WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof Darwin said that If it had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that Of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, SO
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, have produced the gay flowers Of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Client, has
carried out series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in the connection he Is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
in flowers to insects-as yet, it ap-
pears undefined-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

UNCLE SAM STEPS IN
u. 8. GVERNMENT FOR ISLE OF
PINES.
TAKE OVER ANOTHER ISLAND
American Provisional Government to
Depose the Cuban
Mayor.

Havana.-With the establishment
of a provisional government in Cuba
the mayor of the Isle of Pines
will be recalled and an American pro
visional government established there.
Many attempts have been made by
americans on the Isle of Pines to
overthrow the Cuban control of the
island. Delegations have visited
Washington, and actual war was threat
ened at the time. The Americans
claimed they were in the majority on
the island and that, therefore, they
should have American government
The island will be taken over by the
United States should Cuba be annexed.
Only the mode of government of the
Isle of Pines will be changed, other
wise the island will remain a Cuban
possession.
That the island remain under con-
troll of the Cuban government was pro-
vided for in the treaty now pending
in the United States senate.

SW|TCHMEN WON'T STRIKE
so SAYS GRAND MASTER OF
BROTHERHOOD OF TRAINMEN.
Declares Men At Large Switching
Centers Will Not Recognize
Strike Call.

Cleveland-P. H. Morrissey, grand
master of the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen, in discussing
published reports from Chicago that a
strike of switchmen from the Pacific
coast to Buffalo, N. Y, was contem-
plated, said:
I'm my opinion this talked-of strike
is very improbable. The Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen represents the
large majority of the switchmen in
Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City and
other large switching centers, and
these men will not recognize strike
call from the Switchmen's union. The
switchmen affiliated with the train
mems brotherhood know that they
have a capable organization, and will
attend to their affairs in the same
deliberate, business-like way they have
always done. Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen includes in its mem
bership 10000 switchmen. I believe
the Switchmen's union has but one
fourth of that number.
"Switchmen are entitled to more
pay per hour and shorter working
uays, and believe they will get them.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men has mad Inis proposition for more
pay and shorter hours for the switch
men under consideration for some
time, and it is going through the usual
methodical channels

Washington, d. C.-Conscience-
stricken, Rev. James r. Slayton, Jr.,
presented himself to the assistant Sec
rotary of the navy and asked that he
be arrested for deserving the navy 5
years ago. Slayton said that his con-
version to religion and service as q
minister of the gospel caused him to
see the wrong he had done in leaving
the service, and he requested that
he be tried for the crime. He was
accompanied to the navy department
by officers of the Salvation Army,
with whom he has been associated in
religious work. Mr.. Newberry referred
Slayton to Capt Wilson. who is in
charge of enlisted men.
After hearing Slayton's story, the
captain ordered him to report at the
Washington navy yard, and surren-
der himself to officers, who would
put him in prison and hold him for
court-martial.
AYE, aye, sir. I will report there
on my honor. sir" Slayton replied, as
he saluted the officer, and backed
away from him.
An hour later Slayton reported to
the navy yard.
At the navy yard the commandant
told Slayton he could not be held be-
cause of the statue of limitation. Stay
ton left the navy yard with Brig. Gen.
Little, of the Salvation Army, and
together they conducted meeting on

crowd of his misfortunes.

America has so much Undeveloped
land that natural and Anmolested
parks can be found all through the
country. But in time this may be a
thickly populated country, and then
our posterity will feel the wisdom of
their fathers in setting aside forever
extensive preserves in the interests
of patriotic memory, of beauty and of
recreation. Two such preserves of re-
cent establishment are the Platt Ma
tional park in Oklahoma and the Mac
donough National park in Lake Cham
plain, on the Isle st. Michael. In the
Lake Champaign park lie buried the
Americans and British who fell in the
battle of September II, 1914.
