MIGRATING BIRDS.
Shore Lines and River Valleys Help
Them In Their Flight.

Shore Lines and River Valleys hieip
Them In Their Flight.
Experiences of aeroplane pilots with
air currents have given to a noted
English naturalist an explanation for
the fact that some birds in making
their annual migrations fly along coast
lines and along river valleys. Judging
from aerOplane experience birds would
find it required less effort to fly along
such routes I'm the daytime water
cools the air on most days. and over
the water there is a downward current
of air, as indicated by the noticeable
sinking of Heropanes and balloons
crossing over pond. At the same
time there is more or less OF an up-
ward current Of air along the shore
line.
Upward currents of air greatly help
flight, and many kinds of birds are
known to take full advantage of them.
So the naturalist sees an opportunity
for birds to take advantage Of upward
currents OF air in migrating by day AZ
they follow the cOast OF u sen or the
bank Of q river Tie effect would be
most marked on the windward side OF
the water so that If the birds do not
fly along that side near the water they
ought TO. Whether at night there Is an

water is not so clearly established. but

framed by the New York Yacht Club
committee which appears to us most
unfair to the challenging yacht. We
do not say that the point is unfair in
the sense that the New York Yacht
Club has not the legal right to insist
upon il, because, as that club holds
the cup and frames the rules 1t is
obvious that 1t can attach to it any
conditions il pleases If the party
contemplating challenging does not
like the conditions Of course he need
not compete. We contend, however,
that the following condition is unfair,
inasmHch as it gives q better ehanco
to the defender than 1t allows the
challenger The challenger's water
line length much not exceed IS feet.
The defending yacht Is not bound by
this condition; therefore, If It Is found
that she would do better with little
mere ballast, she Is allowed to add,
the weight and increase her waterline
to certain percentage more than Is
feet. ~ 81 ~. ="

location of the proposed postal sub
stations which shortly may be estab-

One of the first things which Mr..

ing the duties OF postmaster Of Homo

sub-stations, at which time he an
nounced that he would endeayor to

Drug and book stores are generally
chosen as the places In which to In
