The Migration Of the Birds.

The cool weather this week has made
50 decided change in the actions OF the
birds and already the fall migration is
in the air and In some cases already be
gun. Through August the birds are for
the most part silent ana are generally
uunotIccd except by one who = looking
especially Tor them. With the coming Of
cool weather they move about more and
seem 10 Zoe getting ready for the gen.
vral exodus soon 10 come. Many Of them
that have not sung for month are try
ing their voices more frequently and the
young birds are being led on longer and
longer journeys to strengthen them for
the long flight The change IS most ap-
parent in the swallows and other birds
which get their food chiefly from the in
scots flying in the upper air. They have
begun TO gather in flocks comprising
hundreds OF individuals and in some
places they are no more To be seen
though they have not yet started on their
southern flight They gather CHIEFLY
about water where the insects are more
numerous and in a week or two will go
TO the big marshes along the sea shore
where they will feed for another week
before departing. The most significant
aspect Of the preparation for the migra-
tion is the weeding-out process that Is
going on by which the weaklings and
an birds in any way untitled for the
trials and hardsnips Of the journey are
separated from the main fiocks and left
TO struggle along alone and die by the
way. The family ties which have bound
the old birds to the nestlings count for
nothing when ii comes TO this wedding
out process and the less healthy and
active birds are left behind without cere-
mony. To all appearances the birds are
bewitChed by some new influence which
makes them forget their families and
friends and have but one idea, 10 get
ready for the greatest test Of endurance
that comes TO any living creature.
