The pigeon post established at Lady- ascltb. end Durban for carrying . war: special appropriation, for increasing the service will be recommended b y ...... the war office. A good deal of this sue cess of the pigeon service .is due to ' the (kill and energy of Col. Hassan), of the Koyal engineer, who. has spent years in pigeon culture for just this : .tort of an emergency, and he has demon' trated the .fitness of the birds for. war purposes. Col. Hassan), who was sta j tloned at .the Cape before hostilities broke out, systematically, trained his 1 pigeons for carrying messages' across the .rough, mountainoun, land, and hia various pigeon posts were of the great :.t value in keeping the home office ap prised 4of, the exact condition of the nearly : every . civiUied ; , government now baa carrier pigeons connected with i.tartb UMlr war and navy departments. .ranea kas entered into pigeon culture rBore .extensively .than any .other Ku "topein power, and it it roughly, esti auated that there are 250,000 pigeons in that country trained for war emer 4 fniee.

The own ers of private Ipfta hve to register their carrier-pigeons, and the war de partment knowa.exactly how many of the birds it can obtain at a moment's " notice.' "".'.'; ,':. t -;' The Austrian government also relies largely upon' private owners' pigeons for service in times of war. Every bird ... in the country has . to be registered, and not one can be sold or sent out of the country withont permission., Since 1675 a few thousand pigeons have been in regular service at the fortresses and frontier posts. Russia has a military pigeon system, which is maintained by the officers in the corps of engineers. Little is known about her system, ex cept thai lofts are scattered through- ' r out the empire, including bleak Siberia. The intense cold of the winter months in the latter place seriously interferes with the success of the pigeon post , and partly neutralizes the good effect ! oi n. itniy a pigeon post was estab ' Uthed in 1872, and Spain and Portugal inaugurated similar systems a few years later. , .. . . . , , There are 1,000 homing pigeons on the books of the British navy, and sev . eral times this number on the hooks . of the army. In the past ten years the United States army and navy depart ments have been interested in the car- rier pigeons, and we have posts estab- :, i iisnea at different points throughout the country.. Their services have been useful chiefly in the navy, and experi ments are being made constantly in communicating by this means between the shore and the ships. There is no system of registering homing pigeons Jn private lofts, and in emergency the government in need of more pigeons v would have to depend upon the patriot- ism of the private owners for increasing its supply. That there would be plenty of. volunteers no one doubts for a no- ment. Collier's Weekly. Ckauaea la; War... .,.'.,,,, "VTar is not such a dangerous game as people think. In spite of all efforts to annihilate each other, enemies do com paratively slight damage:; During the Franco-German war,1 with its scores of ; battles on a vast, scale, only 10 men in each 1,000 were .killed, and' 108 wounded, while ', per 1,000 were mis ing. Thus any soldier cneaced had about, nine, chances to one that : hj ' would hot get a scratch, and over fifty chances to one that he would not be uiledV Most of the wounds received were slight that is to say, one-fourth or an tne bounds "were -severe,:.

In order to minimize the death' roll it lias been suggested that just before a charge tnke6 place smpke shells should lie fired, whloh would temporarily hide , the English soldiers.
