life on Midway is evidently very
mouotonCus, and a continuous diet Of
canned provisions becomes very mono
tonous. A considerable amount of soil
was takal to the Island, with a view
to starting vegetable gardens, but the
wreck of the Julia f. Whalen which
took it prevented it from being landed,
and according to Fremont Morse of the
Geodetic Survey, not much success has
been had up to the present, in the ma
tive soil, except with tomatoes. The
wind is the great trouble. One would
think that it would be possible to grow
vegetables in pits. This is done in some
countries with success. Pits are far bet
ter than wind screens, and the earth
does not get washed away during heavy
rains. Even flowers and fruit can be
grown in pits
