Necks and Lees.

Naturalists assure US that, with
few exceptions, there is a marked
equality between the lengths Of the
necks and of the legs of both birds and
quadrupeds, Whether they be long or
whether they be short is determined.
1t seems, chiefly by the manner In
which the animal feeds.
Crocodiles, lizards and fish have
practically no necks. Fowls that feed
in the water also offer an example Of
this correspondence between the men,
bers, with the exception Of swans and
geese and some Indian birds. which
gather their food from the bottom of
pools and must for that purpose have
long necks, while the short legs make
1t easier for them to swim.-Harper's.

TARIFF REVISION SESSION,
Will Be Called 6y New President
About March is.

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 25.-Congress
probably will be called into ex,rsor.
binary session by President Woodrow
Wilson shortly after his 10 augur alton,
perhaps March Is, and the particula ar
legislation that will come before 1t
will be tariff revision.
After two bours' conference With
Speaker Clark, the president.elect es-
terday said he would endeavor to
meet the wishes of democr attic leaders
In congress, who, he was informed,
we're anxious that the interval between
the two sessions Of congress be ss
brief as possible.
While, the speaker ssid the time OF
the present legislature would be con.
sumed with appropriation bills, leav.
ing the bulk of the democratic plat
form pledges to the next congress, he
concurred with Mr.. Wilson that the
tariff should be the foremost su bicet
to come before the special session.
When the conference was over, Mr..
Wilson said the talk had been along
universal lines Legislation as we'll as
cabinet possibilities having been
taken up. He added that they had
discussed the general character of the
extra session and the preparedness of
generul Legislation to come before it.
"We agreed that the tariff should
be the main interest of the extra ses-
sion," said the governor.
In urging an early meeting of con.
gress, the speaker told Mr.. Wilson he
believed members of congress ought
not to be kept waiting too long be.
tween sessions.
