condition in which an army of birds newly sprung to life, finds itself in a temperate country with forasng con ditions of the best and then suddenly finds itself face to face with frost and famine We can understand why the army pressed by hunger and cold should take up the march for another and better camping ground.
 Let us consider next that the bird army has left frost and famine behind and has found a place of warmth and plenty. The months pass on. the eli mate remains genial and the food supply remains abundant, yet there are signs of restlessness in the ranks Of the feathered hosts The fields and the forests of the southland at sun set still hold the army in battalions and regiments, but search at sunrise. and not even straggler remains.
 What is it that has sent the birds back to the country which less than six months ago chilled them and starved them into the deserting of It's borders? No one knows, and there are those scientists who. unlike most of their brothers who never are willing to admit any problem unsolvable, are not backward in saying that the mi grafton will remain mystery until the end of time
 Aristotle 300 and more years before Christ wrote of the yearly movements of the birds The scientist of today is writing upon the same subject and 1t may be that the scientist of more than 20 centuries hence will write of the migration and end his writings with the same old interrogation
 It has been said that the birds feel the touch of frost and famine and i'm mediately take mp their march This is true only in part, for with some species the southward flying move ment begins In August before there is even a suspicion of the yellowing of the leaf or smack of frost in the air of the night.
 In the month Of September the war. blers (family Mniotiltidael hurry southward. Countless thousands of them pass over the city and country In the darkness of the night They are mites of creatures, these warblers. be ing but a degree or two removed in size from tt humming- birds and the kinglets. yet they undertake unchart-

WHY DO BIRDS FLY SOUTH?

l they can ordinarily spare sufficient time by the way for brief stops in 1 places where food is abundant and cas- 1 fly obtained Under certain conditions. however as when crossing large bodies of water or re 1ns scantily supplied with food, they are sometimes obliged 10 travel partly. or perhaps even exclusively, by night. Excellent examples are the robin (Merula). horned lark (Octocoris) and most Ic. teridae (bobolnks. blackbirds and ori- oles).
 Birds of easy. tireless wing. which habitually feed in the air or over very extensive areas. migrate exclusively by day, because being able either to obtain their usual supply of food as they fly or 10 accomplish the longest Journeys so rapidly that they do not require to feed on the way they are under no necessity of changing their usual habits The best examples are swallows, swifts, and hawks
 If you who read this article on the migration wish 10 have an experience that will appeal to you as being little short of startling. take a field glass with two-inch lens and focus it upon the full moon. and then take up a nightly vigil. If conditions be favor. able you will see clearly the forms of the southward flying birds as they pass across the moons face
 There is no experience known to the 1 ,thi h,. hn interest that is held by this midnight ] study. It is, of course, better to have for observing purposes a telescope of power. so arranged that the arm of the observer need not tire at it's task. It follows necessarily that the larger and more powerful the glass the more sat lsfactory will be the results. For one fairly familiar with the form and flight of birds it is possible. with nights shadows falling all about, to distinguish and 10 call by name the | songsters as they scurry across the face of the moon.
 If the place of observation be elevat- ed. the interest Is heightened by the fact that while the images of the birds fall upon the eye their notes as they call to one another through the semi darkness drop tinkling down upon the ear. Though you may see them not. because their pathway does not hap pen to cross that Of your line of vision. yet you may recognize the call of the grosbeak, the twitter of the swallow or the "chnk" of the blackbrd as if marking the time for each successive wing stroke.
 One observer more lucky than his fellows saw sparrow hawk stop sud denly in its flight. seemingly in the very heart of the moon, and there hover fully a minute. while its wings beat with lightning like rapidity to keep it at its chosen lowering point The sparrow hawk thus poises before

 One big pink man with snowy beard defied rheumatism and wet cloth by pumping himself down on one of the drippy seats. His presum able wife, with laughing explanation that she was tired. seated herself in his lap. And when the conductor came along 10 collect fares she in quired, with the earnestness of one who seeks knowledge:

 The conductor spoke no words that could go resounding down the corri dors of time. He just grinned. and the passengers grinned with him.

WATCHING THE SAlTON SEA.
Engineers May Learn Formula for the
 Evaporation of Water

los Angeles, Calf plans which scientists ill the employ of the govern. ment are now carrying into effect are successful. engineers will have within the next few years. what they have never hitherto had-a formula of evaporation of water under given con. ditions. The field of study of the sci en:ists is the Salton sea. the inland body of water near the Mexican line which was, in ages past, a part of the Gulf of California
 The government proposes to keen from six to eight men on the ground for two years. These men will study the supply of water to the sea and will attempt to determine the reces. sion of the body of water-how much is taken by the atmosphere in a given period

striking. and what little straggler of the great bird army fell victim to that hawks rapacity can only be matter of conjecture.
 Thousands upon thousands of birds are killed every year by striking against the panes of the lighthouses which line the coasts of lakes and seas. The birds become bewildered by fog and rain and are attracted by the light which is meant to be a beacon of safety for the travellers by sea. but which proves to be the lure to destruc. tion of the wanderer of the air. Ob. servations have been made systemat- ically at nearly all the lighthouses under government control, and the fig. ures of bird mortality are startling. The student of the birds finds himself wondering when he contemplates the slaughter in the bird ranks due to the shotgun. and the killings due to fog and storm, that the question of the migration of the birds does not cease to be of interest because there are no birds left to migrate.
 Just a word on the good that the warblers do. In government report prepared by r. F. l.. Real of the bio logical survey this appears: Although warblers are individually small their numbers are great. and the quantity of insects they destroy in the aggregate must be large. In the month of Ma, when the apple trees have expanded rosettes of small leaves and flower buds, multitude of warblers of sev. eral species were seen going through an orchard examining these rosettes. and apparently picking something from each. An investigation of the trees not yet reached by the warblers showed that each rosette contained from one to 8 dozen large plant lice while similar investigation of ths trees explored by the birds revealed few of these insects"
 Watch sharply during September for daytime migration of the hawks. Some morning or afternoon you are certain to see the birds of prey flying in great numbers over city and coun try. have watched them travelling over the city from sunrise to sunset on one day and far into the afternoon of the next. You will see them from the great rough-legged hawk, the redtail. the red-shouldered and the others. down to the diminutive spar row hawk, sailing. ever sailing. south ward across the blue.

ed journeys that for peril and distance would strike terror to the heart of man, armed though he be with reason and foresight.
 The weaker birds seem to prefer the night time migration. William Brew. ster of Cambridge. Mass. has settled this point probably definitely
 He believes the reason the wrens. the warblers. the vireos and all the thrush family except the robin prefer the night journey is because they are afraid of the exposure by daylight, or are unable To continue such journeys day after day without losing much time in stopping to search for food. By taking the nights for travelling they can devote the days entirely to feed
 Bold, restless, strong winged birds migrate chiefly or very freely by day because. being accustomed to seek their food in open situations. they are indifferent to coneealment. and being further able to accomplish long dis tances rapidlv and with slight fatigue,

LYDIA E. PlNkHAM

Nature and a woman's work con- bined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffie the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women If the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and etfica- Iious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman'S ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years l had been suffer- ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what 1 suffered, and at times could hardly walk. About two years ago l wrote Mrs. Pinlham for advice. l followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women.'
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, twill do for other suffering women.
