Wedding in Airplane
CALCUTTA. Intlln, Dee. 27.—A wed- -
ding, unique not so much from the fact !
that it took place in the air, hut that
eight guests in addition to the parson
jtnd the best man were in the machine,
was clebrated in a Handley-Page air
plane flying over Calcutta.
The ceremony, when Miss Vera Garner
was married to C. 11. Mann, took place
when the machine wag a mile front the
ground. Capt. F. R. Stachard, a friend
o’ the bride and bridegroom, was at the
wheel.
The Rev. .T. H. Easterbrook was the
officiating clergyrtfan. The flight was
uo new novelty for hint, as lie was on
active service in France and made sev
eral flights there.
A large number of guests remained on
the ground, watching the machine, which
climbed remarkably fast, and reached
0 00T feet in 45 minutes.
The engine was then shut off nud the
ceremony commenced as the airplane be
gan to glide to earth. The whole flight
occupied about one hour.

MILLIONS OF
WILD PIGEONS
DARKENED SKY
Tragic Disappearance of the
Famous Passenger Bird
Unsolved Mystery.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—That there la
no such thing as a wild pigeon In the
United States any more is an idea which
seems to be widely entertained In this
country, and which Is wholly erroneous,
according to the ornithologists.
The fact of the matter is that the pas
senger pigeon, which was once phe
nomenally abundant In the western
United States, Is extinct; but there are
at least three species of wild pigeon
found today within tho United States.
All three of them are little known, de
spite the fact that one of them Is dis
tributed, in a sparse and scattering man
ner, over a good part of the West.
For some reason, the w ild pigeon is an
object of exceptional popular interest, if
one may Judge by the number of ques
tions that come to an Information bureau
about it. and the number of newspaper
and magazine articles that have been
written on tlie subject.
Nearly every American now knows
something of tbe tragic and mysterious
history of (he passenger pigion, which
sixty or seventy years ago darkened the
sky with Its vast flocks, killed whole
forests by using them as roosting places,
and glutted American markets with Its
flesh. It Is believed by scientists that
the slaughter of the pigeons did not
alone account for their complete and sud
deut disappearance along in the eighties,
but that some other factor, which has
never been explained, must have had a
part In it.
All of this has been often recited. The
passenger pigeon has been given a great
ileal of publicity, while the other Ameri
can wild pigeons are almost unknown
to the general public.
HAND-TAILED FIGEON
INHABITS ROCKIES.
The most important of these is the
band-tailed pigeon, which occurs In a
scattered and unaccountable way all over
the Rocky Mountain country and west to
the I’aclffe Ocean. The center of abun
dance is said to be at the mouth of the
Columbia River and people who live In
that section probably are familiar with
tbe birds, but most, jtersona, even in
srates whore they are found, never saw
or.e.
Tim hank tailed pigeon is n true pig
eon. it Is a good deal more like tue
average man's idea of a pigeon than thq
plfssenger pigeon was, because it be
longs to Die same jretlus as the domestic
p.gcon. We have seen this bird and it
looks exactly ilk? il big blue domestic
pigeon. It coos the same way, and when
it rises makes the same clapping sound
with the wings it haft the very pecu
liar habit of carrying itu light nest of
twigs with U when frightened during
the nesting season. This sounds fabu
lous. but Is attested by Government sci
entists. It grasps the. and eggs be
tween the legs. Sometimes merely a
single egg is carried in this way.
This pigeon has a way of appearing
suddenly in large flocks where good crops
of acorns. Us favorite food, are found.
For years afterward, if there are low
acorns, not a bird may fTPpear.
Down in the Keys of Florida they have
another wild pigeon known as the whlte
erowned pigeon. It is rare, and extreme
ly *hy,,tbe reason being that it is one
of the most toothsome of birds. A native
in Key West told us last winter that dur
ing the tourist season as high ns $5 each
is paid for the birds. It probably lias a
hard life,
A third wild pioeon comes Into' the
7'lilted States along the Rio Grande on
the Mexican border. It is is called the
red-bl!!ed pigeon, and Is a large bird of
excellent table qualities.
I*ig*oi:s are di*trlbuted all over the
world, and they make a moat Interesting
study, because they illustrate so aptly
Ibe way in which environment affeeto the
development of living creature*.
Thus, it is not generally known that
the dodo was a great flightless pigeon.
In fact, although the word dodo has
become a part of our slang, very few
people know- what it mean*.
DODO NOW EXTINCT,
WAS RIAL I’IGBON".
The dodo was as t>!g as n swan, and
could no more fly than an ostrich; yet
It wa* a true pigeon. It developed Its
peculiar physical characteristics because
it lived Itt certain Islands of the South
Seas where it had no natural enemies.
It grew large, fat, clumsy and flightless,
because it had no necessity for being
otherwise. It suddenly acquired some
enemies, when the Dutch discovered tho
island of Mauritius, which was Its home.
The Dutch sailors ran It down on foot,
killed it with club* and ate It with
great gusto. The last of the birds was
Willed lu the 17th century, but there
are written records of It, and also skele
tons. The same Is true of Its near rela
five, the ao.ltaire, which was much like
It, though smaller and a trifle quicker on
Its feet, so that It survived a few years
longer.
