Crows In Winter Quarters.

Much attention has been attracted
within the last few days by an appap
ent migration of an unusually largt
number of crows eastward and owe,
this city. It is believed that by stand
ing in one spot one might count al
many as a thousand crows passing
over the city within the space OF I
single hour.
When questioned on this subject tht
other day, Robert o. Morris, orn1thoi
ogist, said that of late great mum
bers Of crows have taken to winterlni
in the suburbs of Springfield, and thai
this year these birds are more numer
GUS than ever before. The eastward
migration Mr.. Morris declared to bt
only apparent, as the crows are just
as likely to fly in any other direction
and are not at present migrating al
all. The birds roost in the branches
of trees during the night and during
the daytime fly here and there in quest
OF food They have come from SEQ
tons further north, and year by yeal
exhibit growing preference for the
vicinity of Springfield as winter re

A Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific ocean covers 68,000,000
miles, the Atlantic 100000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 100000.
To stow away the contents Of the Pa
ciflc it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 94S,OOO. 900, 200, O0o,OO0,OOO tons.
The Atlantic averages depth Of
not quite three miles. Its water weighs
325, 900, 900, 000, 000, 100000 tons, and a
tank to contain it would have each of
its sides 430 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. 1t would take
all the sea water in the world 100000
years to flow over Niagara.
