wild or passenger pigeon has been less
fortunate-or, rather, more unfortunate
than the buffalo. Within the memory
of men still young, these birds existed all
over the country, in literally unnumbered
millions. Single fiocks were seen so large
that, even when moving at express-train
speed they covered the whole sky Tor
hours as with dense cloud. Lighting In
a forest, their weight often worked
more havoc with the trees than the Sc
verest of winter storms, and in day
they could sweep broad fields as clean as
though prairie fire had traversed them.
Yet, the Smithsonian Institution an
nounces that urgent appeals sent to many
States, and the active personal EFFORTS OF
agents, spurred to industry by the oner
of "A large reward, have failed to bring in
a single specimen of bird which, only
a few years ago, could be-and. unfortu-
nately, was-killed by the wagonload,
with no better weapons than sticks. This
result OF their efforts has convinced the
Smithsonian naturalists that the pigeons
have gone TO join the great aux. and
they mourn the carelessness that has left
the United States without even the poor
solace to be found I'm museum case full
of well-assorted and arranged specimens
Of the departed birds.

GOLD IN GEORGIA.
Director Wn1cott Says 1t Il There in
Grent Quantities.
(Atlanta Constitution.)


Senator Bacon says that the converse
ton he had in Washington recently with
Professor Wolcott, the director OF the
United States Geological Survey, was of
the most interesting character. Profess
sor Walcott is, in his department, one
of the most learned and scientific men In
America.
In discussing the gold ores Of Georgia
he agreed with the statement that the
conditions were different from those any
where else. In addition to other varying
differences, he said there was general
condition of the Georgia gold ores found
nowhere else; that science had not yet
learned how to successfully deal with,
and. on account of which 1t was as yet
impossible to extract all the gold from
the ores. Scientific men are working on
the problem, and it will doubtless some
day be solved.
In speaking of this Professor Walcott
said that IL he had process by which
all the gold could be extracted from the
Georgia ores he would rather have the
Georgia gold-helds than to have the Klon-
dixie"
'"These were his very words" said
Senator Bacon, land, coming from the
head of the geological department of the
United States, they are certainly most
remarkable and significant"
Senator Bacon is very deeply impressed
with the Importance Of having an assay
office of the United States Government
established in North Georgia, II 1t is pos
sible to do So Whether this will be
found practicable he does not now know,
but he intends to make the effort to Sc
cure it.
All this has developed since the adj
journment of Congress, and he has had
no opportunity to confer on the subject
with Senator Clay and the George repre-
sentatives. He is satisfied. however, that
they will all recognize it's Importance,
and that each and all Of them will join
with him in the effort to develop this
great and important interest of the State.
With the Senators and Representatives
all working for the accomplishment of
the common end, he thinks a great deal
can be accomplished.

A Distinguished Dog.
Paducah Visitor.)

Colonel Bob Noble. of the Paducah
Transfer Company, has the distinction
of owning the only dog In the city of
Paducah. and perhaps in the country
that has been made the subject of special
legislation. The dogs name. Danger"
has been enrolled upon the statute books
OF the city as being exempt from all taxa
ton. When the present dog law was
enacted number OF years ago, Danger"
was exempted from taxation by special
amendment. For years the dog had at
tended every meeting OF the Council.
and had a place under the table occupied
by the City Clerk. When the dog ordi-
nance was under discussion, pending It's
passage, Congressman Charles X. Wheeler
introduced an amendment 10 the law
excepting Bob Mobiles Danger" and
the ordinance Is so recorded on the
statute books to-day. Danger" is a
small. yellow specimen OF the canine
family. and was picked UP by Mr.. Noble
as tramp several years ago. His ap-
pearance now does not indicate that the
name is very appropriate one. but the
genial Mr.. Noble would not part with him
for any sum.
