Roosts in Unaccustomed Latitude and
Perturbs Hotel Nethefiand Guests.
The manager Of the Hotel Netherland,
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street,
discovered yesterday that he was entertain
ing q guest who contributed nothing to his
revenue and did not even take the trouble
to register. The guest was a source Of
annoyance to some OF the paying patrons,
and the manager decided TO dispossess
the squatter, which was nothing more
nor less than hen carrier pigeon that had
made her home on a ledge near the top Of
the building.
Mrs. Pigeon had hastily constructed
rude nest ON the ledge as she heard the call
Of the stork and depositing two eggs therein
proceeded to set on them. Where she came
from no one about the hotel knew. She
had probably been on homing flight
when her maternal instincts induced her to
seek a resting place. and liking the looks OF
the Hotel Netherland she dropped down
there.
She might not have been disturbed IN
her new quarters II some pigeons Of the COM
mon variety had not gathered about the
the hotel guests. Mrs. Pgeon herself
remained silent in her nest while she was
being serenaded by the gallants Of the COM
mon tribe.
One OF the hotel employees took the pigeon,
her nest and the two eggs from the ledge
and carried them to the Central Park me-
nagerie and turned them over to Director
Smith. The eggs were taken to the flying
cage and put In the dovecote and the
pigeon also was liberated there. without
ma king any fuss over her temporary I'M
prisonment she climbed upon the eggs
again as though determined to stiok until
the youngsters were Matched out.

collegians, by Finding Source Of
Stream, Accomplish Great Feat
Engineer Tells Tale.

Chief Engineer John F. Wal
lace recently called attention to
the fact that an American civil
engineer, Boyd Ehe, with a party
of young college men, had in four
months made an important dis
cOvery in connection with the
Panama canal which the French
engineers had failed to make in
Is years.
1t was no less than the finding
of the sources of the Chag-es river
and of a means of diverting that
stream to the Pacific ocean, there
by effecting a saving of $20,000,-
600, which may be devoted to ex-
cavating a sea level waterway.
Mr.. Wallace has we'll stated that
the far reaching Importance of the
discovery made by this party, for
to control the Chagres is to build
the canal. The enormous fresh
cts Of this river were difficulties
with which De Lesseps' engineers
were unable to cope successfully.
but this work was done in few
months by the engineering corps
under the charge of Mr.. Ehle.
Boyd Ehle was born in 1866 at
Fort Plain, N. Y. He received his
early education in the public
schools and at Clinton Liberal in
stitute. Entering the class of 'S5
at Cornell university, he was
graduated in civil engineering with
high standing.
After about three years spent
in railroad construction in Texas.
Indian territory, New Mexico and
Colorado he went with Chief En-
5ineer Menocal to Nicaragua and
.'emained there until 1898, return
ing in 1897 with the Walker com
mission to take charge of the
Darien survey.
Mr.. Ehle was employed on i'm

short time, and also at Detroit
