PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than it's pi geons. which bring suggestion Of old-wor1d statellness into the turmoil of the city. There is a particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon- don. and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side of a huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life. for everybody pets them. Thes judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but grain and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk. while the keeper Of a coffee house religiously brings bits of broken bread for his feathered friends.
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half a dozen read CTS who make practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there one who will not scatter handful of grain from the horses nosebags

 X most extraordinary instance Of the lameness of birds in unexplored forests Is related by writer in the Na- tiona1 Geographic magazine, deserib- ing tour of exploration to the head waters of the Saskatchewan As our horses were winding through 8 deep forest, a bird appeared which resem- bled pine bullfinch, fitting from tree to tree and following Us closely Some what later it gave the most remaf tble instance Of tameness that I have ever seen, Having followed us for about two miles. 1t waited in a tree during the hustle and confusion of making camp. but in the afternoon, when all was quiet. some of our men were asleep. the bird became exceedingly familiar, walking on the ground near us and finally perching on our ex- tended hands. It was soon evident that the object of our visitor was to catch mosquitoes, which were hover ing in swarms around our heads. It pecked at A ring on my hand. at our needles, and in fact any metal article, but the climax was reached when by accident the bird saw it's own image in small looking glass which lay on the ground. Then, with extended wings and open bill, 1t uttered cries of rage and peeked madly at the glass in which an enemy appeared. Among the solitudes of mountain forests. squirrels. finches and whiskyjac0s often show unusual confidence in man, but this particular instance is remark. able. because the bird would alight on our persons even after 1t had been mo- mentarily though gently detained sev- eral ames as prisoner in my hand.
