A PIGEON PLAGUE
Pigeon-feeding has , become such a popular pastime with Londoners, arid the pigeons have so multiplied, says the "Dauy, Chronicle,” that City men are. beginning to look upon the birds with a very cold eye. They complain that their'office roofs are being used too much as cotes, and that the cooing and 1 fluttering so dear to the heart of the sentimental disturb them at the'ir work. Consequently there is talk of getting the authorities to reduce their numbers. Bird-lovers are, of course, strenuously opposing this, and. staid members of the Royal Exchange, for example, are getting quite heated 1 over the matter. Some of them even talk of organising a pigeon shoot if the authorities refuse to do anything.
