A MADAGASCAR ORCHID.
Is Insect Sponsor Which indicated OAR
wins Belief In His Theory

we might proceed through all the orchid
genera, each affording its surprise i'm its
special modification In adaptation TO its
insect sponsor-all these various shapes.
ioids OF petals, positions, colors the nize,
length and thickness of nectary, the rela-
tive positions of pollen and stigma, en-
Dodying an expression of welcome to tho
insect with which las life il SO marvellous
~ linked. Occasionally this astounding
affinity Is faithful to single species of in
sect, which thus becomes the sole sponsor
OF the blossom, without whose association
the orchid would become extinct A re-
markable instance of this special adaptn-
ton Is seen In the great Angrecum orchid
of Madagascar, described by Darwin in
asmuch rs this species glorifes Darwin's
faith in the truth of his theory and marks
notable victory in the long battle for its
supremacy.
Among the most of skeptcs-and were
they not legiOn--who met this evolution
ary and revolutionary theory with mere
dulity, not to say ridCule or worse was one
who thus challenged It's author shortly
after the appearance of his "Fertilization
of Orchids" addressing Darwin from
Madagascar substantially as follows: up
on your theory of evolution through nat
ural selection all the various contrasting
structural features of the orchids have di-
rect reference to some insect which shall
best cross fertilze them. If all orchid has
noctary an inch long an insects tongue
of equivalent length is implied; n nectary
inches in length likewise implies u
tongue 6 inches long What have you TO
say in regard to an orchid which fourishes
here in Madagascar possessing long nee
tary as slender as knitting needle and
IL inches in lengthf On your hypothesis
there must be moth with tongue IL
inches long, or this neotary would never
have been elaborated.
Darwin's reply was magnificent i'm its
proof of the sublime conviction of the
truth of his belief, "The existence of an
orchid with slender nectary IL inches in
length and with nectar secreted at its tip
is a conclusive demonstration of the exist
ence of a moth with tongue / 1 inches i'm
length, even though no such moth is
| known"
Many of us remember the ridicue which
was heaped upon him for this apparently
| blind adherence To an untenable theory.
! But victory complete and demoralizing to
| his opponents awaited this oracular utter.
ance when later disciple of Darwin, led
| by the same spirit of faith and conviction,
visited Madagascar and was soon able to
affirm that he had caught the moth, a
| huge, sphinx moth and that its tongue
measured II inches in length. William
Hamilton Gibson in Harper's Magazine.

THE MELANCHOLY DANE.
Where Shakespeare Found His Character
of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.

of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
While Shakespeare no doubt wrote the
tragedy of Hamlet, as it Is found today,
he borrowed many of his data from an
earlier writer, Saxo EXAMINATIONS, Dam
ish historian who died about 1904 His
writings were in Latin, and in Shakes
peares time had not been translated into
any modern language. The story is to be
found in Belleforest's collection of novels,
begun in 1864 and an English translation
of it was published entitled 1.-THE Hys-
torie of Hamblet, Prince of Denmarke. Z"
Horvcndile, in the novel, is the name OF
Hamlet's father, Fengon that of his uncle
and Geruth that of his mother. Fengon
traitorously Stays Horvendile and marries
his brothers wife. In the second chapter
Hamlet counterfeits the mailman to escape
the tyranny of his uncle. Through the
Vaccinations of his uncle he is tempted
by woman, the uncle thinking thereby
TO undermine the prince and find out
whether his madness Is counterfeited or
not
In the third chapter Fengon, the uncle,
tries second time to entrap Hamlet in
polite madness, and causes one of his
councillors TO be secretly hidden in the
queens chamber, behind the curtains, to
hear what speeches pass between Hamlet
and the queen. Hamlet kills him and
thus escapes danger. In the fourth chapter
Hamlet is sent to England by Fengon, with
secret letters to have him put TO death.
While his companions sleep Hamlet coun-
terfeits the letters willing the king of
England to put the two messengers to
death" Here ends the resemblance be-
tween the history and the play. The Ham
let of the history returns TO Denmark,
Stays his uncle, burns his palace, makes
an Grafton to the Danes and Is elected
king. He goes back to England, kills the
king of that country, returns to Denmark
with two English wives, and finally falls,
through the treachery of one of these Ia
dies. This is the supposed source of the
plot of Shakespeare's " Hamlet. Chicago

BETWEEN THE DAY AND DARK.

There is an hour when lovers quips
Their studied cadence miss.
There is an hour when lovers lips
Lean trembling TO kiss.
There is an hour when lovers ears
To lightest whispers bark
The hour whose mystery endears-
Between the day and dark.
The day Is all too garish white,
The night too duh and blind.
The days wide eye is large and bright,
The nights cold eye unllind.
The day is made for listening,
The night is cold and carlx,
But Ills the hour when love is king
Between the day and dark.
Tho day is spied by honey bees
And pricl1ed with feathered wings.
Tho night awakes on every breeze
The chirp of woodsy things,
But when the night as yet is still
And day is lying stark,
Then love goes wandering at will
Between the day and dark.
