The Carrier Pigeon.

Did you ever hear OF pigeon carry

service this little creature can tender
Is beyond belief. Long before the tele-

rier pigeon was trained TO bear mes
sages to immense distances, and In
times OF war Il carried communion
ton from the besieged city TO the out
er world. The carrier pigeon post has
been cultivated mostly by the Dutch
The process OF training these little
creatures consists In taking them q
short distance from home, TO which
they And their way back very easily
This distance Is gradually increased
until they are brought as far as It Is
desired they should fly. The letter
containing the message Is tied around
the stem OF the middle feather OF the
tail. Here II neither binders the pl
geon's flight nor will It fall or. but
when II is flying the other feathers
generally cover the letter and protect
II from rain.

The Weather In Africa.

Everybody seems 20 think OF Africa
as a place Of torrid heat, with no re
lief anywhere. But that Is far from
the truth. says Chicago News. AS n
matter OF fact. some parts OF that
country are as temperate as our own.
and other parts-where the ground
reaches great elevation-are cold.
Our impression OF the climate OF the
country Is based on what we have
heard OF the heat OF its lowlands. A
priest who lived on the Pacific coast
there for eight years says that he new
er saw the mercury higher than s5 de-
grees, and az Stanley Falls. where he
now lives. the highest that 1t ever
reaches is 90 degrees. with nights that
are nearly always cool. But when II
comes TO storms. he says, Africa beats
anything that a European ever dream
ed OF. He asserts that he once count
ed sixty-six lightning strokes In one
minute and says also that he has
known ten thunderbolts TO strike with
in a radius OF few hundred yards In
the space OF two hours.
