1t has been asserted that insects are
particularly attracted by the colors of
certain flowers. Felix Plateau. after
investigating the conduct of insects in
their visits to various flowers con-
cludes that while they may perceive
colors and thus be enabled to distin-
guish, at p djltsnce. between flowers
and leaves. yet they show no prefer
ence amorg the different colors. Blue,
rcd, yellow, white are indifferent to
them. He thinks that the odor of
flowers affec.s insects more than their
colors dc.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1900-12-16

The French scientific journal, La
Nature, calls attention to a recent re-
port of the French Consul at Hawaii
which, it thinks. throws light on some
problems of ethnography. Not long
ago a little schooner. dismantled and
with its rudder gone as the result of a
tempest, was drifted by winds and
ocean currents from Tahiti to Hawaii
after eighty-one days of helcless wan
dering. Hawaiian traditions declare
tlat in ancient DAYS people came from
Tahiti. drifting with the currets, and
settled Hawaii. The adventure of the
dismaltled schocner seems to prove
the possibility Of such a migration,
and it is suggested that the currents of
the Pacific. which have not yet been
sufficiently studied. may throw much
light on the distribution of the native
races among the island groups.

SEASON, OF 1900.
Bright Prospects For North Carolina
Truckers.
lMonnt Olive Adyertiser.l


Assuming that the season viii be ia
Vorable, the present outlook warrants the
prediction that the truckers will enjoy
during 1900, one Of the most prosperous
years in the history Of the industry.
Ihe strawberry crop will be fully as
farge this season as last year. but with
the substantial reduction that has bee j
made III freight rates. and the superior
refrigeration service that is assured by
the advent of the Fruit Growers Ex-
press, the entire crop should l5e harvested
at profitable figures. Last year 10000
crates of berries rotted in the fields that
would have been shipped had the freight
rates been even as low as those scheduled
for 1900. The short acreage at South
western competitive points will no doubt
create such Il demand for North Caro-
line berries in Western markets. that it
will effectually offset any tendency on
CLINT at Eastern points. The outlook
is very bright indeed for berry growers
the plants were never known to be in Il
better condition and all are more inclined
than ever to strive to obtain quality
rather than quantity of product.
The Irish potato crop, large as 1t was
last year, will lie greatly increased THIS
season. if the extensive preparations be-
ing made 10y dealers in guano and seed
potatoes are q safe guide on which TO
base an opinion.

DOTH CENTURY MOVEMENT.
The Meeting at Rocky Mount Ad-
dress by DR.. Kilgo.

Rocky NJ int, ~. C, Jan. 25.-(Stafe
THE Metnodists here
are holding a Twentieth Century meet
ing. Presiding Elder +. A. Bishop. OF
Wilmington, is presiding. 1t began
Tuesday morning and three sessions Il
day are held. Large congregations filled
the church. Among the preachers pres
emit last night were Revs. f. b. Mccall.
II. b. Anderson, II. A. TIMBER, j o.
Guthrie, ~. b. Belts, Il. r. Grant, J. ~
Roode.
The following is from Bishop Charles
b. Galloway:
Subscriptions to the Twentieth Century
fund should begin at once in every CON
ference and congregation. There has
been much discussion and seed-Sowing.
The beginning of the harvest is at hand.
We cannot longer postpone the active
and personal canvass for offerings with
out imperilling the great movement. In
every congreg CATION the work should be-
gin, however small the amount promised.
The gift of one will stimulate the de-
sire and stir the conscience of another.
reports from some sections of the
church are encouraging: others as yet
have done comparatively little. If pas
tors allow this matter to go on to next
year without beginning the canvass they
may expect humiliating results. En-
thusiastic leadership will assure an ar
dent and courageous following.
This conference being held is one of
the five to be held this week in this
State. The last general conference
adopted a resolution that one and a
half million dollars should be raised for
the Twentieth Century fund, and in re-
sponse to that resolution or call these
district educational meetings are held
DIR. j. c. Kilgo president of Trim

CATION last night on the Twentieth Cen
fury movement. He completely covered
the ground. Among other things he
said it was not the accumulation of
wealth that amounted to so much as the
man behind the money who knew how
10 use it for good; that he had more re-
sI'ect for the man who sits in the
pew with his pocket full of money and
does not know what to do with it than
he had for the timid preacher in the
pulpit who would not tell him what to
do with it. He advised the congrega-
ton not to go back hunting for who
were their antecedents. for they might
find out that they were ditch diggers
hod-carriers or wash women. He laid
down the proposition that in this free
republic all men were equal and EMIT
led to equal rights. provided they would
conduct themselves we'll
The conference will adjourn tonight.
The people here highly appreciate this

do) all in their power to make the stay
of all visitors pleasant and agreeable.

statements was the decrease in spring
sales in 1898 from 1897 and the increasl
in 1899 over both.
1t had been expected by many who
keep in touch with the States agricul-
ture that there would be a marked r.;
crease in fertilizer sales this spring rs q
result of the fight on the tobacco trust
and the recommendation that farmers
plant smaller crop, and also because.
Of the marked advance in the price o.;
fertilizers. 1t may be that there will be
decrease Of tobacco but if so the higher
price of cotton has led to such increased
purchases of fertilizers for that crop as
10 practically make up for it,
A feature of the situation also is the
scarcity OF fertilizers as compared with
previous years. In Georgia it is said
that the available supply Of fertilizers
has fallen from 1920 tons in 1899 to
100000 tons this year.
The mule trade. which is also usually
a good index to the size of the crop
about to be planted. is about the same
1t was last year.
Mules are higher this season and the
demand is for better class of animals
than usual, but there is no pereeptible
increase in the number sold. The in
crease in price is due to the fact that
there is big increase i'll the price Of
animals for use in the wars
