BIRD NOW ALMOST EXTINCT
Wild Pigeon, Once Counted in Mil
lions, So Rare as to Be Account
ed Curiosity.

The great reduction of bird life in
America is illustrated by story
from Montreal of the capture of q
bird now rare which formerly was
seen by the million. This unusual
pathological specimen was sent
carefully packed in a pasteboard box,
by parcel post from Odell Town,
Quebec, to the Montreal Witness.
The bird was taken to J. B. Innes,
secretary of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals, and
also secretary of the Quebec Fish and
Game club. He definitely identified
the bird as wild pigeon or dove, a
species now almost extinct. Officers
connected with the society. entered
the Office while Mr.. Innes was inspect
ing the bird, and they each at once
recognized it as wild dove.
The sender of the little feathered
creature was John Hough, of Odell
Town, Quebec He explained his Tea'
son for mailing it was to have it
identified. as he had heard queries
had been made regarding wild
pigeons.
The wild, or passenger, pigeon, so
named from it's habit of passing from
one part of the country to another,
was once a resident of southern Can.
ada and the northern United States.
One naturalist computed that there
were more than a billion of these
birds in a continuous stream which
he saw on one occasion. 1ncessant
the forests destroyed the pigeons, the
disappearance Of which was fastened
by series of very cold winters be-
tween 1860 and 1879.

SNAPSHOTS AT RIGHT ANGLES
German Scientist Apparently Looks
Away From Subject While
Taking a Picture.

Herr DR.. Weissenberger of Berlin,
who is visiting with the German doc
tors, is somewhat Of an amateur de-
tective along scientific lines. Part Of
his equipment consists of a camera,
which is calculated to deceive even
the most wary subject. DR.. Weissen-
berger has photographed every men,
Der Of the German physicians party
he wanted to, and none Of them knew
a thing about it. He lifts what looks
like small telescope to his eye and
looks away from the very man he
wants to snapshot His interest seems
to be centered at right angles from the
subject, but if the man who Is unwit-
tingly photographed CHANGED to be-
swift enough he might catch the in
slant CLEAN Of powerful little lens
set in the side of the rounded barrel
Of the fake telescope. As the oper-
ator of the camera looks apparently
out to sea, for instance. the image Of
things beside him are focused clear be-
fore him.
His finger is on a hair spring and
a pressure records what was on the
finder. Detectives in Berlin are being
equipped with the camera, which costs
about 500, so finely constructed are
they. The success met with in taking
suspects for comparison with existing
police photographs has proved the
value of the crafty little instrument
