1900 VOLUNTEERS WANT TO

New York, Sept. 24.-Those who

We're mistaken. Peary had great an

If he were to start again he would

Lieut.. Shackleton, who got WITHIN
two degrees of the South Pole, had a
similar experience. He gained glory
by his exploit, but no cash. In TACT
he was left by it $4,000 in debt, which
he proposed to pay by featuring III

finally made him grant. Now Capt

sieging him for berths.

SPECULATION IS RIFE AS
TO OCCUPANT OF CAR.
Vas There Another Man ilr Wrecked
Automobile!

Was there another man in the au-
tomobile wrecked here yesterday
morning, and if 50, who is he? And
why did he run away in such cowaFdly
manner when dying people were cali
ing piteously for assistance? The be-
lief, generally expressed. is that there
were four occupants of the Inflated
car, the fourth and unknown one a
man, but while speculation is rife, no
one appears to know his identity, ex-
act1y. The woman who survived the
disaster, it is said. declares there were
but three people in the car, but many
are there who hold to a contrary be-
lief. If it is true that another man
was in the car his act in running
away instead of rendering aid, as did
the woman, is excreable.

Clouds of Pigeons.

What is said by the owners to be
the largest pigeon farm in the world
is at Los Angeles, Cal. There are
cotes for more than 100000 Of the
birds and every nest is occupied, with
numbers of the birds roosting on out
buildings and in temporary nesting
places.
The birds eat two tons OF wheat
each day, says the Technical World.
with large quantities Of green stuff
and other foods of which regular ac-
count is not kept, as it is obtained
from surrounding farms in exchange
for fertilizer from the pigeon ranch.
When the birds are disturbed at their
eating they rise from the ground In
huge white clouds, spotted here and
there with patches of blue and rufous
coated pigeons. Of late years the
colored birds have been gradually
weeded out, until now the popula-
tion of the place is practically all
made up of snow white birds.
In the nesting season, when the
cotes are full of young and eggs, the
pigeons stay close around the farm,
but at other times of the year they
gather in great white clouds over Crit
fifth Park, the largest city park in the
world. At feeding timethey fly about
the three men constantly employed
to care for them, settling on their
shoulders, heads and arms, even try
ing to get into the feed sacks, from
which the wheat is thrown in great
scoopfuls.
The products of the farm, squads,
young birds and adults, goes entirely
to the large hotels of Los Angeles and
surrounding resorts.

The English chronicler has record
ed that the youth of London in the
twelfth century understood the art OF
flying over the ice like birds in the
air. but the fashion of skating is far
more ancient. An Icelandic saga re-
lates how the Norwegian hero Firth
Joy not only traced verses upon the
polished mirror, but also carved the
dear name of Ingebord.
Skates have been discovered near
Spandan in Germany, which those
competent to express an opinion at
tribute to period of 3, 900 years ago.
These skates were made from bones
of horses, figured and perforated to
attach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorfelds in Fins
bury, and like discoveries have been
made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree.
