The Speed of Carrier Pigeons.

"The ordinary speed of homing
pigeons does not exceed thirty miles
an hour" said well known Pennsyl-
vania railroad official yesterday. ''ln-
stances are on record, however, of
their doubling and even tripling that
rate of speed. Pigeons were used 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
in Turkey. Young birds are taken
half mile away and then set loose.
The distance 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.
1.-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, Brus-
sells, or Ghent, five hundred miles in
ten hours. In this country high rates
of speed have been attained, but i can
not give you the exact time made. We
used to send our pigeons out on the
Pennsylvania railroad to Pittsburgh
and as far west as Columbus. They
returned, but the results were not sat
isfactory. The mountains which have
to be crossed are infested with hawks
and their tops are sometimes envelop-
ed in clouds of mist, which confuse
the birds and send them out Of their
way.
1.-The best results are now being OBJ
tanned by taking the birds south.
They follow the coast right up, with
mountains on one hand and the ocean
on the other as guides, and they make
very good time. Flights are often
made from Charlotte, n. c., to New
York, distance of $40 miles, and L
have heard of several from points in
South Carolina, $50 miles from New
York, the object being to get them to
make 1000 miles. y Hhiladelphta

Ancient and Modern Shipbullding.

There seems to be a wide difference
of opinion concerning the cost of the
steamship Great Eastern, and her size
as compared with Noah's ark. The
cost of building and launching the
Great Eastern was $500, 900, and this
broke the original company. A new
company was formed which spent
$780, 900 in fitting and furnishing her.
Then this company failed and new
one was organized with a capital of
$500,UC0. AT the close of 1880 this
company sunk $86.7l5 upon the YES
sci, thus making her total cost $4.703,-
675. Nothing ever built can stand
comparison with the Great Eastern ex-
cepting Noah's Ark, and even this
vessel could not match her. The
length of the ark was 800 cubits, her
breadth fifty cubts, and her height
thirty cubits. The cubic of the
scriptures, according to Bishop Wilk-
ins, was 2l 65-l00 inches, and COM
puted into English measurement the
the ark was 547 feet long, ninety-one
feet beam, fifty-four and -tenths
feet depth, and 2l,762 tons. The
Great Eastern is $50 feet long, eighty
three feet beam, tifty-six feet depth,
and 28,093 tons measurement SO
Noah's ark is quite overshadowed by
the Great Eastern. .-NeaO York Tribune.

tween the upper and lower jaws. lt
is remarkable fact that the whale
cub, when first formed, has no baleen,
and, indeed, it does not need it, milk
being its food, as it Is that of all young
mammals. After while milk"
teeth appear, just as in man. In due
time they are absorbed, but instead of
being replaced by permanent teeth,
the plates of baleen are substituted for
teeth. There is one point in the nour-
ishment of the young which ought not
to be left wholly unnoticed. The baby
whale must obtain it's food by suction,
as in all mammals. Considering, how
ever, the pace of the whale through
the water, the usual process would be
not only inconvenient, but impossible.
So the mother possesses the power of
violently forcing out the milk, thus in
jecting iDstantaneously the entire
meal into the stomach of the young.

be employed at from S20 TO S25 per
month. In all cases the Chinese house
servants receive higher wages than do
the white women. Before the introduce
ton OF Chinese house-servants the pay
of the average servant-girl was $50
per month, and with that all the privi-
or exercise. Coachmen would not
look at horsec for less than 500 per
month and two days and four night per
week off duty. The few whites who
were here had complete mo nopoly
of the labor market. and they bulled
it so high that they broke it all to
pieces. The cost of the journey across
the plains has always been SO great
that but a limited number of the peo-
pie who would take the place of SER.
wants could get there, so that all de-
velopment of the state was at
standstll The Chinese were the
relief from this condition. And to-
day the state would be practically
bankrupt if the 1000 Chinese labor
ers were withdrawn, and their places
could not be filled by laborers from
any other section. And yet, while the
Chinese are here, and pouring in at
the rate of thousand per week, a
white laborer would be foolish to come
here with the hope of earning living.
This is paradise for shrewd me1
with money. but hell for the man or
woman who expects employment as
servant or laborer. The provisions of
the restriction act, il enforced, would
gradually rid the state of the Mongol-
ians, and at the same time give en-
ployers opportunity to ill their places
with homogeneous race, who would
add to the permanent population of
the state. But the law is utterly dis
regarded by the officials charged with
its execution, and the ready employ
ment at high wages of the newcomers
shows the increasing demand for labor
in the state. Chinese labor unions are
unknown, consequently there are no
strikes among them. In this they diff
fer from the whites. AS soon as a
white laborer reaches here he joins
some kind of society; the society be-
longs to some ward politician who
sells its vote; the political aspirant as
sures the worker that he is fearfully
outraged man; and he comes to be-
lieve it and to look upon his employer
as his most wicked and dangerous en-
emy. His time is spent at the saloon
and his term with his employer is very
short. Three or four experiences of
this kind wear out the employer and
he seeks refuge in the Chinaman if he
can do his work.
Editorial Inconsistency is very plain
ly illustrated here by the fact that,
though every paper in the city is op-
posing Chinese immigration, yet ev-
cry one of them employs Chinese
servants in their homes. suppose
this inconsistency is peculiarly OF
genius and is EOt to be charged
against their work for principle.

The Eskimo Goes 70 Summer Resort.

So short are the Arctic seasons of
spring and fall that some polar travel
ers deny their existence, the summer
following the winter with a sudden
ness that sweeps the wintry SHOWS
from the ground and starts the hardy
Alpine plants into blossom as if an
earthquake or grand convulsion of ma
ture had thrown the Arctic regions
under the equator as abruptly as those
terrestrial forces usually work; and
again the summer is merged into the
winter as quickly as a person would
change, climbing to the top of Mex
lean mountain, from tropical luxuri-
ance to snow, ice and glaciers.
AS soon as the warm weather is
ushered in, and the round domed
snow-houses commence showing signs
of decay under the advancing heat,
the top of one or two having, probably,
tumbled in on the inmates, the Eskimo
lord of creation closely watches the
ridges and hilltops, especially on the
southern slope, and as soon as they
peep through the winters covering of
snow, and a spot is found large enough
to pitch his skin tent and give him O.
dry door, that very day he will aban-
don his tumbled-in snow-house, and
take up his abode for the summer in
the tent. Lieut.. SchWatka, IN the IN

MONEY TO LOAN on chattel security
lsl by ]. S. Mackey, Fourth and Jackson. After
years of experience and careful study of the
business of loaning money on personal property
have at last perfected a system whereby the
publicity usual in such cases is done away with
and am now in a position to meet the demands
of all who become temporarily embarrassed and
desire to raise money without delay and in quiet
business manner. Housekeepers, professional
gentlemen, farmers. mechanics and others can
obtain advances of from $40 to $4,000 on secured
notes, on household furniture, pianos, machinery
horses, wagons, warehouse receipts, etc. without
removing same from owners residence or place
of business, and on watches, diamonds and Jew
elry. One of the advantages I offer is that my
loans are all made in such form that the amount
borrowed can be paid back if desired, in daily
weekly or monthly installments, each payment
reducing the interest pro rata, and all loans re-
newed at the original rates upon the amount due
when extended. I have no brokers in connection
with my Office. personally superintend all my
loans and consequently save all lawyers fees
giving the benefit of the same to our patrons.
