OUR DEBTTO BUwmBLE-BoES.
The Part They Play in the Fertili-
zation of Flowers.
Barney Hoskiu Standish writes an
article on “The Bumble-Bee” for the
June St. Nicholas. Mr. Standish says:
“The work of the bumble-bee in bring-
ing about the cross-fertilization of flow-
ers is as important as that of the hon-
ey-bee, and these two stand at the
head of the list of insects useful in
this respect. Each has its flowers
which it alone visits, but there are
many flowers on neutral ground, visit-
ed by both. So we may say of the bum-
le-bee, as of the honey-bee, the more
bumble-bees the more seed; the more
| seeds the more flowers—especially wild |
flowers, as the tall bell-flower, touch- |
me-not, Solomon’s seal gentian, Dutch- |
men’s-breeches and turtle-head. But
|
:
| probably the most important work this
insect does for agriculture is upon the
fields of red clover. There is abandant
| prool that this plant will not produce |
bumble-bee. It is impossible for the |
wind to bring about the fertilization of |
the seed, as it may do in the case of |
| Indian corn, grain and some forest |
trecs. The tube of red clover blossoms
| too, is so long that other insects (in-
cluding the honey-bee) are not regular
visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumble-bee. This
insect is not a native of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumble-bees were imported. As
soon as they became numerous the
plant could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop of
the ‘medium red clover’ of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumble-bees in the field, so early in
the season, to produce fertilization;
hence little or no seed in this crop. If
bumble-bees were sufliciently numer-
ous there is no reason why much larger
yields of clover seed might not be ex-
pected than at present.”
Here is what a well informed farmer
says about it:
“It was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas.
I can prove that its prosperity rests on
the shoulders of the bumble-bee. The
! world cannot prosper without the farm-
| ers’ product. The farm will not be pro-
ductive without’ clover. We cannot
raise clover without seed, and we can-
not have clover seed without the bum-
ble-bee, because it is this insect that
{ carries-the pollen from flower to flow-
er, securing its development and con-
tinuance. Let us learn to know and
protect our friends.”

Navy Sup-
plement.
The Scientific lmerican, which has al-
ways been identified itself very closely
with the interests of the Navy, is to be
congratulated on the extremely hand-
some and valuable “Navy Supplement”
which it has lately put before the pub-
lic. We think that,if the average read-
er had been asked beforehand what
kind of a work he would prefer upon
the Navy, he would have asked for just
such an issue as this.
Joth the illustrations and the read-
ing matter are of the straightforward
| explanatory kind which is necessary to
[ put a technical subject clearly before
the lay mind. Tt was a happy thought
to preface the work with a chapter up-
on the classification of warships and in-
| sort a few diagrams by way of explana-
{tion of the subtle differences between
| after digesting this chapter one is pre-
pared to follow intelligently the detail-
ed descriptions of the various ships
which make up the bulk of the issue.
| One of the best things about this num-
| ber is that it does 10! merely give an
external illustration of each ship, but |
it takes the reader down below decks,
and initiates him into the mysteries of
the magazines, handling rooms, ammu-
nition hoists and motive machinery.
The scetional views of the interior of
the turrets of the monitors are excep-
tionally fine, ns are the large wood en-
| gravings of the engines of the “Massa-
| ehusettes.” The last page of the num-
ber contains complete tables of the
new Navy, the auxiliary fleet and the
various naval guns. A handsome col-
ored map of Cuba and the West Indies
is furnished with this issue. We extend
our congratulations to our contempo-
rary on the production of a work which
is well conceived and admirably car-
ried out. This work is published by
Munn & Co., of 361 Broadway, New
York, for 25 cents.

"A Letter From the Editor’s Brother.
Los ANGELES, CaL., June 15, ’98.
Dear Broruer:—I notice by THE
Star received to-day that mother is
growing very feeble. I have about
| made up my mind to make » supreme
effort to see Lier before it is too late.
If my plans do not misearry, I expect
to start east not later than July 1st.
Please let her know at once that it is
my intention to come to see her as
{soon as I can, as the prospect of the
vicit may help to buoy her up. If, on
| the other hand, she should pass away
before I get started, please telegraph
| tie fact, as in that event 1 wonld aban-
i
seed without the co-operation of the |
| éon the trip. I would like very much
to come to vieit you all. I feel, Row)
ever, like making the sacritice of a
year’s savings in order to see mother
once more before she dies, and.f she is
spared a few weeks longer I expect to
gee her. My fan.ily will probably ac-
company me as far only as Chicago,
and my visit to the old home will have
to be brief, as I must return to my
work here as soon as possible.
I congratulate you on the splendid
victory you won at the late primaries.
The three K’s—Koontz, Kooser and
Kendall—are all
heart, and I was glad to see them win.
I think Somerset county is very fortu-
nate to get a man of Gen. Koontz’s
calibre to run for the Assembly. I was
| ;
surprised that he would consent to
stand for the nomination, and I dare |
say he entered the race ouly from mo- |
tives of patriotism.
The editor of our paper, the Ios An-
geles Times, Gen. II. G.
made commander of one of the brigades
Otis, has been
going to the Philippines, and most of |
the members of the Times staff are anx-
ious to go:with him, but so far only a
few have succeeded in getting in any-
where.
would try to get in the service somne-
where, most likely in the engineer corps _|
but I am afraid T would be rejected on
the physical examination, inasmuch as |
I am at least ten pounds underweight
for my height. Knowing that there
are so many better men physically than
myself anxious to take a hand in the
war, I have made no serious effort to
enlist. However, I believe I would
have enough patriotism to offer my
services, if I thought I was needed and
there was a probability of being ac-
cepted.
Hoping to see you soon, or to hear
from you in the near future, I remain

He never did no ser’us crimes.

In spasms, an’ they used to tire

Would take a tumble by and ny.

This is a story an Alabama man tells
me of Bishop Wilmer, and I hope you
won't think it too sectional. It happen-

| for a Confederate ophans’ home he was
| interested in. He hadn’t been north
i for several years, and his old friends
gave him a hearty welcome. There was
a dinner in his ltonor, and after dinner
the bishop was begged to tell a story or
two. The bishop said he hadn’t a story.
“But,” he added, “I’ve got a conun-
