The carrier pigeon has rival. Expert
ments are being made with the sea gull as
substitute. These are being conducted
at Ioulon, France, by a man named De-
marque. He began with two birds whose
home was on islands of the Levant group,
of the French coast. They were dis
patched from Tamaris, near Toulon, to the
islands, about twenty-seven miles away,
with messages. One was killed en- route
by a foolish customs official; the other
was brought to Tamaris by a fisherman,
who found it on the rocks with one of its
thighs broken.
Notwithstanding these unlucky circum-
stances, M. Demarque proposes to renew
the experiments with new birds, which he
will obtain, as he did the others, from the
maritime biological La boratory at Tamaris.
which belongs to the Lyons university
school.
The director Of this laboratory, M.
Morier, fully believes with Professor Du-
bois, an authority on ornithology, that
gulls can eventually be used as trans ocean
messengers. Pigeons, he says, are all
right on land, and can do as much as 400
kilometers, or 248 miles, easily. At sea
however, they are soon tired, and in
stormy weather cannot be sent off. The
gulls, on the other hand, are available for
use i'll any weather.
