Osanenenseeen (a Ae ae see ae eR ferme ue Auracuae It has freqveutly been asserted that the brilliant colors of many flowers serve to attract bees and butterflies to them. Experiments recently reported to the Belgian Academy of Sciences seem to show that the perfume, rather than color of the flowers, is the real at- waction. Bright-cclored blossoms were covered with leaves and papers pinned ‘losely about them; yet the insects not conly visited the hidden flowers but en- devvored to force their way under the pipers in order to reach the blossoms slici they could not see.—B: ibe, * SHE AMER SH, Their Importance in the Transpor- tation of Perishable Products. UNFOUNDED OPPOSITION TO SUBSIDIES. Vaiae of Ocean Flyers to the Gov- ernment in Time of Peace or War —Build Up the Nation’s Ocean Trade and Augment Its Naval Power. P [Special Correspondence.] Washington, D. C., Jan. 16. Considerable opposition to the payment of subsidies to swift American steamships has developed in the press of the country. The statement has been widely circulated that these ships merely carry passengers abroad to spend American money, and to bring back wines and silks for luxurious cit- izens, and that such ships, so employed, are of no help to American commerce. What is wanted, these opponents deciare, is car- go carriers, the low-powered steamships that take cargoes’ wherever they offer, and carry them wherever they are consigned, regardless of established lines. And these are the ships, they goon and assert, that have given Great Britain her preeminence as a maritime power. All this sounds plausibie, and somewhat logical, and, if not analyzed by those hav- ing knowledge of the facts, helps to create an unfavorable and hurtful sentiment to- ward the shipping bill now pending in congress which properly considers swift steamships, as well as s.ow ores. As a mat- ter of fa-t, the swift etca~ ~hips carry those products from the United States that are the most valuable, and, in many cases, the most perishable. .Were it not for the fast steamship California fruits — a growing business—could not be exported to Europe; with them, the exportation of Pacific coast fruits steadily grows and prospers. All kinds of dressed meats, ham, bacon, lard and an infinite variety of agricultural or farm products, that have gone through va- rious stages of manufacture are sent abroad in swift ships. ee Swift ships carry the mails; and it is es- sential that the maiis be carried with the utmost rapidity. Invariably swift ships are parts of regularly established lines, and they make regular and frequent voyages to and from their terminal points. The swift- er, the greater, the more powerful the ships, the more profitable their use is to their re- spective terminal countries, but the truth is the Jess remunerative they all are to their owners. They carry the most expensive cargoes that go both ways, the manufac- tures upon which iabor and skill have been expended, and which return the largest sums to their producers. But these are the ships, the large, pow- erful, swift ocean flyers, that are most use’ ful to the nation in time of war. They are at once available as carriers of important dispatches, in cases where celerity is of the utmost importance; they are useful as aux- iliary cruisers, they can be quickly trans- formed into cruisers and then prey upon and destroy the enemy’s commerce; they tan act as scouts for fleets, and keep them informed regarding the movements of the enemy, keeping in touch with the eném: and eluding capture through their swift: ness. This was well illustrated by the four great ships of the only American line in the trans-Atlantic trade, during our war with Spain. They were steaming at full speed between 500 and 600 miles a day, far out upon the Atlantic, keeping watch for Spain’s cruisers, ready to report them to the flying squadron at Hampton Roads. It was this scouting work, so effectively done, that compelled Spain to send Cervera far to the south, when but for them Cervera might have threatened if not seriously and irreparabiy injured our great Atlantic and Gulf seaports. The swift steamships are the nearest at- tainment to the ideal, the consummation of the highest hopes of the artists engaged in their construction, at once an effective dem- onstration of man’s best handiwork, and at the same time an invaluable aid to the na- tion when most in need of afd. Such ships are the final outgrowth of regularly estab- lished lines where 2 trade has been built up at great expense, after many years of faithful effort, and through a service that ie thorough, complete and attractive. They arethe best of their kind and a nation whose people fail to appreciate them does not grasp the full significance nor the full value of sca power. The so-called tramp steamships, the ves-. sels that carry cargoes wherever destined, are merely the carriers of the surplus car- goes that accumulate after harvesting, or at exceptional times, when the regular lines are overcrowded. But it is the regular lines that build up a nation’s trade—never the tramps—and they often do it for years ata losa, until they are thorough!y established and have vumulated a paying business. And Britain’s sea power lies in her great steamship lines, not in her “tramps.” O7If the agents of foreign steamships are deliberately working to defeat the pending shipping bill—as is being said ail over the country—congress should be warned. The American people are not in the mood to see legislation helpful to a great American in- dustry defeuted in the interest of foreign- ers. © Congress is not, of course, deliberately conspiring to injuwe any foreign interests, But if the latter happens to monopolize any great American industry, as they do the carrying of owr imports and exports, and congress jn legislating to promote this in- dustry in the United States does hurt for- eign interests, that is a mere incident, not, the objective. O7If the foreign steamship lines are spending money lavishly to defeat the ship- ping bill now pending in congress, as is as serted in Washington press dispatches, it inust be that the bill in question wouid hurt the foreign ships. It that be so, it must fol- Jow that it would help American ships. Con- gress should not be slow to follow this ar- gument to its logical conclusion. 