A Bic Insurance Scandal,

The directors Of the National Life
Association, OF Hartford, have admitted
to Insurance Commissioner Belts, OF
Connecticut, that millions Of dollars Of
Insurance had been kept on the books
and reported to the directors when pay
ments on this business had not been
made since 1892; that President Dol
phin S. Fletcher had been not once, but
continually, party to misrepresenta-
tiOns to the directors; that he had been
responsible for systematic false state
ments as to the business Of the COM
pany, and that he had compelled all
under his direction in the company to
do his bidding and make the statements
he ordered or be discharged No one
was prepared for such revelation. 1t
Is said that when an examination was
determined 100000 of alleged insur-
ance was marked off the books. Presi-
dent Fletcher, whose resignation, with
that of Secretary H. r. Braman, has been
accepted, was not present when the rev.
elatiOn was made. Mr.. Braman, with
tears in his eyes, told how he was forced
to do the Presidents bidding or lose
his $4,000 position. Commissioner Belts
said that the President had not been ig-
norant of the false returns and must
have known all about the 100000
shown on the books but not reported to
the State department, He also declared
that policies have been shaved 1t is
stated that Mr. Fletcher, who, though
no longer connected with the company,
has been at the Office every day will
be requested to deliver the keys and
refrain from interfering with the work
in progress by even so much as being
present to see what is going on. Presi-
dent Fletcher has endeavOred to explain
away some Of the points made by the
State officials. Steps have been taken
toward reorganization of the company,
which is still on firm financial basis

Why Are Flowers Fragrant2

The great leading object in nature in
providing nectar and fragrance in tiOW-
ers is still a subject of discussion in
scientific journals. That some flowers
are unable to fertilize themselves and
must have the aid of insects is certain;
and 1t is also certain that in many cases
the fertilization is accomplished by the
insect while on fOraging expeditions for
the sweets which flowers furnish. But
these Well-aScertained facts cover but
small portion of the ground.
The fertilization is as often accom-
lished by insects in search Of pollen as
in search Of honey; but it is not con-
tended that pollen is given to flowers
in order to make them attractive to i'm
sects, as is said Of the sweet seCretiOns.
1t is believed that nectar must be Of
some direct value to the plant, as we'll
as the pollen, and the effort is to find
out what is the chief Office of nectar in
the life history Of the flower Since
thought has been turned in this direc
tion, new class of facts is being re-
corded.
In California grows lupine (Lupinus
cOnfertus) which often takes exclusive
possession of large tracts of land It
does not yield a particle of nectar. 1t
has bright crimson-violet flowers, and
these are produced in such abundance
that the color Of the mass may be noted
at long distances. But it has fragrance
This is so powerful that the traveller
notes it long before he meets with the
growing plants. The pollen-cOllecting
insects visit the flower in great num-
bers. 1t is believed that cross fertiliza-
ton can be effected by these pollen
collecting intruders. AT any rate, the
fragrance would be thrown away if it
were provided for the mere sake of
advertising insect aid---as the other nu-
merous species of lupine which have no
fragrance are as freely visited by bees
fer the sake of the pollen as is this
species.
The cross fertilization is effected as
freely without fragrance as with it, This
point has been made before, though with
no reference to the philosophical Ques-
tions involved Fragrant flowers are the
exception, not the rule. In some fam
lilies Of plants where there may be sew

It Gan be FOreseen.

Wharton Barker's American: That
the value Of the coined dollar would be
the same as the market value of the
silver in 1t is unquestioned, but that a
new and a great demand for silver
would arise under free coinage Is an
equal certainty. To say that such de,
mand cannot be foreseen is absurd. It
can be foreseen, and so also can be fore
seen a decreased demand for gold, fall
in the value of that metal and rise
in gold prices. That such would be the
effects of free silver coinage cannot be
fairly questioned, the only question open
to dispute being as to the extent Of the
rise in silver and fall in gold that would
follow the reopening of our mlnts to
free silver coinage. That this mutual
approach of gold and silver would go
so far as to secure the restoration and
maintenance of the parity between gold
and silver at our present mint ratio we
do not doubt. II 1t did not the injurious

A Plea for the Forests.

New York Tribune: The lumber in
dustry cannot, of course be abolished.
But 1t is high time such regulations were
adopted and ngidly enforced as will pre-
vent the utter destruction of forests.
That is entirely possible. Not the mere
amount of lumber cut, but the amount
destroyed, wasted by careless and inju-
dicious methods, is what most counts.
Every one who has visited a great lum-
ber camp knows that more material is
destroyed than is sent to market. The
smaller trees, not large enough for mar
ketable timber, are regarded as mere
encumbrances, to be slashed and burned
and got out of the way in whatever
fashion may be readiest. The ground is
thus entirely cleared. The beds of moss
and leaf-mold, hitherto perennial reser>
voirs of moisture, are dried up. The soil
and rocks are exposed, and the country
transformed into a desert What should
be done is evident. The small trees
should be carefully preserved, so that
they may in turn grow to full size, and
meantime shade the ground and preserve
the forest conditions. LAUNDERING should
in brief mean a judicious thinning out,
not wholesale destruction, of the forest.

THE SPEAKERS POWER,

There was never seen in this coun-
try and in Federal politics such an
exhition of individual power as the
present speaker exercises. Croker
used to exercise such power in
Tamany Hall. Platt used such
power over the Republicans of New
York. Mr.. Reeds dominance is
that of the "boss" manifested in the
hall OF the house of representa-
tives as Croker and Platt have man
Tested it in the primaries and con-
ventions and in the government OF
of the state OF New York. There
is no longer any real deliberation or
any real debate in the house OF
representatives, Some speeches
are made therefor the speaker
permits a little oratory, in order
that his followers may maintain the
semblance Of self-respect-but the
fate OF important bills is generally
settled in the speakers room when
the order for their consideration is
drawn. Perhaps the present tyr
rany Of the speaker and this sup
preston of the house Of represent
atiyes Is not wholly an evil, CALLING
as 1t must be to some Of the mem-
bers to submit entirely to Mr.,
Reeds will. Before Mr.. Reed APP
piled his crude and masteriul meth
DDS to legislative proceedings the
house was practically at the mercy
of the minority and when the mi
nority wished It could absolutely
