 The direction and force Of the winds, except as they are occasionally intimately connected with sudden and. seem to have only a slight influence on migration.
 Most Birds Migrate at Night
 Some birds migrate by day, but most of them seek the cover of dark ness. Day migrants inelud@ ducks and geese (which. also migrate by ynighto, hawks, swallows, the night hawwk, and the chimney swift. The last two, combining business and pleasure, catch their morning or eve-4 ming meal during a zizzag flight that tends in, the desired direction. The daily advance of such migrants. cov- CTS only a few miles. and when large body of water is encountered they poss around rather than cross it. The night migrants include all the great family of warblers, the thrushes, fly catchers. viroes, orioles tanagers, shore birds. and most of the spar rows. They usually begin their flight soon after dark and end it be- fore dawn, and go farther before than after midnight.
 Night migration probably results in more casualties from natural causes than would occur if the birds made the same Journey by days but on ths other hand. there is a decided gain in the matter Of food supply. For in stance, a bird leeds all day on the north shore of the Gulf of Mexico. if. l then, 1t -Waf3ed untn the next morning to make it's flight across the Gulf in the daytime it would arrive on the Mexican coast at nightfat1 and would have to walt until the Following day to appease it's hunger Thus there would be 36 consecutive hours with out food whereas by night migration thesane Journey can be performed with only a 1G hours fast.
 During migration birds are pecu- Iiar1y liable to destruction by strik- ing high obdects.

LEGACY to Egypt.

Forty-five years ago Empress Eu-
genie, the emperor of Austria and a
host of other distinguished persons
were entertained with memorable
magnificence by Ismail, viceroy of
Egypt. The occasion was the open
ing of the Suez canal If the cere-
mony had taken place two days later
it would have synchronized with the
birthday anniversary of Ferdinand de
Lesseps. the originator and leader of
the enterprise. In 1898 First Consul
Napoleon hoped to make an island of
Africa by cutting a canal across the
Isthmus of Suez, but gave up the idea
in the belief that a difference of some
80 feet existed between the level of
the Red sea and that of the Mediter-
ranean. The concession granted to
De Lesseps' company will expire in
1868. Egypt will then come in for a
magnificent windfall.-London Chron-
icle.

RuIinas on Queer Wills.

The courts, writes Robert E. Helm
selman in Case and Comment, have
been asked to pass upon many strange
and mysterious beliefs as affecting
testamentary capacity; for instance,
belief in degrees of happiness in flu
ture state of existence, depending up
on the amount of property possessed
here and the charitable purposes to
which it is devoted; belief in the doc
trine of metempsychosis, or the pass
ing of the souls of men after death
into animals, belief that a departed
person to whose picture the testator
talked held the keys of the kingdom"
and could hear and understand what
was said to him, and belief on the
part of an Englishman who had en-
braced the Hindu and Mohammedan
faiths that he and God were one, that
he was next to God and was a second
prophet-all of these and many more,
as to some of which the words of Po-
lonius to Hamlet are true, that though
this be madness, yet there is method

SOME SWEET DAY
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. CR0ZIER.

There are many who try to cross
bridge
Before / is in sight,
] wish to say TO all that kind
That certainly is not right
If our hearts are right as we move
along
And our faith, as the days shall
That loving hand that guides our
steps.
Some sweet day will bring US home
To that blest land of the sweet
beyond.
That home of eternal rest,
Where we shall behold the Son OF
God.
And lean on His loving breast,
If We have accepted Him while down
here.
There's a welcome for you and ne
In that home prepared for His chosen
ones.
And will last through Eternity.
How precious the hope of the child of
God,
AS they journey along life's way.
To know that when we shall reach
the end
Well go to that home to stay.
Goodbyes shall never be spoken there
And where we shall never grow
old,
We shall live in that city forevermore
Where the streets are all paved with
gold.
Then fill us Dear Lord with that
child-like trust,
To ever hold on to Thy Hand.
And finally then fall asleep down
here,
And wake up in Beulah Land,
Where we feel some loved ones are
waiting for us,
Who we're long ago taken away.
We shall be with our Saviour and
then, blessed thought.
OF the coming of that sweet day
