THIS BIRD KNOWS HOME,
THOUGH GONE TWO YEARS

Laddie Boy, a blue-checker cock
pigeon belonging to H.. G. Hile and
registered as A L 2l-l56 w r. p, is
home again, but he has been nearly
two years getting here. On June 2,
1923, Laddie Boy was among sew
eral pigeons sent bv HiIe to Ogle-
thorpe. Ga, for liberation for
660-miie race, held under the aus
pices OF the District of Columbia
Racing Pigeon Club. He failed to
find his home after the race, but
yesterday, to the amazement of his
owner. Laddie Boy was discovered
i'm the Hiie loft.
Examination revealed that half
of the pigeons flight feathers on
one wing had been cut. showing
that Laddie Boy had been caught
and held prisoner for nearly two
years. But when the bird escaped
its unerring, hOming instinct
brought II back to Washington.

Helps Other Sports.
This plan also permits men who spe-
ciaiize in base ball and track, as well
as foot ball to work with the grid
iron squad, and thus not only keep in
touch with the game, but fit them
selves for the regular Spring sports.
Colleges that went in for practice
at the usual time were handicapped
because of the fact that in most
Southern colleges the base ball team
works on the field that contains the
cridirons, and in great many in
stances foot ball coaches are also
instructors in track or base ball.
BY setting Spring practice ahead
these drawbacks can be ohviated, and
no doubt the example of Tech and
Georgia will be followed generally
next year.
Few Coaching Changes
Very few coaching changes are
noted in Dixie. Dave Morev, the old
Dartmouth player, who has been
coaching with success at Middlebury,
in New England. will be at the helm
at Auburn this year. and Jimmy De
hart. formerly of Pittsburgh, will
leave Washington and Lee to take
over the athletic dictatorship at Duke
University, in North Carolina, after
next Fall.
Georgia Tech has been making fine
progress in completing its stadium at
Grant Field this Spring, and when the
foot ball season comes around will be
able TO seat 10000 spectators in the
concrete section, with accommodations
for an additional 5000 in temporary
stands. The full capacity of the field
will be utilized in all probability at
the NOtre Dame, Georgia and Auburn
games.

Second, that they are set apart for

Third, that the national interest

Hardy Redwood

Nature has endowed the giant red
woods with a natural \ preservation
which protects the timber against de-
cay and rot indefinitely for centuries,
in fact after the trees have fallen or
been cut down. Trees known to have
been blown over in the woods long be-
fore the discovery of America, and
which have lain exposed to the ele-
ments ever since, have been found to
be in splendid condition and capable of
use as commercial timber.
One particular instance is recorded
where a fallen tree was found under
meath another big redwood that had
grown astraddle the uprooted giant,
but when the standing tree was cut its
rings showed it to be nearly 1000
years old.
This meant that the uprooted tree
had been down for nearly 1000 years.
The rings of the fallen tree showed it
to be about 600 years old when it fell,
yet the log was sound and healthy

Madagascar Once Home
of Enormous Reptiles

Ii is a singular fact that, barring the
wild cattle and the crocodiles, the
great African island (Madagascar) is
wholly destitute of big game. Yet it
teens with animal life in its lesser
forms, including such curious animals
as the aye-aye, one of the most re-
markable creatures known; 80 vari-
cites of lemurs; ferocious member
Of the ciyet family, which looks like
an enormous weasel; and wild dog
which appears to be cross between
q coyote, a jackal and dingo.
But Madagascar has not always
lacked large animals, as its fossil re-
mains attest, for in ages past it was
the habitat of enormous terrestrial
lizards so feet in length, and Of the
great wingless bird, the aepyornis,
twice the size of an ostrich.
The eggs of the aepyornls, some of
which are 40 inches in circumference,
are still frequently found in the neigh
bOrhood of Fort Dauphin, at the south
ern end of the island, where the ma
tiyes use them for carrying water.-E.

Magazine.
