C.) BE Bermudas, Island outposts In the Atlantic of the North American continent, have long been a resort for sojourners from the eastern United States, but never before have they been so speedily reached from the mainland as recently when the trip was made from New York by seaplane In about eight hours flying time. Boats from New York require 48 hours for the voyage. In the Pacific, where there is much Island competition, the Bermudas would be a negligible group; but in the almost lslandless Atlantic they have played an important role. They form a microcosm, the catastrophes, the vicissitudes, the political, economic, and religious controversies, and the development of whose people, as a solitary unit, far out to sea, reflect much of the world history of the English speaking peoples. •v They are a group of what are said to be 965 islands (one fbr every day in the year) north latitude 32 degrees and west longitude 64 degrees. There are only five important islands, and all of the'group are so close together that those capable of use are united by bridges and causeways, so as to give to the sojourner in his drives the Impression that they are but one Island, with large indenting bays and inlets. Strung together, they have the form of a fishhook with the stem pointed to the northeast and the curve of the hook to the southwest From the northeast end to the point of the hook, you can piece out a curving drive 22 or 23 miles long, and the width of the land from sea to sea through which you drive will hardly average a mile. The superficial area of the whole group is 19ft miles. . The islands are nearly 600 miles from Cape Hatteras, the nearest mainland; they are 700 miles from Charleston, S. C., opposite which they lie in the Atlantic; they are nearly 700 miles from New York and about 80 miles farther from Halifax. They are about 800 miles from the nearest of the West Indies; they are nearly 30 miles from the southern or southeastern edge of that river of warm water, 100 fathoms deep, flowing over sn ocean depth 2,500 fathoms, from the gulf of Mexico to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and beyond to European shores, which we call the Gulf stream. Pulverized Shell on Volcanic Rock. They are irregular hills and ridges of pulverized shells, reaching in some places to a height of 250 feet, drifted and deposited by the wind on the top of a mountainous column of volcanic rock rising from the floor of the sea three miles below. This peak Is a solitary one in all that part of the Atlantic ocean. It has been covered by this wind-formed limestone snd a thinner plaster of coral rock. After the expedition of E It 8. Challenger on her scientific exploration of the Atlantic ocean bottom and Islands In 1873 had disclosed the lonely column upon which the Bermudas rested, there was an effort to reconcile what seemed a pile of coral rock three miles high in the sea with Darwin's conclusion that the coral animal would not work more than 100 fathoms below the surface. A desire to find fresh water on the Islands led to the sinking of a well 1,200 feet deep, and while it did not bring what was sought, it greatly gratified a lot of puzzled scientific men by disclosing that the coral rock and limestone were a' mere cap to what was an old volcano sticking its entered top up to within less than one thousand feet of the shining surface of the translucent, sea. The top of this undersea mountain Is much greater in superficial area than that of the visible islands, but It Is everywhere crowned with coral and limestone, which protrude In dangerous reefs on the north, west, and south sides of the islands, as far as eight and ten miles from their shores, sometimes peeping above the surface, and at others lurking just beneath. One need not say that such a situation makes Bermuda an awkward place for ships to reach and safely land, and this circumstance is an important factor la her history. ^ TtJES-WEI JULY 15 -16 \wT'ViJiivU WM If Bermuda is all by herself la Che scientific snd naturalist world. Her soil, which is red, Is nothing but the result of the working of the weather on the limestone and coral rock. These islands came from the wind and drift and currents of the seas. As one writer says: "Probably we could not select a more perfect example of current- formed islands than the Bermudas." This origin has turned the closest attention of natural scientists to fhese islands and brought out from them many articles and volumes on the jpcology, conchology. zoology, astinology, arachnology, Ichthyology, meteorology, and the flora and fauna of this little punctuation point an the surface of the Atlantic. While we cannot entirely exclude from the enthusiasm and prolific activity of our scientific men the motive which the charm and bodily comfort of the islands furnished for these expeditions thither, the publications manifest an exceptional interest on their part in this tiny spot on the world's and ocean's surface which the peculiar history of Its creation has justified. Some of the most fruitful sources of the spread of life, animal and vegev table, are wind, current, and birds f and here we have the result of thenr all in an Isolated form, so set apart as to permit the most satisfactory' study of their results. The turtles must in old times have been of huge size; one, it was said, was large enough to give a good meal from its meat to fifty men, and the eggs and the oil of such monsters were equally useful. There are turtles there still, but they have been discouraged in their expansive ambitions and do not furnish forth a marriage feast as generously as In the dawn of civilization in that little community. New Varieties of Life Flourish. The Bermudas are the land of adopted nativity. They are most hospitable to new varieties of life. Some enterprising grower of plants Introduced a toad to take care of the insects which were troubling him in his garden, snd though this was only in the latter part of the last century, one runs across everywhere frequent evidence of these immigrants. Very early in the settlement, and before 1620, a vessel brought some enterprising rats, which, with enthusiasm worthy of a better cause, multipiled until they ravaged the Islands, ate everything in sight, swam in great multitudes from one island to another, leaving havoc in their train. Oats were Introduced, but to no Immediate purpose. Even the fish took part in resisting the rats, and many of the finny tribe were caught with rats In their stomachs. Suddenly they disappeared ss they had come and left nothing but a plague of cats, with their night blooming characteristics, as a reminder of this rodent visitation. Lovely Flowers and Climate. The luxuriance and wealth of color of the flora of the Bermudas have attracted the poets, who have sung their t>eauties. The purple bougainvillea, with its vsrylng shades In and out of the sunlight, is entrancing in its beauty and welcomes one into the grounds of the government house, climbing over the smoothly cut walls of coral through which the white road makes its way to the home of the governor. The oleanders are so fine and so gorgeous in their hues that it has been suggested that these be called the Oleander islands. Coffee, indigo, cotton, and tobacco are of spontaneous growth. It msy not recall pleasant associations in the minds of the youthful to say that In no place does the castor oil plant grow more perfectly than "here. The climate of Bermuda has a maximum temperature of about 88 degrees, a minimum of about 48 degrees, and a mean of about 70 degrees. This mild climate assists the growth of esculent plants and roots and promotes early growth of onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and beetroots, as well as lily bulbs and arrowroot, though the last two have not been successful of late ' " 1.
