glrdo Cross no Deep Seas.

Frank Chapman, of the New York
Museum of Natural History, mas been
writing about the birds of England,
which he finds more numerous but OF
fewer species than those in this coun-
try. Curiously enough only one of
hundreds of varieties is common to
both countries
A writer in the London Outlook
points out that no birds cross deep,
even if narrow, seas. The narrow
Madagascar Straits are impossible to
birds, though the North Seas are a
highway for them. Godwits pass
from the Nile to the shores of Nor
folk, though neighboring islands in
an archipelago may show no common
stock
All birds, with the possible excep-
ton of the sparrow, are stirred to
movement by different causes; wind,
weather. food, the bullying of parent
and other birds. Birds of prey drive
off their young. Martins love familiar
caves: successive ravens have built
on the same ledge for a century.
The Longer passages are only made
over shallow seas that once were land.
and when once a journey is made the
memory is strong enough to urge a
repetition. The change of home then
becomes not a fashion but an inherit
ed habit,

The Eastern Railway Of Mexico will

Repeated assays have shown that
the ballast runs upward of So in gold

are used to the mile, making the
value Of the gold $4,000 to each mile

are not. sufficient to make it a mining
proposition, but passengers will ride

departure from the usual course pursued

mestic use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full

entering into the compositio of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies Of KnO,C1l Composition.

that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
