GOVERNMENT CARRIER eicEONs.
Howard Carter Has Charge of Them at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
An important branch‘of the naval
service is conducted 0y an eighteen-
year-Old' boy. He is Howard Carter,
a son of Major J. F. Carter of Mary-
land. '
Young Carter is stationed at the
Navy Yard. Brooklyn. His duties con-
sist in training the Government’s hom-
ing pigeons to carry messages from
ships at sea The boy was engaged by
Secretary Herbert, who purchased his
loft of pigeons as well. ,
Twice'a week a basketful Of the
youngsters are sent down the bay to
varying distances. 'The covers of their
cage are thrown back and they are al-
lowed to escape. Under the leadership
of the veteran the young birds mount
high in the air, circle about once or
twice, and off they start on an airline
for home. The, attraction is the well-
filled grain dishes which they know
a hit them. The pigeons are always
started Off with an appetite. ,
When the birds are still very young
small aluminum bands are placed on
their right legs. Branded in the metal
is an anchor and a number containing
four figures, for example, 6310. The
0 is for 11w year, 3 for the number of
the Brooklyn loft and the other figures
re; resent the individual number of the
bird. Each bird is registered as 500?!
as this band is put on, and a record is
thereafter kept of all it does.
Secretary Herbert considers this a
very important branch of the service.
The birds are able to carry messages
five hundred miles at a Single flight. A
bird can thus be released that distance
from port and announce the coming
of the vessel. The disabling of a ship
anywhere within a radius of that dis-
tance from port could be communi-
cated to the Department. It can be
readily seen how important such a ser-
vice would become in case Of war.
Messages, are written on tissue pa-
per, rolled up and stuck in a quill
which is tied in the pigeon’s tail. This
is so that the message will Offer no re-
sistance to the air. ' A pigeon, when it
is known that it is to be released with
a messsage, is kept without food. This
is so that it will lose no time in getting
away for, the cote when it is free.
On the cote at the yard there is a
Small wire trap. A small platform pro-
jects from beneath this cage. The re-
turning pigeons alight on the platform
and go into the trap.
Once in they are unable to get out
or through into the cote. They are held
here until the trainer releases them.
The cage or trap is connected with the
receiving ship Vermont by an electric
wire. The arrival of a bird is indicated
by the ringing Of a bell on the! ship.
The. trainer is supposed to be on hand.
He goes to the cote, releases the pigeon
from the trap secures thé‘message, and
the bird is turned loose in the cote to
appease its hunger at the feed
trough.
Pigeons, so young Carter asserts, can
be kept aboard ship for a year or even
longer in a foreign port. On the re-
turn of the vessel a bird released when
the ship is 500 miles at sea will fly
with unerring course straight to the
cote where it was bred. .
Arrangements are to be made in the
ships hereafter to accommodate birds
for indefinite lengths Of time. When
the fleet sets out upon' important
cruises a number of the birds will be
taken along. They will be released
one by one and sent home with mes-
sages for the Department. The birds
fly as well alone as in numbers, al-
though whcn released together they
keep in a flock.
The Alic'n‘or’s Visitor.
The alligator was resting himsel
under the pile of stones in his tub of
water. All at once he heard footsteps
coming into the room, and he Opened
his black beads of eyes and went out
to see what was there. Then a sweet
little voice said:
“Why, grandma, heisn’t very big, is
he?” ‘ ‘
A face with blue eyes and red cheeks
was bending down over the tub, and
some long yellow curls almost touched
the water.
“I think I’m pretty big,” said the
alligator to himself, and he really was
almost six inches long. SO, being
rather quick-tempered, he went back
under his stones again and watched to
see what that blue and pink and yel-
low crenturc would do.
“Oh. he’s gone,” said Dorothy, “and
I’m afraid he thinks I don’t like him.
But I do. I do! I’d rather have him to
play with than all my dolls, even the
nice. and his little eyes shine so!
then We can'sce him better.”
So grandma put a towel around her
hand. and she lifted the little alligator
carefully out and held him for a mo-
ment. But he was wet and slippery,
and frightened besides, and pretty
soon got away somehow, running
swiftly about on the floor., Then they
Could not findhim.
"What will Jack _ say, if we have
lost his alligator?” suid grandma.
They looked everywhere, and two
bright tears began to shine in Dor-
othy’s eyes.
“\tht's the matter?” sold Cousin
Jack's voice {ii the door. “Ldst him?
I guess not. Have you looked in my
rubbers under-the cupboard? That’s
whcrc he always hides.” .
Siii'cpnoiigli, there he was. curled up
safely in one of Jack’s overshoeslv

The South Dakota senator-snip. ‘
HURON, S. D., Jan. 4.—'—The Populist
conference here failed to take any definite
action relative to naming‘a United States
senator. Efforts to harmonize the various
factions failed. and each candidate Was
allowed to take his chances. They come
in this order: Kyle, Plowman, Loucks and
Goodykoontz. The free silver forces and
Democrats decline to go into any cations,
and this further complicates the situation.
The Populists cannot elect withofit help
from the Democrats and free silverites.
Congressman Pickler’s friends assert that
he will be the nominee of the Republican
caucus. ‘
