The Fairy-Land of Science

But
this,
as
you
see,
is
not
the
rule.
On
the
contrary,
the
flower
feeds
the
bee,
and
the
bee
quite
unconsciously
helps
the
flower
to
make
its
healthy
seed.
Nay
more;
when
you
are
able
to
read
all
that
has
been
written
on
this
subject,
you
will
find
that
we
have
good
reason
to
think
that
the
flowerless
plants
of
the
Coal
Period
have
gradually
put
on
the
beautiful
colours,
sweet
scent,
and
graceful
shapes
of
our
present
flowers,
in
consequence
of
the
necessity
of
attracting
insects,
and
thus
we
owe
our
lovely
flowers
to
the
mutual
kindliness
of
plants
and
insects.
And
is
there
nothing
beyond
this?
Surely
there
is.
Flowers
and
insects,
as
we
have
seen,
act
without
thought
or
knowledge
of
what
they
are
doing;
but
the
law
of
mutual
help
which
guides
them
is
the
same
which
bids
you
and
me
be
kind
and
good
to
all
those
around
us,
if
we
would
lead
useful
and
happy
lives.
And
when
we
see
that
the
Great
Power
which
rules
over
our
universe
makes
each
work
for
the
good
of
all,
even
in
such
humble
things
as
bees
and
flowers;
and
that
beauty
and
loveliness
come
out
of
the
struggle
and
striving
of
all
living
things;
then,
if
our
own
life
be
sometimes
difficult,
and
the
struggle
hard
to
bear,
we
learn
from
the
flowers
that
the
best
way
to
meet
our
troubles
is
to
lay
up
our
little
drop
of
honey
for
others,
sure
that
when
they
come
to
sip
it
they
will,
even
if
unconsciously,
give
us
new
vigour
and
courage
in
return.
