This, it seems to -e. covers tm ground absolutely no 'tSe recce what reports may be ranted in the newspapers: no single instance of the existence in the United 'tales of the pres nee of the wild pig •on has been proved. Many reasons for the disappearance i of the pigeon have been made; the one that seems to be the most plausible to me is that during the time when these birds were everywhere, there was a horde of predatory birds and animals living upon them, following them up and doj^n in their passage through the country. For some rea son during the year 1679 vast numbers of these birds were destroyed either by geese or by being blown to sea ; *n Ot* Pacific, sailors reporting that ; they sailed for many hours through Heating dead pigeons. This, it seems to me. depleted the supply to sueh an J extent that those remaining were not abie to withstand the attacks of their many enemies and gradually fell a i I>rey to those enemies until they be [ came extinct." CITY DF_CONGRETE Kingston, Capital of Jamaica, Is Completely Restored. Buildings Are as Nearly Fireproof as It Is Possible to Make Them— New City Is Immense Improvement. Kingston, Jamaica.—Kingston, the city which was wrecked by earth quake and ruined more completely by fire in January, 1907, again takes its place as the largest city In the West Indies outside of Havana. The work of restoration is almost complete, and although a few vacant sites remair unocupied the principal shopping cen ters and the residential area have all been built up. The new Kingston is an immense improvement upon that which went to pieces In the catas trophe, and there are still works of public improvement to be underta ken. Almost without exception the new store buildings are of reinforced con crete and are as nearly fireproof as lo cal conditions have made it possible. The principal streets are adorned by colonnades, seme of a very imposing ; character. In King street all the pub lic offices have been brought together in one block; and another simiiai block is about to be erected. The architect of these blocks of buildings is Sir Charles Nicholson, who cam" specially from England to Jamaica to study the site and prepare the plans. The first block has cost ${00,000. There is a sense of public disappoint ment at Its appearance. For one thing, it is not regarded as being as attrac tive as a building of its kind ought to be. The government authorities, how ever, profess themselves to be quite satisfied with the results and proposet to have the second block built along identical lines. Public gardens and open spaces adorn the principal section of the city, the sites of these having been acquired by the government at considerable cost, much against the wish of the taxpayers. The results have, however, ; more than justified the expenditure, and Kingston is today more of a tropi cal town than it has ever been before within modern times. The government buildings and tht splendid structures of the Bank o! Nova Scotia have served to alter en tirely the appearance of King street from the sea northward. The harbor front has been completely restored and there is now talk of a sea wall or esplanade being constructed, not only to facilitate shipping, but to serve as a driveway or promenade. Plans are also under consideration for the con struction of a new park to cover about forty-five acres of land. Copenhagen’s Deer Park. Copenhagen, Denmark, has the lar gest park of any city in the world. Its area is about 4,200 acres. GUINEA HENS ARE ANNOYING Neighbors Simply Will Not Endure Longer Screeching of Fowls— Vary Tune Nightly. South Norwalk. Conn.—Two hun dred calliope lunged guinea hens owned by Miss Sarah L. Davenport of Wilton are now giving nocturnal con certs to the great annoyance of Miss 1 Davenport's neighbors, whose protests iast spring forced her to get rid of 300 dogs. Affairs have come to a pass now where Miss Davenport's neighbors will extend the freedom of the city to the dogs if she will only consent to chase | the guinea hens. In desperation, residents of Wilton, a short distance from here, have asked 11. D. Ogden of New York to dig up a law which will force Miss Davenport to gag her pets between sunrise and sunset. It was Mr. Ogden who pro cured the court order prescribing capi tal punishment for every one of Miss Davenport's dogs, but when constables went to execute the order the animals had been shipped beyond the danger zone. Soon afterward Miss Davenport es tablished a vocal conservatory for ambi tious guinea hens and at the present ■ lime she has 200 promising