Ru: sia has long established miltary Pigeon lofts in fortifled Manchurian | towns. By means of birds messagi have been enrried out of beleagured Port Arthur. The Japs, who are far-secing in these matters, some five years ago established thelr military and naval lofts, and by repeated experiments since then they have organized a system calculated to| bring forth the highest qualities of the pigeons, with which their lofts were | stocked. Many centuries before the messenger’ found its way into civiliza- tion a bird known as the Oriental Pigeon was used in Eastern Asia, and descendants of this race are still to be met with in China, This Orfental pigeon ‘was soon abandoned, however, in favor of English racing pigeons, which can| outfy the dangerous hawks. }rom| these racers the Japanese war pigeons have been bred.

Fighting in @ land other than thelr own, there has been no possibility for them to have established lafts of old trained pigeons in Corea or Manchurtu, this being a matter of vears; resource has, therefore, been had to young birds | from three to six months old. At the age of two months young pigeons are strong on the wing, and at three months old are capable of carrying messages for distances up to one hundred miles or thereabouts. With an army on the march the use of pigeons ag mesnengers hes so tar proved a failure, all experiments to get these binds to return to a loft con- tinually on the move having been votd “Birth in High Buildings Produces Small Heads.” —DISCOVERY OF A WISE-EYED SCIENTIST. \CIENTISTS have recently startled the country with the discovery that people born in, tall buildings have small heads, and the saying w! now have to be changed to “The high- er, the smaiier.” = * ‘With New Yorkers rapidly becoming a race of latter day cliff dwellers in the lofty ranges of Harlem flats, fears can well be entertained for the future of the New York head. for while there 1s practically no limit to the height to which apartment-houses will soon climb, these ts a Imit to the size to which the local head can shrink with- out beooming entirely obliternted.
