GOUFING PHILOLOGY.
of Curious Terms Which Be-
lnnp. tn The Gnme

Derivation of Curious Terms Which be-
long to the Game.
To the enthusiastio golfer the game is
never out of season. Fitted with ARC
tie" goloshes and warm knitted
waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on
many n day which appears inelement to
the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard
Of snow and ice Is natural when one
comes to look up the derivation of golf
ing terms. Many of the words come di-
rectly from tho Icelandio languages,
others have synonyms in Gaelic or
Swedish.
Tho tee, or little nodule of gravel or
earth from which the golfer strikes off
his ball, Mt the beginning of each link,
Is derived from "tia, an Icelandic verb
signifying "to point out. "
Again, "golf" itself evidently comes
from the scandinavian "kolf, " "a club,
the Gaelic form being "oolb" and the
Ieelandic form being "kolfr'' "a clapper
of bell or bulb.
The "links" come straight from tho
Swedish "lynka, meaning twist"
or crook" hence its application to tho
windings of the coast, the sandy, barren
ground called links" in Scotland.
To put" pronounced putt comes
from the Gaelic put" signifying to
push or throw, as when the useful put
ter" propels the golf ball from the
putting green" into the hole.
The lofter" is derived from the Ice
landio "loft"-that is, shy or air--a
Danish form being "loft" for ceiling or
loft Philadelphia Inquirer.

To these honeyloss flowers But as soon
ns drop ut nectar WAS placed ON them
they visited them as freely as before.
Again, Professor Plateau made artificial
flowers with pieces of green leaf, each
furnished with "A little honey. These
were freely visited hy insects. But arti-
ilcial flowers made of culored material
were neglected, even when supplied
with honey.
In further support of his views Pro
fessor Plateau is able to bring forward
the following facts as to the habits of
insects i'll visiting flowers: They will
pass freely and with apparent inditfer-
ence from one color to another of va
rieties of the same species growing to-
gether in eur gardens; they visit great
number Of green and greenish colored
flowers; there are many small and in
conspicuous flowers which are also free
ly visited. Such is brief outline of
Professor Plateau'S observations and ex-
periments, from which he believes him
self justified iii drawing the conclusion
that sight plays very subordinate part
IN attracting insects to flowers Their
bearing on the theory of the insect origin
of flowers is obvious London Times

"The off horse has lost shoe from

as he drew up opposite wayside black

"By all means, replied the owner

When ne returned half all hour later,
he happened to glance at the side Of
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of his ourricle
and horses.
"Who drew that" he inquired.
THAT little frouzy head yonder, -
replied the blacksmith, pointing to "a
boy in homespun who was ehopping
wood in the dooryard opposite as if his
whole mind was occupied with his task.
"Halloo, my lad, called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air of one who has been caught i'll
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
"If ever you want to change your oocu-
patton and see life, just put clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this ad-
dress in New York. " and he crossed
the road to hand the boy a slip of paper.
The team was soon on its homeward
way, and in short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind Of Aaron
Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, servant brought him pack
age containing homemade clean shirt
and said that IA boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi-
cient Introduction. But the senator
could not understand its significance so
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius Of the

neither pains nor expense to give the

Ihty fertilixc Flowers For strictly ttili-

A correspondent writes: "Tho theory
of the origin of flowers by the selection
Of insects il one which has attracted
much attention both i'll scientific cir
oles and from the general public. Set
forth by Darwin III the Origin of Spo-
cies, it has boon largely developed in IA
series of interesting publications by Sir
John Lubbock and Mr.. Grant Allen.
Some fresh and interesting light has
now been thrown ON il by series of
experiments recently carried out by
Professor Plateau of the University of
Ghent. Professor Plateau has arrived Mt
the conclusion that insects are indiifor-
ent TO tho colors of the flowers they
visit, and that they are guided to them
in very subordinate way by sight
The experiments on which the Belgian
professor bases his farreaching conclu-
sions are briefly these; Having covered
the brightly colored flowers Of single
dahlias i'll his garden with bits of green
leaf, he found that they were still visit
ed by insects This seemed SO much Mt
variance with tho generally received
view that insects are attracted to flow
ers chiefly by their color that Professor
Plateau instituted prolonged series of
experiments and observations to put the
matter still further to the proof The
result has been to confirm and strength
en the conclusions drawn from the first
experiments Cutting off the brightly
colored oorollas of such flowers as To-
bella, evening primrose, foxglove, etc,
he found the remaining green parts
We're still visited. Again there are some
brightly eolored flowers which are sell
dom or never visited by insects owing
to their lack of honey. Notable among
these is the scarlet geranium of our gar
den. But when little honey was placed
ON geranium flowers bees came to them
at once, those blossoms which had not
received honey being passed over.
''Other conspicuous flowers were tried
i'll a similar way with like results The
experiment of removing the honey bear
ing parts of flower and leaving the
brightly colored part, which was sup
posed to be attractive, was also tried
with the single dahlia. Its inner fiorets
were removed, leaving the conspicuous
outer ones, piece Of yellow leaf being
placed in the center, No insects went
