Hutchinson, being upon the above subject: After Mr. Heddon has battled as he has for the " poUen theory," borne up bravely under the slurs and sarcasm which has been hurled at him, met all arguments that have been brought forward, and, best of all, after having conducted extensive experiments to prove the theory; and now, just as success appears to be poised upon her bright wings above his head, for Mr. Fradenbiug to step forward with claims of priority, appears to me to be unjust, and I cannot resist the temptation of commenting on the subject. When Mr. John Longmate, last March, coolly gave in the Bee Jour- nal an illustrated article embracing principles already illustrated and de- scribed by Messrs.
