SAYS HE HAS NOT CHANGED.
Pres dent eAys His Acceptance OF Amend

Pres dent Gays Hls Acceptance OF Amend
ment Does Not Anrot HIS Standing.
Washington, May Z. - President
Roosevelt, yesterday, in a telegram sent
the Pennyslvania State Grange, reiter-
ated his reasons for supporting the so
called Allison amendment. The Presi-
dents telegram was sent in response TO
an inquiry from officers of the grange
asking whether it was true he had
changed his attitude. and urging him
to stand by his guns in opposition to
the broad review Senators. His rely
was in effect a reiteration of the au-
thorized statement issued from the
White House on Saturday.
With the possible exception Of Sena-
tor Dolliyer, all of the Republicans
have, It is believed by the leaders,
been lined up for the Allison amend
ment. A number of Democratic Sena-
tors are understood to favor 1t, but as
the Democratic leaders hope to find
some way to play politics in the present
situation by pressing for the Long
Overman- Bacon amendment, these
Democrats may not support the Re
publican proposition.
An effort will be made to secure a
vote upon the Allison -Cullom propo-

the review question out of the way.
With that disposed Of, final disposition
Of the bill will probably be a matter
Of but a few days.
President .Roosevelt's telegram to
the legislative committee of the Penn
sylvania State Grange reads
Telegram received. / am happy to
tell you that not only am / standing
on my original position as regards rate
legislation, but it seems likely that
Congress will take this position too.
The Hepburn bill meets my views, as
i have from the beginning stated.
The Allison amendment is only de-
claratory Of what the Hepburn bill
must mean, supposing it to be con-
stitutional, and no genuine friend of
the bill can object to it without
stultifying himself.
In addition / should be glad TO get
certain amendments such as those
commonly known as the Long and
Overman amendment, but they are not
vital, and even without them the
Hepurn bill with the Allison amend
ment contains practically exactly what
/ have both originally and always
since asked for, and If enacted into
law it will represent the longest steI
ever yet taken in the direction Of solv.
ing the railway rate problem.

AN ODD BIRD.
The Kiwi OF New Zealand Has Some Re
markable Peculiarities.

Inc ktWl OF New zealand HAS some Aco
markable Peculiarities.
st. Nicholas
When the first skin of kiwi was
shown some English naturalists about
20 years ago, they were greatly per-
picked as to its relationship. The kiwi
Is native of New Zealand, and while
once very common there, is now becom-
ing extinct Its remarkable peculiari-
ties are-tirst, the apparent absence of
wings, as the plumage so covers the
small, rudimentary, sticklike append
age of a wing, that none whatever is
apparent. The situation of the
nostrlls, at the bills extremity, is a
second peculiar feature. While hunt
ing for earth worms it probes the soft
ground, making a continual snutiing
sound; thus the scent is evidently of
great help in finding food, and the
reason for the position of the nostrils
quite apparent.
A third popularity is the very dispro-
portionate size Of the egg in compari-
son TO the bird, il being a little less
than one-fourth the birds own weight.
One kiwi's egg found weighed 1416
ounces, while the bird weighed just
under four pounds ga ouncesl and
was about the size Of an ordinary hen.
The plumage Of the kiwi is dull
brown streaked with light gray, and
the body resembles a miniature hay
shock, rather badly hacked of nc the
rear part, as nature has not provided
the kiwi with such decorations as a
tail. The absence Of wings is COM
pensated for by their swiftness of foot,
and the large, clumsy looking legs
which are sometimes used as weapons,
are placed far back on the oddly
shaped body.

THE EYES OF ANIMALS.
Some Results OF Recent Investigations by
British scientist.

