The chief places to which the storks,
10 numerous In Belgium and Holland,
migrate for the severe winter generally
experienced In those countries, has been
discovered by a Belgian nOblcman. He
succeeded In catching two hundred OF
tine birds and attached to each, either
round the neck or on one Of Its legs, n
label upon which was written his own
address. together with request that
anyone who caught or killed the bird
during the winter season would send
the label back to him. indicating the
locality In which 1t was found. The
next spring. ono Of the labels arrived
from Western Algeria, ana two years
later another came from the mouth of
the Senegal river. More labels have
been received by the experlmentcr, all
coming from the northern parts of the
African continent, which clearly shows
that stOrks follow the course of the
swallows when the leaves begin to fall
