all the great family of warblers, the
thrushes, flycatchers, vireos, orioles,
tanagers, shore birds and most of the
sparrows. They usually begin their
flight soon after dark and end it before
dawn, and go farther before than afte-
midnight.
Night migration probably results in
more casualties from natural causes
than would occur if the birds made the
same journey by day; but, on the other
hand, there is a decided gain in the
matter of food supply. For instance, a
bird feeds all day on the north shore
of the Gulf of Mexico; if, then, it
waited until the next morning to make
its flight across the Gulf in the day
daytime it would arrive on the Mexican
coast at nightfall and would have to
wait until the following morning to ap-
pease its hunger. Thus there would be
36 consecutive hours without food,
whereas, by night migration the same
journey can be performed with only a
12 hours’ fast.
HIGH OBJECTS KILL.
During migration birds are peculiar-
ly liable to destruction by striking high
objects. The Washington monument
has witnessed the death of many little
migrants; on a single morning in the
spring of 1902 nearly 150 lifeless bodies
were strewn around its base. As long
as the torch in the Statue of Liberty
in New York harbor was kept lighted
the sacrifice of bird life it caused was
enormous, even reaching a maximum of
700 birds in a month.

The habit of migration has been
evolved through countless generations,
and during this time the physical
structure and habits of birds have been
undergoing a process of evolution in
adaptation to the climate of the sum-
mer home. In spring and early sum-
mer climatic conditions are decidedly
variable, and yet there must be some
period that has on the average the best
weather for the birds’ arrival. In the

Weather Conditions.
Generally fair weather, with a sharp
fall in temperature and light to kill-
ing frosts accompanies a moderate field
of high pressure over north-central
states. It was freezing this morning
in the Dakotas and Iowa. In the south-
ern portion of the cotton belt the
weather is fair also, but in the north-
ern portions of the Gulf states and
throughout the east and the west the
weather is unsettled and showers have
occurred in most localities. Tempera-
tures are comparatively high in the
eastern cotton belt. It is also warm
in the plateau region under the influ-
ence of a disturbance central this
morning in Utah. Light variable winds
and partly cloudy weather are indicat-
ed for this locality tonight and Tues-
day.

Special to The Tribune.
Cork, Ireland, May 13.—The basket
industry is widely established in Ire-
land, and in the prospective industrial
expansion it will probably play a not
unimportant part. The European war
has resulted in a deficiency of foreign
rods and cane, and thus given incentive
for the augmentation of the already,
considerable osier willow beds of Ire-
land. The official returns for 1913 show
over 400 acres of osiers in that year,
principally located in County Antrim,
County Queens, County Waterford, and
County Tipperary. Altogether the Pro-
vince of Munster has 131 acres, Ulster
148 acres, Leinster 115 acres, and Con-
naught but six acres.
The sluggish tidal rivers, such as
the Shannon in County Limerick, the
Suir in Counties Tipperary and Water-
ford, and the Blackwater in County
Cork, furnish excellent flats for wil-
lows. The same summer floodings
which prevent these from being used
for agriculture bring alluvial deposits
which enhance their availability for
osier-growing.
The present methods of osier cultiva-
tion are not advanced, the planting be-
ing done mainly on unprepared ground,
and by placing long willow shoots in
holes made with an iron rod. Some
headway is being made toward having
growers drain and trench the ground,
as stagnant moisture is not favorable.’
Willows grown in peat swamps are
said to lack toughness, unless lima is
freely applied. It is considered desir-
able that slips or cuttings be taken
early in the year, before sap springs,
and planted in March or February, as
is possible owing to the mildness of
the winter.
The three varieties usually grown
here are the common osier (Salix vimi-
nalis), the French or almond willow
(Salix triandra), and the bitter willow
(Salix purpurea). The first named is
most in use for rough, strong crates
and farm baskets, and its rods are col-
loquially known as “long skins.” The
French willow shoots are commonly
known as “mauls” or “black mauls,”
and predominate for the making of the
better class of baskets, such as market
and fruit baskets. The bitter willow,
or “black top,” gives a fine-shafted
rod, and is seldom used. It thrives in
■sandy soils. The forestry officials ad-
vocate that it be planted to give sta-
bility to the conformation of seashore
tracts, and they also seek to encourage
the setting of willows, alders, and

Charles II, Found Them Places of In-
trigue and Conspiracy.
So many coffee houses sprang into
existence in England during the reign
of Charles II. that he, entertaining a
belief that many political intrigues
had their beginning in those places,
issued an edict ordering them to be
closed. In this proclamation the fol-
lowing words occurred: “The retailing
of coffee or tea might be an innocent
trade, but it was said to nourish sedi-
tion, spread lies and scandalize great
men. It might also be a common
nuisance.”

