WAR HAS SCARED BIRDS AWAY
Luxembourg Deserted, and Storks, Il
Is Asserted, Left Russia Month
Earlier Last Year.

The war is having a great influ-
ence on the birds throughout Eu-
rope, especially on the birds Of pas
sage.
Last autumn the storks left Rus
STA and Galicia a month earlier than
usual they were noticed in focks of
thirty to a hundred on their way
through Austria, where they alighted
on the roofs and chimneys Of the
houses to rest before continuing
their journey south.
Other birds of passage have de-
serted their old routes of flight and
have chosen new air roads along less
disturbed regions. Both going and
returning, these birds we're observed
in places where they were never seen
before, and were missed in the locali-
ties where battles were raging.
In Luxembourg, where otherwise
millions Of birds c~ongregate in leafy
forests, there are now scarcely any
to be seen or heard.
AS an instance how the birds have
deserted Luxembourg, a nature lover
writes that "whole oat fields have
sprung up along the roads and in the
market squares Of the little towns
and villages where the horses have
been fed as the cavalry passed
through"
This would never have been pos
sible in other years, for the birds
would soon have picked up every
grain that fell to the ground.-Sci-
entiic American.
