Pigeon Photographer with Single Lens Camera

At last one day a pigeon with a very
important message was despatched from
the sanitarium to the Doctors Office, and
although the bird was celebrated for its
speed and trustworthiness it did not ap-
pear at the end of its journey for a
month. The same thing later happened
10 another bird, and the owners of the
pigeons became very curious to know
what had become of them. Finally il oc-
CURED to some one that since the pigeons
are able to carry o1e-third of their weight
it would be possible to attach small cam
eras to the birds so that when they wan
dered away they would return with a
record of their wanderings on the plate
of the camera.
A special camera was made, acting
automatically, so that it would take a
picture at a fixed moment The pictures
so taken were not more than half an inch
square. For a great many years differ
ent men experimental with these cameras
until they finally invented something that
was entirely practical.
The cameras are attached TO the breast
of the pigeon by straps which pass under
the wings and hold a metal plate directly
between the wings in place. This plate
has two metal hooks on which the cam
era fits so securely that there is no dan
ger of its being dislodged even in fight.
The cameras weigh two and a half
ounces or less, and their size varies, never
being more than two and half by two
and half by four inches. There are
many different sorts of cameras, some
of which take panoramic views, perpen-
dicular and horizontal views and other
repeating cameras, besides the more COM
mon single lens camera.
In order that the picture which the
pigeon is to take may be of any particu-
lar place it is necessary to know exactly
how far the place is from the point at

escapes through small hole in the bah
until just at the proper moment it is all
out of the ball and the shutter opens so
that the photograph is taken
of course the pigeon, Just like human
beings, is not at all grateful when this
new burden is first placed upon it, and
1t struggles hard for a while to rid IL
self Of its queer harness. But when II
finds this impossible at last it settles down
to carrying its little camera faithfully
and after few weeks training it is ap-
parently quite as comfortable with II as
without it. No one knows what will be
the final use to which the work of these
pigeon photographers will be put, but in
Germany they are hoping that some use
win finally be made of them by the War
Department, which may send out the
pigeons to take photographs Of the de-
fences of the enemy or the country over
which it is desired that : body Of troops
shall be sent.

which the pigeon is started. Then the
camera apparatus is timed according to
the rate of fight of a carrier pigeon, so
that the shutter will be open at exactly
that point and not any earlier or later
One way in which this is done is to
have a small ball of rubber attached to
the mechanism which holds the shutter
in place. This ball is blown up before
the pigeon is started, so that before il col
lapses the picture will be taken. The ball
IS marked with the different places to
which it must be blown up in order that
it may collapse at the proper moment for
any given distance. For instance, if the
operator knows that the place which he
wants the pigeon to photograph is ten
minutes away according to the pigeons
rate of flying, the ball is blown up to the
ten minute mark, which is made possible
by the nature of the apparatus. The air

and even in serious danger, because these
enemies had such a large supply of ponies
that they could easily run down and over
power assailants who fought on foot.
''The first thing for us to do" Good
Heart and his comrades said to one an
other. sis to capture some of their ponies. -
But they could not decide on the best
way to bring this about
That night as Good Heart lay on his
blanket he heard faint sound at his
elbow, and looking down saw by the light
Of the FIRE that it was one of the gray
people. In a very thin little voice, so
low that none of the other youths could
overhear, the little visitor then told Good
Heart of plan that the gray people had
arranged to help him out of his dificulty.
Good Heart listened in great delight, then
lay awake until an hour before dawn.
Then he stole out of camp and ran alone
to a spot near the camp of the enemy.
Here he gave very gentle whistle, and
as he did so a dozen ponies, dragging
The Washington herald., 1912-02-18

hung on the backs Of the ponies to keeI
off hunger for very many months to come
By the time the tribe came in sight Of
the village on the homeward march the
weather had grown bitterly cold and snow
was beginning to fan softly down from
! the low, gray skies. The Indians had
plenty of food and fire, and Good Heart
being young and active, did not think OF
minding the cold himself, but be felt
rather anxious about the fate Of the little
gray people. He was sure they could not
be comfortable in a village so long de-
serted and feared they were both cold and
hungry. So, going quietly to his mother,
the boy begged her to give him a long
strip of meat and a good piece of fat
besides, and not TO ask him what he
wanted it for.
The boys mother knew that he must
want the meat for some good purpose, so
she gave it to him, and he ran ahead 70
the village, and, calling out the little
people from their homes, offered them the
food that he had brought At this there
was a great scurrying and scrambling
out from all the earth lodges and every
one of the hungry little gray people came
out 10 get a share Of the food. This
satisfied Good Heart and he was turning
away when the old man in gray gar
ments appeared to him.
Again you have been OF great service
to my people" the gray man said, and
We are glad that We have it in our power
to help you in return. Never forget,
Good Heart, that we are your faithful
friends, and call upon US always when
you may be in need of service. One
thing only we must ask, and that is,
that you never speak to any human being
of whatever aid We give you"
Good Heart thought it was very POI
lite of the little gray people to say this,
but he did not dream that they could
ever really help him. For who could

