DOVES On BosToN coiIlaoN


What squirrels ara In Central park,
New York. doves are on the Common.
Boston.
In Central park squirrels scamper
over the walks and the lawns, clilnb
trees and approach people sitting on
the benches to be fed. They hop up
on the benches and ON to friendly
peoples shoulders and they eat out
OF peoples hands. On Boston common
the doves are Just as sociable.
They appear to depend upon the
people in the park for their subsist-
ence and they are very tame. They
walk along the paths quite undis-
turbed and approach people without
the slightest fear. Both children and
adults feed them.
Facing the east side Of the common
is fremont street. q busy shopping
thoroughfare. Along the north end Of
the common runs Park street, from
fremont to Beacon. at the statehouse.
On the fremont street side Of the COM
mon within its borders and not far
from Park street are entrances to two
of Bost0n's subways. This northeast
corner Of the common at fremont and
Park streets is paved with concrete,
making there q plaza perhaps q hum
dred feet square.
1t is busy spot, with all Of . busy
city's stirring activity; but into this
plaza the doves come Just the same
and with all their accustomed seren-
ity. In this busy place the other day
stood tall young man feeding doves,
Of which there were thirty or forty
about him. some q few feet away and
placidly walking toward him or around
him. and some gathered Immediately
In front Of him. under his hands, while
occasionally one would fly up TO alight
on his shoulders.
Frequently q dove appeared perched
upon his head or one stood upon his
shoulder; often one alighted upon the
fingers Of the hand in which he held
the food and ate out of 1t. Once q
dove that had perched on his shoulder
stepped from there with calm delib.
GRAFTON, step by step. down his upper
arm and then out along his forearm
to eat out of his hand.
So, in one way and another but ever

activity, they kept up their evolutions
about him. Nearby stood small boy
dropping crumbs and he had a few
doves around him. but most Of the
doves seemed to find the tall young
man the greater attraction.

Sea sleds are the latest craft to be
considered by the United States navy
for coast defense work. The navy is
experimenting with a half-motor boat,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., which neither
flies over the water nor cuts through
it. but skips along its surface. A a.
foot boat of this type has made 36h
miles an hour at navy test. 1t is
hoped to obtain a boat that will carry
men at IS or 60 miles an hour. It Is
said 200 of such craft could be built
at the cost Of a single scout cruiser
and would be much more effective.

MoyE 70 HONOR SCIENTIST


H1r away IN South America, -
small and unfrequented island In
Lake Tticaca. stands little crum-i
bling tombstone which marks the last
resting place Of once noted Amer
ican explorer. Jrof James Orion. Only
In the hearts of his surviving rela-
ttes and Of Vassar graduates OF some
forty years ago is his memory en-
shrfned, and until recently compare
lively few even of these remembered
how Orion lost his life and where his
body lay. They have now, however.
learned something Of the particulars
Of his death and the location of his
grave. and movement has been start
ed among the Vassar alumnae of the
cary seventies and soon a marble
shaft will rise to mark the spot where
James Orion sleeps.
An article by Edward Albes in the
Monthly Bulletin of the Pan-American
Union served to awaken the memo
ries Of those who had forgotten. and
struck responsive chord in the
hearts OF the elder Vassar women.
Orton. who was born at Seneca
Falls. N. T.. in 1880. and educated at
Williams college and Andover Theo-
logical seminary. entered upon his ca
reer as scientist in 1866. when he
was appointed Instructor In natural
sciences in Rochester university. In
1867 . scientific expedition to the
equatorial Andes and the River Anna
zon was organised under the auspices
Of the Smithsonian institution. and
Professor Orton was selected as its
leader. AS q result of this expedi-
ton many hitherto unknown speci-
mems Of natural history were collect
ed. and today form portions Of the
collections In the museums of such
well-known repositories as the Smith
sonian institution at Washington, the
Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Science. the Boston Society Of Natural
History. the Peabody Academy Of
Science. and Vassar college. while the
bulk of the collection was purchased
by Ingham university.
Upon his return to the United States
Professor Orton was offered the chair
Of natural history at vassar college In
1869, with which institution he re-
mained until his tragic death In 1877.
In 1873 he made a second journey
across South America from Para up
the Amazon to Lima. Peru. and to
Lake Titicaca, making valuable eth
biological collections of Incarial relics.
In 1876 he organized third expedi-
tion. with the object Of exploring the
Great Bent river, branch Of the
Madeira, one Of his companions be-
ing DR.. Edwin Ruthven Heath, dis
coverer of the River Heath in South
America. who is still living in Kansas
City.
This expedition reached the mouth
of the river. where most of the equip
ment and supplies were lost Orton
and his few companions made the ter
rible 600-mile Journey back to La
Paz through forest and jungle amid
incredible hardships. but on crossing
Lake Titicaca on the way to Puno
the intrepid scientist died September
Is. 1877, from the exposure incurred.
Subsequently his body was taken to
Esteves island by sympathetic friends,
and some years ago Scotch engineer
named Creighton built with his own
hands the rough monument which now
marks the grave.
