for his propensity for getting into per-
sonal difficulties by virtue Of a care

agile pair Of legs for getting out Of

Messages They Garry Are Packed In
Small Goose Quilts.
The general notion that all that has
to be done in forwarding a dispatch by
pigeons is to catch the bird, tie a let
ter to it's leg and then liberate it is
wrong, as the method Of attaching the
message is of great Importance.
Prior to the siege of Paris the meth
Cd of affiXing the message to the bird
had not received that attention which
it demanded, and consequently many
dispatches were lost in transit.
At first the message was merely
rolled up tightly, WaXed over to pro-
tect it from the weather and then at
tached to a feather in the birds tail.
But it was soon found that the Irvine
which kept the missive in place cut or
damaged the paper, and therefore in
order to prevent it from being pecked
by the pigeon and from being injured
b. wet the dispatch was inserted in a
small goose quill two inches in length
The quill was then pierced close to
each end with a redhot bodkin, so as
not to split it, and in the holes waXed
silk threads were inserted to affiX it to
the strongest tail feather. By attach
ing the message to this part Of the
birds body it's flight was not in any
way interfered with,-Lone Scout.
