WICKED WAYS OF FLOWERS.
They lntoxicate Insects, Murder Birds,
 And Guilty of Other Immoralities.

From the London News.
 At the London Institution Prof. w. B. Bottomley's second lecture on Flowers" dealt with their Insect vis- itors."
 The professor began by explaining that the shapes of flowers determine how the pollen shall be carried from one to the sticky part above the seed box of another. The carrying of the pollen was nothing less than the mar rying of the flowers, and the insect that carried the pollen was the par son. Among flower parsons there was as much difference as among human parsons. Dusky little gnats were the curates; brilliant butterflies were archbishops. Flower parsons, like hu- man parsons, wanted fees. The gnat was content with little bit of pollen, but the archipiscopal butterfly and the bee bishop demanded special nectar. Among human beings near relatives must not marry, and it was the same among flowers. In the buttercup, the bait" or fee" was in little glands at the base of the pedals, and flowers of that character could be married by many sort of insect parsons with short proboscides. In monkshood and other

tured seed-on stem, he explained that this time the bright color was trick to attract other creatures than insects. Alasl how treacherous wac the arum! It was anxious to have the seeds placed in sulrable soil, so we'll knowing that the berries were poison ous. It induced birds to eat them, whereupon each unsuspicious little songster died, and his body became small heap of decayed organic matter excellent soil and manure for the arum seed in the centre.
 Later the audience learned of the wonderful structure of the orchids, and of how insect visitors had footstcols to stand on while they put their heads through little windows; of how, in entering appertures, they impatiently knocked aside little obstructing knobs, and thereby all unknowingly moved a lever that flung pollen on their backs, and of how-but space does not allow of further allusion to discoveries with which-as Prof. Bottomley remarked, before wishing his audience a happy New Year-the name or Charles Oar win will forever be associated.

New Orleans, February N.-The age of the lilly Leana A has not yet been or ficially determined, and she started in the Lexington selling stake this after noon under protest.
