Migration Of Birds.

No scientific question has been more
discussed with fruitless result than
the object and the significance of the
migration of birds, toward the tropics
in the autumn and toward the poles in
the spring. 1t would be easy to suppose
that the autumnal migration is in
search of food if it were not for the
fact that in the spring the birds leave
abundant supplies of food in the warm
regions, and arrive in the colder re-
gions even before vegetation is far ad-
vanced. Another suggestion, tina. the
migration north is for breeding pur-
poses, is disproved by the fact that the
migratory habit is found in birds that
do not breed until the second or third
year. Prof. f. A. Schafer. in an ad.
dress before the Scottish Natural His
tory society has suggested and ar
gued plausibly that the explanation Is
TO be found in the search for light
The polar regions are dark in winter
and the days are short in the temper
ate zones. On the other hand, the
days are longer in high latitudes than
in the tropics between the spring and
the autumnal equinoXes Birds are
voracious feeders, and occupy most OF
the daylight in seeking food; and they
are greatly dependent upon their eyes
in the search. Some confirmation OF
this theory is found in the fact that
birds do not start on their Journeys
southwark or northward impelled by a
change in the temperature, for they
take their flight southwark in warm
autumns and northward in cold
springs, on practically the same days
of the month as in other years. The
theory is at least interesting and
worthy of further study.

Sunday School Lessons for the World

year they gather to make this choice.

Teheran, Persia.-An attempt was

assassinate the shah of Persia by a
bomb. His majesty was not hurt.
Three of the Outriders who were ac'
companying him at the time were
killed. The shah owes his escape to
the precautions taken to protect him
from just such an attempt as was
made Friday afternoon. He was on
his way to nearby town where he
intended to pass few days. The pro
cession had left the palace and was
traversing a narrow street when two
bombs were hurled down at it from
the roof of house. One exploded in
the air, but the other struck the
ground near the shah's automobile,
This missile in exploding killed the
three outriders, wounded the chauf'
feur and score of bystanders and
shattered the vehicle.
The shah, however, was not in his
automobile. He had taken the pre-
caution to send the motor car on ahead

INDIAN SENATORS IN TILT.
Controversy Between Curtis and Over
Soothed by Carter.

Washington.-One of the most dra.
matte scenes ever witnessed in the
senate was enacted Thursday when
Senator Robert L. owen of Oklahoma
insisted in tragic tones and with face
showing much emotion that the five
civilized tribes of Indians were dead
and that he as a member of the tribe
of Cherokee Indians was not under the
control of the secretary of the interior.
The event was rendered all the more
interesting by the fact that Senator
Owen was sharply engaged in contro.
versy by Senator Charles Curtis,
(Kan.) himself Kaw Indian. 1t was
the first time that two men with
Indian blood in their veins had ever
locked horns as senators in the SEN
ate chamber. Senator Carter came to
the rescue and attempted to show
that both senators were right.
