CORALs AND CORAL REEFS.

Professor Joseph LIE Conte, in a re-
cent lecture on coral, corrected q wide
spread misunderstanding respecting
corals and coral reefs. The popular
idea is, said NJ. LIE Conte, that these
animals are little insects; that they build
like ants and bees do, and when they are
alarmed they disappear into their little
burrows, aud these reefs are accumula-
tions of millions of these little insects in
generation after generation. Thefact is,
the coral animal is polyp belonging to
the group of radiatia; that it consists Of
limestone deposits in the shape of a hol-
low cylinder with top and bottom discs,
surmounted with tentacles, containing o
stomach and enveloped with gelatinous
organic matter. The tentacles, or arms,
are provided each with a mouth for the
absorption of food. The coral is coraline
limestone after the gelatinous organic
envelope is decayed and removed. The
animals which build reefs are not much
larger than pin-heads. Reef building
corals will not grow at depth Of over
100 to $50 feet. There have been reef
building corals found at depth of l ZOO
feet, but they were dead-drowned by
being carried below their depth. This
confines them to coast lines and sub
marine banks. Corals will not grow
where the temperature is less than So
degrees at any time-that is, the ocean,
not the air. Therefore, they are con-
fined to the tropical regions. They will
not grow except in clear salt water;
hence there is always break in reefs
opposite river. Finally, they demand
free exposure TO the beating of the
waves. The more violently the waves
beat the more rapidly the corals grow,
because the agitation gives them ventila-
ton. Corals viii grow in the face of
waves whose beatings would gradually
wear away a wall of granite. The four
kinds of coral reefs found In the Pacific
Ocean are fringe reefs, barrier reefs, cir
cular reefs, inclosing lagoons in the
ocean, and small lagoonless coral islands.

The mere desire of debtor that GER

Aud How She Came to Liyo Ever so HIM
PLY with Noble Oscar Redingote.
do not slug him, papa!"
Gwindolcn Mahaily said these words
quickly and with an earnestncss that shove
how her whole heart was wrapped up in
the young man in whose behalf they were
spoken. 1t was a beautiful evening in
June. AT the Castle Mahaffy no sound
broke the 7;ij o'clock silence, save the
occasional note of the cricket beneath the
ilagstones, and the low twittering of the
swallows as they nestled beneath the caves
ana chirped to each other Il sleepy good
night. Oscar Redingote was Adclbert
Mahaily's adopted son. Years ago, when
Gwendolcn was but a baby, and the proud
father had gone out one evening Tor an.
other bucket of soothing syrup TO keep her
from bowling the roof of the house cir, he
had found Oscar, then q boy of I, trying to
rob blind man. He had taken the little
walf home, brought him up rs his own
enid, and now, at five and twenty Oscar
was on the board oftradc. He had assumed
the old business.
During all these years that Gwendolcn
and Oscar had been growing up together
there had risen in their hearts passionate
love almost wicked in its intensity, and not
TWO months agone they had pligbted their
troth and sealed their VOWS with large
tooth.startlng kiss that made Gwendolen
club herself for all she had been missing.
II was the avowal of this second compact
that had caused grm-yisaged old Mr.. Ma
hally to rear his horrid front and declare
that it should never he.

| your heart my lass?h said the old man in
cold, sneering tones.
YES, father, have,n was Gwendolcn's
reply, "and shall never repent my action"

while baleful light shot from his eyes,

II you depend upon him to furnish food to

laugh, he started over town to get full.
Two summers have come and gone.
Gwendolen, a look of happy contcntment
in her face, sits in a tapesiried room of the
| Castle Mahaiiy singing mothersong to a
babe, whose big blue eyes wander wonder
ingly around the apartment, and whose
chubby little hands tug heartily at the sides
OF the cradle in which it is lying. Pres.
entity Oscar comes in the room and kisses
Gwendoen.
DO you know, dear, that IT is two years
to day since we Were married? ?"
YES, swcetie," is the reply.
And do you remember what your father
