The Pigeons Have by All Due Core

Laws Passed Looking to
Their Safety.
FED BY THE TRAVELLERS

Every woman thai ever went to
Venice has fed the pigeons in the
square in. front of the cathedral. Hall
the men have done the same thing.
But very lew of these tourists know
that the loves of ST. Marks can boast
of ancestry reaching in an unproken
line to the famous carrier doves Of the
thirteenth century, which Henry Dam
dola sent back to Venice with news Of
his victories.
The old chronicles tell how at this
crisis the government declared the
birds from that time forth, throughout
all the ages, blessed, and as such to be
maintained at public expense. When
Dandola himself came back he set
apart Palm Sunday following his re-
turn as the day of appropriate blessing
and ovation to the carrier doves.
Where today the -four massive bronze
horses paw the air above the west en-
trance to st. Marks, says the Rosary
Magazine, the principal ceremony Of
the day took place; the liberation of
a large number of pigeons. A little roll
of paper tied to one foo of each bird
caused it to make uncertain flight, and
in the majority of cases to fall to the
ground. These pigeons, thus readily
caught by %onlookers, We're kept by them
for Easter Sunday. when, by order of
the government. the owners made them
into pies for dinner on that date.
For those that escaped a historic flu
ture was assured. Whirling aloft, to
finally settle thickly upon upper por-
lions of the royal palace and the
Byzantine domes spires of st.
Mark, was to the ever ready supersti-
ton of the Venetian ~indisputable indi-
casion tina the protection of the long
dead saint from which the church takes
it's name having been thus directly
sought by the birds, they were from
that moent to be dedicated to ST. Mark.
Pronounced Sacred.
The pigeons of ST. Mark having, with
all due ceremony. been pronounced
sacred and under direct protection Of
the tutelary saint of Venice, the gov
eminent thereupon placed them under
the more practical earthly care of the
superintendent of corn stores. who was
solemnly instructed to feed the birds at
the city's expe..se every morning in the
great piazza.
This practice was kept up until the
troublous times Of 1897. when the poor
birds had n sorry time of it, feeding
where and when they might and suf-
fering sad depredations upon. their
numbers at the hands of the irreligious
hungry ones.
ton of law and order the municipality,
among it's first official acts, decreed the
regular daily feeding of the pigeons be
at once resumed. The only change
made was that instead of receiving
their quota of the city's corn at 8
broadcast TO them at 2 in the after
moor
At the present time the feeding of the
pigeons of st. Mark is wholly dependent
upon the bounty of strangers, which,
happens, is most generous.

MOST PROFITABLE RAILROAD.
Great Northern on Contract Will Net
a Fabulous Sum.

D. A. Wiley in Moody's Magazine.
The official announcement OF the
Hill ore deal" was to the effect that
the United States Steel corporation pays
a price on the ore mined which includes
an allowance of so cents a ton for
hauling the ore over the $50 miles
of railroad tive the range and the
shipping points. AS nearly every mile
of this railway has a down grade from
the mines, the power required Tor NOV
ing the loaded trains is so small that
the chief expense for transportation Is
learned on good authority that the total
expense per ton for this service is less
than 80 cents. Consequently this little
division of Mr.. Hills Great Northern
system will continue to be one CT the
most profitable rail lines in the world,
netting no less than 166 per cent. in
earnings, as it's freight is almost ex-
clusively range ore. The revenue it will
secure from serving the Steel corpora
ton alone can be appreciated by esti-
mating its traffic for 1907 merely. Its
profit from this tonnage will be 1915, 900
-S25 per mile of road-while, when the
maximum output is reached, in 1917.
the figures will be swelled to the enor-
nous sum Of 81. 1875 900. or SGT. 500 per
mile per annum
Ten years s James j. Hill bought
the little 35-mile railroad which Wright
& Davis had built merely to carry the
timber from their lands in northeastern
Minnesota to the Mississippi liver. AS
soon as the discovery of ore was made
the road was rebuilt, extended along
the range and given a new name. The
Eastern Minnesota, as 1t is now known,
has actually returned the Great North
ern company each yea over half Of its
original cost in net earnings-in other
words, it a paid for itself five times
