3/14 It is well known that during the last few years whole species of birds have quit the earth. A writer in a recent article on this subject says:( 19) (19 "Almost every year sees the final extinction of one or more bird species. Out of fourteen varieties of birds found a century since on a single island--the West Indian island of St.Thomas--eight have now to be numbered among the missing.") Is it not possible that these disappearing bird species quit their habitation without, and find an asylum in the "within world"? When they spread their great wings some of the birds appeared to measure thirty feet from tip to tip. They are of great variety and many colors. |
