Rapidly Increasing in Number In the
Cities.
By the federal census OF 1890 there
were only 1,SS7 natives of Greece in the
United States. There were fewer
Greeks than men of any other nation
atty of which computation was made,
fewer even than Turks or Sandwich
ISLANDERS. Of the Greeks returned by
the federal census. Alb were in New
York 259 in California, 254 in Illinois,
145 in Texas - insignificant figures
when compared with the fact that in
California alone there were by the same
census $3.50 natives of Portugal. and
there were in one state, Iowa. 90 ma
tiyes of the little Duchy of LuAcm-
burg. Under these circumstances the
proposed enlistment of 25O Greeks in
Chicago to aid their compatriotS on the
Mediterranean in the warfare in Crete
Chicago which had by the last census
only 254 Greek residents. men. women
and childrenJmight appear to be, to
say the least, a sOmpWha surprising
evidence of fervent patriotism, to be eX-
planned, perhaps, by the tendency to
verbal eNaggeIation found by some dis
interested and unsympathetic tourist
to be general in the countries of the
orient. In Pittsburgh, too. where six
and a half years ago there were only Il
Greeks of both sexes and of all ages,
there were $50 Greek volunteers for
Crete.
Thu explanation of this is as follows:
There are now not $500 Greeks in the
United States, but $4,000. They have
increased in numbers by immigration
1000 per cent. in less than seven wears,
and there are now 1880 in New York
city alone, $500 in Chicago, 900 in Bos-
ton, and so on. Greece is territorially
just two-thirds the size of Scotland
The population of the country is about
the same as the present population of
the city of New York, 2,OOU,OO0. The
Greeks are farmers, fishermen and
fruit-raisers, and material prosperity

themselves concerning the length of
time during which the pigeon can rec
ollect the place of his home and the
distance from which he is able TO find
| his way back TO il. Some birds have
found their way home after five years
absence; and ii is generally understood
that good birds can be depended upon
for six months. Pigeons have returned
from Vienna and from Rome to Brus-
sells, and others, sold 10 be carried
away to America, have made their way
back to their original owner in Bel
GUM.
when pigeons were to be sent back
and forth, it has been usual TO keep
two sets, with their respective homes
at either end of the course; and when
they have reached their home, to carry
them back to the places from which
they were dispatched. An ingenious
process has been devised to overcome
this difficulty and to cause the birds to
fly with equal certainty in both direc-
tiCns. Pigeons, for example, whose
house is in Paris are confined for sew
eral days at st. Denis and fed there
at stated hour every day with some
favorite food which is not given them
at their real home. They become, in
the course of time familiar with their
new home and its choice dishes. When
set at liberty, they start off for Paris
at once, without forgetting the good
things they enjoyed at st. Denis. When
they are to be sent back, they are made
60 fast little while, and are then let
loose at about feeding time at st.
Denis. They go thither and, when
thew have their own WaV time thniI,
going so as to be there at the exact
moment of feeding. Birds have thus
been taught to fly back and forth reg
ularly between places 80 miles apart.
when a carrier pigeon is set at lib
erty at a distance from it's home, it
rises in the air, describing a spiral
higher and still higher, then takes a
start. In about quarter of an hour it
will be seen again directly above the
point at which it was freed 1t starts
thence anew, and makes the right di-
rection without hesitation. Compare
this quickness of decision with the
experienced in a
strange region by an intelligent man
who has read up about the country and
is fortified with all the knowledge con-
corning it that science can give him."
Regarding the course taken by car
Tiers, Mr.. Marsden, the Commissioner
of Agriculture, states that birds, after
describing spiral and rising to great
height, often go as far as 80 miles in the
wrong direction and then come back
to the point where they were freed and
start again in another direction. If
this proves to be the right one their
home flight is rapid.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-02-12

To illustrate this Mr.. Marsden fur
nishes the above. Home is represent
ed by the dot in the left-hand circle.
The bird is freed at the point on the
outer edge of the right-hand circle
Before reaching home, which is 240
miles away, it will try each of the
four points of the compass until it gets
the right direction. Birds which make
the quickest trips are those which by
intuition or luck strike the home
course first.
