NEVADA fe sy or eS 4s AS ERS ERASING IS PREIS RESEND feacher of Vocal and ‘Instruniental’ CAN NY INSECT WORKERS. ‘They Fertilise, Flowers For Strictly Util tarian Reasons. A correspondent writes: ‘‘The theory of the crigin of flowers by the selection of insects is one which has attracted muchattention both in scientific cir-. cles and from the general 1 @!ic. Set. ; . forth by Darwin in the ‘Origin of Species,’ it bas been largely developed in a series cf interesting publications by Sir dobn Lutbock and Mr. Grant Allen. f£ome fresh and interesting light bas now been thrown cn it by a series of experiments recently carried out by Professor Plateau of the University of Ghent. Professor Plateau hasarrived at the ecnclusion that insects are indifferent to the colors of the flowers they ‘isit, and that they are guided toa them in a very suborainate way by sight. The experiments on which the Belgian =~ proivssor bases. his farreaching conclu5 sions vre briefiy ticse: Having covergd the brightly cotored flowers Of single. . dabiias in bis parden with bits of green leaf, ‘he found that they were still visit2d ly insects. Lhis seemed so much at yariunce with the generally received view tiat insects ure attracted to flow-} ers cite fly by their color that Professor . ” Plateso institnted & prolonged series of axpcriments aud observations to put the matier still further to the. proof. The Tresuit has been to coufirm and.strengthen the conclusions drawn trom ‘the first experiteents, Cutting cf the Lrightly coelcréd corollas of sezh towers as Tebelia, evening primrese, i: :xglove, etc., he fuond the rcmaiting green parts were still visited. Again there are sume dom. or never visited by izsects owing to their lack of honey. Notable among ‘these ia the scarlet geraninm of our garden. But when a little honcy was placed on geranium flowers bees came to them at once, those blossoms wbich had not received honey being passe:] over. **Other conspicuons flowers were tried ii a similar way withelike results. The experiment of removing the honey bearing parts of a flower and leaving the brightly chiocred part, which was supwith the single dablia. Its inner florets were removed, leaving the conspicuous outer ones, a piece of yellow leaf being placed in the center. No insects went to these honeyless flowers. “But as soon +} as a drop of nectar-was placed on them they visited them as freely as before. Again, Professor Plateau made artificial flowers with pieces of green leaf, each furnished with a little honey: These were freely visited by insects. Ent artificial flowers made of colored material were neglected, even when supplied with honey, **In further support of his views Professor Plateau is able to bring forward the following tacts as to the habits of insects in visiting flowers: They will pass freely and with apparent indifference from one color to another of varletles OF the tame species yruwing together in our gardens; they visita great number of green and greenish colored flowers; there are many small and inconspicuous flowers which are also freely visited. Such is a brief outline of Professor Plateau’s observations and experiments, from which he believes himself justified in drawing the conclusicn that sight plays a very subordinate part in attracting insects to flowers. Their bearing on the theory of the insect origin of flowers is obvious,’’—London Times. The Old Man Was Cured. “Talk about curing people of bad habits, one of tke funniest cases I ever knew occurred on the south side some years ago,”’ said Detective Thomas McQuaide. ‘‘There was an old fellow over there who would insist on fussing with big wife, who would invariably give him the worst of it. Then he would run up stairs and hang out of the second story window, holding to the ledge, shouting like wildfire that he-was going to drop and kill himself. Of course the wife would relent and set up a noise that would bring ont the neighbors for dlecks, and the man would be pulled in the window by friends. “*This got to be coming too frequently, -in@ tome of the boys who lived near, ind who bad loosened several juints in théir spines at different times pulling “Ebim in, decided to stop it. One fine day it Game again. The old fellow hung out of the window, chouting that he would safely jump.cnd end it all; the wife cathe rushing ieto the street in hysterics, aiid the neighbors ran as before to pull bim up. The first mah.who got there bit the man’s fingers witha stick, making him locsen his hold, and, to the horror of. all, he dropaad to the-hard pavement with a how! that-vwas pitifal. He was not badly hurt, but it cured +-bim-of that bad habit.’*— Pittsburg Disbutch. Crushed, Nell—So you're really engaged in earnest? Belle—Yes, aud to think that I should do it, after rejecting almost # hundred proposals! Nell—Indeed. What a very persist ent young man he must have been.— Philadelphia Record. They Scatter.

