Know When They Are Hungry.


Pigeons must have the credit of pos
sessing some intelligence. A curious
and very interesting sight may be seen
each day, Sundays excepted, at one OF
the windows of the Office of Henry W.
Williams, in the Rialto building, oppo-
site the postoffice. For the past few
years some 80 or 40 pigeons have been
there regularly fed at II O'Clock. A
bushel Of cracked grain is purchased at
time for the purpose. The birds gath
er on the west side of the postofice and
watch for the window to open. They
know perfectly we'll when that hour ar
rives. If there should chance to be
any delay in opening the window, they
will often fly over to the other windows
of the same Office and tap on the glass
to remind the clerks who may be sitting
there that it is time for their breakfast.
The minute the window opens they land
on and about the sill and push and
crowd and stand on each others backs
and sometimes fight. so eager are they
to pick up the grain which is spread all
about the outside. They soon become
quite tame and readily eat out of the
hand. Boston Transcript.

Pumice Stone.

Puinice stone is porous feldspathic
scoria from volcanoes. The pores are
linear and SO fine as often to be barely
visible except by means of magnifying
glass. Its specific gravity is 22 to 2. 4
water being the unit-but by reason
of its spongy texture pieces are often
buoyant enough to float on water. 1t
consists chiefly of silica, with some
times II per cent Of lumina, per cent
of soda and per cent of potash. 1t is
of grayish shades of color, passing into
yellow and brown. The chief source
from which it is obtained for CONNER
cial purposes is Campo Bianco, one OF
the Lipari islands, where it forms hill
nearly 1000 feet high. In the arts
pumice is largely employed, mostly in
a pulverized state, as polishing mate
rial for ivory, wood, glass, marbles, etc.
It is also used in lump for grinding and
smoothing metallic surfaces, leather,
etc., and in the preparation OF parch-
ments, etc Quantities of the pulver-
lied pumice are used in making fancy

ago, and some OF the messages handed
in to me were corkers.
Zone summer had the cable win

black and greatly agitated came in and
inquired the rate per word to London.
I told them it was % cents. They con-
suited for a minute, and then one of
them asked for blank. told them
where the blanks we're, and one of them
wrote message. The other took it and
read it two or three times.
'sThen she came over TO the window
and asked again how much it was

I told her. She looked at the message
obviously. The other woman came up
to her and said, Don't you like it?'
No she said, I don't like it.

this proposition over in her mind for

THE other took the blank and read
the message few dozen times. We're
poor, she said decisively after studying
it in all its phases, and we can't save
90 cents any easier.
''This partially convinced the woman
who objected. But what will our

PRESIDENT JEFFEREY's TRIP To
SALT LAKE CITY.
He Found the Outlook Most Encour-
aging-Projected Consolidation of
the Utah Central, Sanpcte Valley
and Hot Springs Road-Notes.

President E. T. Jeffrey returned yes
terday from seven-day trip over the
Denver and Rio Grande, the Rio
Grande Southern and the Rio Grande
Western, says the Denver News. The
party with Mr.. Jeffrey as his guests
included Vice-President Purdy, of the
Rock Island, who was accompanied by
his sister and his two daughters, Miss
Fannie and Miss Bertha Mrs. Wake
field and Miss Sanger were also OF the
party.
Il found the business men through
out the state much encouraged and
more hopeful of the future than they
have been for many months, said Mr..
Jeffefy in answer to the query as to
how he found business. "A feeling
that confidence has been restored is
clearly evident in the conversations l
had with many business men and farm
ers. Alphabetically the state is in eX-
cellent condition. The grain and alfalfa
crop is an exceedingly large one and
the peaches which l saw around Grand
Junction and other points are not only
large but of exceedingly fine flavor. In
fact, the western slope mas every rea-
son to be thankful for an abundant
fruit harvest.
''I found that the gold interests of
the state were attracting a great deal
of attention. Eastern capital is being
enlisted to supplement the efforts of the
Colorado prospectors. The coal mines
are all running, with the single eXcep-
tion of those at New Castle, where
found that the owners do not contem-
! plate opening their mines at present.
81 found all business interests con-
siderably better than they have been
for many months. Alphabetically the
state is in much better condition tnan
| it has been for years"
When asked as to the basis FOR the
rumor that his name had been men
toned in connection with the vacancy
in the Nickle Plate. presidency, Mr.
Jeffrey said: 81 know nothing OF It,
except what have read in the papers
since my return"
Vice-President Purdy, of the Rock
Island expressed himself as greatly
pleased over the outlook in Colorado
He had many f1attering things to say
of the Rio Grande, summing them all
UP in the statement that Colorado
may we'll be proud of this magnlhcent
railway system"
81 would like to say that went over
the Rio Grande Western" concluded
Mr.. Jeffery, las far as Salt Lake, and
I found that road in excellent condi'
ton. In Salt Lake 1 met many pusl-
ness men and they, too, are beginning
to feel greatly encouraged at the out
