of such practical benefit as that OF a

trained to carry messages to and from
the Great Barrier island and Auck-

expanded so much that it has now

the island and their friends and bus!-

available for the purpose. but in 1896,
with the increasing population on the

enforce the feathered army, and at the
present time large numbers OF mes

to the metropolis and vice versa. by
this means. In the first place. IS. per

to the city and when a team of birds
had been trained to fly from Auckland
to the island, messages We're sent at
a cost of Is, and the messages to the

reason of the extra expense from Auck-

perienced in getting birds to leave the
city on their journey across the water.
No messages for the island are sent
from the city after 10 a. m, as the is
land is often enveloped in fog after
that hour. Some idea of the dispatch
with which the birds deliver their
messages may be gained from the fact
that they average tbad weather and

miles. One bird will carry as many as
four messages at a time. The mes

The bold attack OF huge eagle upon
a 6-year-old boy on the street, the val

bird Of freedom. and its subsequent
capture created great stir in Cam

range from 6 to 10 years, were playing
with their sleds upon the sidewalk in
front of the Jesse " Starr public

before noon. They were having fine
sport, all unmindfgl of danger, when
one of them exclaimed: 100000

up and beheld a huge. dark bird how

heads. They watched it until they
grew weary. and they went on with
their play, but every few minutes they
cast their eyes upward. and the bird
was still there. They saw it for an
hour, and had almost forgotten it when
suddenly there came swish and rush
