It is, perhaps, not generally known,
that swallows can be trained to rival
carrier pigeons as messengers. The
experiment has been successfully
tried on more than one occasion. An
Antwerp trainer of pigeons sent up
some pigeons and swallows at the
same time from Compiegne, in
France, 145 miles off. The swallows
arrived at home in one hour and
seven minutes. The pigeons took
rather more than three times as
long. On another occasion two swal-
lows, which had been previously
trained, wer taken to Paris and
started. They arrived at their home,
Roulax, ninety-three miles from
Paris, in seventy-five minutes.
