WONDERS OF BIRD MIGRATION.
Some Fly During the Day and Others ut
Night.

The manner of travel differs greatly
among the birds. Nearly everybody
has seen or heard the focks of wild
geese passing over in the night, MAX
ing tremendous leaps, so to speal:,
across the country on their way south.
That the shore birds bound to Pata.
gonia travel in like fashion has already
been told. Probably the great ma iority
Of birds travel south in great flocks
ut tremendous height from the earth.
They are thus able in pleasant weather
at least to see the landscape and so di.
rect their way unvaryingly. In storns
and fogs they lose their way, becom.
confused, plunge about among the tree
tops, fly through the streets of cities
and dash themselves to death against
the windows of lighthouses. TO my
mind this gathering of timid birds like
the thrush-birds that live the sum-
mer through close to the ground and
are never seen 100 feet above the soil
the gathering, l say, of birds like these
in great flocks that go careening high
in mir for vast distances over the land
by night is the greatest marvel of mi
grafton. 1t seems matter of course
that swallows should do so, for they are
tireless.
On the other hand there are birds
that are seen by day in "a ceaseless tide
OF migration" ''They pass leisurely
from tree to tree, cleaning as they Co."
says one observer writing on the char
acteristics of warblers. 1t is worth not
ing that the birds who migrate in this
fashion are peculiar in their habits as
~orkers-thcy never waste any time in
play. The robins, the orioles, the bobo-
links make picnic excursion of their
annual flight, but the plodders of tn.
frathered race must needs carry their
knitting to camp meeting. 1t has been
supposed that the birds who migrate
by night do so to escape the attacks
Of predatory birds, but these plodding
migrants are quite as subject to at
taclls as any. Besides, on the clear
nights when the night flyers go they
ire certainly subject to attacks from
owls. There are so many things we do
not know about the habits of birds
that il seems worth while to call attei.-
ton to points that may be disputed
in the hope that some who seek knowl-
edge out of pure love of it may turn
their attention to this most interesting
part of life in nature.-Colette Smiley,
In Chautauquan.