7 Congress, as a body, cannot escape its otaigations to the American people in the matter of providing legislation for the re- vival of our shipping in the foreign trade, by saying that this or that bill is not just perfect. The peopie elect congress to leg- jstate in the interest of the American peo- and they have mo time to study all the etails. Results count. Members of congress Cannot be any more concerned to keep at home and cir- culating among American workingmen and business men the $200,000,000 now annually paid to foreign ship owners for doing our foreign carrying than the people are them- selves. What the people expect is that this sentiment will. fing expression in an ef- fective statute before adjournment. ARE SUPERSTITIOUS; Capt. McCalla Says That the Boxe ers Are Not Afraid of Bullets. _ They Believe That by Waving Their Banners and Spears in a Cert Way They Can Escape Capt. Bowman H. McCalla, com- manding the cruiser Newak, which has just returned from the far east, in speaking of the fighting which Ad- miral Seymour’s column en-jountered last summer in trying to relive the be~ sieged legation at Peking, said: “At first we had only the Boxers to contend with. Later we had the Chi- nese regulars. They were splendidly armed—all that a-good soldier could wish for. They had the best of the Mausers, the finest of Mannlichersand good Krupp guns. Nobody could ask for better than that. “It was almost pathetic to see how the Boxers fought. Their religious en- thusiasm and faith in certain things were extraordinary. ‘They believed that by waving their banners and spears in a certain way and making pe- culiar motions with their hands the bullets from our guns could not harm them. “Nothing could shake theiy faith in this kind of defense. They would not runaway. I saw a parcel of 26 of them stand up and be shot down to the last man. All through the fire they kept bowing and making their strange mo- tions. Even when the last of the 25 had been shot to his knees he kept sa- laaming to the last. Icould not under- stand it, “It was different with the Chinese reguiars. They knew what bullets could do. They are not very good marksmen. They would begin to shoot when they were a great distance away, but there were so many of them that it kept one rather busy trying to dodge the bullets. “They displayed more order under fire than I expected, but that is due to the German methods employed imtheir training. I saw one body of them walk off very calmly and in splendid order under a hot fire. But as soopas they are threatened from the rear they give way in bad style. They seem to be very sensitive to the danger of being cut off. That is a Chinese soldfer’s weak point.” x Speaking of the Japanese, Capt. Me- Calla sald: “The efficiency of their army is something to marvelat. Think of it, when the allies got to Peking the Japanese had an electric searchlight and a storage battery, which proved of the greatest service in storming the wall. They are modest, quiet, but businesslike, at all times.” WILL FIGHT MOSQUITOES. Army Quartermasters Have Ar- ranged for a Supply of Oil with Which to Exterminate Them, Arrangements have been made by the army for a wholesale raid on the mosquito. Army headquarters have arranged for a supply of oil, which will be used in the extermination of the insects. All stagnant water within the confines cf military posts will be treated with a dose of petroleum or kerosene, it having been ascertained that the introduction of oil under such circumstances will dispel the pest of mosquitoes, to which insects army surgeons attribute the spread of dis- ease. This is the first time in the history of the army that the theory of infec- tion by mosquitoes has been officially recognized, although for a long time the army surgeons have been trying to get the war department to issue through the quartermaster’s depart- ment oil to be used in the exterminat- ing prcecess. Capt. Gorgas, the army surgeon at Havana, recently made a report to the war department whith showed that the abnormal health rate in Havana is due mainly to the killing off of the mosquitoes, and it is believed that other localities nearer home will be made more healthful if the same pre- cautions are taken. QUEER OWLS ARE FOUND. Three Birds at Red Bud, Il., That Have Well-Defined Monkey Characteristics, Three owls that appear to be part monkeys have been found near Red Bud, Ill. Two of the birds are now in possession of Phil Offerding, a hotel keeper of Red Bud, and are viewed with great curiosity. -The owls are two months old now, and so far have shown no signs of feathering, and this adds to the monkey likeness. They have large, staring eyes like the owl’s, even the beak being depressed, but the forehead runs back like that of the monkey. The hoot which has made the owl well known is absent.” The voeal powers of these monkey-faced beings are somewhat impaired. They remain silent unless disturbed, when they let out a s like that of a snake. They were taken from a nest in the woods near Red Bud about a month ago by George Carpenter. He was out hunting, and seeing an owl fly off a nest high upina tree climbed up to see what was in it and discov. ered three owls, who looked as though they might have had a monkey in the family. He took them to town, gave one away, and. left the other two wila the hotel keeper. , Good Use for the Boycott. A Minneapolis bieycie repairer is sttongly suspected of sprinkling tacks on the wheelmen’s sidepaths. An ef- fectual way to punish such a man, say: the Chicago Tribune, is not to do: thing to him. There are other repaig,
