BIRDS MAKE LONG VOYAGES
Records Kept In England Show That
Some of Them Travel Really Re-
markabie Distances.

The London Geological society has
a record Of all birds observed in Great
Britain and the British coasts that are
not indigenous to the British isles,
but have flown thither from the con-
tinent. In England 1t is said that
n~aturalists, ornithologists, lighthouse
keepers, masters Of vessels, coast
guardsmen, farmers and country
gentlemen report strange birds that
they observe, and always give the
date and circumstances Of their obser-
vations.
This list, it is said, reveals many
strange happenings. Birds native
to eastern Siberia and China, North
Africa and ting Arctic regions have
been observed In Great Britain, but,
Of course, this is quite rare. There
are, however, a number of recorded
instances of American birds cross
ing the Atlantic and being seen and
shot In England. Now and then
birds that are not strictly migratory
gather in enormous aocks and sweep
over several hundred miles Of country.
The cause of this action is a mystery
to the students Of bird life. Many
years ago. which is a matter Of
historical record, Turkey and Bulgaria
were invaded by enormous focks Of
the bird known as the r~ose-colored
pastor. These birds proved very de-
~structive to the vineyards and grow
ing crops, and the peasants had to
turn out In force and kill them. 1t
is said a flock Of these pastors would
strip a tree of its fruit in a few
minutes.

impudently. "For, IL you try to block

"Oh, Dicki" Elinor protested, hid

a cutting smile.

she said. "But that might make

"Elinor dear, come with me-"
"I-I-know / ought tc-but-but I
can't" Elinor walled. The car shot
ahead, the predestined parson waving
his hat d~eferentially to Doris. She
looked about her. Thirty miles from
home, a stranger, with just a bit of
change in her bag. The CASE seemed
desperate, but she rose to 1t gallantly.
Half a mile off she saw a handsome
house-a car was turning in to it
she hailed it, saying breathlessly:
"Please take me-in there. 1t is I'M
portant-I will tell you why later"
Later by some two minutes she
stood before a telephone, which the
wondering lady of the house had cheer
fully put at her service She got her
number almost at once-held a brief
conversation, at the close of which
she sat down weakly, covered her face
with both hands, and let tears Of re-
lief flow unchecked between her
fingers.
The license clerk looked the ap-
plicants yer compassionately. Eli
nor was so appealingly pretty, so
trustful, evidently so much afraid. He
cleared his throat, saying with kindly
gruffness to Dick: "Too late by just
seven minutes, young a I've just

Lane-to refuse you a license, as she

Dick burst out holly. The clerk
looked at him steadily. "Young man,
there's a law against kidnapping. My
wife will be here in a jiffy to take care
Of the young lady until the major

Swinging hard upon his arm, she

Keeping Cars Temperature.

It is desirable during the transit Of
fruit in a refrigerator a to know the
precise temperature In different parts
Of the car, for this temperature is sell
dom the same Throughout the interior
Of the car. For this purpose the De-
partment Of Agriculture has To- In
use an instrument which is described
in Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t
has twelve resistance thermometers
for recording the temperature at
twelve different parts Of the ar. The
instruments r connected by a cable
to a 12-point plug that fits a socket on
the recording box, SO that a circuit can
be established with any Of the twelve
thermometers. The exact temperature
is shown on a register in one corner Of
the box and a chart shows the loca-

Wood Lighter Than RaIsa.

The wood of a tree found in Pana.
ma, Cavanillesia platanifolia, is even
lighter than the celebrated balsa wood.
The tree grows to an immense size.
The branches and leaves are at the
very top and the trunk is like a huge
column. The strength of the trunk
is principally in the thick fibrous
bark, while the wood is so fragile
that 1t crushes when the tree falls.
