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.

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

Writing on the effect Of ghosts on
leaseholds, William W. Ackerly In
Case and Comment tells of case be-
fore the parliament of Paris less than
four centuries ago. 1t appeared that
a house was let in the suburbs OF
Tours, and that the tenant, being
promptly disturbed by noise and
routing of invisible spirits which suf-
fered neither himself nor his family
to sleep O. nights" as promptly went
to law. The lower court broke the
lease, the hauntings being considered
insupportable nuisances. But this he
did without letters royal, and the les
sors appealed on the formal point.
Then the ghost was In for it. The
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 Aurelius, Ter
tullian, Quintilian and Dioscorides, as
antighost authorities. He concluded
that the tenant and his family were
suffering from nightmare, and sug-
gested that they should consult ply
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 him
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 selfsame Plato
whom his adversary had quoted so
glioly to the contrary. Obviously that
ptilosophic 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, it 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.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 2l, 1915

The United States surpasses any 9TH
er country in the world in the value OF
its crops and the product of its mines,
Despite the great agricultural and m
dustrial development of the country II
still is rich in virgin soil and hidden
wealth.
A statement recently prepared by
the National Geographic Society takes
some account of the country's undevel'
oped resources. Particular reference
is made to Alaska, which is described
as 'the greatest Of our unexpected
treasure troves," and as "the largest
body Of unused and neglected land in
the United States
The masses OF the American people
know very little about Alaska. The
United States has owned it for nearly
fifty years. 1t was bought for song
from Russia. The United States PAID
1920, 600 for it, and Russia was pleas
ed with the bargain, while good many
citizens of this country felt that Uncle
Sam had bought a gold brick. Nobody
has paid much attention to Alaska.
Lots OF people hardly knew it was
there up to the time Of the gold dis
coveries in the northwestern territory.
Since that time il has been discussed
at intervals. 1t is one.ffth as large rs
the rest of the United States, but ii
has fewer than 10000 white inhabi-
tants, less than 1000 miles Of public
road and only few small stretches Of
railroad.
1t is worth while to repeat some OF
the things the National Geographic
Society has to say about this neglected
empire Its mines, fisheries and fuls
alone have added to our wealth the
grand sum OF 5000 600; individual
fortunes have been made in that cOuu-
try larger than the price paid 10 Rus
STA for the whole territory; It's waters
are teeming rich with skins and fish.
how rich It's lands are in gold and cop
per, coal and iron, silver and zinc no
one knows but the prospector has gone
far enough to tell US that no other sec
tion of our land to-day makes 50 rich a
mineral promise; in agriculture the
Government itself has demonstrated
that Alaska will produce in abundance
all that can be raised In the ScandIna-
Wan countries, the hardy cereals and
vegetables, the meats and the berries
of which 100000 people live in Nor
way, Sweden and Finland; The town Of
Sitka has cooler summers and warmer
winters than Washington; 1t has been
estimated that there are 10000. OOJ
acres OF land that viii make homes for
people as sturdy as those Of New Eng
land.
Lastly, the Geographic Society maxi
es the important statement that ~ las

turally." These things ought to be in
teresting to many Americans Of mi.
gratory or yenturesome turn Of mind
The Government is preparing to build
railroad in Alaska, which is the FIRST
actually great step toward that cOun
try's development. The people Of thc
United States will hear great dea
more about this big territorial posses
sion in future than they have heard il
the past.
