Mysterious Chimney Swift.

Much has been learned about bird
migration but much vet remains to DC
learned. and the following is one Of
the most curious and interesting OF the
unsolved problems. The chimney-swift
is one of the most abundant and best
known birds of eastern United States.
With troops of lodgings catching
their winged prey as they 90, and
lodging by night in tall ehimnevs, the
fiocks drift slowly south joining with
other bands, until on the northern
coast of the Gulf of Mexico they De-
come an innumerable host. Then they
disappear. Did they drop into the wa
ter or hibernate in the mud, as was be
lieyed of old, their obliteration could
not be more complete. In the las
week in March a joyful twittering far
overhead announces their return to the
Gulf coast, but their hiding place dur
ing the intervening five months is
still the swift s secret.
