phosphorus. The polyp feeds on some
of these and SO takes in phosphorus,
which, in way mysterious to us, is
mixed with the chalk, which u also gets
with its food from the sea and converts
1t into coral.
II the polyp has any motto to inspire
IL, il must be excelsior" for it is an
aspiring little being, continually aim
ing to greater heights, toward the light.
1t works only in tropical seas and new
ct so far down in the water ss to get
into the cold currents of the deep sea.
There are high rocks, rising from the
bottom of the ocean, which have been
thrown up by volcanic forces. On
these the polyp fastens itself and builds
higher and higher, constantly making
for itself new skeleton on the ruins OF
an old one, which dies and hardens when
the live polyp deserts it.
This is the way great coral islands
are formed, little by little, by the con-
slant and persevering industry OF myr-
lads of these tiny creatures. There
are several kinds of coral, Of various
forms, and Of different colors, white,
red and pink.
1t is very interesting to watch the
coral-makers at their work. Some
times thew are at rest. Then myriads
of tiny thread like feelers or arms may
be seen spread out of lOveliest forms
and the most brilliant colors, looking
like exquisitely beautiful flowers be-
meath the clear water. But, generally.
the tentacles arein motion. The pOlyp
requires a good deal of material for its
work, and as it can get it only by eat
ing, and as 1t uses it up as fast as it
gets it, of course, the little thing is al
ways hungry and greedy.
Their greediness serves another pur-
pose, however, beside coral-making.
There is always in the sea great deal
of dead decaying matter which would
make the water very impure if not dis
posed of. As the polyp is not at all
fnstidious in its choice of food, it de-
YOURS good deal of this offensive mat
ter, and through its simple, digestive
apparatus, converts 1T into the useful,

A coral-maker's baby does not grow as
the solitary polyp's infant does. It is
at first only drop of jelly provided
with fringe of fine hair-like append
ages called ella. These ella enable it
to swim about in the water. They are
in constant motion. This tiny drop Of
thing is left by its mother to take care
of itself during its bahyhcod. For a
time it leads free and careless kind of
life, enjoying itself, no doubt, unless it
happens to be gobbled up by some
greedy and unfeeling fish. After 3
while it fastens itself by its ella to q
rock, or piece of coral, and settles
down. Then the ella being no longer
necessary for its motion, become quiet.
Changes begin to take place in the
young polyp's appearance. The little
lump OF jelly begins to swell itself up
into tube-like shape A. kind Of rim
| is formed around the top edge Of the
tube. This is the beginning Of the
house, or frame work, or, more prob
ably, the skeleton which the little Great
ure is going to make for itself. Then
| . little rising appears, which soon
forms itself into mouth and feclcrs,
or arms which at once begin to work.
The arms seize everything they can get
hold of--for they are neither scrupu-
! lous nor dainty-and push it through
| the open mouth into the stomach.

How TO HANDLE GUN.-As the cunning sea-
son will open in the course of a few days, give
the following directions in regard to the proper
handling of a gun, clipped from leading sport
ing paper for the benefit of amateur gunners and
sportsmen. By observing these directions care
fully. serious accidents may be avoided:
"Guns should always be carried at half-cock, as
then neither blow on the striker nor pull at the
striker will bring the former into action. There
is no necessity whatever for a gun to be otherwise
than at the haf-cock, unless game is Immediately
in front and, further, it may not be out OF place
to add, that it is dangerous when shooting in com
pany for the gun to be swung round in taking aim
with the finger on the trigger. The eye should
follow the line of the fight, and the gun be raised
at the proper moment. Accidents from guns
bursting rare; but caution is very necessary in
getting over fences to that no earth gets lodged
in the muzzle, or in winter time that the latter
does not get blocked up by snow dropping from
the bushes or otherwise. These obstacles, al
though they may be easily removed, are quite suf-
fcient, if they remain to burst the strongest bar
res when the piece is fred. This is caused by the
wonderful velocity of the expanding gases. This
expansion which is said to be at about the rate o:
1000 feet per second, is the same in all directions,
and the least check at the muzze of the gun causes
such sudden increased pressure on its sides that
the latter are unable to resist its Effects and
burst open. No one is more cautious or scrupu-
lousy careful in the use of his gun than an old
sportsman, and one more readily than he de-
tects and condemns careessness in the manipula-
ton Of their guns in Others JUG 81 4

