A pigeon grower in Germany had
trial of speed between bees and pig
cons. At the same time he liberated
a dozen bees three miles from their
hives, and dozen pigeons the same
distance from their cots. The first
bee reached the goal a quarter of a
minute ahead of the first pigeon. The
other bees came in ahead of the Sec
ond pigeon. The bees had been
rolled in -four before starting, that
they might be known from other bees,
and that made their fight somewhat
slower than it otherwise would have
been. or course the pigeons would
win in long distance race, but bees
fly faster for short distance.-The
