summer residents leave for the south and great flocks of. weed gleancrs. come from the north to take their place. The best ‘known of these are the "Snowbird," the Jlluco, the Rcdpoll, and the Tree sparrow. Lorie numbers of these birds remain through the cold sea- son clearing off all weed seeds they can reach, and thus rendering an invaluable service.to our farms and farmers.

"The Tree Sparrow." says Fran. cis Bain," is a handsome sparrow with a chestnut crown and an ashy- white breast." (In this quotation note the omission of the blackish spot on the breast!) "Like the Fox sparrow, it is but a wayward wand- erer here. Passing us in large num- bers during migrations in spring and fall, but rarely stopping for its summer nestings in our groves." Other writers are unanimous in stating that the Tree Sparrow nests on or near the ground, and that the four or five eggs are pale greenish blue, speckled ulth reddish brown.

“Worlds in Collision."

This is the title of a book adver- tized in the Reader's Digest for March 1960. The book is there con- densed under the title "Why the Sun stood Still," and is a most elaborate research into ancient history and astronomical occur- rences. -

The sun stood still and the moon stayed (Book of Joshua (llo-13) while Joshua fought and overcame the Amorites. It is significant that (as the historian records in verse 11,) there was a great fall of met- eoritlc stones just before the bat- tlc. The inference is that the great- est meteorite of all, struck the earth such a blow that its ~‘diumal revolution was delayed for a time. and the sun and moon appeared stationary. '

when the earth began to spin freely again, its axis would waver and it does so still.

In general the ancients did not recognize meteorites as stones: translations often put them down as hnilstones. One ancient scribe saw "the stars fall from the sky."

Readers may perhaps recall my supposition that the huge Arizona meteorite had altered the land- surface of the globe and given use to the story of the drowned con- tinent of Atlantis To some extent "Worlds in Collision" supports this.

Though spring is astronomically ushered in March 21st or there- abouts; another month passes be- fore the ground is not frozen o‘ nights. before the cool weather and even snow-flurrles end. _ -

As March wears on, if the s‘ar- gazer looks to the south-cast. he will see the constellation Leo. The Greater Lion) rearing almost to the zenith. While Leo is not as re- splendent as Orion, it is one of the “signs” of the Zodiac which Orion is not. The fore-part of the Lion is a group of stars arranged in the form of a sickle or reaping hook. Behind this, two stars repre- sent the loins of the beast, and a third, behind these two, repre- sents the tail.

As a further guide, a straight line from the Pole Star, passing through the two front star of the Dipper, will cut thro ' the body. of ‘the Lion. (There is a Lesser Lion. Leo minor, but it is not important.)

The bright star at the end of the sickle handle is Regulus, form- erly clnssed as first magnitude. The old astrologers named it Rex and believed that it ruled the move- ments of the stars: it was Coer- nicus that called it Regulus which means about the same thing.

No Astrology for Tacitus?

Tncitus the Roman historian. tells a characteristic story of the Emperior Tiberius. When the Em- peror was a young man, his fav- orite pursuit was the study of nstrololiy. He had a mansion built on a cliff on the island of Rhodes. to which he invited those astrolog- ers he wished to consult. A slave, illiterate, but of great bodily strength, conducted the soothsayer along the cliff to the house. There the Emperor questioned and test- ed him. and if the man seemed fraudulent or made a vain show of knowledge. the Emperor dismissed him. giving a secret aign to the slave as he did so. As they return- ed along the cliff the slave threw the impositor into the seal Tiber- ius was at ease. for no witness sur- vived to tell the story.

There was one Thrassulus who was put to the test in this fa’h'on. He promised great honors of as- tonishing futurs events. Tiberius then asked him whether he had yet cast his own horoscope? Could he foresee what would happen in a year? my, even that very day? Thrassulus consulted the heavens and the aspects of the planets: he paused, he hesitated. than terror shook his frame. "! perceive." he said, "the crisis of my fate; this very moment may be my last." Tib- erius clasped him in hirarms and concratula him on his know- ledge and is escape from death. Irom that moment Thrassulua was the Emperor’: moat confidential friend. ’

‘ en I reflect (says Tacitus) on this fact and on others of sim- ilar nature, I find my judgment so much on the balance =i.h-t whether human affairs are gover - ed by fate and immutable neces-

find Hudson Bay Affects Canada's_l_Iealher

By H. L. Jones

OTTAWA. April 3 — (CP)—So you don't care whether Hudson Bay freezes solid in winter? Well you should. say Canada's weather men.

What happens in fall. winter and spring on that vast body of water has a lot to do with the

weather from the Atlantic coast to Manitoba. It can determine whether cities like Montreal. To- ronto or Ottawa get rain. snow. hail or clouds. It plays a part in weather forecasting on the west- ern end of the trans-Atlantic air and shipping routes.

There's a defence consideration too. Canada's northern defence planners aren't about it. but obviously whether the huge bay gouging the north- eastern part of the continent freezes completely in winter is interesting from a military point of view. _

Meteorol _,lsts now are sure that Hudson Bay does freeze solid cvery year. . They've been pretty sure for some time. but now they have photographic evi- deuce.

, This winter a big Iamasicr of the 3. C. A. I‘. made four flights over the bay. Aboard were Mc- Gill University geographers and Defence Research Board and Transport Department personnel.

These weren't the first sucir nights but this time aerial photo- graphs were taken showing the buy completely frozen over.

What has the ice to do with i‘.~.e weather? Meteorologist: say thai air masses moving down from the Arctic are affected by it. .When Hudson Bay is clear of ice these masses pick up comparatively warm moisture from the water and are warmeda Then the weath- er where the air mass goes isn't

as cold as it would have been. The

. ,mcisture may be dropped in the iforrry of rain or produce clouds.

saying anything '

when the air masses move over solid ice in the bay. the “warming modifier" is missing. The Arctic air mass is still pretty cold when it gets where it's going and so "brings" cold weather.

Often these air masses move for south into Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. At other times they blow across Northern Quebec as far as the Western Atlantic -- that's when trans-Atlantic weather is af- fecied.

By keeping tab on Hudson Bay the weather men say they can bet- ier predict what kind of day it's going to be tomorrow at any given point.
