After wads it was thought best to photograph on Collodion, a preparation' of gun -co ttoi and, ether. This is so light that one bird has been known to carry a doze, flimis, as the sheets are, called, wit twenty-five messages photographed o each sheet. At firSt-the paper was folded au secured to the middle*feather of the tai by a wire. When collodion. came int use l a new method was adopted: collodion was rolled and inserted int the quill of a loose tail feather, as nea the color of the bird as possible. These pigeons fly great distances. - I 1862 from St. Sebastian, Spain,ts Liege a bird covered the distance 600 'miles in one day. In 1885 a bird' was set a liberty at Fall River, Massachusetts and flew to Montgomery, Alabama, distance of 1,040 miles, in 39 days This is said to be the grentest diStane ever covered by a homing; pigeon. Th speed of the homing -pigeon is as remark able as the diatance it fiy. In 188 a bird owned by a gentleman in iBrook lyn flew a distance of 20q miles!at th average rate of 1,384 yards per minute and a bird owned in Antwerp flew distance of 99i miles at the rate of mile in 48 seconds, much faster tha-n railroad train. At the time cif the yaeh race in New York harbor, last' §epten ber, homing pigeons were Used to bring messages back to -the city. The lofts to which the pigeons belonged -were locate in every instance several miles from Nes York, and at some places some distanc from a telegraph station. The message were written on manifold note folde square and fasted to the tail feather b copper wire. Each bird ; carried te pages. The editor of a paPer receivin these messages said : A pigeon was carried to sea by a ocean steamer and set at liberty at on o'clock -in the afternoon 255 miles out; the message reached the city before ev ning. When Mr. Beecher sailed, som three aseeeks since, a passenger loosed bird when the ship was several hundre miles at' sea, and the message was safely delivered. At Ixelles, Belgium, where pigeon races are a most popular ansusement,- a company of the militia were at dri 1 early in the morning, to be free at the time the birds liberated in thq races f the day should arrive.

Messengers in he Air. Tire homing pigeon is f st becoming a favorite in this country. Thousands of dollars are in vested in the several breeds af these Virile, and beautiful cotes are made for their shelter. , As the name indicates, those birds are remarkable for the distance and surety with which they will fly for home. In the time of war, homing pigeons have done great service. Notably dur- ing the siege of Paris, in the recent war 1)etween Germany and France, three hundred and sixty-three birds weretaken from Paris and nearly all returned with messages.- How were the birds taken from Paris in the time of a siege? you will ask. They were taken from the city in balloons, and in a short time were the postal service and the telegraph service between the city and the outside world. During the siege they carried one hundred and fifty thousand official dispatches. Row many private messages they carried is not known. - Mr. E. A. Starr, in the July number of the "Century," gives us these a.nd ()tiler interesting facts. He tells us that about fifty-seven birds did all this work. One pigeon waa_called the " angel of the siege," and one cantered and given to Prince Frederick Charles was seat by hins te his mother as a prisoner of war. Pour years after the pigeon was liberat- ed and returned to his own home in France. In ctermany the hest breeds of these birds are awned by the government. They are trained under the military de- partment, looking te their use in time of War. Here the birds are trained to carry messages from one point to an- other, ntilee apart," by feeding them in one place and giving them water in the other. Neither the English nor the United States gin:eminent has encouraged the train i n g of pigeons as possible assistants in tine of sa-ar, those intrusted with the s‘xtee.riments iu this country and Eng- land expressing the belief that "their real service is extremely doubtful." It is theught by those familiar with the homing pigeon and its ability that in time this opinion will be changed. In hoth countries the birds are used to earry private messages. Mr. Starr tells us 1 • 1 The Pope's Daily Li The Pope rises at 6 every and after performing his pOvat ions he says his , own mass a attends a mass said by one of h s chap- isins, after which he 'makes hasty breakfaiit.

When that th at last it was announced that he had triumphed in the contest, lic"i ushed to a telegraph office, and in the mad enthusi- asm of the moment sent this message to his family : " Elected ! Hooray! Paint my old home red. He staid in the capi- tal for about a week, celebratinn his goad fortune, and then returned to his rustic seclusion. On alighting from the train he was half dazed by a scarlet glare that appeared above the apple trees of his orchard. "What's happened the house?" he asked in amazement. "Nothing" replied one of his felloW- townsmen ; "only you telegraphed us to paint your house red and we've done it. Here's your bill." They had painted the hquse, and barn, and pens, and hennery, asid stables—in fact, there was hardly a stick. on the premises that had not been painted a Jubilant red. The Missing Sovereigns, As the story goes, the electric tele- graph on the start proved itself an in- valuable institution with a certain busi- ness house in Great Britain. It is relat- ed that when the "invention was new and as mystery to the masses, there canie trouble one Saturday night in the Bank of England. The business of the day had been closed, and the ;balance was not right. There was a defieit of just A:100. This is a fearful thing in this establish- ment. Had it been a hundred thousand or a million there could not have been greater commotion. It was not tlie money but the error that mest be found. For some of those clerks! there could be no sleep until the loop Ahould be taken up. "All that night, and all day Sunday, a squad of clerks were busy. That -C100 was surely gone from the vaults, but no penmark told where. "Meantime, a young clerk, on Sun- day evening, wending his was homeward from one of the gardenelfell to thinking of his busy companies at the bank; p and suddenly a suspicio of the truth flashed across his mind. On the follow-' ing morning he hurried to his post of duty, and told the chief what he suspect- ed.

SEED BARLEY FOR SALE.—The undersigned has on hand a number of bushels of a new variety of six rowed barley, calledthe Mansard, which they offer for sale It is 'perfectly free from all foul seeds of any kind. We have grown it now ler two seasons and have thoroughly tested its good qualities and are now, in a posi- tion to recommend it to our brother farmers as one of the best rarities of six rowed barley ever introduced into the county of ,1 Huron. The points of superiority over the coirimon variety are as follows: It grows longer and coarser straw and in regard to stiffness it is more like wheat . straw than that of barley, consequdntly it stands up splendidly. It has a longer head, a larger grain. and will yield at the lowest calculation 10' bushels per acre more than the common variety' of barley, besides it is recommended by the brewers as being equal to the comaion barley for their purposes. A sample of the -said barley will be left at J. Btownell'e grocery store, Sea - forth, for inspection.