Blgeous live chiefly on islands, be
cause Islands are generally free of the
predatory animals which destroy such
birds. Pigeons are stupid, aud are easily
killed, while their nests are always
poorly hidden. In the tropical islands in
Australia, where they most abound, pig
eons nearly always live in trees, and
their only enemies are hawks, tl is in
teresting to note that these tropical pig.
eons nearly always are green or greenish
lu color above, so that the hawks can
not see them among the leaves. On the
other baud, the North American pigeons
and doves, which spend a good part of
their time on tho ground, are always
g' ay in color. Nature does the best she
can for her creatures, and man seems to
lo the one force that cap upset her cal
culations. He wiped out the dodo and
the passenger pigeon, just as lie has so
many other forms that had been centuries
iu achieving an adaptation to their en
vironment.

WEALTH OF SEA
MUST ASSIST
WORLD SUPPLY
Raw Material for Industry,
Food and Agriculture in
Ocean Depths.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—ls you want to
provide handsomely for your grandchil
dren, you could not do better than to
purchase some frontage on the ocean,
which is of no present value for wharfage
ore anything like that, but wilt give con
trol of a considerable area of the sea.
For the sea Is rapidly becoming valua
ble. A careful scientific look a thousand
years or so into the future, such as Mr.
H. G. W ells is addicted to, would un
doubtedly show men depending upon tha
sea as much as upon the land, If not
more, for the materials by which they
live. Indeed it will be Impossible to sup
port the enormous populations of the
future without drawing heavily upon the
ocean, which is now a wilderness of great
wealth that men have just begun to ex
plore.
Fish, of course, are tbe most obvious
and readily available product of the sea,
and the only one that we use to any
considerable extent- And we use only a
fraction of what we might There are
whole families of fishes that are never
caught, vast levels of the ocean swarm
ing with life that fishermen have never
reached.
'the Department of Agriculture, for
example, has an experimental kelp-pot
ash plant at Summerflcld, Cal., which Is
said already to have proved self-support
ing. Not only the Invaluable fertilizing
element, potash, is obtained, but also a
number of by-products. Including iodine,
common salt ammonia and bleaching
carbon. This bleaching carbon was for
merly Imported from Europe and sold
for 20 cents a pound, but has been pro
duced at this plant at 15 cents a pound,
and is said to pay for its own produc
tion and that of the potash. Some ni
trogen, most precious fertilizer of all, is
also recovered in the form of ammonia,
and a kind of tar, kelp oil and creosote
are minor by-products.
nere Is what promises so be a con
siderable industry, with a variety of pro
ducts, founded on a single class of sea.
plants. And it has enormous resources
to draw upon, for the giant kelp grows
In great groves ail through tbe Pacific'
waters, and Is far richer In potash than
the Atlantic kelps, which have been re
duced by burning In small quantities for
some time.
A Norwegian scientist has made an
elaborate study of the sea water as a
source of raw material for Norwegian
Industry, and he Is said to have shown
that It la practicable to extract metallic
magnesium from the sea water on a
commercial scale, as well as gypsum,
common salt and other minerals.
[ You must remember in this connection
i that the sea water contains all minerals
in solution as an inevitable result of the
Way the oceans were formed. The earth,
i according to the scientists, was origi
nc.lly a hot incandescent mass of vapor
containing all the elements of which
' earth, sea and atmosphere are now com
posed. As it cooled the earth formed In
a molten mass, water formed and fell
upon this in boiling torrents, making
the *“ss, which therefore had ali of tbe
elements In solution in them. Three
fourths of these salts are common salt
or sodium chloride. All of the European
, continent that lifts above the sea level
Is only one-third In bulk what the com
mon salt in the s a alone would be If it
were taken out. There is a mass, there
fore, nearly ns large as Europe, of other
salts, including those of all the min
erals. There nee. for example, only 40
ior 50 milligrams of gold to the ton of
sea water, but it has been estimated that
if all of the gold in the sea could be. ex
tracted there would be about 80,030
; pounds of it for each inhabitant of the
earth.
The sea, in a word. Is a vast mass of
' raw materials of all kinds—organic and
inorganic. It contains forests and
meadows and vast quantities of life. The
sea produces meat as well as fish, for
the whales and porpoises, not to meu-
the great family of seals and sea
; lions which spend, practically their
whole lives in the water, are warm
blooded animals. As far as we can
learn, none of the vegetable products of
the sea are used for food, but there
must be edible aea vegetables and if
this Is so, man could sustain himself
; entirely on a diet derived from the sea.
He could also obaitt from it almost all
jof the inorganic and many of the or
| ganlc materials for bis industry. Fur
thermore. it will supply him with the
| power needed to manufacture these
j things. Science has long recognized
i that both the tides of the sea and the
waves are potential sources of almost
unlimited power. They have been ex
perimentally used for the production of
power on a small scale and it is prob
able that nothing but the lack of neces
sity prevents a practicable development.
