FEATs OF CARRIER PIGEONS
Since tho Franco-Prussian War Their
Value Has Been Recognized by
All Governments.

The famous performance of carrier
pigeons during the siege Of Paris IN
the Franco-Prussian war, when they
carried upwards Of 10000 messages,
was the result of an inspiration rather
than of forethought. Private citizens
who CHANGED to have pigeons offered
them to the government. Their per-
Torrance was such a splendid success
that France has ever since maintained
large fiocks in charge of the engineer
corps.
The birds are carefully trained as
soon as they are able to fly and are
then drilled daily for the rest Of their
useful lives. They are taught to fly and
to alight on signal. The first thing
Bismarck did after the treaty of peace
was signed was to establish pigeon
lofts in Berlin and elsewhere through
out the empire. Every other nation in
Europe followed his example, and to-
day every government has thousands
of pigeons, all ready to carry messages
in time Of war.

SiunaIino With Smoke.

A simple and most ingenious meth
cd of signaling from an aeroplane has
just been invented by young French
engineer named Means. 1t Is sys.
tenn of optical telegraph, the dots and
dasnes of the Morse code being writ
ten in the air by short and long puffs
of smoke.
The apparatus for discharging these
puffs, as built by Breguet, consists OF
a black receptacle for smoke, situated
below the aviator's seat and project
ing downward. 1t Is closed at its low
er end by a valve that can be opened
and shut with a small lever. Accord.
ing to the length or brevity of the
opening the puff of smoke is dash or
a dot. The smoke trails horizontally
behind the aeroplane and remains a
long time in the air If this is still;
even in a high wind it remains long
enough to be read with a field-glass
at distance Of several miles.

New Unicycle Speedy.

A speed CT 70 miles an hour Is
claimed for an engine-driyen unicycle
recently built by a resident Of st.
Louis, which has been tried out on
the roads surrounding that city. The
wheel is of aluminium and Is 81 inches
in diameter, with a solid rubber tire.
The seat for the rider, the engine and
the gasoline tank I'll are suspended
inside this ring. When at rest this
machine Is maintained In an upright
position by means Of pair of rollers
and skids, which are located at the
sides of the machine, but when the
latter is in motion these are raised
clear of the ground. The motive
equipment consists Of the engine of a
flying machine with its propellers and
the apparatus presents very remark
able sight as it speeds over the
ground.

CLIPPING THE WORK TEAMS
Cruel Practice to Clip Animals During
Severe Cold Weather-Remove Old
Hair In Spring.
ancestors.


(By w. B. LEUTZo
It Is cruel to clip the work teams
during the winter and allow them to
stand exposed to the cold winds and
storms, but I am convinced that it is
an excellent plan to remove the old
hair in the spring before they are put
to work, especially If their coat is long
and thick
1t makes the horses more comfort
able and it is easier to keep them
clean, which is very important item
to man during the rush Of spring
work when his time Is limited.
Horses that are clipped should be
kept moving and blanketed every time
they are left standing or taken out to
work during the stormy weather.
On many farms more horses are
kept than are used for work during
the winter, and consequently receive
very little grooming during that time
Their coats became very thick and
long and when put to work they sweat
profusely and 1t is very difficult to
keep them dry and clean.
Such horses had best be clipped. It
will require less grain to keep them In
condition and they will require much
less grooming. We know how dis
agreeable it would be for US to per-
form a hard springs work with our
heavy winter clothes on. Horses with
heavy coats are in precisely the same
condition.

GIRL COSSACK is WOUNDED
Wealthy Russians Daughter, Aged
Twenty, Given Cross of st. George
for GaIlantry.

Petrograd.-Among the wounded
Russian soldiers brought into the Red
Cross hospital in Moscow this week
is a strongly built girl, twenty years
old, named Mary Izaakof.
49, She is the daughter of prosperous
Russian and before the war was known
as. an expert fencer and horsewoman.
When war began she offered her serv-
ices and was accepted, with her own
horse, as a volunteer in a Cossack
regiment.
At the front she distinguished her
self on scouting duty, and later took
part in a holly contested charge
against Prussian dragons. In this
charge she was wounded by shrapnel.
She received the Cross of st George
for gallantry in action. Her wound
is not serious.

HAD TO STAND THE GHOSTS
Frenchman vainIy Tried to Get Relief
From His UnweIcome, Noisy
Visitors.

Writing on the effect Of ghosts on
; leaseholds, William W. Ackerly In
Case and Comment tells of a case De-
fore the parliament of Paris less tnan
four centuries ago. 1t appeared that
a house was let in the suburbs OF
Tours. and that the tenant, being
promptly disturbed by a noise ana
routing of invisible spirits, which sur
fered neither himself nor his family
to sleep O. nights" as promptly went
to law. The lower court broke the
lease, the hauntings being consldereo
insupportable nuisances. But this ne
did without letters royal, and the les
sors appealed on the formal point
Then the ghost was in for It, Inc
learned counsel for the lessons
laughed at the very idea of noisy
spirits, and cited Joan Of Arc, and
quoted from Plato, Philo, Judaeus,
Empedocles, Marcus Aureiius, Ter
tullian. Quintilian and Dioscorides, as
antighost authorities. He concluoeo
that the tenant and his family were
suffering from nightmare, and sug-
gested that they should consult pny-
stefan and not solicitor; or, granting
that the house was haunted, that they
should appeal to the clergy, and not
to the law. Naturally the tenants ad-
vocate did not appreciate his adver-
sary's sense of humor, and told MIN
so. He, too, called upon the an
clients for assistance, citing Pliny, Plu-
tarch, Suetonius, Ovid, the fathers
and whom else do you suppose? why
none other than the self-same Plato
whom his adversary had quoted so
glibly to the contrary. Obviously that
philosophic one, like many of our
courts, either overlooked, or found
good reason for overruling, former
decision; or else he was an equitable
soul and wished to satisfy both par
ties! Anyway, however, 1t seems
that the lower court was reversed, and
the poor tenant, of course, had to en-
dure his unwelcome cotenant, or pay
the full terms rent and vacate.
