EV factB In natural history aro so
Interesting as the annual migra
tion of birds, and largely becauso
there Is such little real under
standing as to tho naturo and
methods of this remarkable phe
nomenon. Theories aro plen
tiful, but a demonstrable oxnla-
nation of all the facts Involved Is Btlll wonting.
Soino of tho Inherent characteristics of migra
tion, such as tho apparent senso of direction
possessed by birds, seem to defy observation
nnd analysis, and to bo absolutely beyond our
ken so far as any understanding goes. Tho
cause Itself of this curious habit so far Is only
conjectural, but tho most logical explanation
scorns to bo a senrch for food. This apparently
holds good for the fall flight from North to
South, when InsectB have perished from tho cold,
and vegetation died, so that both Insectivorous
and grnln-cating birds nro alike affected Yet
eomo members of both species, crows, Jays, quail,
partridges, wood ducks, cardinal grosbeaks (tho
ordinary red bird) and often somo red-headed
woodpeckers, remnln North throughout tho win
ter and manago somehow to make a living and
perpetuate their species.
Even If those bo exceptions to tho general rule,
there still remains tho unanswered question, Why
do not those birds who winter In the South re
main there throughout the year Instead of going
North when tho spring opens? Food Is abundant
and apparently southern latitudes aro ns fitting
for tho rearing of young ns tho far North. As n
matter of fact, wo really do not know, though
wp have some Interesting nnd plauslblo theories
about It that do not boar tho test of questioning.
So ns usunl when we run across somo mystery In
nnlmal life that wo cannot unravel, wo call it
"Instinct," nnd let It go nt that Of this ono
thing we may, however, be quite sure, that In
stinct in animals always serves somo useful pur
pose, and is usually an expression of nature's
care for the preservation of the species.
Years of observation novo developed tho Inter
esting fact that therof aro certain well-defined
routes in all countries which tho migrations
follow, certain water courses, certain chains of
mountains, certain valleys, and this seems to
obtain from ono generation of birds to another.
Whether tho younger birds learn this from tho
older birds who have been before, or whether
they simply mechnnlcally follow tho oldor birds
In their flights is largely conjecture, but two
facts seem woll established. First, that animals
evidently have somo method of communicating
with each other. Everyono wjio has heard Hob
White call together tho scattered covey, or tho
hen glvo tho alarm for a hawk to her chickens, Is
convinced on this point. Tho second fact seems,
however, to controvert tho theory of the older
teaching tho younger ones tho way thoy should
go, for It has been shown in mnny Instances
that flocks composed entirely of tho year's broods
of young birds make their first migratory flight
alone and unnttonded by tho older birds, and find
their way unerringly along tho usual routes of
migration. Once moro wo havo to fall back upon
instinct.
Just how birds find their way from one distant
latitude to another Is the most Inexplicable ot
nil the mnny mysterious facts ot migration. The
length of tho flight from northern habitat to
southern winter resort varies according to tho
different species of birds all tho way from 1,000
to 3,000 miles, and In a few cases to G.O00 miles.
Yet these distances are apparently traversed In
generally direct straight lines, and with the most
orderly and buslnessllko methods of procedure.
To say that tho oldor birds show tho younger
birds tho way (since this has been shown to be
untrue In many cases) only removes tho difficulty
back Into tho remote past, for at somo time
there had to be some birds to find tho way tho
first tirao, and we only dodgo this difficulty when
wo talk of Inherited Instinct.
It Is clearly not a cbbo of birds seolng their
way and being guided by landmarks. It Is known
that migrations as a rulo toko place at night, and
that in general birds fly very high, In fact, at
tremendous heights, when migrating. Under
such conditions finding their way by sight Is Im
possible. Moreover, tho sight theory breaks down
In the case of those birds who cross great
' stretches of water whero there are no landmnrks
1 whatever. Thoro is a species of cuckoo which
nummers In Now Zealand nnd winters In eastern
Aiintrniin. which means a straight flight of some
! 1,800 miles without rest or stop across the track
less waters. Certain speclos or numming tnrus
that winter In Central and South America spend
their summer vacation in tho United States, and
to do so muBt fly across somo 1,000 miles of tho
Gulf of Mexico.
