COMING A WORD.

The Washington Star tells as follows
the interesting story of the coming of
word by a. newspaper man:
The old proof reader was holding
forth upon the question of typograph-
zeal errors and their occasional influ-
ence on posterity. 'The word hood
lum' is an instance of this" he said,
as he knocked the ashes out of his
pipe. "Out in San Francisco % years
ago there was notorious character
named Muldoon, who was the leader
Of aggang of young ruffians. They were
terror to the community, and about
as tough a lot of citizens as you could
find on the Coast. A reporter who had
been assigned to story in which they
had figured, undertook to coin a word
designating the gang. He reversed the
name of the leader, and referred to
them as 'Noodlums.' The compositor
mistook the for an b. and as hood
lums the word passed the proof reader.
And now 'hoodlum' is recognized
word, and will probably survive An
other instance which I recall shows
how even an actress may accept as in
evitable the error of a compositor.
You may not know that Ada Rehan's
real name is Ada Crehan, but such is
the case. On the occasion Of her first

FRAGRANCE OF FLOWERS.
Still Subject of Discussion Among
Scientists

Still a Subject of Discussion Among
Scientists.
The great leading object in nature in
providing nectar and fragrance in
flowers is still a subject of discussion
in scientific journals, says the New
York Independent. That some flowers
are unable to fertilize themselves and
must have the aid of insects is certain;
and it is also certain that in many
cases this fertilization is accomplished
by the insect while on foraging expedi-
tons for the sweets which flowers fur
nish. But these well-ascertained facts
cover but a small portion of the
ground.
The fertilization is as often accom-
plished by insects in search of pollen
as in search of honey; but it is not
contended that pollen is given to flow
ers in order to make them attractive
to insects, as is said of the sweet secre-
tons. 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 direction, new class of facts
is being recorded.
In California grows a lupine Gu
pine confertus) which often takes ex-
elusive possession of large tracts of
land. 1t 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 power
full that the traveller notes it long be-
fore he meets with the growing plants
The pollen-collecting insects visit the
flower in great numbers. 1t is believed
that cross fertilization 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 for in
sect aid-as the other numerous spe-
cies of lupine which have no fragrance
are as freely visited by bees for 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 phil
Osophical questions involved. Fra
grant flowers are the exception, not
the rule. In some families of plants
where there may be several scores OF
species only one or two are fragrant
This has been especially noted among
the wild species of violet. But no one
has so far been able to note the slight
est advantage in life economy which
the sweet-scented ones possess over
the Odorless ones

Miss Rosalind Young Again Re.
stored to Health.
A great many people in Honolulu
have read Miss Rosalind Young's book
Pitcairn" She was born on that ISL
and, was a descendant of one of the
mutineers of the Bounty and being
an intelligent woman produced work
that deserves to rank with similar pro-
auctions by the best authors. Miss
Young was here about a year ago.
She has an interesting, attractive per-
sonality and made friend and ad-
mlrer Of everyone with whom she came
in contact. She was then Ell route to
the States for medical treatment. Those
who knew her will be pleased to learn
that her health was quite restored. She

and then went under the care of the
experts at Battle Creek Mich 1t was
there she was pronounced cured. Miss
Young is now the guest of a Pennsyl-
Vania lady who took great interest
in her and will not let her return to
Pitcairn till next year. This remark
able woman came to Honolulu from the
Colonies. Up to very short time
prior to her arrival here she had of
course never seen such a thing as a
railway, electric light, tram car, tele-
phone or engine. Through it all she
was undemonstrative and showed q
range of knowledge gained by reading
that was little less than marvellous.
Very much of the story of Pitcairn as
told by her, while known to be his
torically correct, reads like a romance
of the Middle Ages. The Burgesses and
several others of Honolulu are quite
intimate with Miss Young and hear

A Model Plant Is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators, Flows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from 10 to
20 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
