A PARADISE IN THE PACIFIC-THE
VALVE OF THE FIJI ILAND8.
Iu the wuter of the Southern Pacific
occttu, two thirds of the way from Cali-
fornia to Anslraliu, and directly on the
track of commerce between the two En-
glish-speaking countries, on the shores
of the "quiet" sea, are situated the Fiji
or Viti Islunds. Of service hitherto
mainly an a wayside inn for travelers on
the great high way, and comparatively un-
known except to sailors and wayfarers,
this group of two bnnderd and twenty-
five islands bids fair to become of con-
siderable importance on account of its
wonderful fertility of soil and genial
climute.
ihe soil of the eighty inhabited islands
is described as a "deep yellow loam,"
und the tropical climate and abundauce
of water covers the mountains up to their
very si mrnit with a luxuriant vegeta
tion. In this region plants grow with a
marvelous rapidity, and if Jack ever
plunted that traditional bean-stalk he
must have chosen one of the Fiji Islands
as the place of its nativity. Turnips,
radishes and mustard, we are told, after
being sown twenty-fonr hours, are above
the surface, and in four weeks fit for nae.
Its production are as varied in their na-
ture as thej[ excellent in quality. There
nre no less than nine native varieties of
the bread-fruit; six ol the banana; three
of the plantain, and three of the cocoanut;
while oratiges, plums, the Chinese tea-
plant, caraway, nutmeg, sngar-cano, ar-
rowroot, capsicum, sarsaparilla (not but-
tled,) cape gooseberry and pineapples
flourish amid all changes ol the season.
But it is chiefly on account of the
advantages possessed by thes island for
the production of cotton, and the compar-
atively recent (1858-1860) discovery of
this fuel that their commercial valuéis
so highly rated. Experiment with the
best quality of sea island cotton have
piuceu the country in the front rank for
growth of the staple, and so valuable is
the grude raised that it brings readily a
dollar a pound in the European market.
This cotton, by the way, is not an annual
plant, in the sea islands of Carolina, but
perennial, and needs to be plauted but
ouce in Fiji. Once planted, it has only
to be tended and the crop gathered year
after year. The natives of other islands
in the*Polynesian gronps for laborer's on
the cotton plauiaions at fifteen dollars a
year, and are reported to work well.
Unch being the productiveness of the
soil, the value of the crop, the cheapness
of the labor, and the cost of feeding the
workers so small, no wonder that these
islands are regarded with especial favor
by fortune-seekers. It Is interesting and
encouraging that the kingof these formerly
"cannibal islands" is a liberal and saga-
cious ruler. He has conquered his pro-
pensity for missionary food and "white
meat," has embraced Christianity, en-
couraged immigration, adopted civilised
ideas, has established a constitutional
government, and invited into bis cabinet
intelligent Americans and Europeans.
