The second lecture of the Thomas
lecture course was given last evening
in the chapel of Richmond College, on
the subject of bird migration, before
as large an audience as could see the
pictures The lecturer Frank Chap
man, explained how In THIS latltuoe
birds are migrating northward from
February to June, and southwark from
July TO December, SO that our pro
life Is continually changing. In mlSra-
ton the birds do not follow the snort
est route, often they actually fly north
ward in their journey northward,
Oftentimes the course which a given
species follows is very narrow, but
the same from year to year The
golden plover presents peculiarly
interesting case, for 1t migrates from
its Arctic home to Labrador and then
by a continuous flight to Northern
South America, and thence to ArSen-
tine. But on it's return II does not
pass through Labrador, going up the
Mississippi River
The popular idea that the seasonal
temperature changes, prompt the m-
grations of the birds, seems TO be quite
erroneous. For the pelicans of Florida

| climate, .put 10 u place LOT nesting.
Through the ages all of the pelicans of
| Florida have been migrating annual
! ~ TO an island called Pelican Island
So that the migration is doubtless due
to some physiological prompting. The
migration of the birds from one hemis-
/ phere 10 the other is probably con-
nected with the secular changes of
temperature. Before the glacial period
of the earth's history, called the
Tertiary Period, many birds lived near
the Arctic Circle. The glaciers Of the

But as the glaciers melted, the n'ros
have gone steadily northward, as the

the wheat fields Of British Columbia
where II has never before been

Movements of Virginia Broods of Pest
Will BE Traced.
In the forthcoming annual report of
the Department of Agriculture, the
movements of the locusts will be traced
SO that the farmers of the State may
know where to expect visitations next
year There are many broods of these
pests, and much work is necessary to
forecast their appearance. In some
cases they overlap. There are few
broods in Virginia of the thirteen-year
variety. although most of them are the
seventeen-year. Sometimes they fail
to materialize at all, or are delayed a
year.
The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends that in sec
lions where locusts are expected it IS
! inadvisable to plant fruit trees as
they puncture the young plants. How
ever, the Virginia department does not
officially indorse this advice.
