l uhyS an immense fOrtune.
 Stories are told of pearl SnuggIers
 who make pigeons tn cir accomplices in slipping large quantities of val | uable stones across the boundaries of certain countries. Some of the leading newspapers Of this country have re- gently established pigeon services for the rapid conveyance of news. The late George W. Childs of Philadelphia was great lover of pigeons. He presented full cote of these birds to the United States cruiser New York The sport of flying pigeons is com paratively popular in the United States. The first incentive to distance flying was in 1878. when prize of s1oo was offered the owner of the first miles away. For two years no prize was won. but finally 1t was captured by flight from New York to Steuben- vile, O. distance of $40 miles. The winning bird made the double trip in one day, to the astonishment of all in- terested.
 Experts are divided in their opin- ions as to how the carrier pigeons find their way to the home cote. When released. the birds rise several hum to correctly divine that direction ex- dred yards into the air, circling as they go. Suddenly they dart off in the exact direction of home, never failing CGpI IitueBs when COnIuSe0 Dy IOR, rain or snow. The record short flight of a carrier pigeon is 1.7ss yards in a minute-eighty-sev feet more than a mile Pigeon racing Is a favorite sport of many fanciers. and birds are often carried to Georgia from Washington, Baltimore, and New York. and there re- leased for the homeward race. The record long distance flight Is 1000 miles in two days and nine hours.
 In covering long distances pigeons often rest, feed. and loiter on their way. The offiee of the Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General in Washington is favorite resting place for those which fly over the capital city Many tired navigator of tho air here finds rest for his wings, and feed for his craw. The presence of so many pigeons has caused a Virginia hawk to make the postoffice tower his dining quar- ters. and time and again the members Of the once force have found a metal band and a few feathers to tell the | tragic end of another carriers jour ney. The whole force is after that ! hawk, but up to this time the willy marauder has escaped every trap set for him.
 The pigeon industry has been de- veloped to a surprising extent in this country. There are several magazines | devoted exclusively to the pigeon, and others that maintain departments l treating the subject. A large num-
