An Expert Reports on the
Use of Carrier Pigeon.
How to Get Effective Service From
Ship to Shore Sea-Bred Birds.
Experiments.
Captain Jclin R. Banlett, U. S. N.,
retired, chief of the coast signal ser
vice during the war with Spain, has
reported to the department on the
value of carrier pigeons for signalling
purposes. The Baltimore Sun sum
marizes the report as follows:
That experiments be made for the
purpose of training homing pigeons in
connection with coast signalling, for
the reason that they offer a solution of
the problem of communication with
vessels in the off-shore patrol fleet.
These vessels would most probably
operate in districts having established
bases, and at such distance from the
coast and from the inshore patrol that
visual signaling would be impossible.
A homing pigeon service cannot be
improvised and be of any real value.
The birds must be systematically and
patiently trained for a year or two, not
only to equip the cotes with trained
carriers for that .locality, but to furnish
a stock of seabred breeders. Experi
mental cotes should be located tit the
bases of naval coast defense districts,
a small vessel provided with a carrier
pigeon outfit, and an officer detailed
to develop this means of communica
tion and superintend the systematic
training of the birds. Unless that is
done with intelligence for at least a
year it would be useless to rely upon it
at all. Such a system could be econo
mically inaugurated and could be
maintained at a comparatively slight
cost. A simple routine of drills, exer
cises and reports based upon our recent
experiences could be readily put into
operation and small rewards or appro
priate rating would stimulate profici
ency. In times of peace such service
would be of constant convenience to
this department and to the maritime
interests of the country, and the con
stant practice would prepare the men
for the emergencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact that
every other maritime nation !has such
a system, generally much more elabor
ate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized and operated under its naval
or maritime department.
LEAP YEAR.
Not 1900 There Will Be None Be
fore 1904.
The familiar rule that leap year is
every calendar year with a number di
visible by four will be broken in 1900,
which fact need not be regarded as an
indication that even then it will be
time for a change. This rule of the al
manac may account for the proverbial
activity of the new woman at the close
of every century. Then there is no leap
year for eight years. February, 1903,
will have but twenty-eight days, the
extra day not appearing from 1S96 to
1904. Centenary years are not leap
years. That year will be broken in the
leap year 2000, when the interruption
may be regarded as an indication that
it is time for a change. Centenary
years divisible by 400 are leap years,
consequently there were twenty-nine
days in February, 1C00, and the same
number of days will be given to Feb
ruary, 2000, and again to 2400. The ob
ject of this rule is to make the calen
dar rear coincide with the solar year.
THE TREATY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. The first
step no unimportant one toward the
ratification of the treaty of peace con
cluded with Spain by the Paris Com
missioners 'has already been taken. To
day the members of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, to whose
consideration it was referred when
first submitted by the President, auth
orized Senator Davis to report the
treaty, without amendment, to the Sen
ate, with a recommendation that it be
ratified.

3IENELIK AND HIS GENERALS.
In her march across Africa, England may have to reckon -with Menelik, negus of
Abyssinia. Menelik has always been opposed to allowing his country to be made a
thoroughfare for the armies and commerce of other nations. It is, however, a niistako
to put him down as an unenlightened barbarian. On the contrary he has remarkable
abilities and is a learned man. He has done much during his reign, which began in
!&'., iu retrieving Abyssinia from its erstwhile state of savagery.
HARD PUDDING.
Neat Stcry of Camp Life from an Eng
lish Source.
Some time ago, writes a volunteer in
a London weekly, I spent a week with
a garrison battery in a South Coast
fort. On the last day the sergeants sat
down to an exceptionally fine dinner,
the crowning glory of which was a
large plum pudding. I had made the
pudding two days before, had it boiled,
and now, reheated, it made its appear
ance amid the welcome shouts of my
brother warriors, and I naturally felt
a bit proud of it, for I hadn't been a
ship's cook for nothing.
"Seems mighty hard," remarked the
sergeant major, as he vainly tried to
stick his fork into it. "Have you
boiled us a cannon ball, Browney?"
"Or the regimental foot ball?" asked
another.
"Where did you get the flour from?"
questioned Sergeant Smith.
"Where from?" I retorted. "From
store No. 5, of course."
"The deuce you did!" roared the
quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang
you. you've made the pudding with
Portland cement!"
And o it proved. The pudding is
now preserved in the battery museum.
CABLE IN WAR.
Comdr. C. H. Stockton discusses in
the Proceedings of the Naval Institute
the subject of "Submarine Telegraph
Cables in Time of War." The status
of the ocean cable in war time played
a part in only four of the modern wars,
the Franco-German war, two wars in
Chile and our own late conflict. In
these contests cables were cut so that
pratice chimes with the theory of their
status wrhich Comdr. Stockton states
as follows: "There can be little doubt
as to the right of a belligerent to cut,
destroy or interfere with a submarine
telegraph cable or terminal station, no
matter by whom owned, in the terri
tory, land or water of the enemy,
whenever military necessity or con
venience requires it." The refusal of
the Manila-Hong Kong Cable Company
to allow Admiral Dewey to use the cut
cable by means of instruments on one
of his ships is justified, as that would
have placed the cable company in the
position of aiding one side at the pos
sible expense of the other.
SHIPPING SUBSIDY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Prominent
representatives of American shipping
interests were heard to-day by the
House Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries relative to the bill in
troduced in the Senate by Mr. Hanna
and in the House by Mr. Payne, "to
promote the commerce and increase
the foreign trade of the United States
and to provide auxiliary cruisers,
transports and seamen for Government
use when necessary."
The main feature of the measure is a
graded subsidy to American ships bas
ed on tonnage and services. Among
those present were ex-Senator Ed
munds of Vermont, who appeared for
the shipping interests; President C. A.
Griseom of the Internation Navigation
Company, Commissioner of Navigation
Chamberlain, Edward R. Sherwood,
secretary of the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange. Arthur Sewall of Maine and
President Hyde of the Bath Iron
Works.
EARTH TO EXPLODE.
LONDON. Jan. 1 The eminent as
tronomer, Sir Robert Ball, this week
has given the public the benefit of his
studies in a series of lectures on the
moon in its relation to the earth and
how the world will come to an end.
Away down in the vista of the past,
he says, the earth traveled so fast that
a smaller portion flew away and be
came the moon. He has arrived at the
conclusion that water will get down
through cracks in the bottom of the
sea to the centre, of the earth and
cause a volcanic eruption that will end
everything.
