Owing to the blight Of previous
years and the early Easter last year,
lilies were not abundant and prices
were high.
The Bermudian brings 10000 boxes
of lilies. These boxes contain five
dozen buds to the box and wholesale
on the dock at from three and half
to six dollars per box according to
the length of the stem.
Last year the retail price was from
dollar to a dollar and q half per
stem, but the wholesalers on the
Bermudian say that the present crop
is of such quantity and quality that
the larger stems will retail at about
rs cents.

HUCKARACK WORK
LENDS ITSELF WELL
TO FANCY DESIGNS

Huckaback is again as popular, if
not more so, than ever before with the
fancy needle workers. No wonder,
after one sees the lovely bits of fancy
work made with huckaback and tlnsel.
Some very pretty bags are made by
using silver or gold thread to inter-
lace the little huckaback threads and
often the work is more artistically out
lined with gold or silver beads thread
ed while the worker is outlining the
pattern. Every style imaginable is
seen in this work and many oriental
patterns show a variety of colors with
gold plentiftilly used in outlines. A
dresser scarf was made with three
tabs at each end, each end buttonhole
stitched with pale blue silk and
worked with eyelet. Above this was a
six-inch band of pale blue mosaic de-
sign. outlined with gold. In. the:eenter
was triangle of gold and blue. Pin
cushions, chair cushions and prac-
tically everything in a cover design
can be fashioned this way: Little
opera bags are woven with silver
threads and hung with long pendant
silver threads and gold interviewer,
with gold threads and gold beads,' or
black thread and gold beads. The
heavy silk-like floss is best. for the
purpose and can be threaded with
finer gold threads.

round garlands and ribbons, looping
over and under band of silver tissue

in the lower Mississippi one fifteen
hundredth Of the water by weight was
sediment. and that in addition large
amount Of gravel and sand was con.
stantly being pushed along the bottom
of the river. Altogether they found
that 75o,OO0,0O0 cubic feet of sand,
earth and gravel were being carried
every year into the Gulf of Mexico by
this river alone. This would form a
prism 26S feet in height, with base
OF one square mile, and would weigh
the enormous amount Of S12,500,000,.
600 pounds. This would make every
year a railroad embankment so feet
wide and 26 feet high more than 1000
miles long; or a mountain a mile
square and a mile high every 20 years.
OF course, all this solid material
which Is carried into the Gulf of Mexi.
co by the Mississippi river is so much
soil removed from the surface of the
country from which the waters have
been gathered. A simple calculation
shows that when we add together the
solid material carried into the Missis-
sippi as sediment and that held in
chemical solution, it. is sufficient to re.
move one foot of soil from the entire
Mississippi basin stretching from the
Rocky mountains to the Alleghenies in
less than 5000 years. But the Missis.
sippi river is eroding its valley at a
much slower rate than many other
rivers are doing. The River Rhone is
eroding its drainage basin a foot in
about 1000 years, and the Hoang-Ho
in China one foot in about l 100 years;
while the Upper Gauges is lowering its
basin at the rate of one foot in 700
years and the Pc one foot in little
over 900 years.
From these figures it will appear
that the continents are rot the stable
masses which they are ordinarily sup
posed to be, and that If w refer to the
hills as eternal We are not using
scientific language, but figure of
speech. Were there no ceunteractirg

In Europe 4S tons of lime, magnesia,
potash, soda, salt and sulphuric and
phosphoric acids are annually leached
out of the soil from every square mile
Of surface. England alone is estimated
to have removed from It's soil every
year S,370,630 tons Of solid matter
which has been dissolved and held in
. solution by running water. BY this
process alone, therefore, a foot in
depth of the rocks of England and
Wales would be dissolved and carried
into the sea every 1878 years. Taking
the world over an average OF 100 tons
of rocky matter is thus annually dis
solved by running water from every

But far in excess of this chemical
action Of water in dissOlving the rocks
is its mechanical action. Some
streams are always muddy. All
streams are muddy during high water.
BY estimating the flow Of stream
and the amount Of sediment carried
along in every gallon of water at dill
ferent stages of its flow it is possible
to get a fair estimate of the total
amount of material carried off from
the drainage basin in any given time.
Everyone knows that the lower
Mississippi is very muddy. and that
considerable amount of sediment will
settle even in a tumberful of water.
Indeed, the cities along the Mississippi
and it's larger tributaries are often
tainted with drinking make-belieVe
lemonade, and it is said that those who
drink Missouri river water before it
settles are compelled to pick their
teeth after every glass; while those
who use it assert that the settling of
the sediment acts like filter and puri.
fies the water.

the river valleys are larger where
they cross limestone regions than they
are where they cross rocks with less
soluble material Many of the valleys
in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Vir-

chain have evidently been formed by
this excessive action of water in dis
