Ea.ter LIIIes In Bermuda

.
The onion is a loud-smelling plant;
but there is n Bermuda offset to it-the
Easter lily. This queen Of odorous
flowers grows here all the year round in
the open air, and attains a majesty and
fragrance unknown elsewhere in tho
world. On the Trinsdad came down
Gen. Russell Hastings, the father, / be-
lieye, of this curious industry of fur
nishing Easter lily bulbs TO The New
York and London markets. He began
1t three years ago, and this year will
send OF. 800, 900 bulbs, ] visited his
lily farm, ''Soncy, yesterday-a sort of
fairyland on the winding shore of the
inner harbor. f
Scattered over the estate arose the
luxuriant tropical growths o. the island
palms OF many kinds bearing fruity
clusters; varieties of cactus-the club,
the maguey and other sorts; the bam-
boo, tall and supple; the mangrove,
standing tiptoe on its roOty stills along
the margin OF tho warm cove; the ole
anders trimmed for n windbreak around
tie roses and lily field. The lilies were
cultivated in rows, like onions, and
thousands of them are now spreading
their great snowy blossoms to the sky,
md %burdening the air with sweetness.
These Rre of no value whatever, and
sometimes they are torn off and de-
stroyed systematically, in order to give
yigorto the bulb beneath.
In all the fields, even those contain
ing several acres, all the lilies urn TO
the sun, like obedient soldiers to their
commander. Perhaps it would be moro
nearly correct to say that they turn to
the light; for it is noticeable that they
turn resolutely away from the shadow,
even if it be necessary to set their backs
to the sun. This often happens on the
southern fringe Of a field.

many pieces fitted to each other in the

partly by means OF screws aud riyets,
partly by braising the the parts to-

These joints have then to be worked
over with punches and files, in order
that the exact line of j%ointure may DO

to work over several inches IN either

Alcohol from Wood.

IIndependent Drug J0urnaII
The manufacture of alcohol from
wood has become an important industry
in many counties in Tennessee. Wood
when subjected to a heat of from 400
degrees to 500 degrees, is resolved into
charcoal, py~roligneous acid and hydro
carbon gases. The first of the products,
carbon or charcoal, is a fixed fuel. This
acid is made up Of crude acetic acid,
wood spirit, creosote, tarry compounds
and water. The third division OF wood
products is made up OF uncomfortable
hydro-carbon gases. These fxed gases
constitute a very valuable fuel. The
proportion Of these wood products are
about as follows: Charcoal, one-quarter
of,.the original weight Of the wood;
p%yroligneous acid, t~wo.quarters, and the
uncondensed gases one-quarter.

Some remarkable photographs of a
pistol bullet in its flight, under the
illumination Of an electric spark, have
been secured by Professor 4. Mach Of
Prague He has also photographed the
Bunsen burner placed in sunshine, and
has even obtained pictures of waves Of
sound, these last being made visible by
a method in which advantage is taken
of the irregular ~refraction Of light by
the waves set in vibration by sound.
Although these experiments may not
have any practical value, they are in

ARMY circles are much exercised over
the probabilities and possibilities attend
ing the selection Of a brigadier-general
to succeed Gen. G. c. Augur, whose com
pulsory retirement at the age of Ga will

promotion is Col. John Gibbon, Of the

and entered the army as 2nd l%ieuten-

the war with Mexico: subsequently he
was on frontier duty against hostile In
dams till the outbreak of the war of 1861.
During this struggle he served as chief Of
artillery Of Gen. McDoweI's army till
May 1862, when he was appointed briga-

a command in the Army Of the Potomac,
participating and distinguishing himself

Twenty-nine Dead Bodies Recovered
From the Ruins of the Late Fire
Liberal Offer of the Penn.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l3.
OF the 6S5 lunatics confined at the aims
house, many are missing, but it is thought
that most of them have wandered away. Al
8 o'clock this morning, two more charreC
bodies were found in Ward 2. They were
burned beyond recognition. Several human
forms can be seen in the burning wreck, in
the cellar. 1t is now thought that 90 inmates
perished.
A number of offers have been received by
the guardians of the poor, from various in
stitutions in the State offering temporary
refuge to the unfortunate paupers The
Pennsylvania railroad was prompt in offering
the use of its old depot at 32nd and Market
streets This offer was accepted and today
nearly 400 Of the able bodied male paupers
were housed in the depot and made comfort
able as possible.
This afternoon another body was found IT
the ruins, but it was go charred that recogni-
ton was impossible
The bodies OF the victims were carefully
laid in plain pine boxes and placed lin row
in the dead house, where they were vleweC
by the coroner this afternoon. Most of these
were horribly mutlated and in some instances
nothing but a black. shapeless mass was
left. An inquest will be held next week
Eleven bodies were found today in the
ruins of the Insane Asylum at the Biackiey
aims house They were horribly dishgured
some of them being burned to crisp
