ANIMALS CHANGE COLOR.

soms Of tho Rea.ons For It and some d
the Mysteries Of It.
Observation and experiment 90 to:
show how large an influence fool
has in determining the color OF
animals. Everybody knows how
easily the color of the yellow
canary may be altered to aIs or:
ange red by mixing cayenne pep
per with it's food, though it js5true
that the color change may sbapro-
duced only in very young birds
whose feathers are not comnletalv
matured. It is also q matter o ac4-
pertinent that all varieties of so sa..
srsss nre not equaliy suacepti tibfs to-
the influence Of the pepper,tand it'
is a very curious fact that It the
pigment that causes the red color Of
the pepper be mixed with the food
Of the birds, without the other con
stituents, yellow colored canaries
are not in the slightest degree affect
cd by it, while brown birds OF the
brown feathers ot yellow birds be-
come distinctly lighter in hue.
Here is another interesting expert
.ment: The large tortoise shell but
terfy normally feeds upon the leaves
Of the elm, while the small tortoise
shell is addicted to nettles, but
when some imagoes of the large
tortoise she'll were bred from cater
pillars that have been found upon
neltles, they. showed wonderful
similarity To-. the smaller species,
though The c.,lor was nearer to that
Of the larger. :" Quite in the same
line is the observation that the thorn
moth exhibits variations in. coloTf
according us tho lnrva. is fed upon
oak, hawthorn, lime or lilac. Many
other experiments have shown a
effect Of food in modifying
or completely changing the color OF /
animals.
Among the changes Of color that
ere most peIplexing, il one would
refer their cause to utility only. is
that Of the gull, which is blue and
white, and is therefore generally
allowed, to lie Of protective value.
But of the first three years Of. their
lives several common speoiesof gull
have 1, .hlownisl speckled plumage, /
which is totally unlike that OF the
older birds. on which fact Mr.. Bed
dard remarks, 'sIf one color be adj
vantageous. tue other must be the
reverse, and three: years il either
considerable period or it is not long
enough"
Another perplexing part of the
arbject is the color OF deep sen ami
inals. 1t is I'm established fact that
marine uuin,ais can and. do live at
the enormous depth Of more than
eve miles below the surface Of the
water. II Is also certain that the
sunlight does not penetrate to that
depth, so that the animals that ex
list there exist in more than mid
night dnrlsness. Yet the fact is that
brilliant colorations are generally
found in them. OF what use can it
bef How can natural selection or
sexual eclectjon have anything to
do with III II is true, indeed, that
there may be phosphorescent light
emitted by the animals themselves,
and OF this there are many evidences,
but. though the deep sea aah may
be guided 70 its prey BY 4 series of
natural .bullsey lanterns, the
color 81 It's prey could have no pro--si'
tective eject, but exactly y the g
yerse Our animal + lends 5

Platt Of Connecticut Will Try to
Amend Hawaii and Porto
Rico Acts,
Charging Them 80 Per Cent Of
Customs Tariffs Other Coun-
tries Pay.
Would Also Abolish the Provi-
sions for Delegates in
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Platt
Of Connecticut has given notice Of i'm
portant amendments he will offer to the
bills providing q form Of government
for Hawaii and Porto Rico. One Of
Senator Platt's proposed amendments to
each Of the bills strikes out the provision
for the election Of II delegate to IN
gress. If adopted, neither Porto Rico
nor Hawaii would be represented III
congrecs. The other amendments re-
late to the customs regulations. In the
case Of Hawaii, he proposes to eliminate
the Hawaiian commission and insert a
clause for the continuance Of the exist
ing customs relations between the
United States and Hawaii until further
legislation by congress.
The customs provisions suggested by
Mr.. Plat in the case OF Porto Rico re.
quires the collection on Porto Ricon ar.
ticles imported into the United States q
''sum equivalent to 80 per cent Of the
customs duties levied upon like articles
imported into the United States from
foreign countries" Articles original.
ing in the United States and shipped to
Porto Rico are to pay there so per cent
Of the duty imposed on importations
from other countries.
