Bedraggled Homing Pigeon Carried Message Safely From North Sea. Somewhere on the northeast coast | of England, night was approaching | under a drizzly gist, and a raw wind whipped land and sea around the | lonely group of buildings of a royal | air force pigeon station. [t was tea- time, and a welcome hour to the lit- | tle group of bronzed men in British | uniform who were chatting and laughing around the small fire in the messroom.' One of them was telling a story of a Portuguese commander | +who had mistaken. a. gift of two bas: kets of British "homing pigeons fo "an addition to the food supply, and | who, in his letter of thanks to the British commander, had naively re- marked that he and his staff had "enjoyed them very much indeed." | But the laugh which greeted his | story was cut in two by a sound which caused every man in the room | to pause and listen--it was the sharp | insistent call of an electric bell which | rings automatically when a homing pigeon enters the trap. A non-com~ missioned officer set down his cup of tea untasted, arose and opened the door leading to the pigeon loft. From a corner where it was huddled he lifted a light blue pigeon, very wet and bedraggled, skillfully re- moved a small aluminum cylinder from its right leg, slipped the bird inté a pigeon pasket, and carried it into the messroom. '"'Ere!' he called, "set the blarsted pigeon on the 'arth till it dries art," and before the order could be obeyed a roll of tissue paper, smoothed it out flat, and was reading aloud: "Machine Wrecked and breaking | up fifteen miles southeast of Rocky Point; send boat." Two men had already reached for theri oilskins and were passing out o! the door into the fog. Another minute' and those sipping their tea heard the staccato "put-put-put" of a motor boat dying away in the gen- eral direction of Rocky Point. Darkness had fallen on the North Sea, and four men, wet and chilled, still hung to a wrecked seaplame. They had little hope that their mes- sage had been delivered, or, it it had that help would come in time to save them. The wind had risen, and now portion of the wreck, which sank lower and lower in the water. At last there came a sound--the sweet- est music they had ever heard--the siren of a motor boat. Again and agaln it sounded, each time nearer; then the heartened men arose and sent up a wild shout in answer, and a hissing bow shot toward them from the darkness. On top of a little basket by the fire In the messroom a modest blue pigeon sat quietly preening its damp feathers. And the next morning the British papers reported: "Seaplane N-64 lost in the North Sea, fifteen miles southeast of Rocky Point. All the crew saved." Steering Vessels by Wireless. Mist and fog will soon have no terrors for airmen. There should be no terrors now, said an official of the Air Ministry, as compasses have been so perfected that they adapt themselves immediately "to their strange and trying position. But even without compasses pilots will. be able to make a bee-line for their objective. The other day a pilot and an observer started from the Biggin Hill airdrome in a "bus" fit- ted with wireless telephony. They had, if possible, to pick up a de- stroyer at some unknown point off the south coast of England, the de- stroyer also using wireless. Steering purely by wireless, the airplane went in an absolutely straight line in the direction of the destroyer, which was some twenty miies off Brighton. , How is the manner of steering worked? By taking angle bearings, the method used in locating German submarines during the war. By not ing the direction of their wireless messages to different points, our wireless experts were able to find the exact position of the submarines. The wireless methods which prov- ed so effective in war will soon be used to steer our seaplanes from their new port near Sheerness, or from the Thames between Westmins- ter and Battersea, to different points of Europe. When the International Air Convention comes into effect the trails will also be blazed by means of code signals. Already the names of towns figure in great capitals on the roofs of railway stations in Kent and Sussex. Mr. Balfour. Mr. Balfour is a, Scottish philoso- pher who by chance of circumstances became a statesman. To many he is an enigma. "What a riddle!" a French writer exclaimed after a study of his character and tempera- ment. In his new book, "Mr. Bal- four," Mr. F. T. Raymond says-- "Five hundred years hence it will probably not matter very much in history that Mr. Balfour was Prime Minister of Britain, but as long as the proper study of mankind is man he will be something of a pussle to all who take interest in human per- sonality." Mr. Balfour's mentality is largely that of the metaphysician and as such is probably best understood and appreciated by the Scottish mind. "Floating" Tower of London. It is stated that the Tower of Lon- don moves four times daily, as the tides in the Thames ebb and flow. According to Mr. J. Landfear Lucas, nounced in the part nearest the river, made the place unsuitable for certain recent demonstrations under a Gov- ernment Department. It seems that the movement is due to the fact that many tons of water penetrate under the foundation with the rising tides, and pass out with the receding tides. While the volume of wa'er is under the building, and gradually increas- ing as the tide comes in, .it has the effect of moving upwards the whole mass of the Tower. There are 200 species of moss found in the British Isles. ! This is a hard old world. When a man gets so full that he gets lock- ed up, his friends have to bail him out. A husband often wishes his wife would get 50 hoarse that she'd have to cance} some of her speaking dates. No, Clarice. The bare-headed man isn't any more of a Brute than the rest of them. he had drawn from the little cylinder © and then the waves tore away some | the movement, which is most pro- H WHIG.
