The periscope Is the invention Of a
Hollander, Telar van Elven, who in
1859 built a semisubmersible boat at
Amsterdam. AS his craft was intend
ed to run low In the water. in the
condition known as "awash." and the
difficulty Of observation. due to waves
washing across the low coming tower
some other method than the lookout
scuttles was necessary. Van Elven

mirrors at each end of long tube. the
simplest form Of periscope. His craft
was not successful. but the instrument
of observation was. and proved the
forerunner Of the complicated and deli
cate instrument in use today.

EYE Of SUBMARINE
Latest instrument Enables Command
Or to BE- Practically Sure Thst
Deadly Torpedo wIu nssch
chip He Would Destroy.

Everybody knows the simple prin-
ciple OF the periscope, but few are
aware OF the minute reflnements Of
the construction Of the perfected In
strument, its delicacy and Importance.
Down in the coming tower. In the
semidarkness, with the throbbing OF
machinery and the hnshed hum of
the twilight water slipping past the
lookout scuttles. the commander of
the submarine has been carefully
studying the course OF his prey and
making calculations as to its speed,
carefully laying his own course in &C
cordance. Now the time has come
to take a chance, for soon the peri
scope splash will be observed, to re-
suit in fusillade of projectiles, and
a twisting, lodging course on the part
Of the cruiser. and the submarine
would be baffled.
The officer takes his final observa-
ton, lays his course, presses a but
ton, and the circular-framed picture
before him is extinguished. His pre-
viously calculated period Of blind run
ming expires. If his calculations have
been correct, and the cruiser has not
changed its course or speed he should
be within torpedo range, with the
tubes pointing toward the target. Is
he?
The periscope is pointed carefully
in the direction which should reveal
the ship, pointed as carefully and ac-
curately as a gun would be pointed.
Everything is in readiness, the crew
is standing by the torpedo tubes, and
the second they receive their signal
the great cigarshaped missile will be |
on its way. The commander presses |
a button. The hydraulic power is re-
leased. AS quickly as rattlesnake
strikes and withdraws, the periscope |
shoots Mp and down. For a fraction !
Of an instant an overwhelmingly large |
vision of the enemy ship flashes up.
His calculations have been correct,
and with the speed of thought he
reaches for the signal button which
will send the messenger Of death"
on it's way.
Too late the lookout and the officers
On the bridge OF the cruiser observe
the furrow which marks the approach
Of the torpedo through the water The
helm is thrown hard, but without avail.
Before the ship answers the furrow
has ended in q resounding thump
against the hull, the explosion follows,
and the work Is done.
With the old-style periscope this &C
ton would have been impossible,
granting a sharp lookout had been
kept on the cruiser, for the only way
the captain of the submarine could
have taken his observations would
have been to bring his craft sufficient
ly near the surface to push the rigid
periscope out of the water, and with
draw 1t again by diving, much SLOW

given time for the splash to be seen,

Breeders Have Done Wonders
With "Homing' Pigeons.
For Many Years Efforts to Develop

That 10 Remarkable.

Breeders OF 'homers" are altering
the shape Of the skull Of This variety
Of pigeon with q view to improving
the mentality OF the bird.
The homing pigeon hitherto has had
a short, fat skull, sloping away be-
hind. Now, as a result Of seleotive
breeding, II is acquiring an elongated
Uranium with rounded dome. The
Improvement OF its intelligence &C
complished by this means is declared
to be surprising. Its brain is bigger
and has more room for thoughts.
The homer" is the only bird that
is bred by man for the Improvement
of it's mind. other pigeons are propa-
gated for color, plumage and Incl
dental points" Not so the homing
variety. What is chiefly required of
II is intelligence and memory-though.
in addition, Il must possess strength,
endurance and swiftness of flight.

Nest on Sleeps Back.

An authentic story of a starling's
nest on a sleeps back comes from
auckland Brewer, England. During
strengthening operations on Gourn-
wood farm. which is occupied by Mr..
Cox, one OF the shearers cut into a
f1eshy substance, and examination
showed that ne had cut In half a
young starting, which was in a nest
that had been built in the sleeps
wool, and which contained two other
iiedglings still alive. The nest was
composed OF moss and twigs. For
some weeks previous the sheep, with
others, had the run of three fields
near the farm.

OeeIulncSs Always Hcsts-
night-muscles; also broad tail feath-
ers, and long, broad wings. Yet an
other essential qualification is keen
eyesight.
Only a few years ago a homing
fight Of 500 miles in day was thought
phenomenal; today flights Of 600 or
even 500 miles in "a hours are not
very uncommon. In one recent in.
stance homer" accomplished q
fight of 1900 milestone days be.
ing required, however, to cover the
distance. 1t should be understood
that the pigeon flies only In the day,
time, resting at night. But another
important point to consider is that the
bird, in flying, usually travels a far
greater distance than the shortest
route between the place of departure
and its destination. 1t does much cir
cling and makes wide detours, scan
ming the country over which II passes
and looking for familiar landmarks to
guide it.
This is where memory-as we'll as
eyesight-comes in. The bird does
not find its home by instinct" but
by its remembrance OF landmarks
rivers, towns and the general config-
uration of the terrain.
The common pigeon has the i'm
pulse to fly home, but it cannot find
its way thither from any great dis
lance because it lacks the requisite
intelligence and memory power. In
the homer" this impulse has been
greatly strengthened through breed
ing-so much so, indeed, that 1t will
leave nest and young to get back TO
the place where 1t belongs.
A homing pigeon cannot be sent
from its home to another place. 1t
will fly home, and in no other direc-
tion. At first it is trained for short
distances, in the near neighborhood
of its home. Then it is liberated at
greater and increasing distances-25
miles away, 80 miles away, 100 miles
away, and so on. But, for these per-
formances, 1t is always shipped from
home in the same direction. On a
new route II would be lost.
The carrier pigeon is misnamed; II
is the homer" that carries messages.
The latter has been derived through
the interbreeding of several different
varieties, chief among which are the
carrier, the dragon, the owl pigeon,
and the swift smerle.
The processes Of evolution as modi-
fed by human control have had no
more remarkable illustration than
that afforded by the domesticated
pigeons. all the varieties of which
fantails, pouters, tumblers and the
rest-are descended from one original
kind OF bird. the blue rock" But
the homer" is the only pigeon in
which the special aim Of breeders has
been to develop the intellect.
