southland to them A fourth class OF
birds. Of which S. species have been
counted, comprise casual visitors or
avagabonds' of the bird Kingdom, who
have strayed this way.
After explaining the theory of mi
grafton, and citing manv examples
from among the birds of this vicinity,
Mr.. Weydemeyer dwelt at some length
on the relation of birds to mankind.
The economic usefulness of birds, while
generally understood, is not appreciated
to its fullest extent. The quantities of
insects devoured by birds IS truly
amazing. Birds are able to eat their
own weight in food daily, and 1T IS
1stinated that their destruction OF
insects saves the farmers of this country
three billion dollars annually. while
their consumption of weed seeds re-
suits in savings of eight hundred mil
lion dollars. every year. Such figures
do not 90 far enough, Mr. Wevde-
never said, for it is generally admitted
by BIOLOGISTS that were all the birds IN
the world to be suddenly destroyed.
insects would in one season destroy all
the vegetation. which would mean the
wiping out OF all animal life, including
mankind
Following his talk, Mr.. Weydemeyer
displayed many pictures of birds which
he had taken himself, and which were
truly remarkable not only for their un-
usual subjects, but for their skilful
photography.
AT the close of the meeting the
Misses Leone COPYRIGHT and Georgia
Thorson served delicious home-mad
candies.
