TT A BIRD OF LIGHT. sH
The Arctic Tern Shuns the Night by
Flights From Pole to Pole.

no ArCLiC cTn SnunS the NfSNt pY
Flights From Pole to Pole.
1t used to be thought that the golden
plover bore off the palm for length Of
fight between summer and winter
homes. but an article in the National
Geographic Magazine awards that dis
tinction TO the arctic tern. This bird
breeds as far north as 1t can find any
thing stable on which to construct its
nest 1t has been found within seven
and half degrees Of the pole itself
And that nest was found surrounded
by wall of newly fallen snow. which
the mother bird had carefully scooped
out from round her chick.
The tern arrives in the far north
about June Is and leaves again for the
south toward the last of August. when
the young are able to fly strongly. Two
or three months later the birds are to
be found skirting the edge of the ant
arctic continent. 1900 miles away.
What their track is over that vast
space no one yet knows. few indi-
viduals are occasionally seen along the
New England or Long Island coast
in the fall, but the flocks of thousands
and thousands of these gregarious birds
which alternate from pole to pole have
never been met by any trained observ-
er competent to learn their preferred
path and their time schedule. They
must travel at least $50 miles each
day-apart from their flights in search
or in pursuit OF food-to carry them
within ten or twelve weeks from one
end of the world to the other.
The arctic terms enjoy more hours
of sunlight than any other creatures
on the globe. The sun never sets dur
ing their stay at their northern nest
ing grounds. and during their stay in
the south they have two months OF
continuous sunlight and practical day
light for two months more. The birds
have twenty-four hours of daylight for
between six and eight months of the
year.

Of no little anxiety to the health an
