psrty; the balloons and parachutes
being timed to make the drop at a
certain distance. If the above
methods cannot be employed, per-
haps a dog can do the work.
In conclusion it might be we'll to
mention the part the homing pi-
geon played in the Liberty Day
celebration in France. An enor-
nous parade, after marching
through the principal streets of
Paris, marched to one of the large
parks where platforms had been
>rected. Here the President and
other notable men made speeches.
Copies were made and sent to all
parts of France, carried by two
thousand homing pigeons which
were liberated at one time. Surely
that must have been a sight
worth seeing.

Button, Button, Who Makes the
Button?

Buttons seem very unimportant
things, but in reality they play a
big part in commerce, and enor-
nous fortunes have been made out
of their manufacture.
Buttons are made from almost
every conceivable substance. They
are made from animals, vegetables,
minerals, and from substances
varying from potatoes to pearls.
The most successful kind ever
invented were those of the cloth
covered variety provided with a
canvas tuft, in place of a metal
shank. these possibly being fol-
lowed by the three-fold linen but
ton.
Those made of vegetable ivory
are also very popular. They are
made from the corozo nut yielded
by a palm-like plant. The plant
grows in South America, rising 80
to 40 feet in height, and bearing
fruit as large as a mans head: the
fruit contains numerous nuts almost
as large as a hens egg. The ker-
nels of the nuts when properly
ripened are extremely hard, and
resemble ivory.
The COW yields a large number
of buttons, chiefly from it's bones,
though the hoofs, horns, etc., are
pressed into use. The we'll known
horn buttons are really made from
hoof, the material being pressed in
hot dies.
There are large numbers of but
tons made from porcelain, the plas-
tic clay being pressed into moulds,
and then baked. Many are made
from glass of various kinds, the
simplest being made by pinching

which passes over the neck, under
the wing and around the legs. and
is worn permanently. After it has
been on a few hours it settles under
the feathers and is very hard to
detect. So close to the body does
it fit that a person might even take
the bird in the hands and not be-
come aware of the harness.
The messages are rolled and put
in a small tube, which is placed in
the harness under the body and
between the legs of the bird. The
feathers cover it completely and it
cannot be seen when the bird is
standing still, nor even when
flying.
The main coop is built on a
motor truck or wagon. If several
birds are to 60 with advance troops
or reconnoiter parties, they are
carried in wicker baskets mounted
on the backs of horses or dogs. If
single birds are desired, they are
carried in a small, wire cage which
can be hooked on a soldiers belt,
either in front or in back, and do
not impede his movements. They
are also carried by dogs; one cage
on each side fastened to saddle.
These cages are the ingenious
invention of a Belgian, who has
spent many years in raising and
training pigeons and dogs. The
cage not only holds the pigeon but
pencil and pad under waterproof
cover which can be used to write
upon. An opening is provided at
one end through which the bird
can thrust it's head for food and
drink. So compact is the cage
that the message can be put in the
tube, the tube in the harness and
the bird released without taking it
in the hand. The idea IS to liber-
ate the bird without injury or the
loss of wing or tail feathers, which
would impede its flight.
If the advance party gets into
trouble or wishes to send back in
formation, or for help, the pigeon
offers the safest and swiftest way.
If the shell fire is very heavy, two
birds are sent carrying the same
message. Then if one bird gets
hit accidently by shrapnel or a
stray bullet, the other may reach
it's destination.
If the advance party has no
birds, there are several ways in
which they can be supplied. Small
balloons and parachutes. which
support the small cage, can be
dropped from airplanes or kites.
If the wind conditions are right,
they can be foated to the stranded

An Oasis of Ice in the Desert
Chautauqua Paper, by Mr.. r.. III.

After trip through the State
of Oregon, some of the wonders of
this playground of the Gods"
would not easily be forgotten. A
few of tire sublime works of the
Creator, as seen by the casual trav-
eler, would be:
The majestic Multonomab Falls;
the picturesque Deschutes River
with it's many rapids, falls and
deep canyons; the Cascade Range
with it's lofty snow.clad peaks and
beautiful valleys; great forests of
mighty frs and pines; vast areas of
plains covered with sagebrush; nu-
merous hot-springs; great rock
formations; buttes of cooled lava
resembling huge masses of melted
glass. All of these combining to
make one wonder at the greatness
of the Creators handiwork.
Amid this array of grandeur lies
one of the most curious of natures
freaks.
In the middle central part of the
state, there is considerable area
of land called the High Desert"
One may go for miles through
fields of sagebrush and scrubby
juniper trees with no evidence of
life except the jackrabbit or
skulking coyote. A fine. gray
lava dust fills the air at each little
puff of the breeze, and on hot
summer day with the temperature
around 1O4 F., a traveller finding
himself on the desert, without a
water bag, would make a poor
temperance advocate. The occa-
sionaI glimpse of snow-clad noun
tain top, a hundred miles away,
only aggravates the thirst and
makes the heat more intense.
Suppose, after hot, dusty trip
over the desert. some twenty-six
miles from the town of Bend, we
come to forest of Oregon pines,
standing tall and stately in their
splendor; rearing tn cir great
limbs and branches, like mighty
ladders to the clear sky above,
from a soil that fails to nourish the
most persistent of weeds. Nothing
but great carpet of dry needles
lies beneath these trees. One listens
in vain for the notes of a bird and
only a faint whispering, from
above, of gently rubbing needles,
will greet you. The sound of your
voice seems like a sacrilege in the
great stiffness. Upon entering the

