RELIGION AND BUSINESS

centuries he has been miserably paid.

MICROSCOPIC MESSAGES.
How Single Pigeon Might Carry
Whole Library.


For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes
sages when no other means sufficed,
and during the siege Of Paris, when
1863 birds were sent out from the DOOM
ed city, one Of the birds performed the
almost Incredible feat of carrying to
the outside world on one trip no less
than 10000 messages averaging twenty
words each. This was 100000 words,
or the equivalent of five or six average
novels.
This marvel was accomplished by
means Of microscopic photography, the
messages being first printed with ordl-
nary type and then photographed and
rephotographed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were taken on
films or pellicles of collodion, each OF
which, about two inches square, con-
tanned 10000 words. A dozen Of these
films, rolled up in quill, weighed but
one twenty-eighth Of an ounce. Inc
messages could, of course, be read
with q microscope without the neces-
sity of rebhotographing and enlarglng
Under favorable conditions and for
| comparatively short distances pigeons
have carried as much as three-quar'
ters of an ounce. Using the photo re
duction method, it would therefore be
possible for a single bird to carry
messages equal in words to no FEWER
than 12O ordinary volumes.-Harper
Weekly.

An Early Airship.

We are told by Peter Farley, who
wrote as an eyewitness, that in Au-
gust, 1885, the airship Eagle was Of
ficially advertised to sail from London
with government dispatches and pas
sengers for Paris and to establish d.
rect communication between the cap1-
tails of Europe. This early type OF air
ship was 100 feet hong, fifty feet high
and forty feet wi de, and she lay In
the dockyard of the Aeronautical So
ciety in Victoria road, near Kens1ng-
ton gardens, then quite a rural spot.
Built to hold an abundant supply OF
gas. she was covered with oiled lawn
and carried a frame seventy-hve 1ee'
long and seven feet high, with CABIN
secured by ropes to the balloon. All
immense rudder and wings or inns OF
each side for purposes of propulsion

Gypsy Queens.

On occasions America treats Its
gypsy monarchs with fun regal pomr
Matilda Stanley was accorded an al
most royal funeral in 1873 at Dayton
O., where, ten years later, another
queen, was crowned with all proper
ceremonial In England, too, gypsy
queens have received all due honor.
Esther Faa Blythe, who. died in 1883,
had many members of the aristoeracy
on her visiting list, and she, too, had a
regular coronation. But, on the whole,
the gypsy has not had a very good
time in England. An act of 1892, for
example, made It a felony without
benefit of clergy to be merely seen for
a month in the society of 'gypsies.
while for actually being a gypsy no
punishment was too severe.-London
Standard
