INSECTS AND FLOWERS.

The Second Lecture by MT. William Hamilton Gibson at the United Church Chapel.
 The United church chapel was filled yesterday afternoon by large audience oi people, to listen to MT. William Hamilton Gibson's second lecture on 'How Flowers Welcome Insects" He told of the differ ent ways in which the insects got at the pallen. In speaking of the red clover, he aaid 1t was necessary to have the weight of the humble bee to press down the petals in order that the pollen might reach the stigma. The ordinary hive or honey bee Is not heavy enough to do this. Thus the bumble-bee becomes @ necessity to the growth of the red clover. And 1t was owing to the absence of the American humble bee that red clover was not @ sue- cess in Australia. The trumpet creeper is fertiliAed by the humming bird, who is able with his lopg bill to scatter the pollen. There is also @ variety of the smilax family called the sarrion flower, which emits a very dissgresable odor which would usually repel any bee or bird. It attracts flies, however. And they are held in the long tube of the flower by the little hairs with which 1t is lined. Here they stay until the stigma has become ripe enough to receive the pollen. The hairs then die and the flies escape.
 MT. Gibson's lectures have attracted con- siderable attention to all interested In bot onieal subjects. The last lecture win be given Saturday morning at Il 80 at the United church chapel.

Arcadia is a clever burlesque, clevsrly performed. There is life, color and motion to please the eye, and pretty music and bright sayings to appeal to the ear.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Ton Persons Killed by a Failing Wall In
Chicago, which Crushed an Adjoining
Building Occupied by Two Families
The Fail Succeeded by Fire, and the
Work of Recovering the Bodies Re-
tarded Thereby.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-At 1880 o'clock
TINS morning the wall of building
winch was lately burned at 767 Halsted
street, was blown down. 1t fell upon
two-story brick building at 765 Halsted
street occupied by the families Of John
smith, saloonkeeper, and James.
hnnze, jeweler. Ten people were
Killed by the falling wall They are:
John Smith. -
Dollie Smith.
His daughter, Is years Of age.
Babe" Smith, son, 10 years Of age. -
Hattie Smith, daughter, 4 years Of
age. I'D
Pauline -, domestic in the Smith
family
James Kunza
Mrs. James Kunze. I
Son OF James Kunze, 81 years Of age.
The building which collapsed was
owned by John York, a large dealer in
dry goods, and was destroyed by fire
few weeks ago. 1t was five stories
nigh, nearly $50 feet deep and has q
heavy front OF white stone York
began to rebuild Immediately after
the fire, and as not all ths
walls were down he had built the
new wall on the top of what remained
OF the old one. 1t is supposed that the
green wall was not sufficiently braced,
although York said tonight that both
the contractor and himself believed it
to be entirely secure. When the buildI
| ing fell the ruins caught fire
from the stoves and it began to
blaze furiously The efforts of the
fire department were enough to
extinguish the blaze without much
difficulty, and the work Of rescue was
begun. The firemen, under the direc-
ton Of Chief Swenie, kept pouring d
steady stream of water upon the ruins
and the police began hastily to
dig into the debris. The Kunze family
occupied the upper portion of the build
ing and the first body taken out
was that Of Mrs. Kunze, whose head
had been crushed by falling beam.
Close beside her. lay the body of her
husband, his white night clothes dyed
red with the life blood that had flowed
| from a dozen fearful cuts in
his head and body. The body
of young Kunze was found shortly
after, and then the flames broke out
once more, and the police were COM
peled to give way until Swenie and his
men, who, by this time were largely
re-enforced, had made it possible for
them to proceed.
