Wild Pigeons Formerly So Numerous Now Absent From Favorite Roosting Places Are tho North Amerlcnn wild plgconN of Into cnlled passenger pigeons ut terly extinct, an many claim? They certainly nro nhscnt from sections In which nt times they wero n veritable ntilsanco because of numbers, espe cially In roosting plnces. They wero so numerous In flocks thut they dark ened tho sky In their flight, und when tho enrly settlers wnntcd pigeons for tho tnblo or for tho market they in vaded tho roosts with clubs, nt night, nnd knocked them down by thousands. Hlxty yenrs ngo tho Amerlcnn wild pigeons were numerous nnd hunters hnd little troublo In filling their game lings. Tho pigeons began to disappear wllh tho ndvnnco of settlement, but It Is not likely thnt tho rulhlessness of hunters Is tho only cnuso of their nbsenco nt tho present tlmo from for mer linunts nenr which settlers nro still few nnd fnr between. I'erhnps epidemics swept through the Immense llocks nnd destroyed them. This hns been suggested by n writer In tho "Sew York Hun whoso Interest evoked the following from im authority on the wild pigeon: "In 1875 Inbound vessels reported pnsslng through great schools of dend pigeons off the Atlantic coast which hnd evidently tost their way In n fog. A friend of mine coining from Kuropo wits n passenger on ono vessel which took thrco days to pnss through these mnsscs of dead pigeons. There wero millions of them." Woman Uses Less Force in Speaking Is Reason She Can Talk Longer Than Mere Man A woman can tnlk longer thnn n man, snys tho Sun Francisco Chron Icle, hecnuso sho uses less force In speaking thnn tho man does. A pro fessor hns proved by dellcnto mens tircments thnt tho barytone singer uses fnr moro energy thnn the tenor, nnd thnt tho bnBs singer uses moro force thnn cither. Tho difference hetween tho force used by tho contralto nnd the soprano singer Is marked, nnd tho contralto who sings In deep tones uses nt lenst ten times tho force of the thrilling soprano. Tho explnnntlon Is so simple thnt It Is surprising thnt the Investlgntlon was not mndo before. It has long been known that the tenor or soprano brings tho vocnl cords close together nnd keeps tho edges only vibrating by the emission of nlr. The bnss or con trnlto leaves tho space between the cords wider open nnd hns to vibrate much more of tho membranes, so thnt n considerably larger nmount of nlr Is required nnd much more forco Is er pended. Persons with high, squeaky voices often seem to bo loqunctous, and the reason Is now plnln they enn tnlk with fnr less effort thnn those who take n deeper tone nnd hnvo to use moro nlr to titter their words. Thus n woman can outtnlk n mnn becnuse sho has tho nifvnntngo of using from one-seventh to one-sixteenth less lung power.
