If recent statistics are to be relied
upon the number OF men-high- placed
o:ficers-in both services who do not
smoke would bear out the theory that
smoking is going out of fashion in the
British army and navy. 1t appears that
the majority of naval officers are con-
tent. like the French and Russians.
With an occasional cigaret OF course
there are exceptions. The army has no
officer who is q more inveterate smoker
than was the late General Gordon, who
was miserable unless he had an ample
supply of cigarats Thus among the
non-smokers are found Lord Roberts
General Mackinnon. General Sir Rede-
vers Butler and General Ciatacre.

II has loug been 4 mooted question
whether insects are attracted to flowers
by the bright hues OF the petals or by
the oder Of the flowers, and recent eX-
periInents carried out on quite an ex-
tensive scale seem TO indicate that the
perfume is the essential directive agent.
1t is concluded that insects are guided
from a distance 10 masses of flowers by
their perfume alone. but that where
flowers are grown singly insects are at
tracted generally by color, and where
the distance is small The odor doubtless
assists in attracting and directing the
movements Of the flying insects.
