CRANES CARRY SONG BIRDS
Across the Mediterra-
Aean Sea.

| How ever the little birds contriye I,
get across such vast expanses of tn,
sea in their annual migrations is
puzzling question. That they do it il
usquestionable; 1t is admitted by tn,
most competent observers that they
sometimes get over stretches of bill

afford no perch for their weary little
claws to clutch ON. That such an ex
tended fight is too much for them i.
not only evident in itself, but is proved
by the fact that these too venture.
some songsters sometimes alight OF
the rigging Of ships in such a state Of
exhaustion that, when disturbed, they
are unable to fly the length of the YES.
sci, and occasionally even fall helpless
upon the deck.
An English traveller, WHO was con-
siderably interested in the birds. hap.
pened to be passing the autumn IN the
island of Crete, in the Mediterranean.
and he often noticed a sound like the
twittering of small birds at times
when the sandcranes were passing
overhead on their way southwark. As
the only fowl in sight were the cranes,
this aroused his curiosity and he men,
toned the matter to a friend, who
was native of the island, suggesting
that possibly the noise was caused by
the whirring of the feathers of these
great birds. His friend, however, said
no; the noise, he declared, was made
by the song birds that were riding on
the backs Of the cranes, and further
asserted that the saucy little fellows
had came all the way from the coast
of Europe with their good-natured
companions, who lent, if not helping
hand, helping back, which was much
more serviceable. as often as needed
A few days later the Englishman got
pretty conclusive proof of the truth
Of these statements. He was cruising
about in a boat about Is miles from
shore, when another flock of cranes
passed overhead, and he heard the
same twittering notes. He therefore
discharged his gun to see what would
come OF it, and forthwith he saw
three small birds rise up from tie
flock in fright. After a short time
they disappeared among the cranes.
The next day he was visiting Cairo,
in Egypt. and observed a great num-

there. After watching them for some |
time. as they hoped about and tilted |

their name, he asked m old Bedouin /
chief who stood near how he imagined
they got there, as they always spend
the summer in Europe. The sheik at
once replied: "Yakhamageh (my dear
Eir). do you know that these little
birds are borne across the sea by the
anger ones?"
The traveller put the same question
