Pigeons Take Photographs.

The remarkable sense of direction
"hlch enables a pigeon to find its way
back to the cote, even from q con-
siderable distance, has long been used
Tor the conveyance of written messages.
IL occurred to DR.. Neubronner of
Cronberg recently that he might attach
TO pigeon small Photographic
camera. allowing some distinct views
to be taken during flight of about
twenty meters a second.
After testing this camera from an
express train. DR.. Neubronner pro-
ceeded to perform his first experiments
on carrier pigeons as photogra phers
and the first pictures. which were two
by two centimeters in size, We're con-
sldered quite satisfactory as prelimin
airy results. AS the inventor som
realized the scope of this idea he
ordered from good mechanic a larger
camera with better objective and
films of four by four centimeters. with
a view to. further improving those
views This camera having been fixa3
to the pigeons breast with q thin
board of hard wood, was kept in posi-
ton on the back of the bird by means
of straps. A small India rubber hall

would effect the instantaneous opening
OF the shutter in due time AS the air
issued from the ball the latter COL
lapsed more and more, while disenga--
ing the shutter at regular intervals
Whlcn were readily predetermined. DR.
Neubronner was thus able to secure
eight consecutive views, but the
of the apparatus is likely to
be increased up to thirty views, so that.
with intervals of half a minute, a dis
lance OF fifteen kilometers could he
covered nearly continuously. AS a
pigeon is able to transport seventy-fiye
grains to distance ten times as great
no essential difficulties will be met
with in carrying this idea out in prac
ice. 1t is interesting that the German
patent Office, owing to the prevalent |
erroneous views as to the small carry
ing capacity of pigeons, should at first !
nave been rather skeptical in regard to
Or. Neubronner's invention, granting
The patent only after being satisfied Of :,

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

An eastern writer, contributing to
one of the Chicago papers has volu-
bly, given expression to his opinion
concerning attention being given to
ones own affairs. While the article
is not artistically phrased, it is, new
ertheless, good to remember:
"There are three sides to every dis
pute-the inside and the outside and
the wrong side. Make sure you see
the right side when you pass judg-
ment. But before you bother about
the matter at all figure out whether
it's any affair of yours to give an
opinion. Chances are that you are a
muddling. meddling, interfering but
ter-in-a self-constituted, unsum-
moned jury Of one.
"See to it when you chase the
chickens out of your neighbours gar
den that you, yourself, don't create
more havoc by trampling down the
flowers.
"Mind your own business. If you
have one, it needs all the attention
you can give it. If you find that you
have any attention to spare, you need
new sort of business.
"Active critics are usually lazy
builders. Men who have accom-
plished most in the world are con-
stantly figuring how they can squeeze
out little more time to catch up
with their back work. No real busy
body was ever busybody.
Lending advice is like lending
money-it destroys every other friend
ship. A still tongne is multitude
of virtues.
"Get out Of the habit of making
other peoples beds. Keeping your
own comfortable is good-sized life
task.
"There's always bit of glass in
every cottage, and when you feel the
desire to break somebody else's win
dows, first take squint through
your own. If you look with honest
eyes you will see enough targets to
occupy your attention without quit
ting the premises.
"The law against snarling eurs is
not nearly so necessary as statute
against snarling people. 1t s'nt the
canine who most needs the muzzle.

and kills Il good name deserves as
much punishment as that other type
of prize idiot, who shoots of gun
without noticing where it's pointed.
The fact that neither one knows "it
is loaded" doesn't heal the hurt.
"See, hear and speak no evil" is
one OF the first lessons implanted in
the mind of japanese. child.
The world Is not nearly SO bad as it
has been painted. The average hu-
man is pretty decent sort of individ-

discounting the best in men and wo-
men have gotten the viewpoint from
themselves. A thief has confidence

part of her long summer vacation
will be spent.
1t may be that the people of Malta
expect too much from the Malta Cor
net Band at their concert Friday June

beautiful selections played at their
Monday and Friday evening open

pect a heap lot and than some at the
concert, for the boys have been going
at their concert music like little
boys killing snakes. TO say the least,
no one will be disappointed as the
music and songs will be varied to
sooth all sorts of people and their
positions. For the old soldier, or a
young knight, "Hike' will appeal to
them like "Adeline" will to the
youthful lover, who will have to hold

on war path. All together the pro-
gram will be circus for all. Be sure
and get your seat reserved at once as
they are going fast.
