WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-(PI-
United States army carrier pigeons
soon will fly with two kinds of notes
official and musical.
To protect their winged messen-
gers from hawks the war depart
ment proposes to attach whistles to
its military flock of 1881 birds.
Whistles for pigeons may be an ex-
pertinent in the United States, but
their use is a custom time-honored
among the Chinese. Music in the
air has for centuries been one of
the many novelties of life in Peiping
formerly Peking). !.
A visitor may be approaching an old
Peiping temple when suddenly a
flock Of pigeons wheels off with a
whir Of wings and a medley Of sweet
notes. The music floated on the
wind BY a flock of Chinese pigeons
sounds like the strumming of many
harps in the heavens. !.
Very light whistles are attached
TO the tails Of the birds Don after
they leave the nest. Fine copper wire
is used Two kinds Of pigeon whistles
are used: one consists Of bamboo
tubes placed side by side; the other
CONSISTS OF IQpCS dNN1NAGA
gourd. The former may have two,
three or five tubes. The later gourd
sometimes carries as high as
Is tubes, each with a different note,
thus converting a modest, shy pigeon
into a flying calliope:
In every case the pigeon pipes are
heavily lacquered to prevent wealth
ering and probably to decorate the
birds, because the whistles are paint
ed yellow, brown, red or black:
The care which the Chinese lavish
their pigeon whistles suggests
that fear of hawk attacks on the
birds Is only half the story. II pro-
lection alone was the object, n
whistle ought to do the Job. But the
Chinese like their aerial music. SO
the hawks provide a happy excuse
for the elaborate, brilliant pipes on
Peiping pigeons.
