The attorneys representing the next of kin of William Lefdngwell, deceased in the contest over the distribution of the French spoliation award appeared in the probate court yesterday morning and asked that the case be reopened on the ground of newly discovered evidence. The sions rendered by courts in the District of Column bia, which, in similar case tried there, held that the spoiiation awards should go to the next of of the original claimant. This evidence had only been discovered since the arguments in the case were made. Judge Robertson reserved decision upon the application until this morning at 10 o'clock

ficatiOn of the various doors peculiar to the
floral world and arrived at the conclusion
that there are forty five which the sense OF
smell readily recognizes as peculiar and dis
tinctive. and these, of course, have innumer-
able graduatiOns. 1t is a curious fact that
the scent of flowers depends to a consider
able extent upon their color. Thus, far
larger proportion OF white flowers are
scented than is the case with those of other
hues. One white flower in every six is
pleasantly perfumed, while with yellow
flowers which rank next in this respect,
sweelly scented flowers occur only half as
often. With brown flowers only one in
twenty smells sweet The odor of flowers
also depends to some extent upon the
amount of light which they receive. for
those which are kept in darkness always
lose their scent. BY attracting insects,
which carry away with them pollen, and
thus assist in the process of fertilization,
the OdOrs of flowers perform a very useful
part in the economy of plant life.-Ex.

WHY FLOWERS ARE FRAGRANT.
Their Scent Depends to a Considerab I @
Lxtent Ipon Their Color.

Their Scent Depends TO Considerable
Extent Upon Their Color.
1t is known that the odors of flowers arise
from certain essential oils contained in the
substance of the flowers themselves, but
how these oils liberate their scents Is not
very apparent Some botanists have ad-
vanced the theory that the odors Of flowers
arise from the decomposition and renewal of
the essential oils, thus producing a smell in
the same sort Of way as the decomposition
OF animal and vegetable matter does. This
theory, however. has not much to commend
it, for it does not seem probable that decom-
position and life can exist together Mel
Their does the theory allow for such eases as
the night-smeling stock and other flowers,
which are odoriforous only at night, or for
certain plants Of the orchid family, which
give forth their scent only when the sun
shines directly upon them. The perfumes of
flowers are Of three kindS-peTmaneut, fugi-
tive and intermittent Permanent scents are
those which emanate from dried rose tataIs
and the petals Of some other flowers; they do
not cease with the life of the plant Inter-
mttent odors are those OF which tine night
smelling stock is an example. Fugitive per-

REDFERN STYLES.
Fur Trimming still Noticeable "A Beautiful
Cloak and a Neat Coat
Special to THE SUNDAY CALL

NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 1892.-As to the
fashions, they are still extraVaGant. Fur IS
the trimming of all trimmings, and keeps
its place with creditabe persistence. 1t is
chiefly placed ON cloths of the lightest tlnts,
cream color aud sealskin bands being the
newest and most stylish combination.
BOdces fasten invisiby generally under
the arm. Open seams outlined in jet galoon
or pasSementeries and showing a glimpse of
color underneath are still seen, but are con-
sidered better taste on evening gowns than
street toilets Skirts are cut with demi-
trains and in umbrella shape, only the very
few women VINO prefer utility to fashion
wearing short ones.
SILK skirt-liRings and silk petticoats are
quite universal. Gowns Of one cOlOred
cloth, trimmed with bands Of another cloth
edged with the narrOwest possible bands Of
fur, are a new idea. Orange cOlOred ma
terials trimmed with skunk is quite the most
stylish thing for brunettes.
This week Redfern furnishes a sketch Of
beautiful cloak for evening wear. The
sample we saw at Fifth avenue was made of
the fashionable orange color in oriental Vi
cuna trimmed with white Ihibet lamb.
