HAS A FINE RECORD.

Colonel John c. Dodge was the first
commander of the Fifty-second regi-
ment, formerly known as the Luzerne
regiment, from the fact that it was
raised principally in the Lackawanna
and Wyoming valleys. This regiment
made a splendid record during the War
of the Rebellion, both under McClel-
Ian on the Peninsula, and later at
Charleston, S. c.
The colonel has written the commit
tee of arrangements that he will surely
meet with the survivors of his old
regiment at their tenth reunion, Thurs
day, and as this will be the first meet
ing since the war of the colonel and
those who are left of the boys who
marched and fought under him during
those perlous times, he will undoubt-
edly have a royal welcome when he
comes.
We append here a correct list of the
survivors of the regiment now resi-
dents of Scranton, that has been hand
ed us by William McClave, chairman
of the committee of arrangements:

In the remaining tribe of the or
chids, the vandeae, there are two pol
len masses to each flower attached by
strong elastic cords to the pedicel
which connects them with an adhesive
disk. So the pollen of one flower can
fertilize at most only two others, and
usually it fertilizes but one. AS OAR

torn off during the active motions of
the usually powerful insects 10 which
it becomes attached. The strength Of
these elastic cords is such that in ar
tificially fertilizing a flower by plac-
ing the pollen on the stigma they are
apt to be pulled out again if the disk
and pedicel to which they are at

that an insect would be apt to move
off sideways and the friction against
the sides of the stigma, together with
it's adhesiveness, are together suffi-

place for insects But the hinge-like
base of this organ responds to touch
upon it's tip as a steel trap responds
to nibble at the bait, the whole
gangway swiftly rises, hurting the in
cautious insect into the flower and
then closing the entrance like door,
remaining thus for half an hour. A
narrow passage is left above for the
escape of the insect, so placed and
arranged that the insect will be duly
smeared with glue and decorated with
one or more pollinia before it can re-
gain it's freedom. Upon it's visiting
another flower it will be again i'm
prisoned, will escape by the narrow
passageway, the pollen will be left up
on the stigma and the fertilization will
be-thus affected. One observer cut off
this trap door arrangement from a
dozen flowers so that visiting insects
were not compelled to crawl through
the narrow passage provided for their
escape and not one of these flowers
produced a pod.
A Guatemalan orchid, the sobralia,
keeps an unlicensed dram shop for it's
customers, which seem to be humble
bees. A bumblebee entered a flower
of this snowy orchid growing in a
British dollhouse; when she emerged
the large pollen masses were sticking
tail. The bee looked about and seeing
no other flower reentered the same
one, took another dram and soon re-
tired minus her decoration and in a
disgraceful state of intoxication. She
stretched out her legs and lay for a
time on the lip of the flower as if
dead, but finally recovered her senses
and flew away.

that the pollen cannot possibly be
pushed back into one of the flowers.
After few days the column moves so
as to give a wider space SO that they
can be readily fortified. This in
sures the transfer of the pollen from
one plant to another for the bees that
frequent the flowers always begin at
the older blooms at the bottom of the
spike and work their way up to the
just expanded ones at the top. Thus
the pollen is carried from those at the
top to the older flowers of the next
plant visited.
In the twayblade, an orchid of our
northern woods, when the crest at the
tip of the column is touched ever so
lightly, even by human hair, little
drop of liquid is shot out almost with
a little explosion. In two or three
seconds the drop sets hard, cementing
the pollenia to the intruder. The in
sects alight on the lip of the flower
and lick up the nectar slowly
