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

Prof. Darwin said that II 1t 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 Ghent. has
carried out a 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, 1t ap-
pears undefined-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike.

silver Market Boosted by Colorado
Mon.

The increasing price In silver prom
ises to restore Colorado to the proud
place occupied before the panic OF '93.
II Is said that the rise In silver from 4S
cents an ounce in December, 1909, to
nearly 10 cents an ounce to-day, Ia tho
result of the sl<illful marketing of the
white metal in this country and
abroad. Nearly all the silver product
of the United States and Mexico is
sold through the American Smelling
and Refining Company. and authorities
on the metal market assert that this
and Refining Company, managed by
the Guggenheims, and authorities on
the metal market assert that this
company has been conducting such a
judicious campaign In the worlds
markets, which will probably send sill
yer to rs cents an ounce before many
months.
Apparent verificatlon OF this state
ment Is found in the steady upward
movement of silver since its price
touched bottom and a heavy blow was
dealt to the smelling industry. as we'll
as the entire West Silver's average
price In 1901 was 5S.97 cents, in 1902 it
was 52.16. in 1903 it was 53.57 cents.
and In 1904 1t averaged 57.32 cents.
In 1905 the average price was 60.35
Schts, anu ioi tut iIst tiEuL InOntnS OF
this year the average has been 60.35
cents. The increasing price and
steadiness of the market for silver In
dicates that some powerful influence
is behind It rather than the usual fluc-
tuating demand from customary
sources.
The American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company suffered severely from
the decline In silver. as the output OF
the mining districts was necessarily
curtailed. Under the new conditions,
silver mines in such famous old camps
as Aspen. Leadville. Ouray. Creede, Sill
verton, Telluride. Rico, Georgetown
and Idaho Springs will spring into
activity again. Prospecting for silver
will be resumed. and new mines added
to the long list that In Colorado's
palmy days of silver mining made the
state famous. 1t is said that the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany has been working for dozen
years to SO influence the worlds sill
yer market that the great volume OF
business lost when the panic of '93
came. might be restored. It is a glor-
ious thing for Colorado that the com
pany is meeting with so much success
in its efforts.
