for the year before, is well over
the million mark and still in
creasing, makes the report of
Sargent, the Commission
er General Of immigration, more
than ordinarily interesting. OF
course the tide of immigration
from Europe to this country is
an old story and it has grown so
steadily that it has come to be
looked upon as a natural and in
evitable condition. The fact,
is that it is the great
est migration of the human fami-
ly in recorded history. The
movement of the Teutonic tribes
southwark across the Rhine in
the middle ages was mere child
play to the present movement,
and the invasion of Russia by the
hordes Of Genghis Khan was a
Coney Island excursion to 1t.
The present invasion is a peace
full one we may be thankful to
say, and it is good in a way for it
throws into the country mixed
blood of many nations, which,
as scientists declare, builds up
the best race of people. But it
gives the United States an aw-
full lump to leayen, and it is up
to the best leaders of thought in
the country to see that the for
eign mass is properly assimilared
into good citizens.
The most of the new corners,
according to the report, are
young men and those in the
prime of life. Less than 10000
of the immigrants last year were
over IS years old and there were
1876, POP under IA years old. All
the rest were between IA and IS.
There were two men and boys to
every woman and girl. The bulk
of the immigration was from
Russia and Italy, but there were
all sorts in large numbers, Hol-
landers, Roumanians, French,
Austrians and English. The
Scotch and the Germans brought
the most money with them and
the Russian Jews the least. The
latter, as a rule, were glad to be
able to get here at all and had
little except the clothes they
wore and the necessary cash, $50,
TO pass the immigration inspec-
tors and prevent their being
classed as paupers and deported.
Perhaps the most serious
phase of the immense Influx was
the persistence with which the
immigrants chung to the big cit

Birds Travel Along Routes

The routes by which birds pass
to and from one country to an
other in spring and autumn are
regularly followed. Que great
thoroughfare, Of course, is 10 the
spring from south to north, and
conversely in the autumn from
north to south; a third southeast
to northwest; another is southwest
to north east, with the return into
the same starting points, says the
Scotman.
The great southern wintering
region is south of the north of
Africa and extends to far beyond
the equator, and from it, under the
breeding instinct in spring, birds
hurry away to disperse themselves
over the wide spreading palaeartic
or uorehern lands, which extend
as far, in the case of soma species,
as long way within the arctic cir
Gle South of the equator during
the northern winter the migrants
fly toward thesouth pole to breed :.
The seasonal range limit of some
OF the northern breeding birds is
enormous several extending from
Patagonia to Greenland
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
| fly shorter, distances. The best
known of all birds of passage, the
swallow has one of the longest ran
ees from 1000 to 10000 miles
La this extended range are also IN
cluded such birds as the gray plo-
yer, the knot, the pectoral and cur
lew and sandpipers and the Aslatic
golden ployer.
The long range from 5000 to
1000 miles includes sucl! wei!
known birds as the cuckoo, the
corncrake, the sedge warbler, the
greenshank; the moderate range
from 5000 to 5000 miles en-
braces the turtle dove, the crane,
lapwing, msllard and jack snipe;
the third range-from one1 900 to
1000 miles such birds as the
wood chat shliek, the stone cur
lew, the woodcock and black kern
and In what is called the restrict
ed area with a mileage Of 1000
miles downward there are the
waxwings, several guIls and the
elder duck.

According to reliable reports
there are many school districts in
