1t is Long Way Back to Them, but
They Cause Variety in Plants.
The Professor of Natural Science Mt
Ann Arbor was discussing the process of
fertIlizing plants by means of insects
carrying the pollon from one plant to an
other, and 10 amuse them told how the
old maids were the ultimate cause Of 1t
all, says the Detroit Free Press.
The humble bees carry the pollen the
field mice eat the humble bees; therefore
the more field mice the fewer humble
bees and the less pollen aud variation of
plants. But cats deyour field mice, and
old maids protect cats. Therefore, the
more old maids tine mors cats, the fewer
field mice. the moro bees. Hence old
maids are the cause of variety in plants.
Thereupon sophomore with single
eyeglass, mn Engl sh umbrella. box
coat, with his trousers rolled up at the
bottom, arose and asked:
ta-a-y, professah. what is the cause
-Rh-of old maids, don't You know ?"
- Perhaps Miss Jones can tell YOU"
suggested the professor.
