DO-X lost six and one-half ounces on its journey-one-third of its normal weight. Pigeon-Man Ross believes pigeons can be released 200 mi. offshore, can be taught to carry small important articles. Last year two Fort Monmouth birds were released from the Leviathan, stupidly followed the ship to port, resting on deck whenever tired...
