Message Bearing Swallows.

John Desbouvrie, who resides at Roubaix in France, has exhibited there fifteen swallows that he has trained after the manner of carrier pigeons The swallows were set free, each one marked with colored ribbon, and they dispersed in all directions. In fH teen minutes later the first one returned, and perched on one of Desbouv1ie's fingers; one after another the others came back in quick succession. Des- bouvrie is of the opinion that swallows are far superior to pigeons for the car. rier service in time of war. Their flight is higher and swifter, and they are more reliable, smarter and more easily fed.
 They need not rest when flying long distances in order to partake of food, because they can do so on the wing. They are also trained with greater ia cility than pigeons. Desbouvrie has also succeeded in retaining number of swallows during the winter in per feet liberty, and their migratory in clinations did not carry them south. ward, SO that even this obstacle would not interfere with the systematic train ng of swallows for the carrier service. --1oeonto 0aa1e.
