FOQKfn& a Critic.

What can be more mirth provoking
than the naive simplicity with which
pompous critic, who prides himself
on his lynx eyed acuteness, will some
times walk into a trap that has been
set for him? When Alexander Pope
was translating Homer he read by re-
quest several books Of the 'Tliad'' to
Lord Halifax, whom he characterizes
as literary coxcomb, at his house
During the reading his lordship sew
eral times stopped the poet and sug-
gested that certain passages might be
improved. Perplexed and irritated by
the advice, the poet withdrew with
Garth, who laughed heartily at the in
cident, and told him to leave the verses
just as they We're, to call on Halifax
month later, thank him for his crit
icisms and then read again the verses
to- him unaltered. Pope followed this
advice, saying to Halifax that he hoped
his lordship would now find his objec-
lions removed, upon which Halifax, de-
lighted, cried out: AYE, now they are
perfectly right. Nothing can be better -

Professor Darwin said that If it had
not been for insects we should never
have had any more imposing or attrac-
tive flowers than those of the elm, the
hop and the nettle. Lord Avebury
compares the work of the insect to
that Of the florist. He considers that
just as the florist has by selection pro-
duced the elegant blossoms Of the gar
den, so the insects by selecting the
largest and brightest blossoms for fer
tilization have produced the gay flow
ers Of the field Professor Plateau of
Client has carried out series Of re-
markable experiments on the ways OF
insects visiting flowers. He considers
that they are guided by scent rather
than by color, and In this contention
he Is at variance with certain British
naturalists. Whatever may be the at
fractions in flowers to insects-as yet
it appears 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 blooms like those OF the
currant, the lime, the plane tree, the
aettle and the willow.

Water Pipes and Freezing.

Housekeeners as rule do not under
stand why it is the hot water pipe
Is the first to freeze in very cold wealth
er. They think that it ought to be the
other way around-that hot water
ought to Withstand the low tempera-
ture longer than cold water will. That
does seem reasonable, but little in
vestigation shows us that 1t is not Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place, the boiling Of water expels the
air from 1t, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with it's air. In the
second place, there Is always a slight
agitation on the surface Of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sisting the crystals to change their po-
sition until they assume that most ia
vorabIe to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small
er globules by. reason Of the heat, and
less resistance Is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

those who robbed themselves of sleep
