Pigeons Which Fly Backward.

Captain Malogoll, the head of the Ital'
ian military carrier pigeon depots, has,
after immense and unwearying trouble,
succeeded in getting his pigeons to fly
backward and forward between Rome and
Civita vecchia, seventy-two kilomcters,
says the Cornhill Magazine. This p%racti-
cal success has shattered the theories of
various ornithologists, such as Russ, who
have affirmed that pigeons cannot be
made to ny in two directions. The chief
points to be observed in the rearing of
pigeons are: Roomy, warm houses, fac
ing toward the sun, s%crupulous cleanli-
ness. light food and abundance OF clean
fresh water. The smaller the bird and
the q%uieter its color the better char ce it
stands of safety from human and other
enemies. Among the latter the falcon is
the most dangerous. The military pigeon
post is best organized in Germany, Italy
and France. In the last French budget
a sum of 6S, 900 francs was devoted to
that branch of the service, aud there are
at present in France thirty-two sub
depots besides the chief pigeon station.
In Italy there are twelve sub-depots and
five in the Italian possessions in Africa.

Something About Rug Designs.

al was very much amused" said a
gentleman, recently, who for many
years had lived in Constantinoplc, sat
some of the efforts made in this country
to reproduce Turkish designs in rugs
and fabrics. Anything that was odd
shaped was called Turkish. As long as
a rug has a lot of yellow, blue and red
in it and is made up Of a MOSAIC OF n
descript little details, the manufacturer
seems to feel that he has produced an
Oriental design. The truth Is, though,
an Oriental rug, to the native, tells a
story as clearly and as expressive as lit
erature. The details of the design are
not meaningless marks or figures !; they
are symbols. and suggest historical
events, "reminiscences and romance. l
could probably explain the matter more
lucidly by this analogy Presuming
that you had been to Europe and col
lected bric-a-brac aud curios-a few
vases from the sevres works, an old
sword from Damascus, some pottery
from Rome, and strange relics from
Pompeii. You have come back and
convcntionalized these shapes aud intro
duced them in a fat way into some
fabric. To you these various forms
bring up a wealth of Renaissance. They
tell of a tour of Europe, and the incl
dents of the trip are revived at every
glance. So, to the Oriental mind, every
detail of the rug Of his district arouses
the same fund of reminiscence. = Up.

Thunder Phenomena.

Many theories have been offered 10 ex-
PLANTATION Of the phenomena of thunder.
Here is Professor Hern's description:
The sound which is known as thunder Is
due simply to the fact that the air trav-
ersed by an electric spark, that is, a
fash of lightning, is suddenly raised to o
very high temperature, and has it,
volume, moreover, considerably IN.
creased. The column OF gas thus sud,
IDENTIFY heated and exhausted is sometimes
several miles long, and as the duration
OF the flash is moi over the millionth OF q
second, it follows that the noise bursts
forth at once from the whole column,
though for an observer at any one place,
it commences where the lightning fash
is at the least distance. In precise terms,
the beginning of the thunder clap gives
the minimum distance of the lightning,
and the duration of the rolling of the
thunder the length of the column OF
heated air. Professor Hern also remarks
that when a fash Of lightning strikes the
ground, it is not necessarily from the
place struck that the first noise Is heard.
Again he points ont that a bullet whistles
In traversing the air, SO that we can, to q
certain extent, follow its fight. The
same thing also happens with a falling
metcorite just before striking the earth.
The noise actually heard has been CON-
pared to the sound produced when one
tears linen; it is due, really, to the fact
that the air rapidly pushed on n side
OF the projectile in front, whether bullet
or meteoritc, quickly rushes back to fil!
the gap left in the rear.-Bostoa Tran

The Great Salt Desort OF Persia.

The recent explorations Of Captains
Burton and Vaughn will enable the In
dian intelligence department to complete
the elaborate survey of Persia, which has
been advancing slowly AMI secretly, but
surely, during the last twenty years.
The chief purpose OF their journey was
to prospect the Kavir or great salt des-
ert, which hitherto has figured in all
maps as u blank space. The precise de.
tails of their discoveries belong, Of
course, primarily to the Indian intelli-
gence department, but I hear, writes
Edmund Yates, they are extremely i'm.
portant from a strategic as well rs from
u purely geographical point of view.
Taking Tabbas as a centre, the off,
GERS in question made circuits along the
east, northeast, and northern shores Of
the Kavir, and so succeeds in correctly
defining its limits. Captain Vaughn re-
mains behind to skirt the western
boundaries OF the Kavir and reach India
by the way Of the Persian Gulf. Both
the explorers are convinced that the
Kavir was at no distant date an inland
sea, and they came on the remains Of
several buried cities belonging to a peri
cd anterior to the Moslem conquest
They also lighted unexpectedly on a
broad tract of fertile country, abound
ing il date and orange groves, and pos

The Silk Threads in Bank Notes.

The paper upon which bank notes are
printed is called obstructive paper"
because used exclusively by the Govern
ment for the printing OF bonds and notes.
The mills where it is manufactured are
at Glen Falls, Westchester County, Penn,
An agent of the Treasury Department
receives the paper direct from the hands
of the manufacturer, and every precau-
tion is taken to keep any of it from being
lost.
When this distinctive paper is being
made, scraps of red silk threads are
mixed with the pulp in a big tank. The
finished material is conducted to a wire
cloth without passing through any screen
which might retain the silken threads.
Next, an arrangement above the wire
cloth scatters a shower of blue silk
threads, which fall upon the paper as it
is being formed. The side upon which
the blue silk is deposited is used for the
backs of notes, each thread being so
deeply embedded as to remain perma-
nently fixed. The smooth side of the
paper, that in which the red threads
alone are seen, Is used for the front of
the note. Each of these sheets is req.
istered as SOC as inishea.-S, Louis
