No Promises of Subscriptions to the Bond Issue. At yesterday’s conference between Soc: retary Carlisle and the bankers at Now York President Frederick D. Tappen of the Gallatin National Bank asked: “M>. | Secretary, it is the opinion of a majority of the New York bankers that your proposed issue of bonds will not. be a success. What will you do if it is not? How much do the subscriptions now amount to?” The Secretary replied concede that the issue will not be a success; I do not look forward to any such contin- gency. As to the amount of the subscrip- tions, I have not changed my mind with the figures, If the subscriptions run up to 000,000 I intend to sell that many bond: No promises of subscriptions were made by the bankers. The Secretary took lunch- eon at the Lawyers’ Club with ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles S. Fairchild and Assistant United States Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan, and left for Washington at 3:20 o'clock. The objection of the bankers to subscrib- ing for the bonds is that they carry no com- mission, as in former issues, and are sold at too high a premium for short term bonds. Before his departure Secretery Carlisle took precautions to avoid giving his im- pressions of the conférence. Neither would any of the ethers present enter into details of what took place, unless with the proviso that they were not to be quoted. One of the bank presidents, who was seen at his office in the afternoon, said that the conference had taken the shape of an in-| formal talk, and that Secretary Carlisle had spoken very freely on several points anent the $50,000,000 government bonds. He dwelt specially upon the legality of the issue, insisting that there was not the slightest doubt on that point, and that the courts would so hold. As to the resolution intro- duced in Congress with a view to having the issue declared illegal, he expressed the opinion that it would fail of passage. “The Secretary was assured by many of those present,” continued this genth in, “that if the legality of the issue was shown to be beyond question, there would be no doubt that the entire amount would be subscribed for unconditionally, and at the upset price right here in New York. Mr. Carlisle referred in a somewhat guarded way to knowledge he possessed as to the disposition manifested by certain danks | here to discredit the value of the bonds in the interest of a syndicate, bit that matter went no further. Nothing was said as to the extent to which the bonds had been spoken for in this city. The conference was of the pleasantest possible character. As to definite results, the future may velop them.” The only definite information obtainable as to the matter of subscriptions to the issue in New York city was that the offer of $4,000,000 by the American Exchange Bank would stand. a Saturday Excursion to Baltimore.

Riley. stein Anse AA |HAVE REFECTIVE POWERS The annual meeting of the Biological So- | ciety was held at the Columbian University building last evening and was marked by an exceedingly interesting address by its | president, Prof. C. V. Riley, entomologist ~ the Department of Agriculture. The | | Beav rain storm that prevailed during the evening undoubtedly affected the attend- nee, but thcse who braved the weather were well rewarded for s9 doing. Prof. Riley prefaced his address by saying that | for the special benefit of the public he first employed by Lemarck in 1801 as a term under which the phenomena of or- ie nature could be considere}, and in S02 by Treviranus to express the science | that treats cf the philosophy of Mving na- use. The term is now perhaps more cor- ment of the type ia the past and of tite individual in the present—not by them- | selves cnly, but in their relation to ell other forms of iife. Prof. Riley then sketched brietiy the objects of the Biological Socicty and said ft was not surprising that its | members have very generally been imbued with the spirit and interpretations which Darwin, the illustrious author of the “O-i- gin of the Species,” gave to the phenomena of life upon our picnet; but “he added that | they have not been blind followers in that or any other school. ‘The Pince of Heredity. “Upon the one great question, which more than any other has occupied biologists of jate years, namely, whether acquired char- acters are transmitted by heredity,” he said, “there have been few more able con- trivutions to the subject anywhere publish- ed than the papers and addresses of one of my distinguished predecessors, Prof. Lester F. Ward.” ‘The lecturer said that the caoice Of iS Subject Was in no smail uesree uetermined by one ot Prof. Wara's Barussicns wat the characters of neuiers among the tocial tmsects offered the ereat- esc Scumoling biock to the theory of the heredity of sucn acquired characters, Prot, Ruey spoke of organizea imsect so- wes and Sa.d that the term socal in Suca connection was c:nfined strictly to those species of Insects waich permanentiy lve togecher in cuonies gag ih which the social habit, with its consequent subdi- | ¥isicn of iabor and differenuaticn of indi- Viduals, has become essenuai tS tne per- petuation ot tre In orcer to make & Point more inteuigivle to the non-spec- ust he illustrated it \.ith several exampies on an illuminated screen.

