During a campaign the success Of op'

of cavalry patrols and of the field tele-
graph and telephone. But to insure
the safe arrival of information none
of these means is so reliable as the
carrier pigeon. Scouts are liable TO
be made prisoners or killed, telegraph

In addition to being endowed with
an extraordinary instinct for shaping
its course. a good carrier pigeon must
possess great rapldlty Of flight and
tremendous staying power. The first
named qualIty-the "homlng instinct
which Is lnnate-is not susceptible Of
any Improvement. The two others
may be secured by means of progress
slye and regular training. A pigeons
education begins when It is but three
or four months old. II is conveyed a
mile distant from It's cote and then set
free The experiment Is renewed daily,
the distance on each occasion being
lmperceptlbly increased. The birds
education cannot be considered com
plete, however, until 1t has attained
the age Of three years.
On land the pigeon is able to cover
long distances, such as those between
Rouen and Brussels or New York and
Chicago. Its ratio Of flight under nor
NAL atmospheric conditions, is never
less than 31.15S5O miles an hour, and
never exceeds 49.S5360 miles on a
long distance.
The pigeons are brought aboard the
Transatlantique steamers in wicker
cages having a drinking trough. AS
soon as the French coast is out of
sight passengers DESTROYS of sending
a dispatch are notified to prepare It.
In pursuance Of this object the passen
ger is handed a small rectangular card
on which he is to write as legibly as
possible what he wishes to communi
cate, plus the name and address Of the
receiver;the card is then handed to the

training of the birds, the officers and
men being given instruction in the art
of handling them. In France the
scouts are provided with a pigeon
apiece, which they carry in little iron
case fastened to the waistbelt The
holder has a hinged lid, which Is
opened when the bird is to be released,
and the head piece can be unfastened
when the bird is fed.
In France carrier pigeons are like
horses-liable to be requisitioned In
time of war Every year owners Of
carrier pigeons are compelled to state
at the Mayors Office the number of
birds they own; while foreigners are
no longer permitted to breed carrier
pigeons in the country.
There are at present in Paris some
700 owners of carrier pigeons, posses
sing $4,000 pigeons, 1900 of which are
subjected to a regular course of train
ing. The total number of carrier pig
cons in France is 100000.
The price of a pigeon varies accord

training. Some few years ago, at

The great French shipping company
known as the Compagnie Transatlan-
tique deserves the credit of making
the first attempts to establish what
may truly be styled the seapost.
On March %, 1898, the steamship
La Champagne took aboard, for the
first time, eighty pigeons. Three
patches of birds were set free at a
short distance from the seaboard, and
this in most stormy weather. The
older birds safely reached their cote,
while the younger ones, unable to with
stand a pelting rainfall, dropped into
