The above table shows cumpala-
lively uniform quantity of each of the
ingredients. water, organic matter and
ash in the grasses, grains and seeds and
straw, of which the ash or inorganic
portion is small, rs well as in the other
substances. Very much of the vola-
tile portion of plants. except the water
and ammonia, is derived directly from
the atmosphere, while the inorganic or
ash portion comes from the soil with
the water in solution. Prof. johnson,
in How Crops Feed" presents this
matter in the following condensed

In speaking of the chemical compost
ton of plants, the ultimate constitu-
ents or clements are seldom mentioned
because they are seldom taken up in
their elementary form; they are there
fore spoken of as proximate principles
or compounds; TINS carbon is taken up
by plants as carbonic acid gas, phos-
phorous as phosphoric acid. nitrogen
as nitric acid, ammonia. The proxi-
mate principles are divided into album
inoids, carbohydrates. vegetable acids,
vegetable oils. alkaloids and coloring
matter. Carbohydrates take their
name from the elements carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen, of which they are COM
posed, and are subdivided into woody
fiber, starch, sugar, gums and jellies.

THE BUSY LITTLE BEE.
The Part Which 1t Plays In the Economy
Of Nature,

In these days of popular science it is
hardly necessary to make more than
passing reference to the part which the
bee plays in nature. In the vegetable
world it is vital necessity that the fer
tilizing pollen from the stamens Of
certain flowers should be carried to the
pistils of other flowers, and the mission
of the bee is to unconsciously carry
the precious dust from blossom to bios
som in her search after the tempting
drop of nectar with which the shy
flowerets reward the winged bearer Of
their love messages. A wonderful and
fascinating chapter in natural history
is that which treats of the relations ex-
listing between flowers and insects.
Flowers may be divided into two
classes, those fortified through the
action of the wind, and those in which
fertilization is effected through the in
tervention of insects or like agency.
Darwin and others have shown what
interesting strategems flowers of the
latter class resort to in order to secure
the services of insects in this respect.
Every little foible and weakness of the
winged visitor is pandered to. What
is commonly called flower is indeed
nothing more than skillfully devised
trap to attract the attention of insects,
and then insure their services toward fer
tilization. Our little friend the bee 10
esthetic in his tastes, and, behold, the
varieties of flowers vie with each other
to beguile his attention in the display
of fho III 1k
and beauty of design. She likes sweet
scents, and the laboratory of nature is
called upon to distill the choicest per-
fumes to humor her. But these are
but an advertisement for the nectar
which it is the principal object
of the bee to obtain, and when
she has alighted in search Of
it, it. is only to find that
the flowers have i'm many cases devised
the most exquisite little mechanical ar
rangement whereby she is unconscious
ly compelled to effect the object toward
the fulfillment of which they have in
dulged in such a lavish expenditure of
beauty and sweetness. 1t is all effected
in the simplest manner through the
great law of natural selection, here
seen in operation in its severe simplici-
ty; for the flowers of those plants
which present the greatest facilities for
fertilization get their seed set and so in
sure the continuance of their species,
while the unsuitable and unaccommo-
dating kind remain barren and are
gradually weeded out In the babel Of
tongues and since first he found voice,
the poet has sung of the loves and
sorrows of mankind, but nature still
waits for him to interpret her heart; if
he ever learns to do so, there will be a
new song in his mouth, for he will have
a wonderful theme.-Longman's~ Mag.

Woody fiber also has a more solid
and compact element than cellulose
because it contains more carbon, and is
called lignin-starch. is abundant in
many vegetables, and especially so in
seeds and tubers; it is found also in cell
walls and very minute grains. Starch
is a very important ingredient of food
for both man and domestic animals.

yesterday; mo sane Republican believed
that Clerk Joyce had anything to do with

the Repository in the same way. Its

1t will be seen the plural number is

sifiers knew that In the single tally

place for tally, and The only error was
In the certificate; and that Is often not

with the tallies when the returns are

This gang not only imposed, or tried
to, upon honest people throughout the
county, bat also deceived and imposed
upon those, some Of them at least, who
endorsed their lying and VillainOus

year were the largest ever known. The
official statement from the land Office
gives the total number of acres thus dis
posed of for the year ending June 30 at
18,309,942. In 1870 the takiDgs were
3,439, ,457 acres; in 1880, 100000, and in
1885, 16 ,O83341. To give a clear idea of
the extent of the settlement last year
