HABITS OF WILD GEESE.
MARCH IS T HE MONTH THEN
FLY NORTHWARD.
Led by a Sturdy Old Gander
Whose “Honk” Is Law—Fly
100 Miles an Hour.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Almost any time during the latter
part of February and throughout
the month of March we may expect
to see a flight of wild fowl at an
altitude of from five hundred to one
thousand feet flapping their way to
the north. The peculiarity is the
singular V-shaped line, with the apex
forward, and the uniform distance
apart preserved by the fliers. These
are the wild geese, and to both boy
and man this is a wiys an interesting
spectacle.
These creatures winter in the more
remote parts of the Southern United
States, millions being attracted to the
Everglades of Florida, a vast and
watery region inaccessible to all
quadrupeds, save such as belong to
the families of the amphibia. Others
of these birds penetrate into Mexico,
the Central and South Amerioan
States, and the islands and waters of
the Indies afford them favorite re
sorts.
They are content to remain in these
Southern latitudes during the season
of winter over the Northern Hemi
sphere, but with the approach of the
vernal equinox they show signs of
restlessness. They are noisy to a
degree that is deafening as the pair
ing instinct begins to impel them,
and in tens of thousands of squads
they start from their sunny surround
ings for the still, cold and cheerless
breeding grounds that extend from
the Northern States through British
America probably to the pole itself.
These flocks, as they make these
journeys, are invariably led by a
stout-hearted gander, who maintains
his post of honor and authority at
the extreme point of the V, and whose
clarion-toned “honk” conveys his
orders, which are responded to by
his converging lines of followers.
When this angle is rigidly main
tained andmoves directly and placidly
across the sky, we may infer that the
flock is made up of more elderly and
more experienced fowls, but when
the angle scatters, breaks, gets into
a straight line and indulges in un
usual vociferation, it is almost sure
to be the younger fry that is making
the journey. These cannot repress
the feeling of nquisitlveness that the
novelty of the situation inspires; they
gaze with wonder on the panorama
underneath, to the neglect of atten
tion and decorum in flight, and, with
out a doubt, the patience of the
leader is often sorely taxed. It is
like getting raw recruits to preserve
even ranks, and when once the angle
is shattered the troop is “rattled,”
and most vigorous is the “honking”
before the rank is again in order.
These journeys are the events in
the lives of geese. They cover zones
in their flights from the tropics to the
poles, and the meterology, they must
encounter is very various. With
favoring wind currents they make
eighty miles an hour, and, except
ionally, they may reach a 100-mile
gait, and this may drop to forty or
fifty miles, and in stress of ugly
weather they may be compelled to
seek the surface.
The cold spring rains are hard on
flight. They get wet on and under
the wings. There is not only the ad
ditional weight, but the vanes of the
feathers do not act with that fine
mechanical precision, and when to
this is added snow, a freezing rain or
sleet, then to the earth they make a
descent and take such hazards as the
situation affords. Under any cir
cumstances, the long journey involves
stops for rest and food, and without
doubt the ■wheat regions are noted
on the Southward journey in the
fall.
They are vegetarians, and their
food consists of seeds, roots, grass
and portions of plants. As a rule,
the same geese spread out over the
same territory year after year, both
in their Southern aud Northern
homes, but an exceptional scarcity of
food, or too frequent encroachments
of man, causes them to seek new
localities.
They select a suitable breeding
ground, and hundredsand sometimes
i thousands of nests are close together,
! made of dry grass, flags aud the
down from the breasts of the females.
I During breeding seasons these
: fowls manifest a most audacious
fierceness, striking at an enemy litcr
' ally in clouds, giving but small heed
! even to firearms. This fierceness is
' only intensified when the young have
I come forth. At night the. vigilant
: males are on guard, and such a thing
i as taking them by surprise and when
' off guard is entirely out of the ques-.
: tioi’«
While the majority may have
I squatted down and with bill poked
I under the wing seek repose, there
are sentinels on duty, and these are
! standing. They may draw up alter
nate legs to warm their webbed feet,
but under no circumstances will tlipse
sentries be found off their guard, and
warning is at once given of the ap
proach of a fox or other predatory
creature.
The young goslings at once take to
the water and in a few weeks are
able to make considerable trips with
the older geese, and then begins the
systematic and extensive foraging.
Remote waters and grounds are
visited and the glowing summer is
one prolonged holiday.
All the mainland and islands that
skirt the polarregion are the summer
habitat for incomputable numbers of
geese, swans and ducks. Literally
in clouds these make the journey into
and across the polar interior, and
with the region so inaccessible to
man they are as familiar as with the
topography of the settled States
across which they make their semi
annual flights.
The Dominion of Canada has in
numerable lakes, swamps and nvers
that have seldom been seen by man,
and here this winged, wild life can
readily penetrate, free from that
common and most merciless human
enemy.
As bearing on the strength and
persistence of inbred habits it may
be stated that even the domestic
goose, though probably removed cen
turies from a wild state, still has the
habit of having sentinels on guard.
Even in the security of the barnyard
a flock can never be found in the
night without one or two members
doing guard duty and ready to an
nounce the approach of any intruder.
If a hundred wild geese alight on a
wheat field to feed the foraging is
done in silence, but the moment they
take wing they begin their familiar
chatter. Nothing bewilders a flock
of geese flying at night so much as
foggy weather or the bright glare of
electric or light house lights. Their
extraordinary power of vision is all
the more keenly affected by the
piercing rays which seem to hold
their attention, and to which they are
entirely unused.
The ample area of wing surface that
these fowls possess and theit weight
call for a considerable displacement
of the atmosphere, and the angular
lines preserved in their long flights
are at once most intelligent as utiliz
ing their powers to the very best
advantage in cleaverage. Each in
dividual to the rear of the leader gets
the benefit of some of his predeces
sors’ action, and this aggregate is
considerable.

An Incisive Analysis of Cleveland
Rochester Post-Express, Ind.
Mr. Cleveland, as we understand
him, is distinctly a man of words, not
acts. He is the most cunning of all
American politicians in the matter of
choosing a campaign issue; and in
the matter of controlling conventions
and securing votes from all manner
of incongruous elements he is easily
the greatest of all our many dema
gogues, But he never accomplishes
anything in the way of statesman
ship ; and no man intrusted with
leadership and power ever made so
poor a record in deeds or so big a
record in professions. He is not
responsible for a single act of the
slightest importance in the state or
in the nation. And after he has won
an election on a “great reform,” he
takes no further interest in it, and
looks around for another available
fake. He was elected on “civil ser
vice reform” in 1894 ; and it took no
step beyond the point where Presi
dent Arthur left it. He ran on “tariff
reform” in 1888 and in 1892 ; and
“tariff reform,” after costing no end
of party turmoil and business disas
ter, is abandoned in the ditch. And
now Mr. Cleveland, in his usual
cloudy style, proposes as an issue for
1890 “currency reform.”
A preacher came at a newspaper
man in this way: “You editors dare
not tell the truth. If you did you
could not live; your newspaper would
be a failure.” The editor replied:
“You are right; and tho minister
who will at all times aud under all
circumstances tell the whole truth
about his members, alive or dead
will not occupy his pulpit more than
one Sunday, and then he will find it
necessary to leave town in a hurry.
The press and the pulpit go hand in
hand with white wash brushes and
pleasant words, magnifying little vir
tues into big ones. The pulpit, the
pen and the gravestone are the great
saintmaking triumvirate.” And the
great minister went away looking
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work and told about
the surpassing beauty of the bride,
while in fact she was as homely as a
hedge fence.—Ex.
