which will give them more than double
the space occupied by them at present

Situated at the sharp angle where
the Arroyo Seco, or dry ditch "a ra-
vine that extends from Los Angeles to
the Sierra Madre mountains, some four
teen miles away, and the Los Angeles
river (at this point eighteen miles
from the sea- meet, is one Of the most
curious exhibits of pigeon life ever
presented to the eye.
Here ten thousand pigeons, mostly
light in color, are found perched upon
the roofs Of eight frame sheds. The
walls Of these sheds are composed OF
hundreds Of empty gasoline cans with
one. Of the ends taken out and wooden
boards with apertures large enough for
pigeons substituted, and thousands Of
wooden fruit boxes furnished with
square openings. The ground is gener-
ally covered with pigeons until a stran-
ger arrives, when there is great whir-
ring noise, the air is full of wings and
thousands Of pigeons return to their
brethren on the roofs Of the sheds. =.
This institution belongs to one of
Los Angeles enterprising citizens, and
forms great attraction to visitors
from all the country round, as we'll as

a continual practice of robbing this
vast aggregation of pigeon roosts. Two
large dogs properly qualified to bark
and bite are located at each end OF
the grounds, about 200 feet from each
other. These are secured safely by
long chains to spikes in the ground. -:

WORLD POWER.
The Moral and the Intellectual as Well
as the Material. -

AAS NAOIaA ana INC 1uCeIectual as Well
as the Material. :!
Whenever the little American Pessi-
mist begins to weep fresh tears over
the gross materialism and vulgarity of
his country's prominence as a world
power because Congress does not agree
with his own economic views, two or
three of those troublesome things call
ed facts rise up to dam his tears into
stagnation. American scientists are
found to command the same attention
in the London, Paris and Berlin circles
Of savants that American statesmen
and f1nanciers are commanding in
Lombard street and in the bourse. In
fact, they have been receiving this de,
gree Of respect for many mole years
than the statesmen. and. .,f1nanciers
have, only the newspapers do not say
as much about them. American art, es-
peciaAy in landscape painting. appeal
ed to European .,connoisseuts before
the Chicago Fair Of 1893, and the Paris
exhibition Of 1900 Compelled the world
to recognize us. as first class power
in that realm also, including the prov
inces of sculpture and architecture, as
we'll as painting. Now it is announced
that the exhibition Of the Vienna Acad-
emy Of Arts, which is the largest held
there for twenty years. contains forty
canvases by sixteen American artists.
The worldwide recognition which is
accorded to American learning is
shown by the fact that our universities
receive limitations even to such far
away functions as the fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the University Of Sydney. New
South Wales.
These details are not to be gloated
over in any spirit Of lingo :bumptious-
ness, for it is quite as true that he who
says, "What brave boy ami" is only
a Little Jack Horner as it is true thar
he who excuses, accuses, OF that he
who belittles America belittles himself.
But it is worth while to gain hope and
courage from the fact that: our moral
and intellectual influence, which can
not be forced into being undeserved,
grows apace with our material and
commercial influence, which alone
might be credited only to bigness and
the fear Of it. but which when so az
companied is means to the usefulness
and uplifting value of American excel
lence to the world.-New YORK Press.

are usually dyes) and have decided that

TIE BELGIAN CONSTITUTION.
Debate on Revision Begun. 1t is Believed the
Government Will Reject Revision.
(By the Associated Press.

Brussels, April 16.-The diplomatic,
private and public galleries of the
Chamber of Representatives were filled
to their capacity today when the debate
on the proposed revision of the Consti-
tuition began. M. Baernaert, the former
president of the chamber and secretary
of state opened the discussion. He was
frequently interrupted by M. Wander
welde, the Socialist leader, with shouts of
Universal suffrage is supreme"
M. Baernaert expressed the belief that
the present Belgian electoral system was
satisfactory. He referred to the numer-
Gus Socialist laws passed during the last
fifteen years, at the behest of Socialists.
and the latters sole recognition of the
passage of those laws was the declara-
ton of a general strike, accompanied by
threats of violence.
Feeling is gaining ground that the
Government will entirely reject the pro-
posed revision of the Constitution.
