Earlier Air Malls.

Letter in London Dany Mail.
Indeed, there is little new under the
sun An announcement appeared in the
Daily Mail about photographing business
letters very small so as to reduce their
weight for dispatch by air mail across
thu Atlantic. Three hundred tons of let
tiers so treated would weigh, 1t is said,
only about six tons.
Only a few days before reading that
notice, / had been looking over the ac-
count Of how the air malls were sent
into Paris during the siege of 1870. They
were carried by pigeons, and the letters
were photographed very small, so that
as man. as possible could be sent on
one bird. .t..
The photographs were on thin little
films of collodion, each hlm holding $500
messages. A pigeon could easily carry q
dozen of these light films. or 10000 mes
sages. On February 3, 1871, one arrived in
Paris carrying 10000, none the worse for
it's flight. .~ .-.-
When the birds arrived the films were
taken off them; the messages were en-
larged in q magic lantern, which threw
the images on a screen, and they were
then copied In manuscript and sent to
their destinations.
astray a number of copies of each mes
sage was sent on different birds. the
average number being about 20, but It
varied from two to 40, according to the
weather conditions and the reliability Of
the messenger. Twenty words was tho
limit for each message.

History at Fayai.

From the New York Times.
Now that Fayal, Azores, is brought to
our notice through the ~courageou under
taking by American naval officers Of o
mind that 1t was in the harbor OF Horta
Fayal, that one OF the outstanding ex.
ploits of the war of 1912 was performed
when Capt. Samuel Chester Reid, OF the
privateer brig General Armstrong of GAG
tons, beat off a boat attack by the Brit
ish Plantagenet, "A; Rota, 3S. and Carna.
ton, Is. The result Of this expedition,
ordered by Capt. Robert Lloyd-who was
on his way to reinforce Admiral Sir The
odore Cochrane's fleet at Jamaica, and
WING must have imagined that the little
privateer would be easy prey-was a loss
to the British of not less han 100 killed
and 100 wounded, While the Americans
sustained a-loss OF two killed n seven
wounded.
The first attack. by three barges of this
Carnation, was repulsed with a loss to
the enemy OF eight to 10 men, whereupon
the P~lantagenet and the frigate Rota
manned 16 barges with about 450 men,
and Reid fired into them as they divided
into four divisions. The first lieutenant
OF the Carnation was killed at the first
hre, and as the boats stood on the Ameri.
cans poured shot into them from three
long IS and the famous Long Ton AZ,
which can be seen at this day in the
Washington navy yard. Every attempt
to board the Armstrong was repulsed,
Reid himself having a hand to hand en-
counter on the deck of his ship with a
brave British officer. Reid, hopelessly
outnumbered, was forced to scuttie the
brig and abandon her, and the British
commander completed her destruction
by setting fire to her. The Americans
retreated to the shore in good order and
prepared for another attack, but nc fur
ther fighting took place.

Proud Of His profession"

Burglars who served in the army
are going back to their old trade" said
a London police. official the other day.
'These men deliberately elect to live
by stealing because they find it adven-
turous. 1t was with the same spirit
that they joined the army. At least
one convicted burglar won the Victoria
cross" Confirmation of this charac-
teristic Is provided by a captain in a
famous fighting regiment, who declares
that n Of the bravest men in his
company, n corporal with a D.C.M. and
other honors, declared himself a pro-
fessional thief. "His one regret" re-
marked the officer, twas that the re-
cruiting authorities would not let him
describe his occupation on his attesta.