I FIRST we look forward:
at last we look backward.
In the closing days of
tbo uoor +bo ,..ooo

N9%4(GN In the closing days of
lAggy the year-the green
springtime, the bright summer,
the rich autumn-with all their
many and varied experiences. And
we think of them as gone. Like
the shadows of the evening they
have rolled themselves together in
bloom, and they are not.
We think somewhat of our sue
cesses, but mostly of our failures.
Why is it that these are stronger
in our recollection than those, we
cannot tell. But it is we'll that it
is so.
Mistakes and blunders- and even
sins-may not be in vain. That is,
we may profit by them all, if we
are wise. The world takes advan-
tage of adversely as we'll as of
prosperity. Watt, the mechanical
engineer, declared that what the
engineering world most needed
was a record of it's failures. What
we need is a book of blots," he
said.
When Sir Humphrey Davy was
once shown an experiment that
was remarkable for it's dexterous
manipulation he said, Il thank
God that l was not made a dex-
terious manipulation, for the most
of my discoveries have been sug-
gested to me by my failures"
Another great scientist said that
when he had the most difficulty in
his work, and met what seemed to
be an obstacle that he could not
get over, he came to feel that he
was just on the brink of an impor-
tant discovery.
There is a sort of stimulous in
difficulties that evoke more than
usual strength. Never is a youth
so strong as when in the stress of
wrestling he finds it needful to put
forth the strongest efforts in order
to throw his antagonist.
There is much to be learned, also,
from our disappointments and mis-
fortunes. Where is the boy or
girl that never had an untoward
experience?
Where is he who always got
easily and surely just what he
wanted!
When you find such a character
you will find some one who is not
worth much. He will be both ig-
norant and weak.
The famous naturalist, Audubon,
pursued many of his fascinating
studies in the Ohio valley. For
several years he made his home in
Henderson, Kentucky, whence he
went forth to study the birds in
their native haunts. With rare
skill he sketched them in colors,
filing large portfolios with the
finest pictures of these.
After some time he found it
necessary to make visit to Phila-
delphia.
He left his cherished drawings
behind. but he took the precaution
of packing them in stout wooden
box and left this with a relative, to
whom he explained their value and
urged their prOtectlOn against IN
jury.
He was gone several months.

knawed their way into it and
reared a young family in the paper
which they had torn to pieces.
Said Audubon: ''The burning
heat which rushed through my
brain was too great to be endured
without affecting my whole nervous
system. I slept for several nights
and the days past like days of OBJ
livion until the animal powers

or fifty miles. lime should be
kept on these longer flights so as
to get line on the different birds.
Some are like sprinters, good for
short. fast flights, while others are
like marathon runners, good for
long distances. Birds a year old
are used in races up to $50 miles,
while those over year are flown
from $50 to 900 or more miles.
When race is held by members
of the Federation of Pigeon Fan
ciers, the birds are shipped to the
starting point, but before being
released a split band is squeezed
around the leg of each. The own
er of the bird does not know, until
the bird arrives home, what the
number on this band will be, nor
can he tell what time was made.
Each member has a sort of a
clock. When his bird arrives
home he must get the split band,
mentioned above, straighten it out
and push it into the clock which
records the time. That is why the
bird must be trained to 60 in and
get the peas and kaffir corn.
Means must also be provided to
keep it in after it once enters the
loft. This is done by bending a
piece of heavy wire in the shape
of a square, This is inverted and
with two small staples to act as
hinges, is placed over the pigeon
entry 50 that the two ends butt up
against the bottom in such man
ner, that they can be swung in
ward but not outward.
The bird on entering the coop
sticks his head between the bars
and walks inward. This causes
the bars to raise inward and up
ward. As soon as the bird is in
side, the bars drop back into place
and the bird is prisoner.
Many contrivances have been
rugged up to ring bells in case the
bird gets in without being seen.
The most simple way is to have
the perch on the inside of the en-
try hinged on one end aud the 9TH
er end resting on a push button.
The bird on going in the coop
must walk on this perch and push
the button.
1t is then that the owner goes
after the split band to stop his
clock. He must then take the
clock to the headquarters of the
Federation, where it is opened by
the man in charge. By glancing
at the number on the band and
then at his list to see what time
the bird wearing that band was
liberated and at the small clock, it
is easy to compute the time made
and tell who won. In this way
there is no chance for any crooked
work to be done. Otherwise a
dishonest man might say his bird
arrived half hour or so before it
really did.
To give some idea as to how fast
these homers can fly, one bird made
500 miles in a little more than ten
hours. Shorter races are some
time faster. The average speed is
from 80 to 80 miles an hour for
many hours of continuous fight.
The speed, of course, depends up.
on the birds breeding, its training,
and the distance it flies and wind
conditions.
In times of war, homing pigeons
are used as messengers. In the
war just ended they have been used
extensively, and have served in all
the large wars of the past. It is
said that even the Romans used
them to carry messages. Being
so small and so fast. they offer a
poor target to even an expert rifle
man and can therefore get through
where neither man nor dog could
live. The pigeons used for war
work must have special training
