the failure is immaterial. The main

guishes them, into red and green. The
Campbell, of green and blue, is perhaps
the best known instance of the latter,
while the red is to be seen exemplified
in the favorite royal Stewart, and in
the kilt Of the Cameron Highlanders.
The hunting Stewart has its admirers;
but, unfortunately, it is a bastard tar
tan. There is a decline even in the
best, for, in the opinion of Lord Archi-
bald Campbell, an expert of recognized
authority, we cannot hope to recapture
the colors Of our ancestors. Lord Arch
ibald somewhere quotes the materials

THE GENUINE SCOTTISH TAR
TANc


The genuine tartans are known and
numbered, and although doubts have
been cast on the dates of their origin,
are of undeniable antiquity. The Duke
of Argyll, who adds the prestige of q
scholar to the authority Of a great
Highland chief, has traced certain her.
estes to an article in the Scots maya
zine of last century. The writer would
nave 1T that the tartan was not so very
much older than his own article, or, at
least, that it was child of the eigh-
teenth century. The magazine must
have had a careless editor for any
tincture of common knowledge might
have rejected that thesis. Maryells
fine Horatian ode makes mention of the
Scot covering behind his parti-colored
plaid, and though what the poet wrote
is no more evidence than what the SOL
der said, the epithet comes as near as
saying tartan" as the exigenoies of
meter permit Plainly, the material
was accepted as distinctly Scotch by
the secretary Of the general who had
invaded the north and defeated the
Scots-encumbered, it Is true, by their
clergymen-at Dunbar. Nevertheless.
the magazine writer contrived to SOW
tares TO some purpose, for time has
made tradition of his canard
Another theory, for which more Is to
be said, fixes the first appearance of
tartan at 1915, the date Of the battle of
Kilsyth; but Hume, in his "History OF
Scotland" has it that 'in Argyll and
the Hebridae, before the middle of the
fifteenth century, tartan was manufac-
tured of one or two colors for the poor.
more varied for the rich Another an
nalist, who wrote before 1890, had noted
the delight Of the Highlanders in mar

which Charles II. wore at his wedding.
In 1861 the acts of Parliament of Scot

NECTAR, NOT COLOR, THE sE-
GREET.

A Belgian Professor Asserts the Color of
Flowers Has Nothing to Do With Wis
it's Of Insects.
The cause Of the relation between in
sects and flowers, though supposed to
be conclusively settled over and over
again, frequently comes up in as I'M
settled condition as ever. Just now
scientific circles are exercised over pa
pers prepared by Professor Felix Pla-
teau of Client, and published in the
Bulletin of the Belgian academy of sci
ences, in which he proves that the color
OF flowers has no connection at all with
the visits of insects. This is a stagger-
Ing experience for those who have been
led to believe that color in flowers was
gift expressly designed to attract in
sects and thus insure cross fertilization,
Indeed, we have been taught that had
not insects appeared on the earth ready
to visit flowers, flowers would be now
wholly destitute of color Professor
Plateau's experiments, however show a
much closer relationship between the
presence of odor and the visits of in
sects than has been heretofore suspect
ed. This point has been materially
strengthened by his labors. Any flower
is freely visited if it be nectariferous,
no matter how colorless or inconspicu-
GUS it may be. There are flowers which
seem to be wholly avoided by insects,
many Of these gay enough in their flo
raj attractiveness but when the profess
sor placed nectar at the base of these
flowers, visits were at once inaugura-
ted A singular fact in connection with
this has recently been recorded in our
own country. A single plant of the
common sumac (rhus glabra), was
growing in an isolated spot, almost hid
den by other vegetation, and far away
from any flowers visited to any extent
by insects. The flowers are small,
green, wholly inconspicuous, and, so far
as human olfactories go, odorless. But
an extraordinary number of species of
insects visited the flowers. A bunch of
blossoms formed a good chronological
cabinet. This remarkable collection of
species, some evidently from long dis
tances, as the honey-bees and wasps,
for instance, cdtild only have been
guided by the sense Of smell. The in
ference is that all plants with nectar
have odor, though it may not be strong
enough to be perceptible to man.-Tn-
dependent.

Another Dull Day on the Stock Exchange
Professional Traders Caused the Only
Spurts.
New York, Nov. 16.-To-day was re-
markably dull on the stock exchange.
The only spurts of activity were due to
manipulative manoeuvres on the part
of the professional traders. These were
notably manifest in Consolidated Gas.
which jumped up and down point at
time all day, but always at level
below last nights price. The decline
extended to ~ points at one time, but
recovering at the close left the stocks
net loss only fractional. The weakness
of this stock and of other local gas
stocks is due to fears of failure of
plans alleged to have been in contem-
plation for the amalgamation of the
local gas companies
Sugar continued to lead the market in
point Of activity and it's strength dur
ing the day helped the general strength
Of the market 1t rose at one time 9
points, but a reaction due to realizing
sales on a short turn left it's net gain
fractional. Others Of the Industrial
stocks, notably Cotton Oil, Tobacco and
Leather preferred rose sharply on trad
ers' purchases, but for the most part
lost their gains on realizing sales. The
movement in New Jersey Central was
due to the same causes. The market
for the most part, however, was firm
in the face of the dizziness, prices con-
tinuing above yesterdays level all day
after a small decline just at the open
ing. This decline was in sympathy
with the heaviness of American securi-
ties in the London market.
London was also a seller in this mar
ket. The strength of the railroad list
generally was due to the continued
good outlook for business, the grain
movement having been resumed in
force and a very heavy movement of
cattle being reported by some western
roads. Manhattan was heavy all day
and at no time did it rise above YES
terday's level. The Rubber stoks were
also somewhat depressed. There was
no news bearing on either of these
properties. The heavy tone in Omaha
alone of the grangers was equally with
out explanation. Northwest, the par
ent stock, gains a point net as does
Rock Island. The market was exceed
ingly narrow both in the volume of the
dealing and in and the movement of
prices Except in few cases prices
show fractional net gains on the day.
