Agriculture in Bermuda.

Writing of the fertility of Bermuda,
Consul Greene says that the ground
often produces four crops of vegeta-
bles in year. An acre planted in
tomatoes yielded revenue of $500
and one planted in lilies yielded $500.
The lilies of the island, however, are
suffering from parasites. The frEits
formerly were peaches, pears, oranges,
lemons and bananas. Of these only
the banana remains, the others having
persisted from disease.

The Celery Blight.

The bacterial disease Of celery,
which blotches the leaves with brown
spots, appears more particularly upon
the golden plum variety, but it is apt
to attack any variety that is raised.
The germs Of this blight can easily be
isolated and studied, and they multi
ply rapidly under favorable conditions:
These conditions, as one might we'll
suppose, are present when the celery
is kept constantly moist, but not en-
tirely submerged. The remedy is
likewise easy of solution. Celery
kept entirely under water is not sus-
ceptible to the blight, and it will keep
thus much longer when the disease is
present than leaves and stalks partly
submerged. When kept free from
moisture the blight is likewise slow of
growth. In wet, damp seasons the
disease spreads more rapidly than in
dry seasons. The necessity of blanch-
ing celery in soil that is kept free from

the use Of boats for duty to which they

the use Of boats for duty to which they
are not adapted.
The report explains it's last comment
by saying that it did not require much
experience to prove that torpedo boats
cannot be used safely as dispatch boats
and as tenders on blockading ships,
far from bases Of supplies or facilities
for efficient repairs
Great stress is laid upon the import
ance of water tube boilers. and it is
said that 1t would now be hard to find
any design for the machinery of new
vessels which does not include water
tube boilers, owing to the demand for
small weight and high speed
The battleships last contracted for
will have such boilers. Reference is
made to the remarkable performance
Of the little Turbina in England, but it
is said that the results obtained do not
yet warrant an exception of the sub
stitution of the turbine for the steam
engine in the near future.
The engineer-in-c includes in his
report very strong recommendation
looking to the early enactment of the
personnel bill now pending in congress,
which he supports by train of cogent
reasoning.
The following reference is made to
the Boston navy yard:
While the situation of this yard is
farther from the scenes of the recent
war than most of the others, its adj
vantages- ASA repair~statien were we'll
illustrated. Thoroughly protected from
attack and practically on the seacoast,
it affords opportunities for work in
time of war superior in point of safety
to any other yard equally accessible to
our ships 1t was here that the Vulcan
was fitted out, and it is the policy Of
the bureau promptly to utilize the bal
ance of the available appropriation
granted last year in undermining the
machinery plant. This yard should be
thoroughly equipped and obsolete ma
chlnery supplanted by new.
The points of excellence of this sta
ton should be more fully recognized
and revival of extensive marine work
brought about there. The skilled me-
chanics of New England have few
equals and no superiors. and the Bos-
ton yard would never be at loss for
efficient workmen to meet all the de-
mands that would be made on it
through greatest emergency
An additional appropriation will be
asked for with which to continue the
expansion Of the machinery plant as
soon as conditions there will warrant
it.

from Dec. 81. 1895, by a jury before
Justice Diererich, in the supreme court.
The judgment is directed against the
New York City Baptist Mission Society.
While Or. Potter is the real principal
in the suit, it was brought in the
name of George c. freeman The suit
was to recover $4,000, the alleged value
of church fixtures and furniture
bought by Freeman for DR.. Potter at
sheriff's sale, and subsequently re-
sold by the sheriff under judgment
rendered against the church, and de-
spite DIR. Potter's protest. The So
ciety claimed that the original sale at
which DR.. Potter bought the property,
was made with the intention of de-
frauding creditors of the church.
