there IS no intention on the part Of the

When asked II the published reports
that his company wanted to sell out 70
the government was true, he said

took her first dip had been well dredged-
Across this the vessel shot and went in

works men attached a new ten inch

machinery at the yards sought to pull
it from its sticky bed
Tremendous power was applied, but

Carrier-pigeons will be used by the
United States Navy for serious business

several years Lieutenant Charles H.

Chile for the Worlds Fair, has been
engaged in Matching and training cotes
of pigeons at various points along the
Atlantic Coast where there are naval
stations, from Portsmouth, n H., to
Key West, and during the summer
months has made many successful ex-
periments in sending messages by wing
to and from these stations and also
from ships at sea. The longest dis
tance thus far covered by a carrier
pigeon is 800 miles. The MESA ges
