Pigeon Flies With Locomotive.

The following story Of pigeon
which pilots trains between More
caInbe and Hlllfeld comes from Leeds.
England. Flying quite near the chim-
ney stack on the wlndward side TO
avoid the smoke, this intelligent
winged escort rises when the train ap-
proaches bridge, and then files over;
II has never been known to go under
the bridge When the train stops ut
station, the bird circles around and
alIghts near the engine; It takes wing
again as soon as the conductor blows
his whistle. More or less tame. the
pigeon Is unresponsive TO tempting
food offered by passengers or railway
officials. II never falls to return home
at night.
