ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
nR bird Migration.

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge Of the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts. On starlight nights strag-
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when fine rain Is,
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. 2S. 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfiakes
against the lighthouse Of Heligoland.
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Hellgoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, it was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
.birdssflying over inland cities. The ex-
perIenced observer recognizes by It's call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stare appear; then 1t is that
the straying b:el loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve in that capacity.

How q Boston Girl Startled Some Dig

A girl got into an open electrician

A tiny chain had been. fastened about

held one end Of 1t, while the captive took
various runs on to her shoulder or over
