Speed Of Carrier Pigeons.

The ordinary speed made BY homing
pigeons does not exceed thirty miles an
hour, said weIl-known Pennsylvania
railroad official. Instances arc Of rec
ord, however, of their doubling aud
even tripling that rate of speed. Pig
cons were used as bearers of dispatches
as long ago as the siege Of Jerusalem,
and were pressed into the service during
the siege Of Paris by the German army.
The art Of training them is supposed to
be carried to the greatest perfection ia
Turkey Young birds are taken half
mile away and then set loose. The dis
lance is increased from day to day until
they are able to cover one thousand miles
or return from the most remote parts Of
the kingdom
THE Belgians take their birds to the
south of France, to Marseilles or Bay
onne, and they make the distance from
those points to Antwerp, Brussels or
Client, five hundred miles, ID ten hours.
In this country high rates OF speed have
been attained, but cannot give you the
exact time made. We used to send our
birds out on the Pennsylvania railroad
to Pitttburg, aud as far west as Column
bus. They returned, but the results were
not satisfactory. The mountains which
have to be crossed are infested with
hawks, and their tops are sometimes ne
veloped il clouds Of mist, which confuse
the birds and send them out Of their
way.
THE best results are now being OBJ
tanned by taking the birds South. They
follow the coast right up, with noun
tains on one hand aud the ocean on the
other As guides, and they make very good
time. Flights are often made from Char
lotte, N. c., to New York. distance Of
$40 miles, aud I have heard Of several
from points in South Carolina, 80 miles
from New York, the object being to get

Hlstorr u Pens ana Beans.

Beans and peas. Or pulse of various
kinds, from the facility with which they
are produced in almost every country OF
the globe, and the highly nutritive prop
critics which they usually possess. have
been favorite food for man and animals
among oil nations and in every age Of
the world. Thus we find that the Athe
mans employed sodden beans in their
feasts dedicated to Apollo, and the Ro-
mans presented them as an obiation in
their solemn sacrifice called uTalaria. Z

meal cakes to certain gods and goddeSses

The common garden bean came orig

ID Egypt and Barbary in the earliest ages
of which we have any records. :. Ii was
brought into Spain aud Portugal in the
early part of the eighth century, whence
some Of the best varieties were introduced

The first beans introduced from Eu-
rope into the British North American
colonies were by Capt. Gosnold. in 1902,
who planted them on the Elizabeth
Islands, near the coast Of Massachusetts,
where they flOurished we'll. They were
also cultivated in Newfoundland as early
as the year 1922; in New Netherlands,
in 1914; and in Virginia, prior to 1913.
French, Indian, or kidney beans were
extensively cultivated by the Indians OF
New York and New England long before
their settlement by the whites; and
both beans and peas (calarances), OF
various hues, were cultivated by the ma
tives Of Virginia prior to the landing Of
Capt. Smith. Among these was embraced
tho celebrated COW pea (DhaseOlus), at

South for feeding stock, as we'll as for
the purpose of making into fodder. and

The common pea is supposed to have

A WONDERFUL SCARF PIN.-Simon Wolf,
a former c,nsul General to Egypt, when he
was here last week showed u very beautiful
scarf-pin which was given to him by one of
the highest officials of Egypt, The pin is
made of the body of scarabee This, in
plain words, is the body of petrifed
Egyptian beetle. 1t is over 1000 years old.
1t has a cutting upon the back representing
one of the high priests standing before the
king. The color of this scarabee is faint
greenish blue. The marks of the beetle are
perfect in this petrifaction. The beautiful
object was found in the tomb of one of the
Pharaohs 1t is one of the most perfect
specimens of these very rare and much
coveted relics. Mr.. Wolf says that he was
offered $1,000 for it by the British Museum.
A number of people have tried to tempt Mr..
Wolf to part with this keepsake, but he re-
fuses to give it up for friendship or money.
The grateful Egyptian officer who gave it to
him had been befriended by Mr.. Wolf to
this extent. The Khedive was very friend
ly to MIR. Wolf, and it was through the in
fiuence of the latter that the Khedive gave
the ribbon of the Legion of Honor to the
ambitious Egyptian official. He in his burst
of gratitude for this favor pressed this royal
present upon Mr.. Wolf. One evening when
Mr.. Wolf was exhibiting this jewel beetle
identical in size, shape and marking lighted
upon the dark coat-sleeve Of gentleman
who moment before had been looking at
Mr.. VOLTS prize This Saratoga beetle was
q perfect specimen of the Egyptian scarabee
save that the American beetle was light yell
low in color. 1t is possible that the process
of petrifaction, however, would have chang
ed this color.-Saratoga Letter.
