work are yet fresh, and are rather better
if any difference than when they COM
menced. Their music throughout has
been excellent and well chosen for re-
vival services, and highly enjoyed by
the large audiences. Many timns the
beautiful melody and hne sentiment Of
their songs would reach the hearts of
many in the audience when excellent
sermons would not. And here, - ON

The census of carricr-pigeons now
being taken is an annual proceeding
which the War Office instituted some
little time ngo "a one of the means for
excluding from France carrier-pigeOns
from Germany and Belgium. Not
long ago it was discovered that im-
mense numbers of pigeons were being
Systematically taught to find their
way from Paris. a, also from different
points between The capital and the
frontier. back TO their homes either in
Germany or Belgium. The year
before last 5000. 900 foreign pigeons
were brought into this country 10 be
started homcward. Some of these, no
doubt belonged to friendly pigeon
societies in Belgium. A. however.
there was no possibility of making a
distinction between German and Bel
gian birds. the French Government
prohibited the loosing on French soil
Of any that came from either country.
When the Germans began this sort of
thing they had the GOODNESS to dis
patch hampers Of pigeons to diff
ferent French station-master along
the line of country over which the
pigeon-training operations were being
carried OH. at the same time request
ing,these officials to be kind enough
to open the hampers and set the
pigeons free. This was soon put a
stop to. Then the device was en-
ployed of first sending the pigeons to
Belgium. and there getting them 70
directed into France. where by this
means they arrived as innocent
pigeons from the neutral kingdom
But the trick was soon found on.
1t may Be wondered what can be the
object OF teaching German pigeons to
find their way over French territory
and of having secret pigeon-houses in
France. In the case of French town
or district being the object Of hostile
operations it is. no doubt. impossible
to believe that German spies could
carry on pigeon communications with
their government without speedy
detection. Tho idea. however. seems
to Be that during the disturbed
