The Carrier-PigeOn.

THE speed of the carrier-pigeon has been
generally overrated. Careful experiments
have shown that thirty miles an hour is
the average, although, in a few we'll
authenticated instances, thrice that speed
has been attained. In 1908 an English
gentleman laid large wager that his pig
con could fly thirty-tiye miles an hour. 10
decide the question, three of his trained
birds were taken exactly that distance
from his residence, and let loose in the
presence of witnesses. They arrived home
together in just fifty-three minutes, or
seven minutes ahead of time. In 1888,
during the great annual trial of carrier
pigeons at Ghent, twenty-four birds were
let fly at Rouen, one hundred and fifty
miles distant, at five minutes before ten
in the morning. There flight was care
fully timed. One of them reached Client
in one hour and thirty minutes, having
traversed the distance at the marvellous
rate of more than ninety miles an
hour. Sixteen made the journey in two
hours and half. Several were never heard
from. In the East wonderful stories are
told of their speed and endurance. The
traveller Lithgow tells us that one will
carry letter from Babylon to Aleppo in
forty-eight heurs, the place being thirty
days journey apart by the slow modes of
travel used in the East. But the stories OF
early travellers are to be taken with many
grains of allowance. Although for short
distance, or in exceptional cases, the car
rier-pgcon may attain much greater
speed, thirty miles an hour is probably its
average. 1t could not sustain long flight
with greater velocity.
Even this speed cannot be maintained
without rest. for the carrier-pigeon has
not the endurance which belongs to many
birds of passage. 1t always descends at
night for shelter and repose, and hence it
can rarely fly across wide eXpanse of
water. TO this was partly owing the fail
ure OF the attempt to use them for convey
ing intelligence from the arctic explorers,
and partly to another cause. Some writers,
chiefly poets and romancers, would have
us believe that the carrier-pigeon finds his
home from remote places by kind of in
stinct: but this is not the case. Its flight
is guided by sight alone. When let loose
from confinement it rises to great height
in the air by series of constantly en-
arging circles, until it catches sight of
some familiar landscape by which to direct
its course. If flown on foggy day it soon
becomes bewidered, and either returns to
the place of flight or is lost. Let loose
from balloon on a clear day, and too far
above the ground for objects thereon to be
discerned even by its piercing vision, in
stead of rising, it drops perpendicularly,
like plummet, until it ncars the earth,
when it begins to wheel round in descend
ing spiral, constantly increasing in diam
etcr, evidently for the purpose above NEIL
toned, of ascertaining its locality and dis
covering some indcltions for the direction
of its course - HnrDer'S fer 1D1lL,

Advance of the Human Race.

PROF. HENRY, who writes on the impor-
tance of the cultivation of science, says in
the Popular Science Monthly:
Whatever opinion may be adopted as
to the origin of man, it cannot be denied
that we have descended from race of an
cestors but little elevated above the brute
from naked savages, the deniZens of caves,
feeding upon wild fruits, devouring shell
fish, or struggling for mere existence
with the large quadrupeds of the times,
gradually emerging from this state by the
invention of weapons of flint and bone,
through long geological periods, into
pastoral condition; thence, again. into a
higher state of mental development,
which eliminated in the civilization of
Greece and Rome, in which the true in
sentiment and the beautiful in art were
developed in an astonishing degree. This
progress was mainly due to the migratory
character of the races which contributed
to the condition we have mentioned.
Tribes which remain entirely isolated
may utilize the suggestions and facilities
of life which are afforded them by their To-
calities, and when these are exhausted be-
come permanently stationary, but tribes
impelled by want of subsistence, or the de-
sire of conquest to migrate to other locall-
ties, as is stated to have been the case with
the Aryan race in their migration from
IIlc EdSJ ~ lllc w cSu. SdliicI up JiC scpd-
rate civilization as they advance, and
hence, by accretion or intercourse with
others, rise to higher plane. But this
mode of advance is limited, and could
make no further progress than that cX-
hibited in the brilliant though unsymmct-
rical civilization of Greece and Rome.
| This civilization, though it challenges our
admiration and marks an important era
in the history of the human race, was de-
ficient in two of the essential elements of
further progress, namely-tirst, in the
prevailing influence of the higher and
holer morality of Christianity; and,
secondly, in that scientific knowledge of
the laws of nature which enables man to
control its operations and to employ its
energies to effect his purpose in ameliora-
ting the condition ef the earth. Without
these elements of progress the Romans
could not advance beyond limited de-
gree, and finally fell prey to their bar

Suicide by a Monkey.

Mr.. DARWIN may find new proof of
mans development from the ape, in the
fact that monkeys are known to commit
deliberate suicide to escape pain, or other
troubles. The following case is in point
A playful assistant to a fish-monger,
with basket of crabs on his arm, took it
into his head, while passing the monkeys
house in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris,
the other day, that it would be amusing
to give crab to one of the monkeys
which held out its "hand" through the
wires of its cage. The animal, we are
told, looked at it curiously, then raised it
to his mouth. The crab-hitherto inert
now recovered its self-possessiOn, and
took hold of the monkeys nose between
its large claws. The other, with pierc-
ing cry, rushed to the roof of the building,
clinging to chord. The crab continued
to maintain its hold, the monkey frantic
ally endeavored to tear it away. Weary
of the struggle, he suspended himself to a
bar, by the tail, and swang violently to
and fro, hoping thus to throw of his
enemy, the other apes sitting below on the
ground, looked on with astonishment at
the strange spectacle. Suddenly the poor
animal became mOtionless. He was, an
eyewitness suggests, thinking, and his
reflections, we are told, were ofa melan-
choly character as they ended in suicide,
He let GO the bar to which he had been
suspended, and falling headforemost, was
killed instantly, his nose still In the claws
OF his prosecutor.

A Disagfeeable Visitation.

A TURKISH paper gives an account of a
curious forced emigration which has re-
Gently produced great excitement on clas-
sic ground. On the European banks of
the Hellespont stands the city of CALI
poll, interesting as the first possession of
the Turks in Europe in 1857; ard nearly
opposite to it is Lamsaki, a village long
renowned for the vineyards in its neigh
borhood, and situated near the site of the
celebrated Lampascus of classic times.
During the autumn the authorities of Gal
lipoli came to the conclusion that there
were in that town-as where are there
not 2--teo many ownerlcss dogs about;
and instead OF issuing death-warra lts
against these vagrants, they took the eX-
traordinary course of exporting them
to their opposite neighbOrs across the
Hellcspont, who were already plentifllly
provided with canine treasures. On the
arrival ofthese two thousand immigrants.
who were very unruly on the passage,
they started, in quest of food it may be
supposed, to the mountains; but not find
ing anything to suit their palates, return
ed to the town. Here the tug of war
commenced. The Lamsakian CANNES, on
recognizing the situation, "turned out to a
dog" and frightful conflict, with terri
BILE howlings and barkings, ensued for
four hours. At the end of that time the
foreign foe was worsted, and, beating a
retreat, endeavofed to allay the pangs of
hunger by eating the grapes, and thus
doing really serious damage. The people
then had to turn out: two hundred dogs
were killed, and the rest retreated, but
of course only to return. The Djeridei
Hauadis concludes the account by mildly
saying that the Lamsakians are much dis
gusted by the eccentric conduct of the
Gallipoli magistrates, who ought of course
to have sent their canine cmigrants to a
desert island.
