The Scilly Islands am a little group of rocks, islets and barren crags about fifty miles off the very southwestern point of England. There is an isle; or a rock for every day in the year, count- ing those that appear above high wa- terâ€"twice as many perhaps when the tide ls out. Only five of the islands are inhabited and the largest is but two and a half miles long by one and a half miles wide. la Cuudt‘o Greats: Vodioi no. 81: six for 85. Prepared 1510. I. Ema 00.. Lowe”. Mus In Roman days the islands were used as a place of banishment; later they became a refuge for outlaws. These outlaws became smugglers and wreck- ers, the latter not at all removed from pirates, and many a vessel has been lured on the rocks by false lights for the sake of the treasures to be cast up by the sea after its destruction. It is said of the islands that they are “ the most extensive marine graveyard in the world,” and in spite of the pow- erful light which now warns the mar- iners to keep away even when twenty miles distant every winter sees some unfortunate ship dashed to pieces on these dangerous rocks.

January in the Scillies is like April in England, thus spring begins at Christmas. ape the cause of the industry. Nearly every available acre of land in the five inhabited islands is set to flowers. Some of the large flower farmers have from twenty-five to thirty-five acres in flowers, but from five to seven acres is the average. The onlyâ€"or at least the chiefâ€"drawback is the wind storms that sometimes sweep over the isles and blast the buds. The buds are plant- ed in patches of perhaps a third of an acre. separated by hedges for protec- tlon frm the wind. These conditions are favorable to the chief, almost, indeed, the only indus- try of the islands, the growing of cut flowers, chiefly the daffodil and nar- cissus. It may be said the conditions Hood’s A branch of the gulf stream sweeps round these isles and brings them with- vâ€"v The flowers are cut while still in bud and set in trays or pots of water in hot houses to ripen. As this occurs, boys and girls put them into bunches and pack them for shipment. They are sent to London, where every grower has his customers, while the surplus stocks the city’s great flower market. Cov- ent Garden. The grower gets about sixty-three cents for a dozen bunches and the crop from the Scillies, during its three spring months. is worth $300,- 000. Some idea of the enormous output may be gained from the fact that the yearly output is 500 tons.

The inhabitants hold their farms under leases. If a man wants to build a house he submits his plans to the governor of the islands. who leases him the land on which to build for nin- ety-nine years. At the end of that time the house and all go to the crown. {W‘s-(:13; tho 8039;}: “Viaâ€"i1. to Clare.

The Government of Chili has just adopted resolutions to that effect and by the time this shall have been published an inspector will have been appointed and in all prob- ability a number of new inhabitants will have been carried to the Island of Juan Fernandez. “'ithin the past few weeks the President of Chili has vis- ited this island on a tour of inspection and both himself and his officials re- port that it canbe made of great value to the country. It has been decided to give eacbsettler a house and a cer- tain amount of land. and the idea is to make a large fishing colony there. The codfish caught off the shores of Juan Fernandez are especially fine. They swarm about its shores, and, in connection with lobsters and Other sh-)ll-fish. might form the basis of a great industry. There are also many seal. walrusses and other marine ani- mals in the waters near by. and the mainland has in its woods many wild goats. wild sheep and wild mules.
