A dispatch from New York says: The next

not. The United States cannot be salts

MCMAHON OF BIRDS.
Interesting Lecture by DR.. Mont.
gomery in High School.

DR.. Thomas II. Montgomery. jr, OF
the University OF Pennsylvania, yes
terday morning delivered an Interest,"
ing lecture before the students at the
High school on the Migration of
Birds" DR., Montgomery has devoted
many years to the study and research
of bird life, and has a remarkable fund
of data on this subject.
The route followed by the birds IN
the northern hemisphere In course of
their migrations is parallel to the
coast lines and water courses, the
speaker stated. The fowls always fol-
low lines Of water because of the bet
ter food to be secured along these
places. Birds do not travel by day. as
is popularity supposed, but by night.
The average elevation above the earth
where the feathered ones fly is two
miles. Birds, DR.. Montgomery declared,
do not go south from here i'm the win
ter because of the cold. but because
they are unable to obtain the proper
rood during the cold season.
The bird is an animal which finds IL
exceedingly difficult to give up a habit.
II IL due to this fact that pretty near
absolute proof Is obtained that Italy
and Africa were once united In
migrating they always fly across the
seas separating these two divisions of
land, but 1t Is quite observable that
TINS little animal avoids crossing large
areas of water whenever possible.
Hence the conclusion is arrived at that
italy and Africa were at some distant
time one tract of land

MOIR'S APPOINTMENTS.
They Will Be Announced by Him
Some Time Tomorrow Night
He Says.

Recorder Moir stated to "a Tribune
man yesterday afternoon that he would
probably announce the names of his
appointeeS sometime Sunday night.
They will be sworn In on Monday
morning and will at once be expected
to assume the duties of their respective
offices.
When asked if he would appoint Il
DELINQUENT tax collector, despite the
act that the reorganization ordinance
provides that the city treasurer shall
act as that official, the recorder replied
that he would.
II have it on the very best of authOr-
ity," he said, that separate delln-
quent tax collector must be appointed,
and | shall act accordingly"
The recorder said that if the deln-
quent tax collector is appointed his
salary will have to be provided for in
the appropriation orcmance for the
coming year. He said, also. that he
will appoint the five police magistrates
provided for by the ripper bill. The
ordinance creating these offices and
fixing the salary has not yet been
passed, so that the appointees will he
placed in the rather peculiar position
appointment to an Office With no defi-
mite salary in view.
Those members of the police and fire
forces who are to be retained will be
summoned to the city hall on Monday
afternoon and re-appointed by the di-
rector of public safety. They will be
at once sworn in. 1t is generally under
stood that any other removals or an
pointmentS of subordinate officials to
be made by the several heads of de-
partments will be made on Monday
afternoon also.
1t will not be necessary to pass sep
arate ordinances providing for the ap-
pointmcnt of twenty-five additional
permanent men provided for in the re-
organization ordinance. They will be
appointed by the director of public
safety just as soon as the appropria-
tion ordinance Is passed; providing, OF
course, that this ordinance contains
provision for their salaries.

ARE TYPICAL VAGRANTs.
Three Tramps Exiled from Buffalo
Committed to County Jail.

Lena Paraletto. of 225 Raymond
court, was fined 80 by Alderman Kas-
son in police court yesterday for keep
ing n disorderly house.
At the same time of her arrest three
boys who gave their names as Daniel
Fell, of Philadelphia; Joe Wand, Pitts
burg, and Joe Hufford, Of st. Louis,
We're taken into custody by the police
on the charges of being inmates of a
disordcrly house and vagrancy. Fell
and Wand are each is years of age
while Hufford is 10.
The boys are trampS and are believed
tO have come from Buffalo. Recently
there has been Il great exodus of va
grants, bcggars and the like from. that
city, due to the determined effort of
the Buffalo authorities TO rid the city
OF such characters.
These young fellows arrested Thurs
day night have undoubtedly been eX-
PEELED from Buffalo, as a large guam
tity of printed cards bcmoaning fate
and besecching aid was found upon
them. The boys were committed to
the county Jail for six months in de-
fault of SO fines.
