FLOWERS IN scILLY ISLANDS.
Generally Supply the Retail Trade Of
London.

Generally Supply the Retail Trade of
London.
The Scilly islands, as most people
know, supply an immense quantity of
the flowers which are retailed in Lon
don and other cities during the spring
and summer.
1.-THE flower industry said a re-
cent visitor, supports nearly all the
inhabitants of the islands. The flow
ers in what are called the Tresco
gardens are a magnificent sight. No
where else in England are to be found
such trees, shrubs and flowers.
There are plants and shrubs from
Australia, New Zealand, the Cape,
China, Japan and the West Indies.
They include pines, aloes, gum trees,
giant camellias, azaleas, palms and
tropical ferns of every variety. The
whole make up scene of fairylike
splendor. I doubt whether there is
anything like it elsewhere in the
world. Amid this wealth of bloom
and LEAKAGE is a ruined abbey, and
no ruins could stand in a more beauti-
full and romantic place.
From the first of February until
the last day of May, from fifty to 100
tons of flowers are shipped to Pen
zance every week from the flower

REWARD THAT WAS DESERVED.
Display of FiIial Affection Lucky for
Fortunate Cadet

DisPldy OF Fliial AHection Lucky TOT
Fortunate Cadet.
A story is told of celebrated Ger
man general, who was noted for his
great kindness of heart He was
strolling in one of the public gardens
of Berlin and met a young cadet, who
was walking along slowly, looking very
distressed, and evidently searching for
something on the ground. What are
you looking for?" inquired the general
kindly. 1--WE lost the locket of my
watch chain, sir" answered the lad,
land l valued it greatly, for it con-
tanned some of my fathers hair"
Never mind" said the general; 81
will help you find it, and he began to
hunt about for the lost treasure. A
few moments diligent search and the
general caught sight of the missing
locket, and, picking it up handed it to
the boy, who was so delighted at re-
covering his prize that he could scarce
ly find words to express his thanks;
but when the general asked him what
time it was, he blushed deeply, STAN
mered and had to admit that he did
not possess a watch. Come along
with me, then" said the kind-hearted
soldier, and straightway took the boy
to one of the best watchmakers in
Berlin, and, purchasing watch, pre-
sented it to the greatly astonished
cadet, who could scarcely believe his
good fortune. accept this" he said;
"for he who honors his parents de-
serves to be encouraged"

mineral Matter in Sea water.

The landmaking powers of the sea
are strikingly illustrated in the recent
estimate of Scottish geographer.
The amount of mineral matter in sea
water is found to be sufficient to form
a solid layer 125 feet deep over the
whole earth and to equal North Ameri-
ca, Europe and Australia together, or
nearly one-fifth of all land above sea
level Even more mineral matter has
been taken from the sea. Most of the
limestone, gypsum and salt has been
derived from sea water, and so also
has been much of the cementing ma
terial of the sedimentary rocks.

Primitive lroncIad.

"The primitive whale was a primi-
tive ironclad," asserts an expert on
monsters prehistoric. ct is a fact
that the earliest known ancestor of
the modern whale bore heavy armor
on its back. in the form of strong bony
plates.
at was thought at one time that
these plates were the property of gil
gantic turtles. Not so. 1t has been
found that they once covered enor-
nous whales. Probably at the time
when they carried armor whales were
amphibious creatures, living on the
coasts, and needing special protection
from breakers and from sharks

About it fingers still a trace
OF faint and sweet perfume.

And here-it brushed against her lips;

From Life, as from her face,

Deep in her eyes to read her heart;
Ye gods! but give me grace!

ODD CHEMICAL REACTION.
Sailors Have Dislike for a Cargo o.
| Chemicals.

Chemicals.
Sailors in merchant vessels have a
natural dislike for cargo of chemi-
Gals, since they are so prolific cause
of fires and explosions.
But the bane sometimes supplies its
own antidote, as in the case of an At
lantic steamer which carried freight
of crude chemicals and cotton. The
explosion of some acids brought about
furious fire, which, like many other
fires fed by chemicals, defied all eff
forts to extinguish it. The captain
and crew were in despair, when a
strange and unlocked for accident
came to their relief.
The fire suddenly attacked guam
tity of bleaching powder, from which
the heat liberated the chlorine. The
fumes nearly suffocated the sailors
but the chlorine held the flames in
check to such an extent that the fire
was ultimately overcome
