waiter deprecatingly admitted that he did. He
was extremely sorry, but it was a rule Of the
house II the gentleman would step into the

The fat man was extremely annoyed. and said

NEW-YORK PIGEON ROOFS

TALL BUILDINGS AND TRAINED
FOR "HOMING"
FOR HOMING."

On almost any morning man may be seen
cr The roof of one OF the high buildings in the
business district of New-York surrounded by
csTcling fiocks of pigeons There are nearly forty
rs-eons here whose home is in a large cote
hz1ilI on the top of the building. All the birds
ere hu,ning pigeons, and here the young ones
are trained make the long flights for which
carrier pigeons originally Of Belgian stock, are
famous
The roofs Of adjacent buildings formerly bore
similar coies. but by their owners have
reduced their focks until they have only few
pairs Of birds remaining. The cote is of wood
and laiticed ironwork. the top of one side being
cInuiDsty constructed of loose wires which allow
ingress but prevent esress. The tired, perhaps
wounded h0rninE pigeon. seeking his cote after
q five hundred mile fly. push these wires in
from the outside with his head and gain
entrance Once inside he is again a prisoner.
Two or three times day the pigeons receive
freedom and are allowed TO fly until they wish
TO return TO the coop. Then Icy ones and twos
and threes they descend 10 the cote and. push

struggling with another to gain footholds on
his shoulders, arms and hands, making the air
resound meanwhile with their low notes
The owner Of these birds occupies many hours
fn training the younger ones. of which there
are many in this cote, TO fly. As soon as they
have reached the age OF three months they are
taken ten miles away and started on their first
flight for home Three months afterward their
flight is increased to twenty miles From twenty
it is extended to forty-hve and from forty-five
TO sixty. Then they are entered in their first
race flight of hundred miles In the
second race they fly 80 miles the third 200
miles and the last 300 miles From that time
on they fitted to make as long flights as
their courage and powers Of endurance may
allow and they soon become veterans who have
won races covering a distance of five hundred
miles.
American racing pigeons to-day are equal TO

May S.-Interest in the Ross incident

his rason the dismissal of Professor

viction that Ross was dismissed partly
because of vague fear of dangerous
social tendencies which it was be-
