CITY Pigeons.

An outcome of the recent pathological
congress in New York will be the sending
out of circular letters to all the principal
cities of the United States. inviting them
to follow the picturesque example of Eu-
ropean municipalities in adopting feath-
that the hocks of pigeons which, in Eu-
rope. are attached to so many public
buildings, may be made an American fea-
ture well.
a prominent member of the ornithologi-
cal congress said: THE matter may at
realiz what a delightful addition these
pigeons make to the city landscape. how
their white plumage relieves the dull and
Donderous facades of the average public
building. We have few enough birds in
our cities and the sight of the pigeons
about the streets would assuredly prove
grateful. The question of expense need
scarcely be taken into consideration at all.
The citizens at large, both old and young,
are pretty sure to look after that In
Venice the st Marc pigeons are fed al
most entirely by voluntary contributions.
Some American cities already possess
focks of pigeons attached to their larger
buildings: but / think that the civic gov
ernments ought TO interest themselves in
the notion. 1t is their duty to make the
streets looks as attractive as possible, and
modest investment in a few pigeons.
Pigeons are not to be scared away by
great crowds. You can see them in Lon

museum, or walking hither and thther
through the throngs in Trafalgal square.
dingy London afternoons. and, since every
little helps, we are anxious to take this
means of lending variety and color to our
American streets.
