Magnetic Storms Interfere
With the Flight Of Pigeons.

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are sem
sitive in some way to currents of ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore di-
rect their flight by the magnetic me-
ridians. This suggestion was put forth
by NJ. A. Thauzies, a French pigeon
fancieR, who declares that carrier
pigeons make poor flights during the
occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use Of
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability Of the birds to q surprising
extent-Popular Science Monthly.

French Women TenderIy Care
For Graves of American 30 s.

Aged French women in the villages
In the rear of the American sector in
Picardy have asked and received per-
mission to take care of one or more
graves of American soldiers. The of.
lection with which the villagers regard
the Americans is most pathetic. The
difficulty of language is swept aside
and the villagers share the American
sorrows and joys. In the villages
where American troops are bil!eted
and which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants and
teach them how to use them.

An Important Difference.

The gasoline situation in this coun.
try is not to be compared with that in
Europe. England and France are Ill.
most entirely dependent upon imports
of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack of ships.
1t is for this reason that the use of
motorcars for private use has had to
be suspended except for the most ur-
gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, is the worlds largest oil
producing country and is unable to ex-
port more than one-Qu&rter of it's gaso.
line production. To the extent that
gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil are used
for power purposes the supply of coal
is conserved.
