Roosts In Pitchy Darkness.
Although birds are not placed near
the summit line of evolution their
ability to fly gives them advantage
over nearly ali the mammalia.
Their mysterious power Of chang
ing their palarity or weight in order
to dive in water or fly has been often
discussed and the almost incredible
velocity of their motion when migrat-
ing, sometimes amounting Co four
miles a minute for vast distances, has
no parallel among other animals. A
series of careful trials with carrier
pigeons reported from France shows
apparently without doubt their pos
session of a highly developed sense

Senate the result thereof. To this end the
committee il authorized TO sit by sub
committee or otherwise in the recess Of

under oath. and TO employ clerical or other
assistance.
As the expense Of the investigation is 90

Senate the resolution was referred 20 the
committee having that fund in charge.
favorable report will undoubtedly he
returned by that committee, and unless
there Is unexpected opposition developed

The Senate OF course cannot originate

the Finance Committee. no matter how
extensive. would be of little or no assistance
to the House in preparing a bill for the
revision of tariff schedules. But in case
Congress should be called in extra session
next fall for the purpose Of making tariff
changes. the Senate investigation would
probably enable that body quickly TO dispose
Of any revision bill that the House might
