SABLE ISLAND PONY HUNTS.
Catching the Wild Horses Which In

When the supply of horses runs
low in Nova Scotia an expedition goes
to Sable Island, rounds up herd of

lot, lassoes them and transports them
to the mainland and captivity. Most
persons know Sable Island as one Of
the places where the transatlantic
liners are picked up ty wireless and

stitute an interesting feature of It.

Story of a Bell.

Few persons suspect that I'm the

bell contemporaneous with Joan OF

The pigeon-post service with this

1908 The FIRST message, which was
dispatched from the lighthouse at
10 a. m, was received in Hobart at
100 p. m. Since that time three
birds have been liberated with mes
sages every three weeks. It being also
