Do they know winter is com- ing ? In the same way the v^etable world knows it is coming when it prepares for winter, or the insect world when it makes ready, but not as you and I know it. The woodchuck " holes up " in late Sep- tember; the crows flock and select their rookery about the same time, and the small wood newts or salamanders soon begin to migrate to the marshes. They all know winter is coming, just as much as the tree knows, when in August it forms its new buds for the next year, or ...as the flower knows that its color and perfume will attract the insects, and no more. The general intelligence of nature settles all these and similar things. When a bird selects a site for its nest, it seems, on first view, as if it must actually think, reflect, com- pare, as you and I do when we decide where to place our house. I saw a little chipping sparrow trying to decide between two raspberry bushes. She kept going from one to the other, peering, inspecting, and apparently weighing the advantages of each.
