about Coral.

Coral is a stony or calcareous
formation, being in fact the agglo-
merated shells or frame work Of
creatures invisible to the unaided
eye, and it is found in almost every
degree of latitude and longitude.
1t is infinitely variable in its form,
and characteristics. Linneus, the
great Swedish naturalist, assigned
it a place Intermediary between the
animal and vegetable kingdom. II
was not until the sixteenth century
that it came to be regarded in any
other light than hat of a marine
plant, devoid Of all animal life. Il
is known to produce eggs and tC
give birth to living young, and it is
also propagated by a process Of
budding analogous to that seen in
plants. These characteristics have
been discovered solely through the
aid of the microscope, and are the
results Of modern investigation
Owing to its infinite variety Of
form and dimension as well as it1
methods of propagation, and it,
vast constructive capacity, as dis.
played in the formation Of reefs,
islands and even continents, this
minute organism has ever possessed
fer those of a scientific cast o.
mind an interest of the most alb.
sorbing nature.

on O street, a lot of WORKOUT
household furniture was under the
hammer, when a Chinaman, who
had been carefully watching opera
lions for some time, put in a bid of
two bittee " for an old dilapidated
washstand.
two bits-do / hear the three 7"
shouted the a~uctioneer.
There was a long pause, broken
at last by the Ohinaman bidding
again;
"Tree bittee."
The crowd laughed at the Celes-
tial for raising his own bid, and the
auctioheer taking in the situation,
sang out:
"Three bittee ~ do | hear the
FOUR" and looked overs at John.
There was another long pause,
but at last "Four bittee came
from the Chinaman, and a oar OF
laughter went up, in which even a
number of old women Joined SC
heartily as to almost shake theil
false teeth out. Still the auctioneei
held on to the washstand, and the
Chinaman, determined to secure it
bid five, six, seven, eight bittee ;
successfully, and it was finally
passed over to him for a dollar. Ht
received it with a smile of awful di
mansions, remarking, Me ketchet
washstand, you bettee = heaI
cheapee."
