ARCTIC HOMING PIGEONS.
AndFee Not the First Person to Take
Them to the Far North.

AndFee Not the First Person to Take
Them to the Far North.
Writer'S for the contemporary press
who have recently treated of Andree's
essay to reach the north pole in balloon
appear to have forgotten-if, indeed,
they ever knew-that carrier pigeons
have previously been taken to the arctic
regions by other explorers, and that in
one instance it is believed bird made
it's way south to it's old home in Scot
land.
When Sir John Ross set out in the
Felix, in search of Sir John Franklin's
expedition, in 1850, he took with him
four homing pigeons belonging to a
lady in Ayrshire, intending to iberate
two of them when the state of the ice
rendered it necessary to lay up his
vessel for the winter, and the other two
when he discovered the missing explor-
er, if he should be so fortunate.
A pigeon made it's appearance at the
dovecote in Ayrshire on October 81,
which the lady recognized by marks
and circumstances that left no doub:
in her mind of it's being one of
the younger pair presented by her
let, but there were indications, in
the loss of feathers on the breast,
of one having been torn from un-
der the wing. Though it is known
that the speed of pigeons is equal to
100 miles an hour, The distance from
Melville island to Ayrshire, being in q
direct line about 2,400 miles. is so great
that evidence of the bird having been
sent off as early as October 10 was re-
quired before it could be believed that
no mistake was made in the Identified
ton of the individual which came to the
cote.
It waa afterwards ascertained that Sir
John Ross dispatched the youngest pair
October and z, 1850, in basket sus-
pended from a balloon, during a west
northwest gale. BY contrivance of a
slow match the birds were to be liber-
ated at the end of "a hours. The reader
can form his own opinion as to the iden-
tity of the pigeon in question; but, ut
the time, it was fully believed that the
bird was one of the two sent of from
the expedition in Melville bay.
The expedition fitted out by Lady
Franklin in 1851, which sailed in the
| Prince Albert, under command Of Will
liam Kennedy, took number of hom-
ing pigeons. 1t reached Upernavik on
June 10, and, after taking on board
some Eskimo dogs, set out to explore
the shores of Prince Regents inlet. The
much-dreaded middle ice" was reached
soon after leaving. and four days were
spent in passing through it to the
western side of the bay, during which
time the men were constantly employed
in sailing, boring, pushing, warping,
not infrequently exposed to the perilous
"nips" which are sometimes productive
of dire consequences. At this point in
the voyage it was deemed advisable tc
test the powers of the pigeons, but the
poor birds refused to take the lonp
fight to England, and resolutely per
sisted in returning to the ship again
and again after q short survey of the
icy region in which they were let loose

It was a really fine affair. Chedder-

The manufacturers of Castoria have been

TO COIN MORE GOLD.

Secretary Gage sent the other da' to
the house of representatives an elnbo-
rate statement in regard to the gold
bullion now in the treasury and the
need of its conversion for prompt use.
The statement was accompanied by a
recommendation for the appropriation
of $250,000 to be applied to the pay
ment of wages of workmen and other
contingent expenses at the minis in
connection with the coinage of gold
and subsidiary silver during the next
fiscal year. To enable the minis t.
convert large part Of the gold bullion
now on hand and to coin the current
domestic deposits that are to be made
the secretary deems the appropriation
necessary.

plains of Buenos Ayres, are marvel
ously dexterous with both hands ans
feet. Many of them have acquired
through long practice such skill in US
ing their toes as IL they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time
ago a Frenchman who was fishing in
one Of the rivers Of Buenos Ayres was
warned against the light-fingered ma
tives. He forthwith kept a vigilant
watch on his companions, but never
theless one day when his attention was
closely riveted on his float a willy
Gaucho drew near and, delicately in
serting his foot, extracted the French
mans hooks and other valuables from

CURRENCY BILL TO GO OVER.


The decision of the sincere friends or
currency reform in the national house
to postpone consideration of the COM
prehensive bill lately reported by Con-
gresham McCleary is by no means to
be regarded as a bad omen. Quite the
contrary. The action seems to have
been deliberately taken under a we'll
grounded belief that the conditions in
the next congress will be so suspicious
as to secure an unobstructed passage
for the measure. If Mr.. Hanna, the
chairman of the indianapolis executive
committee, is satisfied that the wisest
course has been taken in regard to the
bill there is clearly nothing to cause
the reform sentiment any regret or
disappointment.
