1 THE PASSEN
I
By Frederic
The recent sickness of (lie passenger
pigeon in the Cinelnnai Zoological hardens?the
last survivor of a mighty host?
has served to call the attention of naturalists
again to one of the most remark|
able of all tlie stories of nature's library
?the extinction of one of the most remarkable
birds that ever inhabited the
earth. Millions of people are still living
whose eyes have witnessed the flight of
the myriad hosts of passenger pigeons,
and yet only one of all the vast numbers
of those pigeons is known to survive?
and that one occupies a place of honor
in the Cincinnati Zoo. When he dies it
is probable his body will be presented to
the nation, to be preserved in alcohol at
the National Museum.
In these days it is hard for the younger
people to believe tlie story of the passenger
pigeon, so incredible were their
numbers, so remarkable were their flights
and so strange were their nestings. And
the story of tiie brutality that marked
the work of the pot hunters who followed
them as a tiger stalks ids prey, relentlessly
pursuing them, using the telegraph
to keep in touch with their flights and
their nestings, is a story of revolting
cruelty and butchery.
The world is indebted to John James
| Audubon, the great naturalist, for what
is perhaps the best account of the passenger
pigeon ever written. And his
truthfulness and scientific accuracy made
it a story to be accepted at its face value.
He relates that in the autumn of iHl.'i he
left his house at Henderson, on the banks
of the Ohio, to go to Louisville.
* *
In passing over tlie Barrens, a few
miles front Hardensburg, he observed
pigeons llyCame

had ever seen before. After they had
been passing for about an hour lie dismounted,
seated himself on an eminence
and made a dot with a pencil for every
Hock that pussea. in a snun. mi?c ? *= j
found that ho was putting down dots at i
the rate of 163 In twenty-one minutes.
He resumed his journey and still the
pigeons came; the light of day was darkened
as if by a solar eclipse. IJke a torrent,
and with the roar of distant thunder,
they gathered in a solid mass, darting
forward with the wings of the wind
in undulating and angular lines, descending
and sweeping close to the earth, then
mounting perpendicularly so as to resemble
a vast column, and when high in
the air once more, wheeling and twisting
within their continued lines, which then
resembled the coils of a gigantic serpent.
For hity-flve miles Audubon traveled on
to Louisville, with the serried columns of |
pigeons still floating over his head, and
for three days the flight continued. Bach
flock did exactly as the one ahead had
done; If the one ahead darted down when
passing over a brook or dodging a hawk
the flock behind did the same. Audubon
attempted to estimate the number of
pigeons in that great flight. lie assumed
that the column averaged a mile in width,
which was far below the average in point
of fact. Then he assumed that the birds
flew at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
also a conservative assumption. Upon
this basis the pigeons passing in three
hours wotild form a streak 180 square i
miles in area, and, counting two pigeons !
to the square yard, there would he nearly |
a billion and a quarter pigeons in such a
flight. How many there must have been
In the three days' flight he did not undertake
to say. Audubon's observations were
that each pigeon eats fully half a pint
of food a day. Tlie pigeons in a threehour
flight would thus need nearly nine
million bushels of food a day.

Audubon made several pilgrimages to

tucky. He rode through the forest for
upward of forty miles, and by crossing
and recrosslng it reached the conclusion
that the roost was of an average breadth
of three mileB. His first view of it was
about two weeks after the pigeons had
established it as a roosting place. He
arrived about two hours before sunset

were great numbers of people, who, with
horses and wagons, children and dogs,
guns and ammunition, had established
camps on the borders of the forest. Two
farmers had driven more than three hundred
hogs over a hundred miles to fatten
them on pigeons that were to be slaughtered.
Here and there were people engaged
in plucking and salting the catch ;
of the day before. Many trees two feet
in diameter had been broken off by the
sheer weight of the multitudes of roosting
birds. Everywhere great branches of
forest monarchs were broken off, and
the aspect of the thousands of acres of
woodland was such as one might expect
to be the result of a fierce tornado.
Some of the people who were camping
there had great pots of sulphur. Others
had poles, and others guns. It was
after sundown that the cry went up that
the returning hordes were approaching.
The noise they made reminded Audubon
of a gale at ^ea passing through the rigging
of a close-reefed vessel. As they
passed over his head he felt a current of
air that astonished him. Thousands of
birds were knocked down by the polemen.
but tens of thousands and even millions
continued to pour in. They alighted
everywhere, one above another, until
masses as large as hogsheads were
formed on tlie brandies all around.

