Jersey. where many homlng pigeons are
trained, something had to be done to guard
against the mischievous temptation to
shoot them on wing, therefore it was made
a misdemeanor to trap or shoot homing
pigeon.
In the regular pigeon stations connected
with the army and government there are
provisions made for the reception of the
pigeons. a homing pigeon may arrive
home at night or day. When released it
makes a fight for its home, and rests only
In the darkest hours. In one of the sta
tons there is a mechanism by which a
bird may fly in, but after once In 1t is a

These stations are now at Portsmouth, NJ

1t is claimed that If a pigeon service Is
good for one country 1t is good for an
other, and that if the United States has n
pigeon service Spain should also have one.
But this does not apply in the present I'M
pleasahtness, for Spain has no carrier
pigeon service just now, while the United
States navy is well equipped with one.

it put it's head under its wing. Fearing
that it would fly if disturbed, sailor

The fancier who trained the bird said
that it flew twenty-four miles to rest on

Washington, April BIN the present
emergency, no more efficient corps has
hsep nlaced at the service of the navy
than the flights of carrier pigeons which
ore now at the disposal of Secretary Long.
Far two years The navae academy has

ond now that there is need for the pigeons,

some years ago. and to these two gentle
men is due the credit which now attaches
itself to the pigeon service of the navy.
The first practical use to which the birds
were put was on the fiagships of the Naval
Academy off the coast. They carried out
with them carrier pigeons which were re-
leased and sent TO the navy department.
In this way the boats at sea kept the navy
department at Washington and the Naval
Academy informed of their movements.
Prof Marion, who had charge of the birds
at the Naval Academy soon demonstrated
the value of their service. He invented a
quill to be used in sending messages by the
pigeons, and secured great many orders
for the quill from private and public con-
Germs
For two years the most active training
has been going on, and a cote at Key
West was established and Lieut.. Harlow
was placed in command of it. AS soon as
active hostilities broke out between this
country and Spain, the navy department
made inquiries about the pigeon
service and found that
large number of rapid, accurate pigeons
could be placed at its disposal. The birds
were taken to Key West, which is only
ninety miles from Havana, and located in
Lieut.. Harlows cote there. They have
been taken out from this cote to sea and
released time and again within the last
few weeks. and always with the greatest
success. Scarcely ever has pigeon fail
ed TO return to its home.
In the torpedo fiotilla which is now be-
ing equipped to match SPANS flotilla, there
have been means provided on every
boat for the accommodation of the car
rier pigeons, and when the fotilla starts
out 1t will take with it many Of these
winged messengers.
The value of the pigeons in time of
blockade is great, as the navy department
can be notified of the blockade and can
send ships to the relief of those in distress.
A scout boat in the Gulf with a pigeon SER
vice is even of more value. The scout
snip can communicate with the navy de-
partment within an almost incredible

Arthur McKenna, a well-known con
tractor, has over 200 of his birds for navy
service. One of them being Gainesville
the celebrated homer who finished second
in the world famous race, when the win
ner flew 600 miles from sunrise 10 sunset.
With these birds messages can be sent
TO Washington in the midst of a battle
al sea, giving the fun details of the con-
fllct. The Washington authorities could
act upon the news and could supply more
ships or otherwise relieve the situation.
So highly does France estimate the value
of pigeons in case of war that it recently
passed law that homing pigeons from
other countries should not be admitted
TO france except under the strictest con,
ditions. The French army and navy au-
thorihes realize that in case of war these
pigeons could be released and could carry
10 the opposing country correct news of
the doings in France. 1t will therefore
not allow any trained foreign pigeons to
become residents of France.
