FLAMINGO LONG A MYSTERY
To American Naturalist Belongs Honor
Of Learning Habits Of Really
Remarkable Bird.

Until comparatively few years ago
the habits of the fiamingo, without
doubt the most remarkable Of all liv-
ing birds, were a tantalizing mystery
to naturalists. In 1904 the first photo
graphs of nesting flamingoes were
secured by Dr. Frank M. Chapman Of
the scientific staff of the American
museum. The group was constructed
from photographs and notes made
during his Investigations, and from
specimens secured by him. Flamingoes
occur in thee warmer parts of both
hemispheres. The American f1amingo
the most brightly colored of the
genus-ranges from the Bahamas and
southern Florida to Brazil and the
Galapagos.
For nests flamingoes erect curious
mounds of mud, from 8 to Ii inches
high, and measuring about % inches
in diameter at the base and IA inches
across the top. A depression, about
one inch deep, in the top Of the nest,
holds the single egg, laid in May. Both
male and female incubate. When the
young are Matched they are covered
with down like that Of young ducks.
They develop their brilliant plumage
in their second year. For their first
three or four days they remain in the
nest, and are fed by the parents on
predigested food. At about three
weeks of age they enter upon their
adult diet of crustaceans.

SENATE COMMITTEE
AMENDS LEAGUE
Body Votes Curb on Great Britain
in the Pact.
u. S. is GIVEN EQUAL VOICE
Body Alters League to End Majority
of England and Colonies-Mention
of Britain Is Avoided in
Resolution.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-An amend
ment to the peace treaty providing
that the United States shall have as
many Representatives as the British
empire in the League Of Nations as
sembly was adopted by the senate
foreign relations committee.
The vote was 9 to 8, Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota,
standing with the Democrats against
the amendment The amendment
would not reduce the six votes held
by Great Britain and it's dominions,
but simply would provide the United
States have equal representation.
The amendment was the first to be
adopted by the committee relating to
the league covenant. 1t was presented
by Senator Johnson, Republican, of
California.
Applies to Council Also.
The amendment also contains the
same provision regarding the league
council, the effect Of which would be
to offset the possibility that Great Bri-
tain and one of her dominions might
be represented in the council at one
time.
In the council there are to be nine
members, one from each Of the tive
big powers and the other from
smaller states to be selected from time
to time.
Under the amendment the following
proviso would be inserted in the cove
nant:
"That when any member of the
league has or possesses self governing
dominions or colonies or parts of en-
pire which are also members of the
league, the United States shall have
votes in the assembly or council OF
the league numerically equal to the
aggregate vote of such member of the
league and it's self-governing domin-
ions and colonies and parts Of empire
in the council or assembly of the
league"
Two Other Alterations.
The committee also adopted two
other amendments, providing that the
American representatives on the rep
arations commission shall vote only
when specifically instructed to do so
by this government, and that none OF
the British dominions may take part
in deciding a dispute under the league
to which one of them is a party.
The Preparations amendment was
proposed by Senator Fall, Republican,
New Mexico, and the other by Sena-
tor Moses, Republican, New Hamp-
shire. The vote in each case was 9
to s, the Democrats and Senator Nc
Cumber voting in the negative.
The Moses amendment followed a
suggestion made by former President
Taft, and was considered necessary
by the Republican members to pre-
clude any possibility that the British
dominions could act together to pre-
vent any one of them from being. over
thrown in a decision by the league.
The PREPARATIONS commission, which
will have charge of collecting Ger
many's PREPARATIONS bill, is. one Of the
few which would have an American
representative under the amendment
adopted earlier in the week to reduce
American representation on such
commissions.
