T. A. Henning, watchman at the upper Otter creek reservoir Atlin, was attacked by a mother grizzly bear and her two cubs. Henning was armed with a 3O-3O rifle, but claimed that he feared to shoot, as he believed the hear was so big that eight bull lets would only madden her. He beat the bear in a mile footrace to the reservoir, with the mother bruin a close second. The bears kept Hen hing in the water until help arrived and drove them away.

eighteen lofts scattered at advantageous
points throughout the kingdom; Por.
tugal has fourteen military lofts, AUS
tria seven, Switzerland four, Sweden
and Denmark each have several. Hol-
land has no military pigeon lofts, but the
Government encourages the breeding
and training of homing pigeons, and the
fame of the Dutch pigeons is world
wide. In Belgium, where pretty much
everybody keeps homing pigeons. fly

national pastime.
During our own little war with Spain
the homing pigeon rendered important
service in carrying messages from the
blockading fleet in Cuban waters. Even
Japan has taken to breeding homing
pigeons for military use. Without
doubt some of these pigeons will see
service in the impending campaign in
The Shantung peninsula.
Naturally, after rendering such distin-
guished services during the memorable
siege Of the French capital, the hon.
ing pigeon is especially priced in
France. 1t was inspiration rather than
forethought that placed the pigeons at
the service of the Government in 1871.
At that time there were no military pig
cons, either in France or elsewhere. But
some citizens OF Paris by the merest
chance had some pigeons, and It
occurred to them that they might
be utilized They were offered to
the Government and promptly ac-
cepted 1t was six years after
the war before France set about the or

Now there are twenty-eight military

Throughout France there are a hundred
thousand homing pigeons in the hands
Of private owners which the Govern
ment is empowered by law to COM
mandeer in case Of need.
The breeding and training of the
pigeons are under the care of the En-
gineer Corps. The utmost care, to say

Homing Pigeons Useful
as Messengers in War

references in the war
r. news to the use of homing
pigeons discloses the interesting
fact that these winged messen-
gers have proved themselves so useful
and so trustworthy that they cannot be
supplanted even by such up to the min
ute devices for conveying information
as the field telephone, the wireless tele-
graph. the Telegraph, the motorcycle
and the aeroplane, all of which are
freely used by all the forces in the field.
Indeed, notwithstanding the wonderful
progress that has been made in modes
Of conveying intelligence the homing
pigeon will be more extensively used in
the present conflict than in any other
recorded in history. At least prepara-
tions have been going on for years to
this end. For the first time pigeons
drilled as carefully and as persistently
as any other part OF he military estab-
lishment will be tried in war.

From the earliest times recorded in
history the homing pigeons wonderful
faculty of getting home in a hurry has
been utilized in conveying messages. In
the days of the PharOahs navigators
sailing to Egypt used to release pigeons
with messages to let the folks know
they were coming home, In the seventh
century the Arabs maintained a regular
pigeon post. Pigeons also rendered VAL
liable services to the Dutch at the siege
OF Leyden in 1874,
But 1t took the siege Of Paris during
the Franco prussian war forty-fouT
years ago To establish fully the value of
the homing pigeon as a messenger.
During the siege seventy-four balloons
assembled carrying pigeons to Tours and
other points. II was estimated that 500
pigeons were sent from the provinces
to Paris during the siege, and that the
total number Of messages carried by
these winged messengers would make a
library of 500 volumes. Barreswll and
Dagron developed a process OF micro
photography by which 1000 to 5000
letters could be photographed on a film
two inches long and an inch and a half
wide. The messages were read by plac-
ing them in a stereopticon and throwing
them on a screen. Upward OF 10000
such messages were sent during the
siege.
SO entirely successful was the pigeon
post that one OF the first things Bis.
marck did after the treaty of peace
was signed was to establish a pigeon
loft ia Berlin for the use OF the army.