This amount may be, in the jarsel: iucreased. It is, in tact, difficult to realize Whet an hnmense aniount of honey is wast- 4d trom jack of beos to gather it, and the poet Gray would seem to heave had his own ideas on this subject when he wrote the iatfuliar lines: ull many a flower is born to blush un- seen, i | And waste ts sweetness cn the desert air.’ | Perdiization of Plants. | “The services directly rendered to man by ces, however, in supplying the products | Reationed, are but slight as compared with | the services indirectly rendered by cross- fertilization of our cultivated plants, and | it has been estimated that the annual ad- dition to our wealth by bees in this direc- tion alowe iar exceeds that derived from honey aud wax. One of the earliest defini- tions cf a queen bee was. ‘the sovereign of @ swarm of bees.” In reality, however, the | BeVernineut of the hive is purely demo- aca Worss for the common wei- re, and only so iong as the individuai, nether queen, crone or worker, is valua- a is the onl: | tae reproductive organs fully developed, and is, therefore, the mother of ail the others in the hive. two cr Unree eggs being de- posited dumng the more prolific season in | che course or a minute, and orten as many hatched. it is the office of the young work- ers, Known as nurse bees, to furnisn these young larvae with food, which they are as- duous im doing.” The lecturer gave an i the different structures and organs of the hive bee, calling special attenuon to the longue, the wax-producing organs, and the | Wax pincers, Soctal Wasps, In regard to “Social Wasps,” the lecturer said: . ‘he popular conception of these inter- esting insects is decidedly at variance with their deserts. Wasps are generally consid- ered as thieves, robbers, idlers and vaga- bonds; as impertinent and inquisitive, in- vading our homes and devouring anything gar, fruit, meat, wines, etc, and resentin their operations. The term ‘waspish,’ one of the most expressive in the languzge, | cruel, and that they courageously resent in. | terference, yet the fact remains that they in the infitction of punishment, except in the capture and appropriation of other in- | Sects as food—a course which finds its coun- higher animal, and is justified even by the example of man himself. In their reiation- ship with each other the wasps are polish- | far as their own species are concerned, and j they never turn robbers or maranders of their own kind, as do the more lauded bees, among which we have what are known as the corsair bees, which progeaedy. rob their ; Sisters of the sweets and poliei which these e collected with great pains and inde- fatigable industry. These robbers even lie in wait, and scheme and plan in bodies for the success of their raids, as do thieves among men, Wasps never resort to such | cowardly proceedings, and hence, strictly speaking, are not robbers at all; for, aside from their ewn kind, the world is their legitimate prey. Ought we not, therefore, ' to revise our opinion of these Insects and accord to them the places their industry and intelligence deserve?” Something About Ants. Ants received special attention at the hands of the lecturer, and many interesting things were sald about these industrious insects. In regard to their migrations he said: “There are two kinds of ant migra- tions. The swarming of the sexes takes would omit the reading of the more tech- | termitophilous insects of various nical and detailed portisns of his anaual | j{report.

Species of the genera Lazius, Formica, Tetramorium and Cremastogaster, ticularly, often form dense swarms of clouds, ascending high up in the air. These Swarms of ants have sometimes known to be so dense and persistent that is impossible, over large areas, put foot down without crushing dozens them, and they can be swept together vast piles. A case is on record of a species covering the surface of the at sea to a Gepth of six inches and distance of six miles. This in such vast swarms is due to the un! and simultaneous hatching and ment in all the colonies over a large ex- tent of country. “The migrations of the sexes are realy love excursions, whereas the migrations of the workers, which take place in vast bod- ad td times, are ere od of undue 4 plication, and are intended to improve condition of the surplus progeny and found new colonies.” In summarizing the chief characteristics of the social insects Prof. Riley said: “These insects are attacked by various natural enemies in their own class, and particu- leriy in the case of the bees and wasps, by Some of the most abnormal parasites, namely, the styiopidae, in which the young larva the female stationary and so degraded that it has lost all members and modth parts, anf, in fact, all semblance of the insect, the male is an active winged creature of very ephemeral existence.

Having thus far dealt with the characters and economies of the social insects, Prof. Riley next entered on @ learned disquisition of their psychological manifestation. “Or the five ordinary senses recognized in our- selves and most higher animals,” he said, “insects have beyond all doubt the sense or sight, and there can be as little question that they possess the senses of touch, taste, smell and hearing. Yet save perhaps that of touch none of these senses as possessea by insects can be strictly compared with our own, while there is just as little doubt that insects possess othe> senses which we do not, and that they have sense organs with which we have none to vate cops; they providently store food im anticipation of an inauspicious season; they give expression to satisfacti: and exhibit Hl-temper or rage; they even the dincsenned han nana ant nee the distressed and needy of their own H 3 E playfulness—they exhibit, in short, most Soe came Poapnvetatons inp ed Uy the er animals, ingentously that in all these i they are acting as mere automatons, may be, and has been, avgued even Not as Created. “Two beiiefs that have very. prevailed among men up to within years have been so effectually that they are even renounced advanced theologians.
