WHY aARszSEAs EXCLUDE BEES FROM
~HGfN GREENHOUSES.

Perfume serves to attract insects.
Artificial flowers were attac he'd to
branches of trees by Nageli; some of
these we're scented with essential obs;
insects were attracted to41these in an
unmistakable manner. while others,
which he left uncented were almost
neglected, says an interesting writer in
CHamber's Journal. The perfume ap-
pears in general to proceed from the
honey, which constitutes the chief
attraction inducing insects to frequent
flowers. In the anemone, poppy and
st. Johns wort we have examples of
honeyless flowers which are, however.
sought by insects which feed uHpn
their pollen. Of which they produce an
excess. The more attractions q aower
presents the better will be its chance
Sf Decentralization, and the greater
the likelihood of its offspring surviving
and spreading. lnconspicuous flowers,
on the other hand, are in dWnger of
| being overlooked by insects. Accord
ngly, most small, obscurely-col5red
flowers are either self-fertiii LIKED or are
adapted to have their pollen trans
| ported by the wind. Wild-fertillzed
flowers such as the rye grass, nettle
and ash, have smah flowers without
conspicuous coloring, honey or scent.
When we look at the flower as mere
" a phase in the development of the
fruit, and when we consider that Its
end is served as soon as cross-fertiliia-
ton has been accomplished, tho short
duration of the blossom becomes IN
telligihle. Once the stigma has been
pollenated, a flower seldom lasts any
lime. Gardeners are well aware of thu,
and take precautions to exclude bees
from their greenhouses; otherwise, they
would find it impossible to keep their
flowers in good condition for any
length of time. On the other hand, 1t
is wonderful how long afiower may re-
main fresh and bright if it has not
been visited. We have already mott ed
this in the flowers of the currant when
protected by muslin. The fuchsia is
another example. This plant when
grown ont of doors may sometimes be
seen, especially toward the end of the
season, with its flowers in perfect con-
dition, after almost every other flower
has disappeared, giving thus unmistak-
able evidence Of having been neglected
by the bees.

save his stock and fortune, but una
vailingly. A happy thought struck
him two or three weeks ago, and he
bought a big lot of porcelain nest
eggs and scattered them promiscu'

were marvelously fooled and have

and with fatal results ever since. 1t

Meeting of tho Legislature,

The legislature Of West Virginia
meets next "Wednesday. Already the
oyershadowing question OF the session
is the senatorship. The question be-
comes doubly interesting because this
Legislature may have two senators to
elect.
Its easy to say that members should
be at least as much absorbed in the
measures to be offered to advance the
public welfare. 1t is not absolutely
certain that there will be any such
measures. There will certainly be the
election Of a senator or an attempt to
elect one, and this in interest for mem
bers means the same thing.
Republicans in the legislature will
be unable to accomplish anything as a
party In matters OF legislation the
best they can do is to show themselves
on the side of the public interest; in
the senatorial contest, to stand of and
look on. This policy is easy to follow
and there are no pitfalls in tho path
way.
