advantage Of the friendship and close

BIRD FLIGHT IN ENGLAND.
Mobilization Of the ..A,rnics OF the
AIRS Begins in Early, August.

NoOIiiLAtloIl ~ INC armies OF TIC
AIRS Begins in Early August.
(London Cllronicle.)
The great autumn migration of the
birds. which begins with the passing
of the sWifts in the early days OF
August, has commenced.
This great annual flight still retains
all it's interest. and much of its mys-
terry. for students of wild life. We do
not yet, and probably eve shall,
quite understand many points con-
corning it. IL is not difficult to see
that, as summer declines and supplies
of food become scantier, creatures en-
dowed with such ready and perfect
means of locornotion as birds, should
change their quarters to districts
where sunshine and all that it stands
for is 10 be found in abundance. a
gradual withdrawal to the warmer
richer countries of the South in the
autumn n a corresponding cNpan-
sion northward in the spring would
appear to DC the most natural course.
But the mystery. at least as far as
the rast proportion of migrant birds
is concerned, lies in the fact that the
words like blows as one listener de-
movement is seldom gradual and indi-
vidual, with each bird acting accord
ing to the cNigencies OF the moment.
There seems to be organization every
where, and a fine g~eneralship at all
turns.
August may he regarded as the
mont of mobilization for these great
armies Of the air, when vast prepara.
tons are in train, but with little to
show for them %outwardly. Every
where the birds are getting together
in f1ocks that daily increase in num-
bers. No doubt at this time the birds
which have passed the summer with
20 ~" largely reinforced by imrni-
grants from countries farther north.
= ."h a"e merely using thc British
Isles as a temporary hating place.
The SWifts pass on at once, and with
them the cuckous. But the great pro-
portion lingcr and accumulate until
the month is nearly out, and the
grand exodus begins.
It seems to be fairly we'll establish
ell, that all tho first patches of
autumn migrants leaving our shores
consist. in the main, of young birds
which have yet made this, nor
any other, long journey. How these
manage to reach their destination un-
guided over the thousands of miles
of land and sea is still an unsolved
riddle. Indeed, the whole question of
how. migrating birds find their way
between widely separated points is vet
Il mystery. 1t cannot be by sight, for
Probably the true explanation will be
found in the possession by all wild
creatures, in q lesser or greater de-
gree, of ii sixth sense, which may be
called the sense of direction.
