constitution Of the armies has been much
debated, but one thing stands quite
clearly These bands of industrials be-
haved themselves with extraordinary
moderation. If some Of them occasion

Of the rolling stock for time They

Record flying is conducted under very
strict rules, and records to be considered
authentic must be kept by the Ameri-
can Federation of Homing Clubs or the
League of American Homing Clubs.
Birds to compete must have silver leg
bands, put on when small and impossi-
bic of removal without being fled apart,
marked with owners initials and indi-
vidual number. The central body must
be notified in advance of the proposed
fight, and when the birds are released
a telegram must be sent from the place
of release. Upon the arrival of the bird
a messenger must at once be dispatched
to the nearest telegraph Office with a
dispatch notifying the central body Of
the fact. This messenger must not ride
upon a horse, a street car, bicycle or
wagon, but must go on foot, no matter
what the distance. He may run, how
ever, and a time allowance is made for
the ground he has to cover.
Many thousands of dollars a year are
expended in pigeon fancying, and many
solid business men have adopted it as a
recreation. The instinct Of the holning
bird is really remarkable, but it is moth
ing more nor less than love of home,
and it is held by fanciers to be ridicu-
lous to think of raising birds to fly to
warships from the land, though it is
quite feasible to send them from the
ships to their homes on the shore if the
distance be not too great.
A first class pair of homers sometimes
brings a big price, @75 and 500 not be-
ing very exceptional, and a man who
understands pigeon raising can make q
pretty good thing breeding them.

Destined to Reign Forty Years
The seventeenth anniversary of the
accession Of the sultan or Turkey to

Hamid IS said to be a man of great
muscular strength, and it is asserted
that, although small and Slight Of
build, he is powerful enough to over
come the strongest Of his janissaries
in a trial of personal strength He
owes this to his regularity Of life, the
observance of the laws Of health and
his passion for gymnastics He IS
devoted to carpentry, and his
palace is furnished with a work
shop in which there are
many artisans, whose work is directed
by the sultan himself considera-
bic proportion of the furniture of the
rovaI residence has been made from
his designs, and in many cases exc
cuted bv himself Abdul Hamid has
a firm conviction that he will reign
for forty years. and this belief has
banished all fear of disease and dan
ger from his mind He, however,
breads the cholera. because dervish
once prophesied that he would die OF
cholera morbus- This has been a
source of great benefit to his 81 bjects,
as every effort is made to prevent the
spread Of cholera owing to the sui
tans desire to escape being attacked

The language of the chimpanzees
meets their requirements and expresses
all that they need to express in their
conditions Of life. I do not believe that
the speech of any species Of ape or mon
key is capable Of much detail but there
is a difference in the capacity of differ
ent types. While there is a deluge of
talk about animals being capable of ex-
pressing emotion or desire and nothing
more, yet these practically embrace the
whole scope Of human speech, and the
respect in which tyre of speech differ
is in the capacity to express detail i
am convinced that the language of apes
does this more fully than that Of other
animals. it not only suggests the de-
sire, but III a measure qualities it, The
call of the chimpanzee not only sug-
gests 10 one that hears it the fact that
chimpanzee has made the sound, but it
also conveys the idea Of Come here,
''Go away or Beware p The sound
for food is not merely a remote hint of
something desired, but it specifies tho
thing desired, if not indeed the kind of
thing desired-that is, I believe they
have some sounds which may even mean
fruit, - flesh, - etc.
The range Of sounds made by domes-
tic animals is very small as compared
with those made by apes and monkey
There is little doubt III my mind that
they have as many as 30 or 40 words.
and these may be varied to a very great
extent; it is difficult as yet to say how
far. 1t is possible that many Of their
sounds have never heard as yet, but
have already distinguished more sounds
among them than know Of ut the COM
mand Of any other animal, notwlth-
standing my acquaintance with them is
more limited Ihad deduced these opin-
ions from my studies before going to
Africa, and my visit there confirmed
many of my former ideas IN this respect
