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 sen sitive in some way to currents of ter restrinl magnetism, and therefore di- rect their flight by the magnetic me rldians. This suggestion was put forth by Nj. A, Thauzies, Il 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 surprising extent.-Popular Science Monthly.
