In America it has been observed that
bees often bore tubular corollas in Or
der to get at the nectar of flowers. in
stead of entering by the mouth, as
humble bees do in Europe. In essays
on the ross-fertilization Of flowers this
supposed anomaly has been the gu bje ject
of much comment. 1t now appears
that the humble bees OF Europe and
America have Identical habits in regard
to the manner in which ths visits to
flowers are made, aud that it is the
class OF insects known as the carpenter
bse, or the borer, which works in the
outside manner indicated.

This news caused a decided
sensation, as the Princess is a
granddaughter of the Emperor
of Austria as well as grand
daughter of the Prince Regent of
Bavaria. But the sensation
which the report of the marriage
created is as nothing to the con-
sternation caused in imperial and
royal circles today by the an
noucement made by the Germania
chief organ of the clerical party,
which declares that Princess
Elizabeth was not married to
Lieutenant Siegfried, and that
she is not now married to him,
although they are living together.
The Germania adds other news
which is undoubtedly most pain
full to the relatives ofthe Princess,
but as it is not fit to be published
it is not contained in these dis
patches.

Life History Of Ferns.


AT the gardens OF the Royal
British Botanic society Profes-
sor Groves recently delivered an
interesting lecture on the growth
of fern. Tracing the formation
of ferns spores from the first
slight swelling upon the under
side of the mature frond to the
production of the perfect sori, or
case; with its countless dust-like
spores, the lecturer briefly
sketched their further develop
ment, first as small green leaf-
like bodies, lying fat upon the
soil, through the subsequent
formation and fertilization OF
other spores arising from them to
the second and final birth of the
infant fern. The alteration" oi
generation" as it is called
is that which divides ferns from
lowering plants; for. while true
seeds. when planted. grow at
once into the likeness Of their
parents. fern spores have to pass
an intermediate existence before
they reach the same stage. .-Ns,s

received the proofs of the forth
coming issue Of Hawaiian post
age stamps. drawings for which
were furnished by Mr.. Holds
worth The stamps are made by
the American Bank Note Com.
pany and are exquisitely design
ed, printed and colored.
The one-cent stamp is oblong
in shape and orange in color. In
the center is the new Hawaiian
coat of arms, which is like the
old one, except that the crown
is absent and eight stars take
the place of two ancient taboo
sticks. The legends Hawaii
above and Zone Cen" below,
engraved upon scrolls, complete
the design.
The two-eent stamp of the
sepia shade of brown contains
fine engraving of Honolulu har-
Dor, with the sky and mountains
in the background. This stamp
is also oblong. Hawaii, in
white letters, and Two Cents, "
in the same fill the spaces above
and below-spaces which make a
square about the view like a frame.
On each side is the word Pos
tage."
The next denomination is the
five cent stamp which has a
groundwork of carmine red. A
horseshoe shaped scroll arches
half the surface and contains the
words: Hawaiian Islands Post
age" In the lower corner are
two numerals 5. The middle Of
the stamp contains picture of the
Kamehameha statue, set amidst
tropical foliage.
The ten cent stamp is very
striking 1t is of vivid green in
color and big fve-pointed star
stands in the center with palm
trees waving about it. Below is
scroll with 'Hawaii' and be-
low that, under a fancy turn of
dashes is the denomination mark,
Ice.
The twenty five cent stamp is
colored blue. A fine medallion
of President Dole is at the right
as the design is looked at, and
from behind it. inclining towards
the left, is an Hawaiian flag be-
yond and under which is a distant
view of palms. An anchor under
the medallion and the mark 25c.
in small square in the lower
left hand corner and Hawaii,
1S93," above, completes the de-
sign. 1t is expected that the
stamps will be on sale by March /.
