CANNY INSECT WORKERS.
They Fertilise Flower* For Strlrtly Ttlll
tnrlnn Reasons.
A correspondent writes: "The theory
of tho origin of flowers hy the selocfioti
of insects is one which has attracted
much attention hotli in scientific cir
oles and from the general public. Bet
forth hy Itarwin in tho 'Origin of Bpe
cies, ’ it has been largely developed in a
series of interesting publications by Bir
John Lubbock and Mr. Grunt Allen.
Some fresh and interesting light has
now been thrown on it by a series of
experiments recently carried out hy
Professor Plateau of the University of
Ghent Professor Plateau lias arrived at
the conclusion that insects are indiffer
ent to the colors of tho flowers they
visit, and that they are guided to them
in a very subordinate way by sight.
The experiments on which the Belgian
professor bases his farreaching conclu
sions are briefly these: Having covered
the brightly colored flmvi rs of single
dahlias in his garden witli bits of green
leaf, he found that they were still visit
ed by insects. This seemed so uiacii at
variance with the generally received
view that insects aro attracted to flow
ers chiefly by their culor that Professor
Pluteuu instituted a prolonged series of
experiments and observations to pot the
matter still further to tho proof. The
result has been to confirm and strength
en the conclusions drawn from the first
experiments. Cutting off the brightly
colored corollus of such flowers as lo
belia, evening primrose, foxglove, etc.,
be found the romuluiug green parts
were still visited. Again there are some
brightly colored flowers which arc sel
dom or never visited by insects owing
to their luck of honey. Notable among
these is the scarlet geruuium of oor gar
den. But when a little honey was placed
on geranium flowers bees outlie to them
at once, those blossoms which had nut
received honey being passed over.
“Other conspicuous flowers were tried
in a similar way with like results. The
experiment of removing the honey bear
ing parts of a flower and leuving the
brightly colored part, which was sup
posed to be attractive, was also tried
with the single dahlia. 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 honoyless flowers. Hut as soon
as a drop of nectar was placed on them
they visited tbum as freely us before.
Again, Professor Plateau made artificial
flowers with pieces of green leaf, each
furnished with a little honey. These
were freely visited by insects. Hut arti
ficial flowers made of colored material
were neglected, even when supplied
with honey.
“In further support of his views Pro
fessor Plateau is able to bring forwurd
the following facts as to the habits of
insects in visiting flowers: They will
pass freely and with apparent indiffer
ence from one oolor to another of va
rieties of the same species growing to
gether in our gardens; they visit a great
number of green and greenish colored
flowers; there are many small undin
conspicuous flowers which are also free
ly visited. Such is a brief outline of
Professor Plateau’sobservationH and ex
periments, from which he believes him
self justified in drawing the conclusion
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 Cored.
“Talk about curing people of bad
habits, one of the funniest cases I ever
knew occurred on the south side some
years ago, ’ ’ said Detective Thomas Mo
Quaido. “There was an old fellow over
there who would insist on fussing with
his wife, who would invariably give
him the worst of it Then he would run
up stairs and hung 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 out the neighbors for
blocks, and the man would be pulled
in ilia window hv frimidu.
“This got to becoming too frequently,
and some of tbe boys who lived near,
and who bad loosened several joints in
their spines at different times pulling
him in, decided to stop it. One fine day
it came again. The old fellow bang out
of tbe window, shooting that be would
surely jump and end it all; tbe wife
came rushing into the street in hysterics,
and the neighbors ran as before to pull
him up. The lirst man who got there
bit the man's lingers with u stick, mak
iug him loosen his hold, and, to tbe
horror of all, he dropped to the hard
pavement with a howl that was pitiful,
lie was not badly hart, but It cured
him of that bad habitPittsburg Dis

SHE WON BEAUTIFULLY.
It Coat Him the Better Part of a Cigar to
Learn Pollteneea.
They boarded an on«t hound Market
street oar at Forty first street. It was
after 1 o'clock in the morning, and be
wanted to smoko, having probably just
dined or supped at a toil! which was be
ing given iu the neighborhood. She
didn't want to smoke and she didn’t
want to be separated from him.
“Come on inside the car," she plead
ed.
“No,” he answered. “I am going to
smoke. Go inside yourself, and when 1
have finished my cigar I will join you.”
But this didn't suit her.
“If you stay out here to smoke,” she
retorted. “I'll stay right with yon."
He looked at her a moment, and then
evidently concluded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling ont u big nigur, be lighted
it, and, settling himself comfortably
against the dashboard of the oar, he be
gan to pull away as if his life depended
npon it. Nothing daunted, she took a
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started np a lively con
versation.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the car as well as of those who got
on at varions corners. He tried to urge
her inside the car a number of times,
but she refused to go. In this fashion
the two rodo aoross the bridge and half
way to city hall before he weakened.
The anticipated jeers of the peoplo he
knew would be on Market street in the
center of the oity were too much for
him, and, throwing away the biggest
end of his cigar, he sullenly said,
"Well, if you won’t go inside without
mo I suppose I’ll have to trot along."
Then he took a seat away np in the
front end, and she settled herself beside
him. Meanwhile the whole our smiled
audibly.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
WHAT IT CO8T8 TO 8MOKE.
A Library Which Materialised From Ta
booed Fire Gent Cigar».
‘' How oau you afford all these books?''
asked a youug man, calling upon a
friend. “1 can’t seem to find spare
change for even tbe leading magazines. ”
“Oh, that library is only my ‘one
cigar a day,’ ” was tbe reply.
“What do you mean, ” inquired the
visitor.
“Mean? Just this: When you advised
me to indulge in an occasional cigar
several years ago, I bad been reading
about a youug fellow wbo bought books
with money that others would have
burned in cigars, and I thought I would
try to do tho sume. You may remember
that I said I should allow myself one
cigar u day?”
“Yes, I recall the conversation, but
don’t quite see the connection.”
“Well, I never smoked, but I put by
the price of a 6 cent cigar every day,
and as the money aooumulated 1
bought books—tbe very books you see.”
“You don’t mean to say that your
books cost no more than that! Why,
there are dollars’ worth of them.”
"Yes, I know there are. 1 had sis
years more of my apprenticeship to
serve when you advised me ‘to be s
man. ’ 1 put by the money, which, at 6
cents a day, amounted to $18.96 a year,
or $109.60 in six years. I keep those
books by themselves as a result of my
apprenticeship cigar money, and if
you’d done as 1 did you would by this
time have saved many, many more dol
lars than I have and would have been
better off in health and self respeot be
sides. ”—Success.
Tbe Alpine Good Night.
Among the lofty mountains and ele
vated valleys of Switzerland the Alpine
born has another use besides that of
sounding tbe farfamed “Bans des
Vaches, ” or cow song, and this is of a
very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set in the valley
and the snowy summits of the moun
tains gleam with golden light, the herds
man wbo dwells UDon tbe highest hab
liable spot takes his horn and pro
nonnces dearly and loudly throngh it,
as through a speaking trumpet, “Praise
the Lord God. ” As soon as the eound is
beard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
This frequently lasts a quarter of an
hour, and the oall resounds from all the
mountains and rooky oliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with unoovered
heads. Meantime it has beoome quite
dark. “Good night I’’ at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the moun
tains, the horns of the herdsmen and
the cliffs, and the mountaineers then re
tire to their dwelling!.—Pittsburg Dis
