fiight-muscles; also broad tail feath-
ers, and long, broad wings. Yet an
other essential qualification is keen
eyesight.
Only a few years ago q homing
flight Of 500 miles in day was thought
phenomenal; today fights of 600 or
even 800 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 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 it 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 it will
leave nest and young to get back to
the place where it belongs.
A homing pigeon. cannot be sent
from It's home to another place. 1t
| will fly home, and in no other direc-
ton. 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, so miles away, 100 miles
away, and so on. But, for these per-
formances, it is always shipped from
home In the same direction. On a
new route 1t would be lost.
The carrier pigeon is misnamed; 1t
| is the homer" that carries messages.
The latter has been derived through
the tnterbreeding 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.

Dario Resta's brilliant record-smash-
ing victory in Chicago's first 500-mile
international auto derby. Even hap
pier than Dario himself, who was re-
warded with the handsome sum of
$4,000 for his efforts, was Mrs.
Resta, who was glad to see her hus-
band come home the victor in the
contest. Her Joy was increased by
the fact that her husband finished
without any injury to himself. The
speed king admits that his wife was
really the goal that spurred him on
to victory. Mr.. and Mrs. Resta were
married shortly after the last Van
derbilt cup races, In which Resta
landed first honors.
