Love and Fate Figure in Side

Mr.. Fred Islington was not referred
to In the papers as a Napoleon of
finance, but yet he held responsible
and well.paid position in an important
bank.
Miss May Cranston was not men,
toned as q second Patti. but 1t was
admitted that she had fine voice
for song, and might some day become
an operate star.
It would seem to the logical reason.
err that Mr.. Islington and Miss Gran

lines, and not have been tempted into
risks. He took a few lessons in draw
ing. fitted up a garrett studio and then
went into turning out landscapes in
his spare hours They were not Corots
nor Rembrandts. He, was satisfied
for the time being, to play second lid

Miss Cranston selected sculpture as
her side-line. She worked Oh ice
cold butter. The same was As cents
pound, but cheaper at that than
marble. Butter is also much easier
to cut. She didn't astound the whole
United States. but she was content
to feel that every time she finished a
new bust there was a decided gain
1t was a diversion now. but the profits
would come later on.
One day. at the house Of friend
Mr. Islington was shown a butter bust
Of what was called George Washing

that 1t could just as well have been
called Nero. Columbus. Napoleon oil

is always in a good-natured way.

OF serious consequence. Is 1t the wind
or our common honey bee that does
the work?
From observations made the past
few years 1t is evident that bees play q
most important part in the fertiliza-
ton of the blossoms. To arrive at
some definite conclusions as to how
much pollen is transmitted through
the air by the wind, experiments have
been carried on in several states to
determine this question. These ex-
periments demonstrated beyond doubt
that plum pollen as well as pollen OF
several species of apples experimental
upon is not transmitted through the
air in sufficient quantities to in.
sure cross.pollination. Hence. the wind
cannot be relied upon as an agency to
transfer pollen from tres to tree
throughout the orchard.
That the honey-bee is not attracted
to the blossom by the infiorescence
has also been shown. 1t is apparent

aid materially In attracting the bees.
The blossom is well supplied with
nectar. and the open character of the
nectary makes 1t accessible to almost
all insects. The bees. in trying to
reach the nectar, brush against the
anthers and carry away with them on
their hairy legs and abdomen large
quantities of pollen. The insects in
visiting other blossoms transfer some
Of the foreign pollen to these pistils.
Since the wind aids SO little In cross
pollination. it is evident that the vari.
GUS insects. especially the bees, are
carriers Of pollen.
AS the assurance OF a crop depends
upon insects as distributors of the
pollen. It is necessary that apiaries be
established in the different fruit Sec
lions. With favorable climatic condi-
lions and proper planting Of varieties
the bees would insure pollination.
