Bees Faster Than Pigeons.

1t is not generally known that bees are
swifter in flight that pgeons-that is, for
short distances. Some years ago pigeon
fancier in Hamme, Westphaiia. laid wager
that dozen bees liberated three miles from
their hive would reach home in less time
than q dozen pigeons. The competitors
were given wing at Rybern, "a village nearly
a league from Hamme, and the first bee
reached the hive quarter of minute in
advance of the first pigeon. Three other
bees reached the goal before the second
pigeon. The bees were also slightly handi-
capped. having been rolled in flour before
starting for purpose of identification.-
