There is still another reason why we

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

Capt Usina Found on His Recent
Trip TO Havana That Few Ameri-
can Vessels visit That POrt-A Ma
fority of Vessels in Port There
Were Norwegfans. with a Sprink-
ling of British Tramps-Matters of
Interest to shippers and Mariners.
Capt NJ P. Usina. treasurer of the
Pilots Association, has returned from his
trip to Havana. He was accompanied by
his family and all had a very pleasant
outing.
cit is noticeable that American vessels
are not doing much business with Hia-
vana," said Capt Usina, in speaking of
his trip. Il made it my business to OBJ
serve and inquire about what steps. II

business relations with those islands, and
Judging from the few American vessels
S, en- in. the harbor of Havana, it does
not appear that much has been accom-
plished yet in this direction. 1 noticed
number of British tramps there. The Nor
wegians. the locusts of the seas, were
decidedly in the majority, however The
tramps take coal to Havana, and carry
away sugar and the many other products
of the islands. Spanish vessels seem to be
trading considerably with Havana and the
island towns.
business men of Havana apparently
carry large stocks in their respective
lines" the captain said This was shown
in a little story heard while there of an
American merchant whe called to offer
his goods to a Havana dealer Judging
from the appearance of things about the
entrance, which was small, the American
thought he had a scantily supplied Gus
toner to deal with. On being shown back,
however, he found the man not only had
carloads but train loads of stuff stored
away This ehagrined the American who
made no further efforts to do business
there"
Capt. Us'na thinks Americans can only
get their share Ct business in those Is
lands by pushing ahead for it. As the
merchant marne follows the paths made
for Il by business men, he hopes to see
stems taken that will create a demand for
freight ROOM and hence warrant Ameri-
cans in establishing lines of steamships
between this country and the islands.
The little Nassau schooner Fearless was
hauled cut on Wiuink's marine railway
yesterday for repairs After coming off it
is understood she will load general
cargo for return trip.
The schooners Iona Tunnel, Mary Lee
Patton and the George Taulane, Jr., have
finished loading lumber for Northern ports
and will probably proceed out to-day.

Value of Color :. Flowers.

The colors of flowers ars 5ov;oos hr
which insects are enabled to f1n5 and
fertlllze them. WithoutAa<vv"~E1TSect
visits many plants would be unable to
form seed, ard would cease to exist.
The common red clover, for example,
II protected from insects by nets, will
set no seed. Many gaps would thus
be formed, and the surviving species,
striving to occupy the vacant space,
would widely alter the present distri-
button OF plants, and stimulate the
production of new forms. Further,
without colored flowers, the insects
that live on plant nectar could find no
food, and many species of bees, but.
terfies and moths would die out. The
result of this extinction would be far
reaching both for gain and loss. We
might cease to obtain honey, but, on
the other hand, the depredations of
hosts of ravenous grubs, the Larvae of
moths and butterflies, would come to
an end, while such birds as are now
dependent for their food upon
these insects would perish. Far
reaching, indeed, you'd be the effects
produced in the complex system of
nature by the loss of color in flowers.
iChe tame and neutral aspect of our
forests and gardens would be among
the least important of resulting
changes.
