The editors who attended the Press
Convention at Morehead, had a fine
opportunity to see the North Carolina
& Atlantic Railroad, which has been
discussed so much recently. Col. j.
a. Bryan, the president, was especial
ly clever and entertained a part Of
the Press Association in royal style.
On a special train he brought them
up to Goldsboro, and gave them the
chance to see what is being done.
The road is being put in fine shape,
and it's earnings are going into new
station houses where they are needed.
The shops have been brought out of a
state Of chaos, added to and furnished
with ned and modern machinery,
where they build everything pertain
ing to the rolling stock, save the
springs under the cars. That the
management is acting wisely and bust
ness-like is plainly demonstrated nv
looking at the road what it was five
years ago, and what it is today. Yet

They will carry Utah, however, if the

Sometimes, also, they intercepted the
pigeons and substituted misleading
messages for the originals, thus becom-
ing wise concerning the plans of their
enemies and also leading them into
confusion. Arabic historians ascribe
the success of the great Nur- ed-Din in
welding together the scattered parts of
his empire to the employment Of pi-
geon posts.
1t was not until the Franco-Prussian
war, however, that pigeons became of
conspicuous public service. During the
siege of Paris fully 10000 official dis
patches were transmitted by pigeon
post. Over million private messages
were sent and 100000 francs in postal
orders. More astonishing still, most of
the messages were delivered. Micro
photographs of war dispatches, private
letters and even news pages We're
printed on films of collodion and car
ried thus by the birds, as much as 80
900 words on certain occasions. These
minute records were afterward en-
larged by photography and made legi-
BILE.
At the close of the war the French
government established an elaborate
system of pigeon posts especially de-
signed to supplement all the accepted
devices for conveying military intelli-
gence. Subsequently many of the Eu-
ropean powers introduced pigeon train
ing branches into both their military
and naval departments. Up to the time
of the breaking out of the present war
in the east Germany was far in adj
vance of any other country in the use
of birds for military purposes. There
is a great loft at Cologne containing
about 600 birds, and there are similar
collections at the other fortified towns
of the empire. The Germans have Civ
en- considerable attention to the train
ing of pigeons and have succeeded In
adding greatly to their utility.

adopted a boy with view to educating
him after a system of his own, FOUND
that he had underestimated the magni-

cast about for wife, whom he gave
clearly to understand that his principal
reason for marriage was to secure ut

wears had paid not single sou for

hostess who threatened summary e1ec-

his liking, so he proposed to cancel his
bill by marriage. The lady was willing,
and the twain were made one.
Weight was taken into consideration

return to them willingly. but the mill
tary service requires much more tnan
this The first trials were made with
movable pigeon houses which were
placed on wheels and went with the
army. 1t was soon found that 1T would
be necessary to carry the birds ON
horseback. so that messages might be
sent from small bodies Of cavalry or
even by single accommodating scout
to the main body, either to the rear or
in front, as the case might be. This. OF
course, would necessltate the employ
ment of movable cot. which must not
only afford a comfortable shelter for
the birds, but must be so small and so
light that it could be carried by a man
on horseback. In the Russian army
birds are carried in rather cumbrouS
cages strapped to the shoulders of the
horseman. In Germany they are con-
yeyed in canvas bags shaped like wal
lets, which are carried on the riders
shoulders.
The flight of trained carrier pigeon
is STEADY, ulIGCC anu IdpIl. lic
ity of movement, however. has been
greatly overestimated. Some interest
ing speed tests have been made on the
island of Santa Catalina, opposite Los
Angeles, Cal. The air line distance
from Los Angeles to Avalon. at which
place several pigeons We're recently
set free, is fifty miles. 1t requires four
hours for steamboat to cover the
route. The pigeons made the flight in
about fifty minutes. This indicates
roughly the speed which may be made
by these birds under the most favorable
conditions. though it has been observed
in actual military service that it will
fall considerably below this. the aver
age being from thirty to forty miles an
hour.
