
approach OF winter and returning In
the spring. for "many species quite as
delicate as those which migrate south
ward easily Withstand the rigOrs Of the
winter" Hence the movement IL to be
accounted for by the theory that the
migrating birds have an Irresistible
humOr for travelling. This IL well
enough, but there must be some SUI
dcient cause for that irresistible hui
NOR" and 1t Is natural to suppose that
cause Is desire for food. The birds
migrate because the sad experience
Of their ancestors developed In the de.
scendents III instructive apprecia lion
OF the fact that the food they wish Ia
not attainablc In the northern land
during winter. The return In the spring
may be explained by reference to a
similar instinct recognizing the north
ern land rs the original home for the
species as for Its individual members,
that being the breeding ground.

With the passage Of the arbitration

the Industrial history Of Illinois opens.
Just what that chapter Il to contain no
