In these latter days of the nine
teenth century when the boast of civil
ization is that space is annihilated and
chat the matter of distance enters but
very little in transactions where speed
of execution and transmission are the
requisites of business success and when
all the world of commerce relies on the
power of steam or electricity it may
seem unadvisable to invoke the aid of
agencies which were known and used
by the people of the Orient thousands
of years ago. And yet the old Pers
ians and Arabians on many an occas-
ion made use of that wonderful bird,
the carrier pigeon, in which speed, en-
durance and sagactiy are perfectly
combined and achieved astonishing re-
suits.
The same is true today. The car
cumstances, will battle against the
conflicting elements and often reach
his destination before other agencies
which are propelled by an unlimited
amount of force can reach the same
goal.
The stories, related very frequently
in the press CT the country in regard to
the higher rate of speed attained on
The average by the pigeons when COM
pared with the speed of railroad trains,
are as a rule discredited by most peo-
pie and in many cases is justifiable.
But in order TO prove that all the stor-
les are net false it might be well to re-
late an incident which happened at
Valley Junction several days ago.
AlbOn Whitecraft, who lives in Cam
bridge, has several pigeons which he is
very proud OF and whose records in
jouIneying to their loft in Mr.. Whit
crafts house are well known to rail
road men.
Mr.. j. T. Young, baggage agent on
The Pennsylvania lines, took the birds
with him to Valley Junction and re-
leased them Tuesday. They darted off
straight as an arrow for their Cam
bridge home, which they reached in an
hour and fifteen minutes frcm the time
Of starting at Valley Junction. The
birds were released just as the south
bound train left Valley Junction. They
reached their destination about an
hour ahead of the train, demonstrating
their superiority in speed ever the iron
horse.
Agent Jones, of the Adams Express
Co., received nine OF the birds from
friend in Beaver, Pa, several days
ago. The birds will be released this
morning at o'clock and the time OF
departure from the city and arrival at
their Pennsylvania home will be care
fully noted. The result will be watched
with interest by the people in the city
who are discussing the feasibility of
employing the carrier pigeon in the
messenger service.
