NOTES OF THE AUTO

a test recently MADE by the United
States government shows that motor
cycles and horsemen require about the
same distance to bring their mounts
to a stop. A skilled cavalryman go
ing % miles an hour brought his steed
to halt within % feet while a motor
cycle rider travelling at 40 miles an
hour came to a stop within 147 feet.
A motor enthusiast of the east writes
that the profits accruing from the an
nual road race in Paramount park
Philadelphia. on October will be given
to charity by the Quaker City motor
club.
That the condition of the roads of
California is closely watched by the
motorists in the east is plainly shown
by an article recently published in a
periodical of that section The writer
states that there are 5000 miles OF
oiled earth roads in California. He
also goes on TO say that the roads of
this state are almost ideal for touring,
as we'll as the climatic conditions, dur
ing almost the entire year.

PIGEONS AS CARRIERS
OF MAIL ACROSS SEA
Winged Messengers Fit Be-
tween Lighthouses

Pretty pigeons of Australia carry
naclxares and messages between Hobart
and NIaatsuyker island lighthouse, a
distance OF about 10 miles. Last No
yenber they called physician for a
lighthouse attendant and probably saved
his life. Three birds are liberated with
messages every three weeks and when
accident or illness occurs three addi-
tjona1 birds are set free. Twelve birds
in all are used for the service. While
MESA ges have not always reached their
destination. the service has neverthe-
less been highly satisfactory. The mes
saees are written on a piece of paper
tied under the birds wing, but the ma
rfne board has in view some celluloid
cases which may be adjusted under the
birds wing and in which good deal of
information might be carried.
The birds are fed on gray peas of
good quality, get plenty of grit and
fresh water and are kept thoroughly
clean. They are also allowed at their
station plenty of opportunity for need
full exercise. That Maatsuyker island
lighthouse. which has most isolated
position. could secure physician from
Hobart 6 hours after he had been sent
for by pigeon post has suggested i'm
portant possibilities for more general
use of homing pigeons for such service

Investigation Of the telephone system in

2,7O miles of track on which the operation
Of trains can be controlled by the use Of
telephones. Operators along the line d. not
like the new system, but are not saying
much against 1T for fear Of bringing about
a crisis that they believe will come sooner

the situation and the t~elegraphers feel that
the day has passed when they can dictate

federal government is to test the reliability
of the new system, as eventually ii will be
up to the commission to determine whether
the use OF the telephone In the direction Of
trains is reliable, The legislatures of sew

to a hotel they escorted Mostert to the
Burlington yards, where they. proceeded to

handled with considerable roughness by the
