Birds of PASSAGE,

The occurrence Of American birds
in this country raises the interesting
question, says the London Globe how
do they cross the intervening 1000
miles Of ocean? Can we suppose q
bird is capable Of sustained flight for
a sufficiently long period to accom-
plish this? On the supposition that
this yellow shank can fly at the rate
Of $50 miles an hour, 1t would accom-
plish the distance in fourteen hours.
And then 1t must be remembered that
this bird, being wader, would be
able to rest from time to time on the
water. AS regards the rate Of flight
attained by birds in their migratory
Journeys some interesting computa-
tions are to be found in Katke's "Hel-
lgoland as an Ornithoiogical Observa-
tory" His figures are 126 miles an
hour for the hooded crow, 20S for the
northern blue throat and 245 for the
Virginia plover. At the last rate the
Atlantic could be crossed In about
eight and three quarter hours. Some
six other American birds, including
the red crested snipe and the Eskimo
curlew, are recorded from Scilly is
lands.
Other American birds, including the
yellow-billed cuckoo, have been re-
corded in Ireland. And in connection
with this crossing Of the Atlantic by
American birds 1t is interesting to note
an apparent attempt to cross In the
opposite direction. In a British asso-
citation report for 1887 We read:
"At Rathlin O'Birne (West Done
gall, immense flocks Of birds-starl-
ings, thrushes and fleldfares-passed
west from December IS to %. The
nearest land to the west Of this rock
island Is America. This is not an iso-
lated occurrence. The westerly flight
Of land birds at stations off the west
coast Of Ireland has been noticed on
other occasions"
It would be interesting to know IL
any Of these enterprising migrants ev-
er reached the other side.

IMMIGRATION.
Demand For Labor Brisk In the North
West.

Demand For Labor Brisk In the North
West.
Under the new immigration act a
division Of information has been es-
tablished in the bureau Of immigra-
ton, and its primary duty is to pro-
mote the proper distribution Of the
new arrivals, says the Chicago Rec
ord Herald. The division obtains in
formation in regard to the need of
labor, the wages paid, the availability
rious sections Of the country, and
tries to adjust supply to demand by
catching" the aliens Immediately af-
ter landing and directing them to the
places where opportunity awaits them.
The chief of this division, Mr.. Pow
derly, reports gratifying indications Of
success and progress. He says that
he constantly receives appeals for
help, and these come from every state.
The great "unsatisfied" demand is for
farm hands," and, as a majority Of
the Italians, Greek, Galicians and 9TH
er immigrants are agriculturists, he
believes that there will be no difficult
ty in inducing hosts Of them to take
up farm work here. The bureaus ex-
perience, at the end of two or three
years, should be instructive and in
teresting.
Meantime the testimony Of the bu-
reau Is amply corroborated by reports
and occurrences Of all kinds. In CAL
weston the other day the mayor, COM
missioners and leading citizens for
mally welcomed a shipload Of immi-
grants from Russia and made them
| feel that they were desirable additions
to the population. The arrivals were
greatly astonished, for such greetings
were more than they had expected
even from officials Of the land of
promise and we may be sure that
Galveston and the other southern
ports will receive plenty of free ad-
vertising among the friends and ac-
quaintances of the immigrants.
| The Seattle newspapers tell us that
the competition for labor among rail-
roads, contractors and others Is so
brisk in the northwest that common
labor is quoted at SO a day. "The
Northwest" we read, never saw such
conditions as prevail today among the
grading camps" for what with min
ing, timber claims, homestead oppor-
tunities and railroad building the i'm
migrant who is brought from the east
or middle west hardly knows which
of the offers to choose and his pay
goes steadily up.

IA Even a toad laughs when he has
swallowed a large beetle and it begins

Magazine. 1t does tickle so! Ducks

Ia A common, everyday farm plow
was used in unloading the cargo Of
the Ammon at San Francisco, says
Popular Mechanics. The entire hold
was filled with 1900 tons of nitre,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used and picks and shovels were
too slow. AS a joke bystander sug-
gested they better use a plow. The
captain, however, decided to try the
plan and bought a good-sized plow,
and by means Of block and tackle and
steam winch pulled 1t back and forth
the length Of the hold. The plow loos-
ened the nitre as fast as a big gang
could shovel it into the steel buckets.
| This is probably the only instance on
record where a ships cargo was dis
charged in this way.

