Small Worlds
Around Us
By LYNN M. WATKINS
(Rtgilttr nj Trlbun.
Syndicate, ;43)
Many Animal Migrations
Still Remain Mystery
A migration is usually con
sidered to be a Journey of
considerable distance by
group or a mass of living
creatures from one habitat or
region to another.
Animal migrations have al
ways intrigued the minds of
thinking men, who as a rule,
vi ualize a great number of
individuals moving in unison
toward an unseen destination
One of the most spectacular
mi-rations is that of the lem
mings. Lemmings are small
rodents about four to five
I. ches long who are known
crpeciallly for their devas
tating migrations. This migra
tion is actually a one ' way
trip for many of the lem
mings as many of them die
before making the return
tip.
Remarkable Trip
Observant students have ac
tually watched the beginning
of this remarkable trip. Thou
sands of the little animals sud
denly begin the trek with
great odds against them. They
f.ght to gain another mile and
at last, plunge into the sea
to swim as long as their puny
strength lasts and then drown.
Not all the lemmings in a
certain area migrate; there
are always enough left at
home to continue the species.
Scientists believe that this mi
gration is triggered by over
population. On the long trip,
hundreds of the little rodents
give their lives to a host of
predators that follow along
with them. With thousands of
lemmings gone, the remain
ing hundreds can find enough
food to sustain life.
The animals feed on, vegeta
tion and spend the warm
months on mountains. The mi-
colors of red and white; a
flower of white rose; gowns of
royal blue; and a motto of
We are not the end, but. the
beginning."
gration to the lower lands is
merely following the food sup
r'y. When the summer comes
to the lofty areas, they mi
grate i back. T se creatures
execute a mass movement
from an area of scarcity to a
land of hoped - for plenty.
Migrations Unexplained
The migration of the salm-.
on and the eel, as well .as
some other mass movements-,
has never been satisfactori'y
explained. There are many
species of ocean fish that per
form annual migrations over
great distances of water. The
actual reason is somewhat in
doubt. Water temperature
triggers some n.igrarits to
move, while food often serves
as another impetus. Probably,
there are many less obvious
reasons.
Mysterious Guides
Science maintains that birds
migrate because of failing
light, change of light angles,
shortage of food or degrees
ot temperature. Any or all
of these reasons may or may
not be the real cause. The
reason is nowhere near as
mysterious as the . method
used to guide them on the
long Journeys, some of which
are many thou-ands of miles.
One of the latest and most
startling explanations is nav
igation by means of celestial
observations on thj part of a
bird. Does a migrating bird
carry in its consciousness a
of the stars which it
use- to direct its course?
Some species of birds mi
grate only during the day
light and may use the sun or
its position in the sky as their
compass. Other species travel
only by night and become
hopelessly' confused when
clouds obscure the sky.
Isn t it funny that in this
scientific age tlr should be
so many seemingly simple
things that are unanswerable.

Spanish Distiller Is
Out To Scuttle Scots
By H. AUGUST DEBELIUS
Segovia, Spain tUPi) A dis
tiller here is out to scuttle the
Scots - dram by dram.
His weapon: good "Scotch"
whisky, brewed on the bonny
braes of Segovia, arid-sold at
less than half the price -of
whisky imported from Scot
land. ,
The new whisky, 10 years
in the makinr, is called
"dyc."
It cost Spanish industrialist
Nicomedes Garcia Gomez
nearly $3 million.
It went on sale in Madrid
recently and imported Scotch
whiskies dropped an average
of almost $1 a bottle in price.
Distiller. Garcia Gomez said
his plant could turn out about
one million quarts of whisky
a year "and I expect to sell
every drop."
Imports of Scotch whisky
into Spain last year amounted
to slightly under 500,000 bot
tles.
Garcia Gomez' production
began with importation in
1953 of 10,000 used Scotch
whisky barrels to make sure
his whisky would have the
proper receptacles for aging.
Then he brought in a team of
Scottish whisky blenders and
highland peat to cure the
malt.' ' "
One of his toughest hurdles
was finding the right kind of
water. Advised - by his help
that he couldn't 'make' good
whisky without soft water, he
hired teams to test water sup
plies all over Spain.
Their choice was this an
cient town, where pure moun
tain water still comes down
from the Guadarrama range
across a stone aqueduct built
about 1700 years ago by the
Romans. , '
Garcia Gomez, already a big
producer of Spanish brandy,
wine and liquors, carefully
avoided calling his whisky
"Scotch" on the label. But to
a whisky .. drinker's palate
there is no doubt what type
NEW TILE
New: York-IUPIl-The art of
decorative ceramic tile manu
facture in Europe reached a
peak' of- perfection around
1680 with production of blue
and white Delft tiles in Hol
land. Today, American manu
facturers still produce decorated-blue
and white tiles, as
well as special decorated tile's
in many other colon,
it is, 'though the label's only
hint is. "finely blended whis
ky.";;.'..' Despite the difference between-the
anticipated Spanish
whisky production and the
amount of Scotch imported
last year, there is no great
likelihood of Spanish whisky
glutting the market. In the
land of great sherries and con
noisseur brandies; Scotch has
developed snob appeal. ''
It's hard to get a good shot
of the best Spanish brandy at
fashionable cocktail parties in
Madrid these days. .The black
tied waiters carry trays pre
dominantly stocked with
Scotch and water or Scotch
and soda.
