In SPECIAL MESSAGE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT INVITES
CLOSEST SCRUTINY INTO
CANAL MATTERS.

Declares Charges Against Officials on
the lsthmus Are Actuatsd BY Malice
snd Found Untrue On investigation.
Senator German Criticises the High
Salaries Paid and Urges an Inquiry
by Congress.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The senate
during the day gave attention TO the
Panama canal, the situation in Santo
Domingo and the merchant marine
shipping bill. The canal question came
up in connection with a message from
the president in which among other
things he invited the closest scrutiny
into all that had been lone by the gov
eminent in the Isthmus OF Panama.
Mr.. German made that utterance the
text for a speech in which he criti-
eised the salaries paid in connection
with work for the canal anG urged n
s~fessional inquiry. He urged the
president Is not SO much TO blame as
congress for his assumption Of control
on the Isthmus and the chief mistake
had been made when congress re-
leased Its hold on canal affairs. Mr..
Hale agreed with Mr.. German in urg-
Ing an assertion of the rights OF con
Rress in connection with the canal and
said that while congress had delegated
the matter to the president, the latter
practically had referred the whole mat
ter back to congress.
President R~oosevelt's message trans
mitted to congress the annual reports
of the Isthmian canal commission and
also said that all the charges made
against officials on the Isthmus were
actuated by malice and were all found
to be untrue upon Investigation.

Changes From a Fish to q Bird.

The story of the early life, transfer
nation and final death of the Chinese
quail is the most remarkable that is
found in the pathological literature of
the world. The narrative in all its I'M
reasonableness is found in the story of
ON chung, which is the name the Chi
,nese quail is known by when at home
in the Flowery Kingdom. Celestial au-
thorities on bird lore declare that no
specimen of ON chung was ever known
eggs, as all other known species OF
birds do, and, finally, that their pro-
genitor is a Shiny, four jointed worm
which has a red head and sting on
the end of its tail. This queer seacoast
worm, according to the curious legend
of ON chung, lays 100 eggs annually
Fifty of these become fish and the eth
er fifty are worms Of the same species
as the parent. The fish that has come
into existence in this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs a year Fifty Of
these become water deniZens after the
image of their parent, and the others
become birds of the famed ON chung
family. These ON chungs, or Chinese
Quails, never breed, and are only
brought into existence as above related
We give the above not as a literal fact.
but as a specimen of the Chinese idea
Of evolution.

A BLOOD RED LAKE.
Peculiarly Manifested by a Sheet OF
Woter In Sutherland.


Lake Morat. in Switzerland, has
queer habit Of turning red about two
or three times every ten years. 1t is
pretty lake, like most of the sheets CT
water in that picturesque country, and
its peculiar freak is attributed to a dis
position to celebrate the slaughter Of
the Burgundians under Charles the
Bold on June q, 1416, but the French
say that it bushes for the conduct Of
the Swiss, who in that battle gave the
Burgundians no quarter.
This phenomenon, of course, has its
legend. The old fishermen of the lake
who catch enormous fish called silures
that weigh between twenty-five and
forty kilograms. say when they see the
waters Of the lake reddening that it is
the blood Of the Burgunuians. AS 4
matter of fact, some of the bodies OF
the Burgundians killed in the battle
We're thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into a grave filed with
Quicklime. This historical recollection
angered the Burgundian soldiers Of the
victorious armies of the republic liz
1898 so much that they destroyed the
mon uHent raised IN nonoF or thc41
compatriots who fell heroically in thu
battle. and Henri Martin very justly
reproached them for that piece Of van
daliSm.
1t would hardly do to attribute the
reddening of the waters Of the lake TO
the blood of the soldiers of Charles the
Bold. The coloring is due simply to
the presence in large quantities of little
aquatic plants called by naturalists Os
cillatoria rubescens. The curious thing
about ii is that Lake Morat is the only
lake In which this curious growth Is
