A Neva System or Wireless relegraphS Adapted toy me nevernestent. The New Zealand Government has adopted a novel but thoroughly sue. cessfu:. means of postal service from one island to another by means of homing pigeons. To denote the mes- sage carried by the "pigeon, post," the new, word "pigeongraan" has been adopted. In organizing the service the first difficulty lay' in obtaining complete control and ultimate pos- session of tbe birds used. This was overeome by the government agreeing to pay the owner t4 the birds a large proportion of the postage to be therged, The Postmaster General then authorized the issuance of 600 opeciat "pigeonstram staraps" as a truil issue, one of which was to be used on each tmessage sent. These stamps cost 25o each, and. are pur- reunited and •canceled at the sending' and receiving post offices in the usual manner./ The message written in lead pencil on then but tough tissue paper, the stamp is placed on the cen- ter and then eanceled. The message is fettled up into a small compass., tied under the wing of a. bird, and in on hour is in the hand- 9! the person to whom it is addressed. The Auekland ,post °Wee authorities believe that in this way they will be able to send a toottegram across an expanse of t miles at a less rate than the telegraph companies charge for a ten - word message. - , Ng Oil , Thir .