perform ers. mostly sopranos, under her care. They change the opera every night and on Sunday night give an extra performance. An old law has been resurrected which makes it a misdemeanor to har bor any beast or bird that cries, whines, cackles or barks during sleep ing hours, and the chances are that the guinea hens will be asked to show cause- in a few days. Miss Davenport is one^the most in teresting women in this part of the state. Of a distinguished family, pos sessed of great wealth, she tired of travel and settled on a large farm in Wilton about twelve years ago. She took a fancy to dogs, and soon had a fine kennel, which included Prince Leo, valued at $10,000. To Free Game Birds. Portland. Ore.—Hungarian part ridges will be introduced into eastern Oregon and Washington this fall Sixty pairs of the birds will be or dered from the east. They are ex pected to arrive in about two weeks, and will be liberated in the hills near Dayton, Wash. It is believed that these birds will do well in the grain-growing districts, where they will be introduced. They' are prolific, beautifully colored, hardy and gamy. The birds will be pro tected until 1913, when it is though'; they will have become sufficiently plentiful in the grain fields to allow of their being hunted. I Deer in Colorado. Borthoud, Colo.—Under the strin gent game laws and the short open season, deer are growing more plenti ful each year and this year the hunt ers have in nearly all cases obtained venison. Deer meat was eaten in many Der thoud homes last week, despite th« fact that the weather has been un favorable. In two instances recently deer wer« sighted within two hours’ drive fron the city, several parties going out it automobiles and obtaining shots. Honor for Captain Sealby. • Ann Arbor. Mich.—Captain Sealby hero of the disaster to the steamei Republic in 1909. has bean elected vice-president of the junior law class of the University of Michigan. Captain Sealby entered the law department ol the university last year, having given up a seafaring life after his ship was wrecked in a collision with the steam er Florida. MAN ABOVE ANY mechanism Prof. Amir Believes Human Machine Will Never Be O.splaced—Made Many Measurements. f*arlv—1 hit machinery never can -'place cb«- workicgtnan is the condu rjua which Prof. Jules Ainar has re ported to the Academy of Sciences. a;»er an interesting study of the maa inrMii. "I took aa the basis of my study.” vplained the professor, "the principle "hat a man who eats liberally ought recuperate in weight every 24 i-owrs. u his weight lessens he works * eseesr. but if his s eight increases te has cot expended the maximum ef sart. Alter hundreds of measurements, overt a*, a considerable period. I found that :h» human machine gives a profit of 22 to 20 per cent- on the expendi ture. but that the best artificial ma chine returns only 14 per cent. It is apparent that man is superior to all mechanisms. Man. however, always uastes energy during the first Eve c-rates of work, before regaining his equilibrium. Soldiers ought to be able to march 35 kilometers (21 miles) a day at the rate of live and a half kilometers (three and one-third miles) an hour, carrying 45 kilogrammes (99 pounds). Negroes, whom 1 studied in Algeria, show superior resistance, but less in tensity than white men. The mau-ma | chine will always be superior In dell | eacy. though naturally Inferior in strength and speed.” Studies of an English scientist, who has discovered that Mondry's labor is i the most inferior and luesday’s the most superior, owing to the curious action of .Sunday as a rest day. and that the wtrkmen who does not rest gradually loses his energy, are arous . ing keen interest among French sci entists. The lassitude of the French workman on Monday is proverbial. Obstacles a Help. Obstacles become pedestals to the man determined to overcome them. Buy* Land as Joke, Hit* Oil. Texas. "Lucky” John O Neill, the oil operator, brought in two wells, flowing 1.000 and 1 ‘•00 bar rels. respectively, on his large’st find four miles from the Humble field on the San Jacinta river, in Harris coun ty. This Is a new oil field of 1$9 acres, every foot of which O’Neill says is proven. Several test wells had been sunk on the land three years ago and alt proved dusters. Four months ago the owner offered the land for $200 and O’Neill, as a joke, bought it. remarking that if it ever turned out oily he would give the owner a liberal royalty. He has refused $50,000 for his In terest from a Texas company. Tin in His Eye 22 Years. Kansas City.

