Flowers That Siqt1t.

Many plants aid flowers are provid-
ed with devices that protect them from
undesirable insects ana other enemies.
The cactus and other prickly plants
find their spikes an admirable protec-
ton. while several plants eNude a
sticky liquid which entangles insects
endeavoring to climb up the stem. AS
insects are useful to many flowers IN
conveying the pollen from the male TO
the female plants, provision is made TO
attract those insects which are capable
Of performing the service and to eN-
cluCe those which would be of no use
TO the flower. Several pale flowers,
for instance, which attract moths cN-
hale a fragrant odor only in the even
ing when the moths viii be abroad ana
be attracted thereby. In the day the
flowers close and thereby avoid the no
tice OF undesirable insects abroad at
that time. Certain plants of the dan
delion class actually have bodyguardS
of ants which repel the attacks of de
structlye beetles, the ants being re-
warded with a sweet nectar deposited
by the plant. New York American

BERLIN COMMENT OVER STORY
ABOUT PACIFIC FLEET.

BERLIN. July 4.-The reports ;.id de-
malls regarding American naval move
ments are printed conspicuously ana COM
indicating the tensity Of the relations be-
tween the United States and japan. Such
demonstration as the dispatch OF the
American fleet, or the greater part of 1t,
to the Pacific would. according 10 some
OF the German critics. result In Japan at
lacking any American vessels caught in
the Pacific. without waiting for the con-
centration OF the American warships.
The Japanese officers who recently
visited Germany with Admiral Yamamoto
and those attached to The Hague delsga-
ton to the peace conference. who spent
some weeks in Germany. placed no or
ders with the German ammunition or
small-arm factories. They were on the
lookout for new pachine guns, but did
not find any SO far as can be learned
They placed an order for some twelve
inch naval guns with the Krupps. but the
number ordered IL not disclosed These
guns take nine months to build and would
have been ordered in England had not
all the works there been fully occupied
with orders to supply the British and
Japanese war vessels now building in
British yards.
About l20 large guns are being con-
structed at English gun works for the
fitting out OF battleships of the Dread
nought type. each requiring ten instead
or four twelve-inch guns. The japanese
government 1t Is reported, does not care
to spend much money in GERMANY. but In
this instance 1t was obliged to order guns
from the Krupps. as they are the only
works in Europe of q sufficient capacity
to guarantee moderately prompt delivery
