Arriving at Bristol exactly on time. The time
was made so evenly that the increased speed
was not apparent to the passengers, and reflects
the greatest credit on the Conductor and En-
gineer-Capt. Henry Lyle and Mr.. Chalcs j.
Harvey. This rather beats Lyles achievement

CARRIER PIGEONS Balloons and CARR

CARRIER PIGEONS. balloons and carrier
pigeons are among the prominent agents oil
communication employed in the Franco .Prus-
sian war. OF the former VIC have spoken more
than once Of the latter we propose to say O
few words now, having been asked frequently
as to the modus operaudi. The carrier pigeon
is larger than tho common pigeon, measuring
about Is inches in length and weighing about
one and quarter pounds. An appendace OF
nskcd skin hangs across lis bill, ana continues
down on either side of the lower mandioie.
Its value is estimated according to Its shape
and size. Its strong instructive love OF home
is the quality that renders 1t SO valuable ana
fits it tor its functions as carrier.
The birds arc regularly trained waen young
their trainers taking them at first short dis
tapccs from home, and then turning them
loose. Those that fail to return homo arc con.
silered stupid, and rejected as va ueloss.
Those that return home are then taken to
greater distances, progressively increased from
two miles to thousand miles. The good birds
return home with unerrlng certainty. The
birds are sometimes kept in q dark place for
some hours before they used and spariogly
ted, but abundantly watered.
The paper on which the message is written,
is carefully tied around the upper part of the
bird 8 leg, but so as not to impede its fight.
An old English ballad and line from Iasso
imply that the original way Of suspendiug the
dispatch was from the wing or around the
neck, but the above method is that now IN
use.
The employment of the carrier pigeon dates
from remote antiquity. The rapidty or the
flight OF this bird is almost incredible. Audi
bon speaks OF passenger pigeons shot IN the
neighborhood OF New York with their craws
full of rice, which tho birds could not have
procured nearer than the rice fields of Georgia
and Carolina. The same naturalist observes
that as their power of digestion is 80 great that
they entirely deccmpose food in twelve hours,
the birds which we're killed in the neigh Dor
hood OF New York, must have travelled be-
tween three and four hundred miles in SIX
hours.
When the annual trial OF the prize for the
best carrier pigeons was decided at Client, IN
1889, twenty. four birds, which had been con.
veyed from that place, wero thrown up at
Rouen st fifty-fv minutes past nine o'clock
in the morning. The distance is one hundred
aud fifty miles The first pigeon arrived in
Client in one hour and ahali sixteen came
in within two hours and a.halt, and three in
the course Of the day. Four were lost. The
raIe at which the first bird flew was ninety
miles in the hour When thrown UP the bird
rises, and when it has reached good height
will at first fly round and round and then make
off, continuing on the wing without stop or
stay, unless prevented, till Its well-kuown home
is reached.