their ropes behind them, trotted toward
him.
Hastily mounting one of the ponies he
gathered up the ropes that were attached
to the others halters and led them all
back to his own camp. Arriving there
just at daybreak he awoke his comrades
and displayed the ponies he had cap
tured. But because the little gray people
had bidden him keep their secret he could
not tell that it was they who had stolen
into the enemies camp and gnawed the
ponies ropes of short so that they wan
dered out all ready to be taken.
The hostile Indians were, of course,
equally puzzled, and after this tied their
horses at night much faster than before.
But their knots were quite useless when
the little gray people chose to gnaw the
ropes, which they did after this when
ever Good Heart bade them. And so
when all their ponies had been seized in
the same fashion there was nothing for
them to do but to break camp and steal out

suppose that delicate little mouse could
ever be useful 10 tall, strong Indian
boy?
Now, Good Hearts mother still thought
of him. of course, as only a boy. But
during the past year he bad grown very
tall. On the trail he could run heeter
than deer. And his arm was so steady
and his eye so sure that every arrow
that left his bow went precisely where he
aimed it. So the older men of the tribe
made up their minds that Good Heart
was almost a man and that he had in
him the making Of a warrior. They said
that he must now 20 out on the war
path for the first time and show what
he could do. So the youth put on manly
dress and took tomahawk and a heavy
quiver full of arrows and with score
Of young companions set out to skirmish
about the camp of a certain hostile tribe.
But as soon as the young warriors got
within reach of their enemies they found
that they were at a great disadvantage

Y IOWADAYS, since there are so many
IN means of sending messages from one
person to another, pigeons, which
used to have considerable work 10 do as
messenger boys, have been extremely idle
and have largely devoted themselves to
Sauntering bout in the air and adding to
the beauty of the landscape. But re-
Gently it has been founc that there are
other ways of employing these birds on
important missions besides sending them
On long distance flights as messenger
boys. The particular new field for
pigeon activities which haG been discov-
cred is that of photography.
These pigeon photographers were first
ltarted on their mission in life in Ger
many, where a physician had been in the
Aabit of sending carrier pigeons from his
Sfice in the city to a sanitarium in the
Oearby country. Medicine, pills and pow
ders were put in little satchel and tied
TO one of the pigeons, which carried them
from the Doctors Office to the sanitarium.

remarkable exploit, both his own con-
panions and the older braves thought
him a wonderful warrior. And when
not long after, attack upon the village
was threatened from q strange tribe
that was lowering near everybody said
Good Heart must first capture theiI
ponies. Then We can do what we pleas
with our enemies" And so Good Heart,
with the help of the gray people, did
what was asked Of him, and once again
was very easily victorious
By this time the tribe owned so many
ponies that it was very rich and power
full, and all this had come through the
efforts of one courageous youth. 1t
was no wonder that Good Heart came to
be known even far outside his own
tribe as the brayest and cleverest youth
of his age in all the Indian country.
And as he was really both brave and
clever he deserved this reputation,
though he would probably never have
gained it without the aid of his little
gray friends But this secret he had
promised never to disclose, and so the
part that the ray people played was not
suspected.
There will be another story about the uttIs
gray people next week.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-18

FTER q nights rest in his own
n home Good Heart found that he
~ was more than ready TO set of
for another long run and rejoiu
for the second time his family
and his tribe. He didn't know
what he ought TO do about saying good
by to the gray people, as they were not
in sight, even the happy mouse-mother
and her babies having hidden themselves
away very carefully. So he thought for
a moment, then stood in front of the
wisharU and said in a loud voice.
''Oh, dear little gray people, J. thank
you for being my friends. ! am leaving
you now, but you may be sure that
when l come back 1 shall not forget
you"
At this so many little squeaks sounded
from the floor and corners of the lodge
that Good Heart knew he had been
heard. So, laughing with delight at the
thought # this wonderful new friendship
he HAD formed, he left the village and
the gray people and ran gayy of.
His mother and friends, who supposed
that he had gone out to hunt and kill some
wild animal that he had seen, were very
happy when he returned to them a few
days later, even though he brought no
trophies of his skill as a hunter, for the
boy had always been a favorite with the
tribe. The hunt was well under way by
this time, and many buffalo had already
been killed. Good Heart, who was con-
sidered too young to be hunter, did his
part in helping to skin and dress the slain
animals Not only did the meat have to
be cut in strips and then dried very care

n Switzerland there is so much ice
and snow for so long a time that the
little errand boys who in this country
would deliver their parcels either on foot
or bicycle take to their skis and carry
their parcels in great baskets on their
backs. They acquire such skill in man
aging their skis that It Is perfectly easy
for them to 60 on their daily rounds in
this fashion. One of the interesting
sights that one sees in this most inter
esting country is the Swiss baker boy
on his skis and with a huge basket of
bread strapped to his back. He wears
