A STRANGE PIGEON,
1t Accompanies a Railway Train from
Town to Town.


There is pigeon in Belgium which
regularly flies with the morning tra;r
that goes from Liege to Waremme. l.
began to accompany the train toward the.
end OF January, and it has done so every
LAY since then, except on three occasions.
Ihe MeuSe, one of the leading news
papers in Belgium, vouches for this fact.
ana gives other curious details about the
remarkable bird. The train starts mt
9:31 a. M, and crowd gathers daily
to see the pigeon go with it. The bird
wheels around the station while the pas
sengers are taking their seats, and as
soon rs the whistle is blown and the
Journey begins it takes up a position a
little Dehlnd the engine, and there it flies
surrounded by the moist, though warm
steam, which 1t evidently enjoys. 1t re-
talnS this position even while the train is
passing through tunnels, and apparently
is not lncOmmoded in the least by the
warm vapor. When the train reaches its
destination the bird flies swiftly along
the railroad track back to Liege where il
arrives about 11:30 O'clock.
This pigeon was born at the railroad
station in Liege, and consequently is IA
mlllar with trains, smoke and steam.
Cntll few months ago it occupied. with
eleven others, a comfortable cote, and
when this was removed from the station
by order of the authorities it refused to
"u"HuoIi ItS uIu nome, though Its eleven
companions at once sought shelter else
where. This fidelity was suitably re-
warded. The railroad officials gave the
bird carte blanche to search for food
wherever it pleased, and the public lib
orally supplied it with corn and other
dainties. A singular fact is that on the
three days when it failed to accompany
the train Belgian engine was used III
stead of an English one, and the assump-
ten is that the fuel consumed by the lat
ter gives forth a steam which the bird

ire in Southern Thibet, and in revenge
the Court OF Pekin sent an army 70
Nepaul, which, after making several
forced marches over the mountains cap
tured and slew the freebooters. recovered
the booty and imposed onegous condi-
tons of peace. Ever since then, and
even long before the name OF the En-
peror Of China has been potent through
out Thibet IN vain England knocks at
the door of this land the people Of
which pray to strange gods ard the
rites and customs OF which are unlike
those in any other part Of the world
Now, If a Lama Of Thibet goes to
Buddha-Gaya and exercises supreme
power there. il can readily be seen that
through his influence Thibet is bound
sooner or later to discard much OF her
exeIusiveness and to become even less
Of 2 terra incognita. than she IS at
present. Doubtless the Buddhists and
Theosopflists who are laboring to estab-
lish a school Of philosophy and religion
az Buddha-Gaya had this object in view
when they conceived the idea OF plac-
ing full power in the hands Of a Lama;
az any rate. the conviction among those
who are competent to speak with au-
thority is that this new school will do
more to make Thibet known to the out
side world than diplomats and warriors
have been able to DO during all the past
centuries
That Thibet is worth knowing and
that there are many mysteries in the
country which have never been revealed
to foreigners is we'll known. and even
cursory glance through Prince Cch-
tomskii's book shows that no one can
hope to acquire a thorough knowledge Of
buddhism and Of its influence IN the
East unless he can find some means II
studying religious life in Tibet. As the
illustrations which accompany the story
indicate, Buddhism in this mysterious
land is far more than mere worship
of Buddha. since instead of one deity
the Thibetans worship several both gods
and goddesses. and also are ever on
their guard against a host Of demons
Quaint indeed are some of their rites,
notably the Tsam dance. which has
deep occult religious significance, and
well worthy of study also is the curious
picture of a Lama's house. showing, as It
does. the figure Of Buddha and other
religious emblems.
In this country and throughout Europe
there are many persons who, while not
professed followers of Buddha, are vet
firm believers in his doctrines. and with
out exception they viii be glad t. know
that a movement is on foot to establish

philosophy and religion in the Far East
The general public viii also be inter-

her doors to foreigners Finally. to

and Theosophists the news must certainly
he welcome that at last there is good
hope Of finding the long lost diamond

more than this, however, they propose
to do Near the temple they intend To

tured Buddhists and within a stones

interests of all who come to Buddha-

Furthermore. a paper is TO De published

but it will also be a sort Of International
monastery. or, in other words a haven
Of rest for all foreign believers in Bud
dha who may come from time to time %
make a pilgrimage to this site OF his
ancient shrine.
According to this novel plan says
Prince Uchtomskij, "a whole town Is
practically to DC established at Buddha-
Gaya." and Theosophists and Buddhists
viii unite in spreading its reputation as
the one central school Of Oriental learn
ing and Of Buddhist belief BY doing 50
they hone TO exert a beneficial Influence
on Brahninized India and 10 gradually
win back countless members Of the num-
erous heterodox sects to a belief in the
doctrines OF the teacher"
Singular as it may seem the estab-
lishment Of an international headquarters
for Buddhists at BUddha-Gaya is likely
also 10 be OF exceptional political sig
nifcance It would not IL Buddha-Gaya
were merely to become a religious cen
ire. but the reason why it probably viii
is because a famous Lama Of Thibet
IS to become the presiding genius Of
Buddha-Gaya I4amalsm is the Bud
Ghisrn of Thibet, and hence it IS fitting
that a great Lama should become the
Pontifex Maximus Of this new school
Of nineteenth century Buddhism. Yet at
first sight there seem to be insuperable
difficulties in the way Of this project.
In the first place, there are no per-
sons in the world who are quite so
exclusive and in a sense so intolerant
Of foreigners as the Thibetans, and in
the second place there is no city or town
in the world Of which so little is known
as Of Lha-sa. and yet it is from Lha-sa
that the Lama viii come who is to
preside over Buddha-Gaya.
The question" says Prince Uchtom-
ski, 'is in view of the peculiar stu
alton Of Lha-sa, Is II possible for Lama
hailing from it 10 do effective work in
the Fatherland OF Buddhism? 1t must
be remembered that no foreign Power
has as yet to any extent exercised an
influence on Thlbet. China is the only
country which regards herself as having
to any degree the authority of a suzerain
and the untamed Goorkhas of Nepaul
are the only persons who have ever
ventured to lay a rough hand on her.

In the New York Herald Prince
Uchtonskij writes OF the lost diamonds

That neither of these views is correct