A recent experiment demonstrated that neither
tho theory or seeing tho way nor previous knowl-
'edgo of tho routo can account for tho llndlng of
'tho way In migration. Fifteen terns were taken
,froni their nesting places on Bird Key, Tortugas
(ono of the Islands of tho Florida roof) and wore
released at distances varying from 20 to 850
tnllos from their homo, nnd 13 of tho 15 found
ihelr way back safely. Observations havo also
Shown that tho. same birds return to tho samo
not year nftor year. Robins that winter In
Florida will build their nests In tho same tree
In a northorn stnto an long as thoy live. An ox-
olantatlon which is In much favor Is tho probable
SnasoBsion of a sixth sense the sense of dlroc-
GZAT
tlon concerning whoso physical basis and naturo
wo aro entirely in tho dark. It seems to bo u
house common to most animals. It is extremely
well developed In horses and dogs, and llkowlso
In fishes, who year after year come bnck to tho
same stream to spawn. It is possessed to n lesser
degree by man, being more pronouncod In tho
savago than In tho civilized man, probably be
causo In tho latter disuse has dulled Its percep
tion. Tho speed at which birds fly during migration
probably varies according to the natural capacity
of tho species. Nevertheless, in such flights
The Bird Or the Cat?
"The llird or tho Cat?" has become a scratch
ing subject which Is making the feathers lly in
many a heretofore peaceful neighborhood. Bird
lovers who hnve attempted to establish sanctu
aries for their feathered friends havo been com
pelled to revise their visiting lists according to
where her royal highness. Tabbykins, holds sway.
Tho bird man who has found to his sorrow that
any bird and cat combination means cat-astropho,
even while ho Is taking tho mnngled body of tho
Httlo feathered tenant, that ho has worked for
months to nttract, from tho clutches of tho lnno-cent-looking,
fluffy, four-footed murderer, will bo
assailed by tho cat-owner, who Indignantly de
clares that whllo other low-bred creatures may
catch birds, she knows her own blue-blooded
darling Fluffyklns Is too well bred and too well
fed to do such a deed!
Naturalists statistically rank the fells domes
tlcus as third In the bird-destroying agents, hold
ing every roaming cat responsible for the lives of
at least fifty birds n year. A game warden who
reports 200 quail killed by a mother cat in less
than a year on tho gamo preserve advocates the
wholesale extermination of catB under the super
vision ot a gamo warden.
Tho valuo of tho cat to catch mlco or ratslB
disputed by a bird enthusiast, who maintains that
this' Nero of the animal world will hush forover
the Joyous song of any little feathered chorister
simply for his own amusement when not In need
of food. When ho dines ho goes nftor a cold bird
In preference to any other delicacy, and will
catch mice or rats only as a last resort to keep
from starving.
The most serious arraignment against both the
domestic and stray cat Is made by the boards
of health, who havo found these animals to bo
carriers of Bcarlot fever, diphtheria and other
diseases most fatal to their human associates.
A successful business man says that If a cnt
kills a little chicken in the yard of tho avorago
farmer, tho cat is made away with. If tho four
footed hunter comes homo with a quail, ho Is
petted: yet the qunll is of greator economic valuo
to tho farmer than Is either tho cat or the
chicken. Ho thinks, for humane reasons, tho wild
or stray cat loft on abandoned farms should bo
put out of tho way.
A cat-a-comb, whore feline prowlers may bo laid
permanently to rest, Is considered a necessary
adjunct to every bird sanctuary by a bird con
servationist, who has tried, without success, vari
ous methods to prevent cats from killing helpless
song and Insectivorous birds so valuable to man.
Another long sufferer from cat depredations con
siders n near-by deeper bath, In which to Im
merse nnd leave tho savago depredators, Is tho
only wny In which n bird bath may bo maintained.
Somo friends of tho birds think to llccnso tho

but also tho kitten, question. They concludo that

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. PlnkharrTs Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters tnat we are continually put
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N.J. "1 wns sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys woro affected. I had a doctor all tho time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mo any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a Bleoping-chair,and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor wnt away for his
health, and mv husband hoard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me somo. In two months I got relief and now I
am llko a now woman and am at my usual weight I recommend
your medicino to every ono and so does my husband." Mrs. Tiiiaa
Watkbs, 630 Mechanlo Street, Camden, N.J.
From Hanover, Penn.
Hanovto, Pa." I was a very weak woman and suffered from
bearing down pains and backache. I had been married over four
years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
proved an excellent remedy for it made mo a well woman. After
taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now havo one of
tho finest boy babies you ever saw.1' Mrs. C A. Riokhodb, R.FJLX.
Ho. 5, Hanover, Pa.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
-woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many othere why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has bcon tho standard remedyfor fe
male ills. No ono sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself If she docs not try thl a fa
mous medicine mado from roots and herbs, it
Las restored somany suffering wonionto health.