A correspondent writes: ‘‘The theory of the crigin of flowers by the selection of insects is one which has attracted muchattention both in scientific cir-. cles and from the general 1 @!ic. Set. ; . forth by Darwin in the ‘Origin of Species,’ it bas been largely developed in a series cf interesting publications by Sir dobn Lutbock and Mr. Grant Allen. f£ome fresh and interesting light bas now been thrown cn it by a series of experiments recently carried out by Professor Plateau of the University of Ghent. Professor Plateau hasarrived at the ecnclusion that insects are indifferent to the colors of the flowers they ‘isit, and that they are guided toa them in a very suborainate way by sight. The experiments on which the Belgian =~ proivssor bases. his farreaching conclu5 sions vre briefiy ticse: Having covergd the brightly cotored flowers Of single. . dabiias in bis parden with bits of green leaf, ‘he found that they were still visit2d ly insects. Lhis seemed so much at yariunce with the generally received view tiat insects ure attracted to flow-} ers cite fly by their color that Professor . ” Plateso institnted & prolonged series of axpcriments aud observations to put the matier still further to the. proof. The Tresuit has been to coufirm and.strengthen the conclusions drawn trom ‘the first experiteents, Cutting cf the Lrightly coelcréd corollas of sezh towers as Tebelia, evening primrese, i: :xglove, etc., he fuond the rcmaiting green parts were still visited. Again there are sume dom. or never visited by izsects owing to their lack of honey. Notable among ‘these ia the scarlet geraninm of our garden. But when a little honcy was placed on geranium flowers bees came to them at once, those blossoms wbich had not received honey being passe:] over. **Other conspicuons flowers were tried ii a similar way withelike results. The experiment of removing the honey bearing parts of a flower and leaving the brightly chiocred part, which was supwith the single dablia. Its inner florets were removed, leaving the conspicuous outer ones, a piece of yellow leaf being placed in the center. No insects went to these honeyless flowers. “But as soon +} as a drop of nectar-was placed on them they visited them as freely as before. Again, Professor Plateau made artificial flowers with pieces of green leaf, each furnished with a little honey: These were freely visited by insects. Ent artificial flowers made of colored material were neglected, even when supplied with honey, **In further support of his views Professor Plateau is able to bring forward the following tacts as to the habits of insects in visiting flowers: They will pass freely and with apparent indifference from one color to another of varletles OF the tame species yruwing together in our gardens; they visita great number of green and greenish colored flowers; there are many small and inconspicuous flowers which are also freely visited. Such is a brief outline of Professor Plateau’s observations and experiments, from which he believes himself justified in drawing the conclusicn that sight plays a very subordinate part in attracting insects to flowers. Their bearing on the theory of the insect origin of flowers is obvious,’’—London Times. The Old Man Was Cured. “Talk about curing people of bad habits, one of tke funniest cases I ever knew occurred on the south side some years ago,”’ said Detective Thomas McQuaide. ‘‘There was an old fellow over there who would insist on fussing with big wife, who would invariably give him the worst of it. Then he would run up stairs and hang out of the second story window, holding to the ledge, shouting like wildfire that he-was going to drop and kill himself. Of course the wife would relent and set up a noise that would bring ont the neighbors for dlecks, and the man would be pulled in the window by friends. “*This got to be coming too frequently, -in@ tome of the boys who lived near, ind who bad loosened several juints in théir spines at different times pulling “Ebim in, decided to stop it. One fine day it Game again. The old fellow hung out of the window, chouting that he would safely jump.cnd end it all; the wife cathe rushing ieto the street in hysterics, aiid the neighbors ran as before to pull bim up. The first mah.who got there bit the man’s fingers witha stick, making him locsen his hold, and, to the horror of. all, he dropaad to the-hard pavement with a how! that-vwas pitifal. He was not badly hurt, but it cured +-bim-of that bad habit.’*— Pittsburg Disbutch. Crushed, Nell—So you're really engaged in earnest?