London, May 17.—Some thouhands of
miners in the black country went on
strike today in consequence of a dis-
pute over the question of a ar bon-
us, according to the Evening News.
The black country is a name ap-
plied to the mining and manufacturing
district on the borders of Staffordshire
and Warwickshire, England, between
Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Washington, May 11.—Although North
American birds living in the colder
part of the continent go South for the
winter, there is no similar movement of
birds from the colder to the warmer
parts of South America, according to a
bulletin of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. If the birds in
North America did not go South dur-
ing the winter they would perish. Also,
if the birds remained in the South later
than spring there would be overcrowd-
ing, so they are drawn northward
again by the enormous summer supply
of bird food. In South America, on the
contrary, there are almost no migra-
tory land birds, because the South tem-
perate latitudes, on account of their
small area, offer no such inducements
to the feathered inhabitants of the
limitless forests along the Amazon.
The fact that the routes of migra-
tion are long and complex does not
mean that these routes were so in the
beginning, says the bulletin. In the
early stages, flight was probably short,
easily accomplished, and comparatively
free from danger. Each lengthening
of the course was adopted permanently
only after experience through many
generations had proved its advantages.
TRAGEDIES OF MIGRATION.
There are some who argue that love
of birthplace is the impulse which
causes spring migration, and these call
attention to the seeming impatience of
the earliest arrivals. Ducks and geese
push northward with the beginnings of
open water so early, so far and so fast
that many are caught by late storms
and wander disconsolately over frozen
ponds ana rivers, preferring to risk
starvation rather than to retreat. The
purple martins often arrive at their
nesting boxes so prematurely that the
cozy home becomes a tomb if a sleet
storm sweeps their winged food from
the air. The bluebird’s cheery warble
we welcome as a harbinger of spring,
often only to find later a lifeless body
in some shed or outbuilding where the
bird sought shelter rather than return
to the sunny land so recently left.
As a matter of fact, however, only
a small percentage of birds exhibit
these preseasonal migration propensi-
ties. The great majority remain in the
security of their winter homes until
spring is so far advanced that the
journey can be made easily and with
comparatively slight danger; and they
reach the nesting spot when a food
supply is assured and all the condi-
tions of weather and vegetation are
favorable for beginning immediately
the rearing of a family.
BREEDING INSTINCT.
It may be safely stated that the
weather in the winter home has noth-
ing to do with starting birds on the
spring migration, except in the case of
a few, like some of the ducks and geese
which press northward as fast as open
water appears. There is no appreciable
change in temperature to warn the
hundreds or more species of our birds
which visit South America in winter
that it is time to migrate It must be
a force from within, a physiological
change warning them of the approach

Washington, May 13.—The appear-
ance of the annual report on the “Com-
merce and Navigation of the United
States” at an unusually early date has
elicited from the Chamber of Commerce
of the State of New York the state-
ment that it had never, during the last
20 years, received this report so soon.
The volume referred to is a compre-
hensive compendium of American trade
compiled by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce of the department
of commerce. It contains about 950
pages, and is at once valuable to busi-
ness men, importers and exporters,
economists and statesmen. For exam-
ple, it outlines the inward and out-
ward movements of gold and silver
during the last four years, analyzes by
industrial groups the imports and ex-
ports of merchandise, sets forth our
commercial relations with each coun-
try of the world during the last five
years, and by grand divisions during
the last decade shows the character of
our imports from and exports to these
foreign countries during a series of
years, indicates the nature of the mer-
chandise handled by each customs dis-
trict, enumerates the articles from
which our customs revenues are de-
rived and shows the rates of duty as-
sessed upon each class, contains tables
showing the articles exported with
benefit of drawback, recapitulates our
carrying trade and that of each foreign,
country so far as relates to merchan-
dise imported into and exported out of
this country, and reviews for a series
of years the results of our whale
fisheries.
An examination of the book dis-
closes some unusual and unexpected
facts. Thus, a quarter million dollars’
worth of women’s dress models were
imported from France, one-half mil-
lion dollars’ worth of iodine from Chile,
trophies and other prizes to the value
of $100,000 were brought from Europe
by Americans. We imported 2,000,000
dozen eggs from China, and 3,000,000
more from other countries, over half
a million palm-leaf fans from China,
and a million dollars’ worth of human
hair from Germany, France, and other
countries. That book also shows that
we sent last year watches to Switzer-
land, coffee to Mexico, cotton goods to
England, chinaware to China, electric
motors to France, telephones to South
Africa, canned salmon to Scandinavia,
lard to Greece, German silver to Ger-
many, rubber shoes to Brazil, poultry
to Turkey, elevators to the Nether-
lands, and bathtubs to Egypt. Those
interested may find complete particu-
lars with respect to the origin of each
article comprising the $1,894,000,000
worth of goods imported and with re-
spect to the destination of the $2,330,-
000,000 worth of goods exported.
This report, “Commerce and Naviga-
tion for 1914,” is now on sale by the
superintendent of documents, Wash-
ington, D. C., and by the commercial
agents in charge of the bureau’s branch
offices at New York, Boston, Chicago,

course of ages there have been devel-
oped habits of migration, under the in-
fluence of which the bird so performs
its migratory movements that on the
average it arrives at the nesting site
at the proper time.
MIGRATE AT NIGHT.
Some birds migrate by day, but most
of them seek the cover of darkness.
Day migrants include ducks and geese
(which also migrate by night), hawks,
swallows, the nighthawk and he chim-
ney swift. The last two, combining
business and pleasure, catch their
morning or evening meal during a zig-
zag flight that tends in the desired di-
rection. The daily advance of such
migrants covers only a few miles and
