Flight Of Carrier Pigeons.

A writer in the Spectator says: Pains
have been taken 10 ascertain the rate of
pigeons flight The English dragon
is swifter bird than the--Belgian. But
he flies low, and is of small, if any, intel
lect. L do not know whether this ques-
ton is or can be settled. For long dis
tancee the Belgian fanciers had in the
year 1865, by induction of many in
stances, concluded that pigeon can fly,
on an average, /, l64 metres minute, or
1878 yards, but if such is the average
taken for distances extending diagonally
over France, it must be evident that
what a pigeon can do over two or three
hundred miles only must be consider
ably greater Then, again, it almost in
conceivable that pigeon starting from
San Sebastian for Liege, suppose, should
be able TO adhere to the true mathemat-
zeal line OF short distances. Whether III
obedience to the currents of winds or in
obedience to the landmarks he selects,
he must follow, not straight, but a
broken line of some sort. Now the COM
putations made by the Belgian societies
are, 80 far as we know, invariably on the
principle of taking the crows flight
from corner 10 corner, ana llleH ulNluluB
the number of miles by the number of
hours between the time of departure and
the time of arrival. The exact distance
between OAK and Liege is, am told,
$50 miles as the crow flies, !. C., in the
mathematical line on true map. But q
pigeon can scarcely follow the true
mathematical line, and to accomplish 600
he may be supposed to fly 700, 800, or
1000 miles in broken lines, all tending
more or less homewards. The pigeon
which took the first prize of all Belgium
in 1871 belonged to small basket-maker
at Huy, near Liege. / remember hold
ing the bird in my hand-a small, com
pact, black bird, as hard as stone to
the touch-I forget whether in his third
or fourth year. The bird was flown i'll
1871 at OAK, in the Pyrenees, at five
o'clock in the morning, and arrived at
Huy the same evening at six o'clock.
Taking the distance as 600 miles crow
flight, and dividing by the number Of
hours, thirteen, this gives us the rate OF
forty-six miles an hour for thirteen
hours.

Something About MOxa.

The dreadful experience through
which Clara Morris has gone in Paris in
the treatment of lesion of the spinal
cord excites interest in the terrible
"moxa," as the treatment with white
hot iron is called. 1t is a japanese in
vention, and has been used in Japan as
a uounter-irritant for many centuries.
The word itself means "burning glass, &"
and is thus used because the japanese
custom is to place the finer woody parts
of the young leaves of NORWOOD on
the skin, in the form of small cones, and
set them on fire by means of burning
glass. They burn slowly and leave a
scar or blister, but the operation is not
very painful; it cannot for moment be
compared with the agony occasioned 10y
the scoring of the quivering flesh with
iron heated to Wilderness, which is what
we call moxa. It's use in Japan, where
it is looked upon as a cure for great
number of diseases, such as pleurisy,
asthma, rheumatism, and even indiges-
ton, is almost universal, nearly every
person, especially among the lower
classes, being SCARED with moxa spots

4" Gone AlOft."

One Of the old wooden walls of En-
gland, tbree-decker line-of-battle ship,
one of those of which Dibdin sung, and
fine old tars with pig-tails were wont to
spin their yarns around the foc'sle, has
yielded up the ghost at Chatham dock
yard. She was the Ajax seventy-four,
reduced in the declining years of her life
to sixty guns. Not the Ajax which fol-
lowed in the wake of the Agamemnon
when Lord Nelson bore down one Octo-
Der morning on he French fleet off
Trafalgar f; but the second Ajax, born
when the old and original veteran foun-
dered off the Island of Tenedos two
years after her noble fight. The de-
ceased Ajax was launched in 1909, and,
like many of the Lords of the Admiralty,
had reached a good and crazy old age.
Although good ship and true, she
bore but few if any honorable scars.
She was mp the Baltic with Napier dur
ing the Russian war, nd stuck III one of
the narrow creeks or channels up the
Gulf of Bothnia. An attempt was made
to fit her NO with engines and modern
Improvements, but the old salt did not APP
prove of newfangled ways. She was a
sailor of the old school.

Sweet Is the voice that calls

The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittering insects gleam

Who're hvsy spiders spin their ilmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows fall

And peary vapors lie
Along the Eastern sky
Where the broad harvest-moon is redly burning.

Flood and O'Brien.

George Alfred Townsend contributes
another interesting chapter to the his
tory of mining speculations in Califor-
mia, describing the Bank of Nevada,
which is to rise on the ruins of the Bank
of California and is to be the property
of Flood and O'Brien and Fair and
Mackay. Flood and O'Brien were few
years ago a sort of Delmonico to the OPP
orators on California street, keeping the
liquor and lunch place there. They
caught the air and secrets of the patrons
of their house, and tried mining specu-
lative stocks little. As they increased
they got an engineer to look about the
Comstock lode for them and picked up
q mine supposed to be worn out called
the "Hale and Norcross. This they
soon developed into new source of ac-
tual wealth. They paid for it seventy
cents per share when the whole number
of shares afoat was only 5000. As they
brought out the bullion they watered
the stock, and it went up hundreds per
cent. They then built crushing mills
and began to feel under their shaft to
the west mine. There they discovered
real bonanza, for in those mining ven
lures there is q reality as well as a ro-
nance, and while the proprietors OF the
mine were asleep or ignorant, these min
ers picked up their stock and began to
take 81, 5000 month OF bullion out
of this new acquisition. The stock, OF
course, was watered and went skyward.
Only four men owned all this wealth.
Thus, mining bullion at the rate of s2O,-
900, 900 per annum, these parvenues be-
came power beside the Bank OF Cali

Concerning Fish and Fish Culture.

Shad in the Hudson river had become
nearly extinct until tue Fish Commits
sioners OF New York caused it to be
stocked with 100, 10000 per year for
several years; the consequence is that
they have not been so plentiful and
cheap for forty years as now. The ras-
cally pothouse meters, however, take
every opportunity to stretch their nets
surreptitiously across the third of the
stream reserved to let them come up the
river to spawn. Seth Green, that vet
eran pisciculturist, is now stocking the
river with sturgeon in immense num-
bers, that i'll few years will go through
their nets as if they were a piece of
gauze. The Hudson river sturgeon
grow to an immense size, attaining FREE
quently to the length of ten or twelve
feet, and weighing from four to five
hundred pounds. Another gratifying
practical result of fish planting is that
in the Potomac, where black bass were
entirely unknown until they were plant
ed, they are now caught in strings of
from thirty to sixty, weighing from two
to four and n half pounds, in days
fishing. This breeding OF fish and
stocking all the inland lakes and rivers
is simply question of food for the peo-
pie as much as raising grain, beef, pork,
etc. The United States make an annual
appropriation of $4,000 to procure fish
from foreign waters which are unknown
to us, and to change the breed of such
as we have, which is as much required
as to change the breed of everything,
from the human race to potatoes. AL
most all Of the States have now efficient
fish laws, and very many make liberal
appropriations to stock all the public
lakes within their borders, under the
supervision Of their Boards of Fish
Commissioners, as well as the rivers.
