THE LUIEE OF LIGHT

I-low thankful we are to notice the days even though the amount of light cacti morning and evening grcsscs by a mere minute or two! Birds respond to lengthening days in it more spectacular way than we do. Already some are stirring in their southern holiday resorts in preparation for the long trek home. Ornithologlsts have several theories as to the reason for this northern spring movement, but all are convinced that the lure of light is the predominant factor.

And so as the days grow longer and the light stronger multitudes of birds are making their way north. The sooner they arrive here, the sooner nesting can be- gin, and it is very desirable to have a young family at the time when daylight is at its best. Par- ents must gather enough food to supply their children as well as themselves, and nestlings cat a surprising aniounl, on an average of their own weight a day. As the youngsters grow, more and more foraging trips become necessary. ,Evei'y minute of daylight-is used for food hunting.

In the last few years scientists have been trying experiments with light, and the conclusion ' has been reached that the ultra-violet rays. found in our summer stin- light, enter the birds eyes and help to proiluce lime for eggshells and larger broods. This would be one good reason for birds flying north in spring. But bird stu- (tents are now pretty well agreed that "food" is the most important answer to the question ”Why do birds migrati-T" .This belief is based on the fact that once thr-

even though the days are still long.

The chief reason why most birds cannot remain indefinitely

in the far north is not because of the cold itself so much as because their resistance to cold is reduced by their inability to find food in the dark. Also it must be remem- bered that as daylight. is shorten- ed. vcgetatlon and insect life (the birds' food supply) both give out. Birds have been shut up in outdoor aviaries of sub-zero tem- peratures. When sufficient food of the right kind was provided the birds thrived. Chickadees, Cross- bills, Owls and so on are able to remain with us even in the cold- cst of winters because their par- ticular food is always available. Thus are migration movements, light. and food vitally connected. When do birds mate?

Dear little birds as afar you roam. Now the winter winds and the snow have come.

Believe it or not, but the death penalty was prescribed for 120 different crimes in Upper Canada during the early part of the 19th century, arson being one of the crimes in question.

"Lest we forget"-The Canadian Expeditionary Force totaled 619,636 during World War I, with 425,589 actually doing overseas duty. 60,- 661 of these met death!

Did you know that Canada boasts a votive lamp which has burned continuously for the past 235 years. The lamp hangs in the Ursuline Chapel of Quebec. and has never been extinguished since 171?!

That the U. S. Army's first chap- lain officially appointed by Con- tinental Congress was a French Canadian priest, Rev. Francois de Lotbinier; that ether was first used in Canada by Dr. Worthing- ton in the performance of a major operation; that the term "blue nose" was derived from the name of a potato produced in Nova Sco- tia; that cosmetics were largely homemade in Prince Edward Is- land homes in pioneer times. Beet- root took the place of rouge, and flour served as powder in facial make-up; that Alex W. Ogilvle, Montreal miller and financier was the first Canadian to be cremated; that deportation to Bermuda, as late as 1840, was a common court sentence meted out to Canadians found guilty of treason?

In the Imperial Library at Pekln, may be seen a document dating back to 449, which reads that British Columbia was discov- ered at the above date by Bud- dhist monks from China. They called it Foussang, strange but true!

origlnal colorfulness. When this scribe was a young fellow we used to form a group headed by a cap- tain, all wearing grotesque masks and costumes. Our march to the scene of the wedding was as orderly and well carried out as any military parade. When willi- ln about a hundred yards of the home, the captain gave the order: 'tBreak ranks and Blow!" What a din followed. Cowbells tingling, horns blowing, drums beating (old tin cans) and seacocks bellowing. Indeed, there was such a com- motion that at times the nervous bride must have forgotten all about it being her wedding night.

After a treat of elder, cakes, and candy, we all shook hands with the bride and groom, and told them we hoped all their future troubles would be little ones. Then, under the guiding hand of our capable captain, we marched away.

Horse-racing became. such a racket at Halifax in 1771, that it was banned because it tended to

make the citizens idle, immoral and godless. The first St. Patrick's Day

parade in this country was staged at Three Rivers, Quebec, when soldiers of the invading Contin- ental Army from the American colonies marched through the streets wearing shsmrocks-not it hit of it. They wore green twigs in their caps.

In pioneer days, residents at Charlottetown were required to carry lights, when abroad at night. Street lighting was not what it is today.

It was start- ed by six New York newspapers. which was nrlglnallya pony ex- press. operating between Halifax and Dlgby, N.

These dispatches came by vessels, dock- ing at Halifax which represented several days' sailing in transporta- tion if going directly to New York.
