ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery

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 unfaillng
stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap-
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 mists. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night Is
dark. but especially when a fine ram 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. IS, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowflakes
against the lighthouse of Hellgoland,
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,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its 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 stars appear; then 1t is that
the straying bird 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.

A prominent Nebraska sheepman is
uuoted as recently saying: 1--WE are
feeding at Wood River about 10000
head and at a conservative estimate
400 900 will be fed in Nebraska this
wear, which is up to the best year Ne
braska ever had. Feed is very plentiful
and cheap and feeders who were com
pelled to drop out last year are in it to
make up for lost time. We intend
to export our sheep direct this year,
and have already engaged space from
Baltimore to Glasgow at the rate of
1000 head every boat, one Of which
will sail every ten days. think that
the restrictions recently made by the
British government will make a diff
ference of 81 per 100 to the American
shipper, and the outlook does not seem
very favorable for the next two or three
months. l believe more sheep are on
feed now than were ever on feed before
