At recent meeting of the Wash
ington Biological society W.W.Cooke
discussed Bird Migration Routes"
paying special attention to the theory
that in crossing considerable bodies
of water birds either follow along ex-
listing islands, or where islands or di
rect land connection formerly existed.
The speaker gave the results of long
and careful observation of many mi
gratOry North American birds, and
showed that in passing from the
Southern states to Yucatan and Cen
raj America, or in returning. the
small birds pass directly over the
Gulf of Mexico, where there has never
been land. Very few Of our birds
either winter in Cuba or pass through
it while migrating, while the popular
idea that birds pass from north to
South America along the Windward
and Leeward Islands is entirely in.
correct. Neither, as far as could be
ascertained, do birds follow certain
routes or ''lanes" in their migration,
but cover wide area.

Few people have any idea of the
enormity Of the insurance business OF
the United States. 1t not only ex-
ceeds that of any other country, but
is twice as great as that of all the
rest Of the world combined. At the
present time there is in the United
States about $12,OO0,0 100000 of life in.
surance in force including assess
ment business. This means $3.50 for
every man, woman and child in the
country, or $500 for every family. The
annual risks written by the fire insur-
ance companies are estimated at$2O,.
600, 100000, which is $3.50 per capita,
or $3.50 per family. Thus it will be
seen that every family in the coun-
try on an average has insurance as
sets of over $4,000.