tldng was uproar and confusion. The
people could not hear themselves talking
to one another, ami even the reports of
shotguns and blunderbusses could not be

and at the same time to sa\e enough

the animals and the birds of prey.
James Fenltnore Cooper also saw the
flights of the passenger pigeons, and lie
said thai, in a single flight he had seen
enough birds to provision Xerxes' army
for a month and enough feathers to provide
a downy couch for every person in
the country.
The white man and his net are responsible
for the disappearance of the
passenger pigeon from the face of the
earth. They began their forays about

into existence ami these men banded
themselves together to exploit the pigeon.

asserted that the pigeons were destructive.

ill-used lot. Did not some one tell a
story of poisoning birds with poison

HOSPITAL FORCE PUZZLED
OVER CHILD'S IDENTITY
Philadelphia Parents Refuse to Accept
Three-Year-Old Girl
as Their Own.
PHILADELPHIA. February 21.?The
.authorities at the Municipal Hospital for
Contagious Diseases are trying to learn
the identity of the three-year-old girl
they supposed was Beatrice Kaufman, and
at the same time discover what has
become of the real Beatrice, who was
admitted to the institution six weeks ago
suffering from scarlet fever. Beatrice's
father. Isadere Kaufman, received reports
from the hospital every- day telling
him the little girl was recovering.
Yesterday he was notified to come and
take her home. Hastening to the institution,
Kaufman was surprised when a
child whom he did not recognize was
turned over to him.
"That is not my Beatrice." he exclaimed.
"Oh, yes it is. She has changed in appearance
because of her illness," declared
the hospital attendants.
Unconvinced, but hoping that he was
mictolii: k'oiifman took the rhlld to his
home so that his wife might decide. Mrs.
Kaufman also declared that the child was
not Iter Beatrice, and the little giri, failing
to note any familar surroundings,
hurst into loud sobs for "mamma." She
was taken back to the hospital last night,
but the real Beatrice could not be located.
CUT OUT CLASS RUSH.

After six weeks' agitation over details
for the annual Washington's birthday

sophomores, the two classes have decided
to abandon it this year. The "rush" has
been a regular feature of Y'ale life, and
its omission this season will be the first
time in many decades.
For several years the faculty has been
making more and more rigorous rules regarding
the struggle, with the result that
the students declared there was no long!

QUAKERS WEO IN GOTHAM
FIRST TIME IN 17 YEARS

Church in City.
NEW YORK, February 21.?For the
first time in seventeen years there was a
wedding last night in the little Quaker
meeting house in Gramercy Park, over
which quaint edillce fashionable apartment
houses now tower. It is the home
of the only congregation of Orthodox
Friends in New York. It had been so
long since the :k>> members of the congregation
saw a wedding that practically
all of them came from far and near tq
see the marriage of Benjamin Hervey
IJoane, a clerk in tiie appellate division
of the supreme court, and Miss Alice
Howes I'nderhill.
With no minister and with no music,
the couple"marched up the aisle of the
church and standing before the meeting
I they clasped hands and repeated the aim!
pie marriage vows to be loving and dutiful
with God's aid. They signed a certificate
testifying to the fact that they
had laid their intentions of marriage before
two previous meetings of the congregation
without having heard objection
to them.
Fifty years ago, when the little meeting
house was new, all of the front rows
were usually tilled with women in the
Quaker dress, but last night only one
woman appeared in that softer garb.

HISTORY OF SLAVIC RACE

C. R. Crane of Chicago Footing Bills
for Twenty Paintings for
Prague, Bohemia.
NfciVV YORK, February *J1.?Charles R
Crane of Chicago is footing the bills for
twenty paintings of enormous size depicting
the history of the Slavic race. 1
which will be hung in a special building
in the city of Prague*. Bohemia, according
to details of the scheme published here
today.
M. Alfonso Mucha, a Slavic artist, is
executing the monumental series of can
vases in the grand ballroom of an old
castle at Zbirow. Bohemia, although at
present he is paying a short visit to this
country to arrange further details for
the completion of the series, and incidentally
to paint a portrait of Mr. Crane's (
daughter, Mrs. R. Leatherbee.

The artist says the idea of the Slavic
paintings he discussed casually with Mr. <
Crane at a dinner in this country some i
time ago when the wealthy Chieagoan <
became so enthusiastic over the idea that i
he told him to go ahead with It at his