Some Results OF Recent Investigations by
British scientist.
Scientific American.
For some years past the eminent
British ophthalmologist, DIR. Lindsay
johnson, has been investigating the
eyes Of animals, and has made some
valuable discoveries of great interest
to zoology and our knowledge of the
evolution of various animals.
One of the most remarkable Of these
researches is confirmation of
Darwin's theory that man is closely
related to the primates. From his
Investigations DR.. johnson has found
that the eyes of all the apes, includ-
ing man, are practically identical
Each has the highly complex system
of veins and arteries, and the direct
or parallel vision.
, According to this authority, the dog
has two ancestors, one round eyed
and the oval eyed. The first is the
hyena, and the latter the bear
through the raccoon. All animals
exposed to chase by enemies, such as
the hare, rabbit, and squirrel, can
see all around, and all the rodentia
squint.
The lower an animal in the scale,
the further is its eye from parallel
vision. According TO this authority
also, the corpus niger, or black body
of pigment, IN the eye Of the horse,
which has proved such a source of spec
ulation TO the naturalists, veterinari-
ans and biologists, reveals through
the ophthalmoscope a new means of
tracing the ancestry and relationship
OF the horse. The eye curtain is
precisely the same as that which is
found in all tropical animals, such as
the omega, camel, antelope, &C, and
fulfils one important function-the
protection of the eye from sunlight.
One result of DR.. Johnson's re-
searches will necessitate a reclassiii-
cation in one section Of zoology.

STRINGENT RULES ON ROYALTY.
CuriositIes Of Regal Etiquette at .varioui
Courts.

Curioslties of Regal Etiquette 1T Various
Courts.
A curious curtailment Of the royal
prerogative is effected by an act Of
Parliament passed in the reign Of
George III which deals with Sab
bath breaking. In this act it is dis
tinctly stated that the monarch shall
not have the power to pardon any per-
sons convicted of a certain form OF
Sabbath breaking. Yet His Majesty
can, of course, pardon nlnety-nlne out
Of every hundred prisoners IN the land.
A number Of years ago, says London
Tit-Bits, it was perfectly permissible,
and, in fact, a matter Of strict etiquette,
for a visitor who should obtain an
audience with the Sultan Of Turkey
to bow and kiss the hand of that
Oriental potentate. Anarchists, how
ever, took advantage of the privilege,
and on one memorable occasion
treacherous emissary drove dagger
into the heart of his sovereign, and
from that time forth the privilege has
been disallowed.
When the youthful King of Spain
was II years of age he one day had the
misfortune to slip and fall down a
flight of the palace steps. The fall
would very probably have been at
tended with fatal results had 1t not
been for a servant who extended a
kindly hand and saved his young mas
ter by breaking the fall But, by a
stringent rule of Spanish etiquette,
no servant may dare touch the sacred
person of tho King, and for this very
grave" offence the servant was at
once dismissed from his position.
By a remarkable law of royal
etiquette, which has existed for a
number Of years past at the Court OF
Siam, no person is permitted to sleep
in an apartment situated above that
occupied by the King. A deliberate
breach of this rule has on more than
one occasion been punished by death.
Recently, when the King of Siam paid
, a visit to Paris, number of bedrooms
were reserved, directly above that in
which the King was to have slept, for
the dusky followers of the royal
visitor. The blunder caused great
CONSERVATION among the fearful cour-
! tiers, until the matter was explained
to the management and duly rectified.
1t is a traditionary etiquette custom
in the Marlborough family for each
Duke to present a Blenheim spaniel to
the Duchess when she enters Blen-
helm Palace for the first time as its
mistress. The story from which this
custom has its origin is that during
the Battle of Blenheim a spaniel fcl-
lowed at the heels Of the great Duke
throughout the day, never leaving him
| until victory was assured.
When the Emperor or Empress Of
China appears in public, no other per-
son is allowed to occupy a higher place
than they do. Therefore, on such oc-
casions the shutters of all buildings
are drawn and the upper parts Of the
houses past which the royal procession
is expected to move are deserted, the
inhabitants swarming to the ground
floors in order to show due Difference
| to their rulers.
