One Hundred Thousand Lilies.

From the Buffalo Express.
This is sight to be seen only on the
picturesque islands of the Bermudas.
There these flowers are raised as regular
field crop. In value and in the esteem Of
the inhabitants they come next to the po-
tato, though both are less esteemed than
the onion, which is the staple crop of the
islands. No more beautiful sight can be
imagined than that which at this season of
the year greets the eye of the traveller as
he comes suddenly upon one of these fields
hundreds of yards square, and mass of
most fragrant white.
Unfortunately, the lily fields are not in
the most profitable state. The beautiful
bloom represents to its owners waste, for
the lilies should be marketed in the form
of buds They are cut from the stems and
packed in cases, Ga in box, and sent all
over the United States. If kept in cool,
dry place the buds will remain without
opening for several weeks, while by being
placed in water they can be brought to
perfection in day or two, or, if the water
is slightly warmed, in a few hours. This
fortunate popularity of the lily has made
it possible for it to be transported, not
withstanding the long journey. The Gull
ture was introduced only few years ago
upon the Bermudas by an American gen.
tleman, General Hastings. Some of the
largest fields ars still owned by this gen.
tleman, and it is said that on one of them
at any time of the season over 100 900 lilies
may be seen in bloom at the same time.

The sun gives 6OO, 900 times as much light
as the moon; 100000, 600 as much as the
brightest star, and 100000 as much as
all the stars combined give to the earth.
In size the sun equals 100000 earths,
but, owing to its smaller density, its
weight equals only 300,0 900 earths.
