flowers the honey was secreted in cav ities out of reach of ordinary flies, and only highly organized insect could perform the ceremony. The markings of the nasturtium, the yellow hair at the base of the perianth leaves of the iris, and the lines in the throat of the violet, were simply signs or directions indicating to the insect exactly where he would find the honey. In orchids and other flowers there were platforms for insects to stand on while getting the nectar. Aristolochia were like lobster pots, the interior of the tube being furnished with hairs pointing inward, so that an insect could go in quite easily, though how to get out again was quite another story.
 Last Friday appear to have great ly shocked the representative of the Daily News, and this evening am go- ing anu try to shock him more. The reporter wrote that had said: Flow CTS put on gorgeous hues to attract in- sects just as girls who wish to attract attention wear bright dresses and now listen to what the Daily News re- marked Poets nave said many pretty things about the petals of a flower. One even likened a young la- dy's nose to this dainty object of na- ture.' Laughter Prof. Bottomley gives us a more prosiac view of their purpose. They are, it seems, simply advertisements signifying to insects, Nectar kept here. Please enter They might be likened, he saio, to the signs outside public houses
 There were flowers, the arums in particular the professor-that deliberately make flies tipsy. Laughter Flies found sweet drops of honey upon the green surface, and further on they found sweeter drops. The liquor became stronger and stronger. Not quite knowing what they were doing, the insects went through the "lobster-pot" hairs, and Il the in- ner chamber they found an extra special champagne With the result that the wretched little creatures tumbled about and knocked their heads against the sticky surface of the seed box But when the visitors had in their drunkenness done what was required of them, the lobster pot" hairs withered and so left open the door. But, alas! for the deprayity of insects. Recovering their senses in the fresh air, they saw other arum public houses, and, not having learned wisdom from their drunken bout, in they went for another spree. IA hush of pained surprise.l

CHEMISTS REPORT
 IN THE RICE CASE
Declares the Millionaire Was
 Poisoned With Mercury
PATRICK FACES MURDER
Affidavit Charges That Albert T. Pat. rick Caused MT. Rice to Take Large Quantities of Poison
 and Other Fatal Drugs.

New York. February N.-Prof. Sud- loff. the chemist, has made verbal re- port, supplementary to his first report and preliminary to his final report to the District Attorney, in which he decleres that enough mercury and other poisons were found In the stomach of William M. Rice to kill him.
 An affidavit charging Albert T. Patrick with murder in the first degree, was sub mitted to Justice Jerome, with an appli- cation for a warrant for Patriek's rear rest. The Justice issued the warrant and 1t will be served should bail be accepted on the forgery charge.
 The affidavit Is made by Charles F. Jones and reads that on the 23d day of September, 1900 at No. 800 Madison ave- nue, New York, he was employed by Will liam M. Rice, who also resided at the same address, as private Secretary and companion; that on the 23d day of Sep tember. 1900, Albert T. Patrick caused the said William M. Rice to take a large quantity of deadly poison, called mer- cury. and divers other deadly poisons. The affidavit then charges that Rice's death was due to these polsons."
 Another affidavit Is made by Prof Wit ,thaus, who, being sworn, says: '1 re- ceived the viscera there as they were taken from the body of said William M Rice. I thereafter made a chemical analy- sis of portion and discovered the pres ence of mercury.
 '1 have also read the foregoing affidavit and information of Charles F. Jones. In view of the results of my analysis, in the absence of intercurrent cases of death, It Is my opinion that If the said affidavit and information Is true, the deceased, w. M. Rice, died of mercurial poisoning.
 Patrick was taken before Judge McMa- hon In the court of general sessions. His counsel asked that the judge cause an or der to be issued so he could get back the S10,0O0 cash deposited with the city cham berlain yesterday to ball Patrick. The Judge issued the necessary order and Patrick was taken back to the Tombs.
