MICROSCOPIC MESSAGES.

How. Single Pigeon Might Garry .
Whole Library.
For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes
sages when no other means sufiiced,
and during the siege Of Paris, when
363 birds were sent out from the doom
ed city, one Of the birds performed the
almost incredible feat Of carrying to
the outside world Oh one trip NO less
than 10000 messages averaging twenty
words each. This was SOO.OOO 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 Ordi-
nary type and then photographed and
rephOtOgraphed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were taken on
films or peliicles Of cOllOdiOn, each Of
which, about two inches square. con-
tanned $1,000 words. A dozen Of these
films, rolled up in quill. weighed but
one twenty-eighth Of an ounce. The
messages could. Of course, be read
with a microscope without the neces
sity Of rephOtOgraphing and charging.
Under favorable conditions and for
comparatively short distances pigeons
have carried as much as three-Quar-
tiers Of an ounce. Using the photo re-
duction method, 1t would therefore be
pOSsible for n single bird to carry
messages equal In words to no fewer
than 40 ordinary vOlumes.-Harpef's

SHAVING IS NOT FATAL.

BARRIERS Nowadays % Not Use Ham.
msrs and Cold chisels.
In reply to q correspondent who says
he yearns to have his flowing beard
removed and yet lacks the Spartan
frmness of the early martyrs to face
the ordeal and r.akes O pathetic ap.
peal for advice the alfalfa editor OF
the EmpOria Gazette unfeelingly re
marks:
1.-The alfalfa editor can offer no ad.
vice or encouragement to such q trem-
bling soul. 1t seems probable that he
has worn his whiskers for many years.
1t Is likely that he hasn't purchased q
shave for a quarter of century and
therefore is ignorant Of the improve
ments in the art tOnsOrial which have
been achieved in recent years. 1t Is
no longer like going through slaugh-
ter house to an open grave to be shay
ed by an expert barber. In fact, that
operation has been so shOrn Of its ter
rOrs that many eminent citizens con-
slider 1t a pleasure to visit the barber.
1t is no longer necessary to strap a
patient down in the chair before shay
ing him: neither is 1t necessary to ad-
minister anaesthetics to his whiskers.
''The man whose only reason for
wearing whiskers Is the fact that he
fears the barber shop will gain little
sympathy. If he tries to explain that
he cannot shave himself without suf-
fering the agOnies Of the all fired he
will gain less. Such excuses might
have had some force long ago. when
BARRIERS used hammers and cold CHS
els. but science has made giant strides
in recent years, and the country is full
of painless BARRIERS. and clean shave
costs no anguish or Inconvenience"