Mr. Hughitt. who is in his seventy-third year, is in many ways one of the most remark able men in the railway service. There probably is no man in the railroad world today who is more widely known and yet about whom so little is known in detail as Mr. Hughitt. This is the result of a lifelong policy of doing things rather than of talking. He was bcru in Genoa. Cayuga county, N. Y.. . in 1837, and began his career as a telegraph oper ator at Albany for the New York and Buffalo Telegraph company in 1852. In 1854 he located in Chicago aud w orked as an operator for the Illi cols and Missouri Telegraph company. Mr. Hughitt entered the railway serv ice in 1856, and until 1862 he was consecutively superintendent of telegraph and train master of the St. Louis. Alton and Chicago at Bloomington. From 1862 to 1864 he was superintendent of the southern division of the Illinois Central. It was during the latter period that Mr. Hughitt performed an operating feat that has never been surpassed. The government suddenly called upon the road to move a large detachment of troops at a time when the road *as flooded with traffic. The force became somewhat demoralized at the magnitude of ihe problem, whereupon Mr. Hughitt took his place at the dis patchers key and performed the task without interruption to traffic, at the expense of 72 hours of continuous service. When he awakened two days later he found that he had been promoted to the position of general superin tendent of the road. In 18.0 Mr. Hughitt left the service of the Illinois Central to become gen eral manager of the St. Paul road, and a year later George M. Pullman induced him to become the manager of the Pullmaa company. Mr. Hughitt in 1872 accepted the position of general superintendent of the Northwestern ■■ai'.road, after which his rise to the presidency was rapid and was marked b>' the constantly increasing Importance of the system in the western rail road world. One of the most remarkable things about the chairman of the North western’s board is the fact that at the age of seventy-three he is able to do md does a more strenuous day’s work than most railway presidents who are 15 years younger. The fact that he came from sturdy stock, there being five living generations in the Hnghitt family, with the fact also that he took the most perfect care of himself, accounts for his remarkable activity, j FRENCH REPUBLIC’S MASTER | The great railroad strike in France brought more than ever to the notice of the world a re markable man. On the reassembling of the cham ber of deputies Premier Briand created some thing of a sensation by declaring that he ha.l proof, through confessions of the leaders of the recent railroad strike, that there was a deliberate plot to ruin France by violence, anarchy and civil war. Briand. now prime minister and master of the French republic, was nobody ten years ago. At thirty-five he was an outsider, and, worse, seem ingly a failure even as a lawyer. Suddenly he willed, and all came easy to him. Easy is the. word that seems to characterize him now and then. Only genius could have led the ease-loving, hail-fellow. cafe charmer—half newspaper man. half lawyer without cases— in ten years to dizzy power as the great man of France. The public is still astounded. He remains a bundle of contradictions. As cabinet minister, successively, of public instruction, beaux arts, cultes. justice and interior, he appeared a laborious specialist of each. Bern ia the dull Breton port of St. Nazaire. he conquered a degree of law. \\ ould he have been content to plead party wall cases, marry an; $8,000 dot. play the violin, sing admirably, beat them all at billiards and talk politics? He was not of the ruling set of St. Nazaire. Possibly resentful, possible great-hearted, he certainly felt for the workingmen, who at once understood him and swore by him. Buying a second-hand press in Paris, he took it from the freight office alone with a horse and wagon, and with one boy put it together, set the type and launched the Democracy of the West. Briand excited great animosity of the ruling classes, and so. for one reason or another, he got himself dis barred as a lawyer. He quit St. Nazaire. his career apparently broken at the start, and began to write. Paris socialists were edified by the young stranger’s grasp of their subjects. His articles in the Lanterne became at once noled for their clear ness anil boldness. They expressed the discontented workingman to him self—as if it were the workingman who wrote them. He walked into the sovereign office of French deputy, first in 1902. again in 1906. and now, as simply, he has walked into the cabinet—and put himself at its head. No one realizes how he does it. All happens tranquilly without fireworks. He steps through cruel difficulties without effort. MISTRESS OF BIG MANSION After nine years the most costly house in America has been finally completed, and presid ing over it will be a petite young lady who has won her way to this queenly position through a courtship w*hich once threatened to upset a sec tion of Washington politics. The house is that of Senator W. A. Clark of Montana and New York, and is situated at the corner of Fifth ave nue and Seventy-seventh street. Manhattan. The house, when viewed from the exterior, appears rather heavy and massive for the space occupied, but. once within, one appreciates the real harmony of it all. Each of the nine stories is massed w ith every conceivable adjunct of com fort and luxury; from top to bottom is a store or storied wealth and mechanical device unsur passed in the modern construction cf house hniM Ing. The bare structure alone cost J.>,000.000. And the copper king has reared this palace for one who not so many years ago was the daughter of a poor physician In Montana. At that time her name was Anna La Chappelle. and her father, dying penniless com mended her to the care of Senator Clark, urging his interest in her musical < talent. The senator sent his ward to the Boston Conservatory of music where her progress was so marked as to cause him to send her to Paris to'perfect her studies. It was during this period, says Human Life, that the senator began to realize that his affection for his ward was of more than the fatherlv order. While society was busy linking bis name with that of nearly every eligible young lady, he became assured his ward's feelings were the same a<= his own, and asked her to become his wife.
