THE STOOL PIGEON.
lts Part In Capturing, the Wild Birds
In Eorner Tirnas

Its Part In Capturing, the Wild Birds
In Former Times.
There are OCCASIONAL reports Of small
focks Of wild pigeons having been
seen III different parts Of tie United
States ana Canada. Possibly these
are the harbingers OF their return from
South America whence they migrated
for some unknown reason fifty years
ago.
It may not be generally known that
the somewhat odfous term stool pi-
geon" as used today arose from the
stool pigeon that used to be employed
in catching4.wtsa pigeons IN former
times They used to be SO plenty that
they were taken in great numbers by
the use Of spring nets. These nets
varied in size, but were from two to
ten yards long and were half as wide.
They We're concealed as much as pos
sible, being partly covered with hay or
straw or whatever was most suitable.
At each end was strong spring, to
which ropes were attached, something
like $50 feet long, to where the watch
er was concealed. Close to the net was
a stool, or stand, where the 'stoel pi-
geon," usually tame or captured one,
was placed. The pigeon was tied by
the feet to the stool, and from this
stool rope extended to the person in
concealment. Wheat or some other
grain was scattered about the net, and
when the flock was passing the rope
attached to the stool was pulled, caus-
ing the pigeon to rise and flutter its
wings In trying to escape. This at
tracted the attention OF the passing
flock and induced them to light where
the grain had been scattered. Then a
slight pull on the. ropes would release
the spring to the net, which would be
thrown over them so quickly that they
had no time to escape. Sometimes
many hundreds were captured in this
way at single haul.-Amateur Sports
