Single oy ¥ td rr OSHAWA, THURSDAX, AHG-17 Naw Hngland ornithologists report great mortality among the birds this summer, says the New York Herald. Unusually' heavy rains have drowned fledglinigs ahd starved their fathers and' mothers to death by the thous- ands, From a single tall chimney ut one town in Maine two wheelbarrow loads ot dead, swallows were taken, They died of starvation, say the bird expérts! Swallows, the same authori- ties declare, fly with their mouths open, and feed on the insects with which. the. summer air abounds, The heavy rains thls season have driven the insects to the ground. The food supply of the swaliows has thus been cut off, and great numbers of the birdg have died of exhaustion in the ehinfneys in' which théy nest. Byt swallows are not the only birds that, suffer from the rain, Those that, nest on the ground or in low bushes along the banks of streams have been severely affected. Nests with, eggs in them have been swept away in flooded meadows. Young birds were drowned where they were hatched. In western Maine, in Mas- sachusetts, Rhode Island and Connec- ticut wrens, swamp Sparrows, song sparrows and red winged blackbirds are known to have perished by the hundreds; unquestionably the mor- tality has been greater than the re- ported cases. Some of the birds, those that raise only one brood in a year, haye been holding unseason- ably early conventions preparatory to giving up the job for the year and going back south weeks in advance of the usual time for migration. Some have already gone and are re- ported in Victoria on their way south long before they were due. On the other hand, birds that raise two fam- ilies every season are stil} holding the fort against the rain, doing their tuneful best to make the jocund sum- mer mornings as melodious as pos- sibl¢ under the depressing circum- stances. Not only in New England, whence the first official morkality reports have come, but wherevér this sum- mer's rainfall has been abnormal, the losses of bird life have been heavy.

In one case the electrical storm' changed to a hail storm and much damage to crop and buildings is reported a a result, The large 45'x85' barn owned by Thos. Smith and standing to the east of Utica was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The farm at the present time is tenanted by Mr, Kenneth Wallace who has been working it for the past two years and' who was going to 'move next March. The storm accompanied by terrific rain, drove Alfned Westwood and a man named Hunter to shelter in the barn. When the fateful crash came poth men were struck down and lay gtunned for some minutos.
