Migrating Birds.

During many Of the nights in Sep
TENDER the inhabitants Of the island of
Helgoland are astir with big lanterns
and kind Of enormous butterfly net,
the former to attract and dazzle the
migrating birds when they come to
earth to rest, and the latter to secure
them. Mr.. Seebohm, the great author
ity on bird migration, states that he
has known as many as $1,000 skyiarks
to be caught on the island In single
night The migrating birds are always
interesting to the ships that ply across
the North sea and the Baltic. In Sep
TENDER they settle on yard arm or on
deck. rather tired, and the seamen
catch flies and collect them into recep-
tacles for the benefit Of the birds.