OBSERVATION.
Interesting Test Applied to Students
| at Harvard University.


at Harvard University.
After describing certain tests Of OBJ
servation applied to his students In
psychology, Prof. Munsterberg of
Harvard, in an entertaining and in
structive article. Nothing but the
Truth" in the September McClure's
tells how the same sound may appear
widely different to different hearers.
I'm my next test" he says. II asked
the class to describe the sound they
would hear and to say from what
source It came. The sound which
produced was the tone Of large tun-
ing-folk, which 1 struck with a little
hammer below the desk, invisibly to
the students Among the one hun
dred students whose papers 1 exam
ined for this record were exactly two
who recognized 1t as a tuning fork
tone. All the other judgments took
1t for a BELL or an organ pipe, or a
muff1ed gong, or a brazen instrument,
or a horn, or a cello string. or vio-
with as different noises as the growl
of a lion, a steam whistle, fog horn,
a fly-wheel, a human song, and what
not The description, on the other
hand, called it soft, mellow. humming,
deep, dull, solemn, resonant, penetrat-
ing. full, rumbling, clear. low; but
then, again, rough. sharp, whistling.
and so on. Again l insist that every
one knew beforehand that he was to
observe the tone, which I announced
by a signal. How much more would
the judgments have differed If the
tone had come in unexpectedly?-a
tone which even now appeared so soft
to some and so rough to others-like
a bell to one. and like a whistle to his
neighbors."

IA Some people scOff at the notion
that other folks actually disappear,
says the Hartford Courant. They
read newspaper stories to that effect
as a study in fiction. But there are
serious facts that prove these disap-
pearances do occur. Here is the ad-
vertisement Of the Manhattan COM
pany, a well known bank Of New
York city. This advertisement, pub
lished under requirement Of the law,
shows that one woman, residence un-
known, has owned one share Of the
company's stock since 1925 and that
142 dividends are due to her. Another
woman has owned two shares since
1866 and has 80 dividends due to her.
One man has held two shares since
1853 and another 16 shares since 1888.
This last has over $3,400 due to him.
The bank cannot find any Of these
people, whose claims run from $500 to
$4,000. That indicates a genuine dis
appearance.

AN IMpURI ANT CASE
Patient Cured of Ataxia Gives the
Entire Credit to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Mrs. S. c. Wellock, of ia Cleveland
Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife Of
an employe in the government works
at Chelsea. says:
"I had been troubled with nervous
ness for ten years and the disease
kept growing on me. Then l learned
that l was suffering from locomotor
ataxia. l had terrible tremblings in
my right leg which would get rigid
and when this happened in the street
| had to stand still until it passed
away to keep from falling. My right
arm felt as If a thousand needles were
pricking it. The sheet touching my
knee in bed would nearly cause me
to scream out with pain and both
knees were so weak l could hardly
stand.
"I had to use a cane and be helped
about by my son. Then the pain be-
gan to settle in the calves of my legs
and the muscles became numb and
quivered constantly. The cords un-
der my knees seemed to be drawn up
tight and the terrible shooting pains
in my legs would nearly drive me in,
sane. My toes became numb and at
times would prickle as If needles were
being thrust into them. My eyes be-
came dull and black spots f1oated be-
fore them. My heart was very weak,
"My attention was called to DR.,
Williams Pink Pills and bought sew.
eral boxes right away and soon felt
relief. I was SO pleased that I kept
on taking them until they cured mo
entirely, and have had no symptoms
of the trouble for over a year"

ceipt of price, so cents per box, six

Knows Whom He Can Trust.

Police Commissioner Bingham has
learned one important fact that will be
of aid to him in his official career.
When he desires to get the exact facts
about some large question that is to
the front in New York city he calls
in the newspaper reporters located at
police headquarters and has a heart
to-heart talk. AS one of them says:
HE gets it straight, and so straight
that not all the men of the force can
fool him on that one point"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Count Prosper D'Epinay. who has
been decorated in Paris by the British
ambassador with the Victorian Order,

ish subject and yet a Frenchman at

The island, of course, is inhabited by
a French-speaking population and once
formed part of the territories of
France. Both the counts parents be-
