MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Andes Said to Be Responsible for Num-
ber Of Species Found In
South America.

The richness of South American
bird-life Is due to the presence of the
Andes more than to any other one
thing. II is the absence of great
mountain chains In Africa, which ac-
counts for the comparatively small
numbers Of species Of birds In that
continent. From base to summit, four
distinct zones of life-tropical. sub
tropical, temperate and alpine-are
found In the higher Andes, and each
zone has species which are confined
to Ii.
1t is not only the height Of the An
des which affects bird life. In places.
for hundreds of miles. this gigantic
range may appear as two or three
chains, each not less than 10000 or
1000 feet in height, and these eli.
matte walls are as impossible to the
species living In the tropical or SUBJ
tropical valleys they inclose as though
they extended to the zenith. IsOla-
tion is. therefore, added to the fac
tors of climate and sedentariness In
the making of the species. and the
three combined have produced a great
er variety Of bird life than is found
In any area of similar extent in the
world. The American museum of nat
ural history inaugurated in 1911 a BIZ
olOgical survey Of the Andean region
with particular reference to It's bird
life. AS result of the collections
and field studies made, the museum
is now In possession of large collec-
tions and data from the more north
ern part of the chain.

SQUALID PORTO RICAN TOWN

He covered the whole field of human life when he said, 'WhOsoevcr will may come

Knowledge blessed of God can make la man useful. but knowledge without the grace of God is dangerous.
