All forms OF hituminous pavements,

RACING PIGEONS
Their Wonderful Speed and Mystsriot
Hon1ina Instinct.


Their Wonderful Speed and Mystsriot
Hon1Ing Instinct.
Racing pigeons are the tleetest Of all
creatures They have maintained d
speed Of mile and a half minute
for hundred miles. according to a
writer In Golfers, and they have
flown 700 miles between the rising and
the setting Of the sun.
Pigeons have down a thousand miles
back to the home loft. In 1904 a bird
covered that distance in 5 days Q
hours Is minutes, proving how un-
erring Is the mysterious homing In
Btinct that will drive pigeons across the
continent without swerving. But this
test is not true sport The birds sim
ply hurl themselves against time and
space till they are played out. They
can never race again
The racer rises into the air with
heavy, slow wing pulsations; then,
once poised over the starting point,
there Is a swifter. shorter beat, and
the time Is hit up to the third and
permanent wing rhythm, rapid and
steady as pulse beat. which carries
it home.
Racers fly 500 feet high over land. but
low over water. Their enemies as they
fly are wind, rain gunners and hawks.
They do all their flying between sur.
rise and sunset If caught out over
night they fend for themselves till
dawn.
The homing instinct Is lifelong. Dur
ing the Franco Prussian war the Ger
mans caught homing pigeon which
was on its way into beleaguered Paris
The bird was kept prisoner for ten
years. It was then released. 1t imme-
diately returned 10 It's old home.
