When Birds Are Helpless.

Some of natures most active
creatures show strange helpless
ness under certain conditions.
Place a buzzard in a pen six or
eight feet square entirely open
at the top and the bird will be
as absolutely a prisoner as if it
were dramatically sealed in the
enclosure.
This is because buzzards never
begin a flight from the ground
without starting ON a run Of
three or four yards. If they
cannot have that preliminary run
they either cannot or will not
attempt to fly, and so a buzzard
will remain a prisoner for life in
a Jail with a wide open top.
so with the humble bee. One
of these lively insects dropped
into a goblet or tumbler will re-
main there always unless taken
cut, because it never notices the
means of escape at the top, but
persists in trying to find some
v ay out through the sides Of the
glass near the bottom.
A bat cannot rise from a per-
fectly level surface. These wing
ed mammals are remarkably MIN
bic in their flight when once on
the wing and can fly for many
hours at a time without taking
rest, but if placed ON a floor or
fat ground they are utterly
unable to use their wings. The
only thing a bat can do in such a
situation is to shuttle helplessly
and doubtless painfully along
until it reaches some trifling ele-
walton from which it can throw
itself into the air. Then at once
it is off like a flash.
As a buzzard will not escape
from an open pen, so a wild
turkey will continue indefinitely
in duress with an easy avenue of
escape available. One of these
BIRDS penned up never looks
anywhere but upward for means
of escape. Capturing wild tur-
keys by pen trapping is made
possible by their looking aIoft
habit.
A pen built Of logs and enclos-
ed on every side and rooted,
the only entrance being an open
ing beneath the bottom log on
one side, is all that is necessary
20 entrap the otherwise wary and
watchful wild turkey. The birds,
eagerly following a Turing train
of corn, are led along to the pen
and up through the opening I'M
der the log by which it entered
and persistently dashes around
the pen, its head in the air, look
ing upward for a place to get
out.
The old time pen trapping tur-
key hunter never had any
anxiety about his game escaping
from the trap, and he had only
tc wait a sufficient time to find
it filled with the foolish birds,
all with their necks stretched
full length looking for a place in
the roof through which to take
wing and ignoring the big OPEN
ing under the log that let them
ink.

CONGRESS WILL
SIT ALL NIGHT.
In Continuous Session Until
Noon tomorrow to Clear
Up Bills.

WASHINGTON. March S.-With
less than twenty-four hours to live,
the Slxty-second Congress today
found itself entangled in a maze Of
conference reports on many of the
big supply bills. which ordinarily
must be finally disposed of before to-
morrow noon.
The prospect is that both House
and Senate will be in continual SEES
sion until the moment the inaugural
ceremonies begin. The battleship
fight, with the House holding out
for one ship and the Senate insisting
on two, appears to be the key log in
the jam. Both sides are insistent.
Other measures in conference to-
day were not embarrassed by such
serious difficulties, and while the con-
ferees We're negotiating the Senate
and House were practically marking
time.
An agreement to vote at 8 p. m
upon the appointments as brigadier-
generals of Colonels Carol A. Davol
and the appointment of Major
Beecher b. Ray as a Lieutenant
colonel, was reached in an executive
session of the Senate. The fight
against the army officers acted as a
blockade to all other legislation until
the Senate decided to lay it aside to
let conference reports and other
routine business come in.

ANTS JUBILANT OVER
PRELATE'S STATEMENT

WASHINGTON. March s.-Anti-
suffragists We're iubilant today over
having won to their cause the pow
erful influence of Monsignor William
7. Russell, one OF the most influential
and distinguished prelates of the
Roman Catholic Church in Washing
ton. In a sermon in ST, Patrick's
Church last night Monsignor Russell
said that il the majority of the
women really wanted the vote they
should have it.
But / cannot witness without A
feeling of Indignation" he said, "a
small noisy minority, as it seems to
me, trying to ride rough shod over
the vast majority of home-loving,
child-loving women and compelling
them to accept suffrage whether they
want it or not see nothing to be
gained by woman suffrage, but / see
much to fear" Monsignor Russell
made It plain that he was express
ing his own personal views. and de-
clared that no Catholic could speak
for the church.

the Rev Mr. Green displayed a let
