place as the largest city in the West
Indies outside of Havana. The work
Of restoration is almost complete, and
although few vacant sites remain
unocUpied the principal shopping cen
ters and the residential area have all
been built up. The new Kingston Is
an immense improvement upon that
which went to pieces in the catas-
trophe, and there are still works Of
public Improvement to be underta-
ken
Almost without exception the new
store buildings are OF reinforced con-
crete and are as nearly fireproof as To-
cal conditions have made 1t possible.
The principal streets are adorned by
colonnades, some of very imposing
character. In King street all the pub
lie Offices have been brought together
block Is about to be erected. The
architect of these blocks of buildings
is Sir Charles Nicholson, who came
specially from England to jamaica to
study the site and prepare the plans.
The first block has cost 100000.
There is a sense of public disappoint-
ment at its appearance. For one thing,
1t is not regarded as being as actrac-
tive as a building of its kind ought to
be. The government authorities, how
ever, profess themselves to be quite
satisfied with the results and propose
to have the second block built along
identical lines.
Public gardens and open spaces
adorn the principal section of the city,
the sites of these having been acquired
by the government at considerable
cost, much against the wish of the
taxpayers. The results have, however,
more than justified the expenditure,
and Kingston Is today more of tropi'
cal town than 1t has ever been before
within modern times.
The government buildings and the
splendid structures of the Bank OF
Nova Scotia have served to alter en-
tirely the appearance of King street
from the sea northward. The harbor
front has been completely restored
and there is now talk Of a sea wall or
esplanade being constructed, not only
to facilitate shipping, but to serve as
driveway or promenade. Plans are
also under consideration for the con-
struction of a new park to cover about
forty.flve acres of land.

servers.

Harrisburg. Pa.-To the ever recur-
rent question, Are there any wild
pigeons in Pennsylvania? Chief Game
Protector Joseph Kalbfus once more
answers an emphatic no"
DR.. Kalbfus has been investigating
this subject on his own hook, and in
cooperation with other seekers after
knowledge for years, but feels that the
Wild pigeon. or passenger pigeon, is
extinct. not only in Pennsylvania. but
throughout the world, Notwithstanding
reports to the contrary.
The cause for the disappearance of
this bird, which existed In fiocks of
millions generation ago, can only be
conJectured. but 1t seems that other
causes beside wanton destruction by
man are found. DR.. Kalbfus sums up
the general situation in a letter on
the subject, which he wrote to a group
OF local sportsmen who asked him for
information on the subject. He wrote:
so many Inquiries are coming to
me regarding the presence OF wild
pigeons in the United States that

Ing of this matter. For some years
past certain individuals have been at
tempting to collect data that would
prove the presence OF the wild pigeon
somewhere In the United States or in
the world.
In the Forest and Stream issue OF
September will be found an article
by c. F. Hodge, who Is connected with
the Clark university. Worcester, Mass
who has been for some years past
investigating this matter. This gen.
tleman writes that he has received sew

to this matter, but that up to this
time he has failed to prove the pres

In the United States.
Many people write him that they
are certain OF their Identification, that
they know what wild pigeons are and
are sure the birds are passenger pig
cons. Investigation has invariably
proved them 10 be turtle doves or the
band tail pigeon, or some bird Other
than our passenger pigeon. Mr.. Hodge
says in concluding his article thai
while his investigation is not encour
aging, 1t does not prove beyond the
question OF doubt that passenger
pigeons may not yet be found and ht
proposes to continue his investigation
for another year. This, IL seems t'

PIGEON IS EXTINCT
OAi0TICI' lrDOuIE5 AY/YJ P0sf

Many reasons for the disappearance
of the pigeon have been made; the one
that seems to be the most plausible
to me is that during the time when
these birds were everywhere, there
was a horde of predatory birds and
animals living upon them, following
them up and down in their passage
through the country. For some rea-
son during the year 1879 vast numbers
OF these birds were destroyed either
by geese or by being blown to sea
in the Pacific. sailors reporting that
they sailed for many hours through
floating dead pigeons. This. 1t seems
to me, depleted the supply to such an
extent that those remaining were not
able TO Withstand the attacks of their
many enemies and gradually fell a
prey to those enemies until they be-
came extinct"

GUINEA HENS ARE ANNOYING
Neighbors Simply Will Not Endure
Longer screechine of Fowls

South Norwalk, Conn.--Two hun.
dred calliope lunged guinea hens
owned by Miss Sarah l.. Davenport OF
Wilton are now giving nocturnal con-
certs TO the great annoyance OF Miss
Davenports neighbors, whose protests
last spring forced her to get rid OF 300
dogs.
Affairs have come to pass now
where Miss Davenport's neighbors will
extend the freedom OF the city to the
dogs If she will only consent to chase
the guinea hens.
In desperation, residents OF Wilton,
a short distance from here. have asked
II. d. Ogden of New York to dig up
a law which will force Miss Davenport
to gag her pets between sunrise and
sunset. 1t was Mr.. Ogden who pro-
cured the court order prescribing capi-
tai punishment for every one OF Miss
Davenport's dogs, but when constables
went 10 execute the order the animals
had been shipped beyond the danger
zone.
Soon afterward Miss Davenport es-
tablished vocal conservatory for ambi-
tious guinea hens and at the present
time she has 200 promising perform
ers, mostly sopranos, under her care.
They change the opera every night
and on Sunday night give an extra
performance.
