RACING PIGEONS.
Their Wonderful Speed and Mysterious
Hominq instinct.

Their Wonderful Speed and Mysterious
Homng instinct.
Racing pigeons are the fieetest of all
creatures. They have maintained
speed Of a mile and a half a minute
for a hundred miles. according to
writer in Golfers. and they have
flown 700 miles between the rising and
the setting of the sun.
Pigeons have flown a thousand miles
back to the home loft In 1904 a bird
covered that distance In days 2
hours Is minutes, proving how un-
erring is the mysterious homing In
stinct 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 swifter, shorter beat, and
the time is ''hit up to the third and
permanent wing rhythm, rapid and
steady as a pulse beat. which carries
it home.
Racers fly 300 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 sum
rise and sunset. II 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. 1t was then released 1t imme-
diately returned to it's old home.

The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere.'

The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere.'
Men of genius are confessedly crea-
lures of mood Grief and adversely
have often been real help to them
rather than a hindrance Poe, it is
said, produced 1.-THE Raven" while sit
ting at the bedside of his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote Of
Verdi, told by Carlo Ceccarelli, will
suffice.
On one occasion when Verdi was en-
gagged on his well known opera, 'Il
Trovatore," he stopped short at the
passage Of the "Miserere," being at a
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness and pathos to express the grief
of the prisoner, Manrico.
Sitting at his piano in the deep still
ness Of the winter night his magma
ton wandered back to the stormy days
Of his youth, endeavoring to extract
from the past a plant, a groan, like
those which escaped from his breast
when he saw himself forsaken by the
world. All in vain!
One day at Milan he was unexpect-
eddy called to the bedside Of a dying
friend, one of the few who had re-
NAMED faithful to him in adversely
and prosperity. Verdi at the sight Of
his dying friend felt lump rise in his
throat. He wanted to weep, but so in
tense was his grief that not tear
flowed to the relief Of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood a piano.
Verdi, under one of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men Of genius are
sometimes subject, sat down at the in
strument and there and then impro-
vised the sublime "Miserere" Of the
'Trovatore." The musician had given
utterance to his grief.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
How the Paving Value Of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.

How the Paving Value Of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.
All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use Of the natural rock as
phalt from the mines in the Val de
Travers, Canton Neufchatel, Switzer-
land. The mines were discovered in
1921, but it was in 1S49 that its utility
as road covering was first noticed.
The rock was then being mixed for the
purpose Of extracting the bitumen con-
tanned in it for use in medicine and
arts. 1t Is limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from to IA per cent.
It was observed that pieces Of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight Of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat Of the sun a good road sur
race was produced. A macadam road
OF asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results. and finally in
1854 portion Of the Rue Bergere was
laid In Paris OF compressed asphalt on
a concrete foundation. In 1853 a still
larger sample was laid, and from that
time It has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Paris 1t extended to Lon
oon, being laid on Threadneedle street
In 1869 and Cheapside in 1870 and in
successive years on, other streets, and
tnen Its use In street and road making
extended to other countries. = Ex-
