IT has frequently been asserted tnat
the brilliant colors of many flowers
serve to attract bees and butterflies to
them. Experiments recently reported
to the Belgian Academy of Science
seem to show that the perfume rather
than the color of the flowers is the real
attraction. Bright-colored blossoms
were covered with leaves and papers
pinned closely about them, yet the in.
sects not only visited the hidden flow
ers, but endeavored to force their way
under the papers in order to reach the
blossoms, which they could not see

PROF. IRA REMsEN describes in
Science a curious case of the accumu-
lation of marsh gas under ice. A num-
Der of skaters were on large artificial
lake covered with ice. In places white
spots were noticed in the ice, suggest
ing air bubbles. A hole was bored in
the ice and match applied. The thin
jet of flame burst up and the gas was
found to be marsh gas, formed by the
decomposition of organic matter in the
bottom of the lake. Prof. Remsen
suggests that skating ponds illumin-
ated by natural gas are among the pos
sibilities of the future.

and washed away large portion of the
town. The Missouri, Kansas d. Texas

twenty feet of water. All business is
suspened. but the work of relief pro-
crosses slowly, because the town is di-
vided by a raging torrent, and traffic,
except by boat, is impossible in the
flooded district. Many people, includ-
ing whole, families, were rescued from
tree tops by men in boats. Had the
storm occurred at night the loss of life
would be appalling. AS it is, four peo-

being found alive has about been aban-

London, Sept. 2S.-Seven lives were
lost Saturday at Shields by the founder
ing of boat that was overloaded. The
party that entered the boat sank her
almost to her gunwales, but as they
were in perfectly smooth water there
was no great danger. When, however,
they got some distance out in the bar-
bor, they encountered a small sea, which
broke over the boat, and despite the
efforts made to bail her, soon filed her
and caused her to sink. Other boats
went to the rescue, but before they
could reach the people struggling in
the water, seven of the party had been
drowned.
