BIRDS ON MIGRATION.
Make Wide Circuits to Avoid Long
 Over Sea Journeys.

The great autumnal exodus of
 birds is nearly over. For weeks past it has been going on, cuckoos, swifts, fiycatchers and nightingales leading the way, followed by swallows, mar tins, nightjars and score of others, while the rear will be brought up in about a fortnight's time by the chiff
 chaff, which is always the first to come and the las ito go.
 One very curious feature in this annual migration is the fact that the
 birds never fly straight from this country to their destination in Egypt or Arabia. They follow zigzag course First of all, crossing the channel at certain specified points,
 they make for northern Germany, wheer the great gathering of the feathered clans takes place There the vast host breaks up into four divi- lsions, the first flying southwest through France and Spain to the straits of Gibraltar; the second due south to the Gulf of Genoa, and thence across Corsica and Sardinia to Tunis; the third little more to the least. so as to. pass down Italy and through Sicily to Tripoli. while the fourth goes southeast through Aus Itria and Greece, and so by way of Crete to Alexandria. Then, on reach ing the African coast, they all turn due, east and fly straight on till they reach their winter haunts
 The reasons why the birds adopt these strangely circuitous routes is simply that they hate crossing the sea, and always prefer an overland journey. although 1t may be very much longer. And their great idea is to make the passage of both the English channel and the Mediterran- can sea at the narrowest points. So they willingly fly an extra thousand miles or so by land. both in autumn and again in spring fin order to avoid flight of fifty or sixty miles across the. water. And nothing will turn them from thees old ancestral "ny lines" which seem to date back to the time when the Mediterranean was a series of lakes and Britain was con- nected with Denmark by means of the Dogger Bank.-London Daily Mail.

by Cold and Fever.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

age. sturdy little fellow, recently en-
tered the school with the intention of 60
ing to his home at the White House every
two weeks to spend Saturday and Sum
day with his parents.
The fact that Quentin is under the care
of physician was taken to give color to
the report as to his alleged hazing ex-
perience.
on the first Saturday Of this month. a
school holiday. Quentin got wet In the
rain, and the following day suffered from
cold and intermittent fever
AS a result of his indisposition he has
been going back and forth between his
school and the White House daily, walk
ing a mile and quarter to the station
to get the train to Washington.
It is further explained that he is on
diet AS soon as he fully RECEIVERS from
the slight attack of illness he will again
take up his board and lodging IN the
school dormitory.
1t was learned today that DR.. Alexander
Lambert. for many years family physi-
clan of the Roosevelts. visited Washing
ton a few days ago and spent the night
there His call. 1t was said, was In con-
nection with the illness of Quentin.

FIVE BOTTLES TO A MAN.
Mock Tragedy at a Paris Artists
Dinner.

Paris Cor. London Express.
Twelve men. most carefully dressed in
frock coats and fashionable clothing. en-
tered a restaurant in the Rue Rambuteau
last evening and, reserving a private
room. ordered q sumptuous repast. for
which they insisted on paying in advance
on condition that nobody should enter
during the evening, including even the
walters.
For seven hours the sounds Of revelry
echoed from behind the closed doors. and
at In the morning one of the guests
came down and ordered an extra case Of
choice wines giving the proprietor at the
same time q sealed envelope, which he
made him promise not to open until after
their departure. For the next hour the
noise and merriment continued. until
finally silence reigned.
At o'clock the manager began to feel
uneasy. and knocked. but there was no
answer from within. He then opened the
commissary OF police. running as follows:
THE artists. poets. literary men and
sculptors and musicians undersigned, ing
sick Of the race for wealth and the shop
piness Of the present day. and disguised
with society. have determined brutality to
quit it all. and go to seek better days
Please to break 1t to our families as gent
ly as possible"
The police at once stove in the door and
found seven inanimate forms on the floor
The other Ave had made themselves
scarce previously. The seven were taken
to the station. and q. doctor was called
in. though 1t was feared too late.
The expert. however. quickly discovered
thu: they had only partaken OF too much
wine. When they had been brought round
they were sent to their homes until they
will have to come up for trial.
One item of the bill for the evenings
orgy was sixty bottles Of champagne.

ODD HOLSTERS.
Curious Specimens Of Three Species
Now on View at the Aquarium.

Curious Specimens Of Three Species
Now on View at the Aquarium.
From the New York Sun.
Just now the aquarium has an interest
ing lot of queer Holsters.
Among them are three locust Holsters
from Bermuda The locust lobster is SO
called because of its resemblance after
fashion to the locust. 1t Is also known as
mother lobster and sea roach. The three
specimens here are each about q foot in
length.
The locus lobster is chunkily built
and in color brown, but OF different
shades Of brown at different times. One
Of the three here now Is OF lighter
brown than the other two. and its brown
legs have around them color bands Of
bright cardinal and white. Very remark
able these legs. And there are hecks OF
that bright color on this Holsters she'll
and its two feelers or antennae, which
are short, are cardinal red tipped with
black.
It is probable that the other two locust
Holsters will come out with these colorS
and markings when next they shed their
shells.
All Holsters are strange moving crea-
lures, the locust lobster perhaps strangest
of all; in some Of its movements II brings
to mind the gambolings Of a young colt
or a young calf, and then people looking
at it are likely to find 1t laughable.
Another odd lobster here is big spiny
lobster, also from Bermuda. the pfevail-
ing color of the species being yellow.
This specimen is about three feet in
length from tip to tip. its proportionately
! enormous feelers being about foot and
half long.
And then there is here bright blue
lobster, which was taken In local
waters. in Gravesend bay.

Vessels Bearing Royal Names.

From Tit-Bits.
One Of the very strongest and most in
effaceable of all superstitions In the royal
Maya superstition almost as strong to-
day as ever it was-is that vessels bearing
the names of royal personages are doomed
to III luck. and. strange as it may seem,
there is an undeniable historical basis for
this feeling. Some of the most terrible dis
asters ever known In connection with our
navy have concerned war vessels with
royal names. Two vessels called the Roy
al James came to disastrous ends. One Of
them exploded, and some eight hundred
officers and seamen persisted: the other
ship so named was actually carried out of
the mouth Of the Thames by the Dutch
under circumstances disgraceful to those
in charge of the craft Then there IS
Royal George. that turned over and sank
in sight of crowds at Spithead, over one
thousand souls. among whom were 800
women being sacrificed. And second only
to this hideous disaster is that which
afterward befell the Royal Charlotte.
which was consumed by fire of Leghorn.
over eight hundred Of the very flower Of
our navy perishing with her. When. in
$685. the Victoria, new vessel and the
very triumph Of modern invention, was
rammed and sank in sight of the whole
fleet there was not a sailor. however mat
ter of fact he might be- who did not re-
member the dire fate Of a royalty named
craft Three years later a schooner
named the Royalist foundered In q gale
off Holyhead. while In 1891 q British
bark the ueen, was sunk and her cap
tain and six men drowned.