A QUEER Musical ISvENrION.-Mr. E. B. Rob
inson is introducing a new musical instrument
which promises to become popular. 1t requires
no musical knowledge to produce the best cOmpo-
sitions. 1t is wind instrument, somewhat re-
sembling in appearance cabinet organ, and is
operated by pedals. But there are no keys and
no lingering is required in playing tune. The
tunes are prepared by perfOratiOns in broad
sheet of paper, the length of each perforation de-
termining the duration of the note. This sheet of
paper, in which the tunes are thus cut, is wound
a reel, and, being placed in the instrument, is
unwound by the action of the pedals, the paper
passing over a bridge in which the reeds are
placed. AS the wind is drawn into the reeds at
the top the passage of the paper over them pre-
vents it from entering any save those where the
perforations in the paper fall, and the notes are
thus produced automatically. 1t possesses great
power, and the bass notes are produced especially
well. The price will be about $50.

subscriber to that paper having "moved away
without having squared up his subscription, and
leaving the postmaster to acquaint the editor that
the paper ''was not lifted" We have been cheat

we take this opportunity to say, that the practice
is mean and dishonorable one It's a little rough
to take paper for four or five years and never
pay the editor cent and then sneak off leaving
the postmaster to send postal card or a note say

Can he ever expect to have rest in the next With
what kind of grace could he meet an editor in

MISCELLANEOUS.

WILLIAM CAHERoN's WILL.-The Pittsburg Post
says: civilian Cameron, brother of the Hon.
Simon Cameron, died few months ago at the
pretty little town of Lewisburg, Union county,
Pa at the ripe old age of SO years. William was
a shrewd business man, and, like his brother,
amassed an immense estate. He died worth about
a million and half, nearly million of which was
personal property. The real estate consists of
valuable farms, scattered about the fertile valley
through which flows the west branch of the Sus-
quehanna.
"ShortIy after Mr.. Cameron's death his viii was
found, and, curiOusly enough, about 81, 100000
were bequeathed to Mrs. Packer, wife of the Hon.
John B. Packer, of Sunbury, who one. time repre-
scented that district in Congress. Mrs. Packer
was a daughter of William Cameron, and her hus-
band was his attorney. But there were other
heirs. The deceased had a son who died in early
manhood, leaving two children to survive hinland
their grandfather. Mr.. Cameron also had two
daughters, one of whom was married to DIR Har-
rison, of Lewisburg, the other to John A. Green,
ofthe same place. Mr.. and Mrs. Green. both de-
ceased, left two daughters, one of whom is mar
ried to o. P.JOnes, who is now employed at the
Philadelphia Mint, and the other is Mrs. W. H..
House of Centre avenue, this city. While 81, 4OO,-
900 of the estate was bequeathed to Mrs. Packer,
of Sunbury, only 100000 was left to Mr.. CamerOn's
other daughter, Mrs. DIR. Harrison, of Lewisburg,
and only 900 to each of his grandchildren, viz
Mrs. House of this city, Mrs. Jones of Philadel-
phia, and the two little ones of VIM. Cameron, Jr.
"One of these grandchildren was named in hon
or of his grandfather, and for each Of the others
the old gentleman displayed much fondness. The
revelation of the will therefore created no little
consternatiOn among the people Of, Iewisbmg, as
well as the heirs who though not entirely left out
in the cold, were bequeathed mere pittance OF
the vast estate. The document was written in Mr..
Packers handwriting, and was full Of legal phrase
ology, which the heirs contend the old gentleman
did not comprehend. They also claim that the
deceased millionaire was not in proper frame Of
mind to make will. For these and other reasons
not made public, Mrs. DR.. Harrison, the daughter,
and Mrs. House, granddaughter, have decided
to test the validity of the testament before the
courts of Union county" .fsta
