CARRIER PIGEONS WITH
CAMERAS.
---*---
Carrier pigeons in Germany are be-
ing used to make aerial photographs
by means of tiny automatic cameras
which operate while the birds are in
flight. Two hundred views can be
taken by such a camera on one flight
the shutter starting to click after the
bird is in the air. Pigeons are train-
ed at a special Government school
for this work as well as for carrying
message tubes which are attached to
their legs while the camera is strap-
ped to the breast.
