1 HOW THEY ARE CARRIED. „
In this way it was possible to send
mestiages to the stationary cotes
wheuce the birds had been taken.
These honsee on. wheels, honer. er, could
ouly aecortipapy large bodies of cav-
alry, whereas it was far more desir-
able that some ateans should be dis-
covered of eafely transmitting mes-
sages from small bodies or soldiers t
who might be reconnoitring or oth-
erwise employed a good distance ahead ;
of the main army. It was clear that :
the only way of achieving this object t
was by training pigeons to acconmeny '
eoldiers on horseback, and that this
could only be done by constructing
cages in which the birds would not.
feel fatigued after a long ride. Many
styles of cages-soixte of wicker, oth-
ers of canvas and wood, -were tried,
and some answered the purpose ad.-
mirably, the reault being that the
birds were soon taught to fly from
their temporary horo.es on the horses'
backs to the movable clove cote which
was with the main army many miles
away. The transmission of mes-
sages from outlying posts to the main
army was thus greatly facilitated.

able mova.ble dove cote, but it was
very difficult to fashion a cage in
which a couple of pigeons would feel

like these cannot bear to be jolted,
