Gertrude jtggled the receiver hook

All right, Gertrude Is that all for
today?"
Yes, thank you, that is all Good

She hung up the receiver
That night at the supper table It
was clearly evident that Gertrude was
elated about something But she
wouldn't say anything concerning her
conversation with the fairy, for she
wanted to surprise her mamma when
the candy came.
When she went 10 he'd. Gertrude

her heart thumped with intense ex-

When the Birds Say "Good-by

The birds are getting ready for their
flights to their winter homes With
the same questioning ve watch them
as have men throughout all the past
centuries. Food Is stili as abundant
as at any part OF the year, the weather
Is stu GO warm that only knowledge
Of previous years tells us winter Is
coming; but, no matter, the birds are
going.
The old ones have raised their
young and cared for them till they
are = Ai4- ta4-eaH4- far 4fefstaeipesI, ietif
work in their nesting range is over
They are ready to go regardless Of
other matters, And they GO, Others
began mounting when the housesold
cares were over. and they start on
their trips to the South as soon as
their fall suits are finished
Perhaps the most people will say
that the birds leave because they feel
the cold weather coming on, Many
credit them with the natural ability
TO foretel the weather long enough
in advance to Fly away and escape II.
but according to an expert formerly
connected with the Biological Survey
OF the Department of Agriculture.
almost without exception the begin
nines of the fall migration have no
relation whatever to the weather"
A mysterious call comes to the birds
telling them to go TO place where
under average conditions they can
find sufficient food throughout the
winter That the birds cannot fore
ftell weather conditions and are by no
means infallible in their choice is
shown by exceptional cases when they
do not go far enough South.
In February. 1883. a heavy snowfall
and extreme cold occurred on the coast
of South Carolina, and thousands Of
fox sparrows. snowbirds and wood
/ cock starved. IT was estimated that
perhaps nine -tenths of the blueblrds
and pine warblers shared the same
fate Such tragedies in bird life
show that 1t is average conditions
which rule the movements of the mi
grants, a point which the Biological
Survey says is always to he empha-
sized in O consideration of migration,
That birds often fly right into the
face of a storm is shown by great
tragedies. such as the following, told
by Mr., Cooke;
/ ON the night OF March 13-l q, 1904,
an innumera BILE host of I.ap'and long
spurs, migrating northNa' r in south
ern Minnesota, encountered a heavy
fall of soft. damp snow, Weighted
by the clinging flakes The birds
dropped TO the earth and LARGE
proportion persisted. The death toll
on the hard, icy surface II two small
lakes was estimated at three qu 9rter
million. while the number 1t lfelcss
bodies scattered over the fifteen hun
dred square miles of territory covered
by the disaster was beyond computa-
ton.
A similar tragedy occurred during
fall migration Is also noted In this
one the destruction beacon comes into
play All have heard how birds dash
themselves TO death against the lights
having lost all sense Of direction in
a storm. But in this particular case
the deadly beacon was the light Of a
lake
The night OF October 10, 1906
focks of migrants over Lake Huron
were caught by a snowstorm and
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-10-12

forced into the waves. and according
to an observer on the eastern shore
five thousand dead birds To the mile
were strewn along the sands-only
part of those that persisted.
The conclusion ilrawn from the
many disasters such as these is that
birds are not at all able to
foretel when storm is coming on,
Often in the fall we see a flock OF
ducks or geese flying southwark and
we say that cold wave is coming
and that the birds have been warned
and are escaping. Perhaps the cold
wave comes soon and then we are
convinced that the birds are wiser
than we and know what we ourselves
have no means OF knowing. II is
more likely that back north where
the birds began their flight the storm
had already made its approach and
that by ranid flying the birds out
distaaced it.--Kansas. City Star.
