by their friends that dueling among
ladies was not good form. 30 they de-
cided to settle the matter with the dice,
though the method seemed trivial. One
Of the contestants had thrown four
skies and her countenance plainly In
dicated that she expected 10 win. The
other had thrown once. with pair Of
fives, when the aforesaid young man
appeared unannounced upon the scene.
The pair of fves looked SO small In

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR.


Ths Birds May he Used Board Pstroa
Boats Messengers.
The experiments which the French
government is now making with car
rier pigeons are not novel. though from
the scientific way in which they are be-
ing conducted it Is believed that new
data as to the efficiency Of these swift
birds as messengers in time Of war
may be gathered. Similar experiments
have been made in this country recent
ly. notably those under the manage
ment of Howard Carter OF the naval
homing pigeon service of New York.
IL is calculated that the pigeons fly at
race varying from 30 to 90 miles an
hour. This means that a message
from a hip 200 miles at sea might be
sent to the home loft in from four to
FIVE hours. For instance, IL the pi-
geons were released from a scouting
vessel 10 give warning of the approach
of an enemy's vessel or feet, they could
beat the average patrol boat to shore
by 10 to IL hours over a 200-mile
course Such advance warning would
be Of great value in an emergency. It
Is proposed, In case OF war, 10 place
crates Of these pigeons on board the
fastest patrol boats which may be as
signed to outside duty.
Mr.. Carter's method of training pi-
geons differs materially from that of
few years ago. He flies his birds
singiy or in pairs at distances ranging
from 10 TO 400 miles from the home
loft. When they are released in pairs
he sends slow bird with swift one.
He found that the old style of taking
a basket full of birds and releasing
them at varying distances in lots Of
10 20 Is didn't fit the pigeons for swift
flights when they were released singly
The New York loft broke the record fol
$50 miles in 1896. and 1t is believed that
II the necessity for using pigeons arises
those from this loft will do good ser.
