MODERN THEORY OF CORAL REEFS,

A splendid audience, including
His Majesty the King and most of
the distinguished visitors to the city,
had assembled in Association Hall
last evening at the hour announced
for Professor Agassiz' lecture on
''The Modern Theory of Coral
Reefs The Hon. S. B. Dole,
President of the Library Associa-
ton, introduced the lecturer in a
few happy words.
Prof. Agassiz went straight at his
subject, using simple language with
out the slightest affectation. There
was more of charm than anything
else in his foreign pronunciation.
He said it was not often he had the
opportunity of peaking to an
audience that knew anything about
coral reefs. The coral was not an
insect, as popularity supposed, but a
small marine animal allied to the
star fish, shell-fish, etc. He showed,
by diagrams on the blackboard, the
mode of growth of different kinds
of coral, further illustrating his ex-
plantations with specimens of the
petritied article. In the branch
coral each hole represented one of
the constituent animals, and in the
brain coral each of the sinuosities
there displayed. Seen under the
magnifying glass the animal was ell
liptical in form, having digestive
cavity in the centre, held up by
walls radiating to the outside. On
these walls eggs grew, which soon
became perfect animals. Thus
colonies were formed, and taking on
deposits of lime became the clusters
of coral. The brain coral grew by
the long tentacles that distinguished
it's species adhering in clusters and
becoming also petrified by deposits
of limestone. The coral animals do
not form colonies in deeper water
than fifty fathoms, below that being
found only rs individuals. To ac-
count for the large number of coral
islands in the Pacific, under those
conditions, German naturalist,
with the Russian navigator Kotze-
bue, propounded the idea that q
series of eruptions had taken place
in the ocean bed, throwing up peaks
and craters to a height where the
coral could begin building. The
difficulty with this theory was that
the amount of limestone deposited
by the coral was in no case mucl
more than 80 feet, and il was strange
that there should have been so many

writer's, with the human love Of
creating surprise, may dwell too
much upon the relics of departing
barbarism and reserve the evidences
of rapidly mastoning civilization;
the most competent and impartial
observers may fail TO apprchcnd the
genius of much that they sec and
hear: but from so many sources of
information people abroad, who take
sufficient interest in other countries
TO look into their lives and progress,
may strike very fair average of the
conditions of life and civilization,
the resources and the prospects,
which obtain in this Kingdom.
Every well-wisher of the country
should do his and her part in pro-
pagating accurate ideas concerning
it. 1t is to the interest of all who
have made these Islands their home
to make their felicitous climate,
their kindly soil. their opportunities
of sustenance and wealth, their
beautiful physical features, known
to the utmost extent. There are
broad streaks of promise for a very
important and prosperous future
cleaning in the Hawaiian horizon.
Soon Victoria, on the Canadian
Coast, will be striving for admittance
to competition for our commerce
with San Francisco. A line Of
steamers is promised to include
Honolulu in the route from Victoria
to Australasia, and another to en-
brace us in the traffic that is going
to spring up between the Orient and
Europe across the Dominion. Sub
marine telegraphic communication
with the rest of the world will likely
soon onrevolutionize our commerce and
bring us into much closer sympathy
with the outside world. Our people
are every day becoming more con-
vinced that not 1.-THE Of our agri-
cultural and manufacturing resour-
ces'have been developed. Treaty or
no treaty, the country is bound to go
ahead, if only its people evince
pluck, and courage, and enterprise,
and fidelity to themselves. Never
before was it more necessary to
| have the councils of the nation in
spired by patriotism, guided by
wisdom, and guarded from the depre-
| dations of sordid self-scekers.

peaks thrown up to so necessarily q
uniform height throughout the
Pacific. Darwin had an entirely
different theory, which was that the
bases for coral operations were the
higher elevations Of a subsidized con-
tincnt. BY an elaborate and very
clear explanation of the different
kinds of coral reefs, including
description of those on these Islands,
he showed that Darwin's theory was
not necessary, to say the least, in
solving the question. Professor
Agassiz then gave the audience an
account of his deep sea investiga-
tions in the Cuffs of Mexico and of
Florida, and of his examinations of
coral formations in the Antilles and
the Florida Keys. He showed that
the map did not give the real con-
tour Of the continent at the penin-
sula of Florida, as coral reefs ex-
tended far out to sea and were
covered with very little water.
Coral reefs were invariably found
in strong ocean currents, and the
lecturer showed how atols, or ringed
islands, were formed by the intlu-
ence of wind and sea upon coral
formation. They are therefore not
dependent upon the craters of vol
canoes for their bases. Professor
Agassiz' deep sea dredgings showed
him that vast deposits of lime were
continually being made upon the
bottom of the ocean by marine ami
mails. In places the limestone beds
so formed came up to the requisite
height for the beginning of coral
building. Once the coral reached
low water mark it died, and could
go no higher, for few minutes ex-
posure out of water was fatal to it..
But the waves washed up additions
of coral broken off from the lower
parts, and piled up all sorts of ocean
debris, and so islands rose above
the waters. There were instances
ON these Islands where sand dunes
were piled up from 100 to $50 feet by
the winds and waves. In conclud-
ing he eloquently argued that it was
better to accept causes for the origin
of new land formations in the agcn.
cies we saw operating around us
every day, than to seek them in the
extraordinary convulsions Of nature
or abnormal conditions, except
where those clearly displayed them
selves.

THE COUNTRY BECOMING KNOWN.

knowledge Of countries other than
their own has in a measure TO be
forced upon a majority of the people
of the world. There is no necessity,
however much excuse there may be,
for reading publics abroad being in
ignorance of this country. When
we remember, however, that even
among reading people certain pro-
portion do not run to works of
travel, and that, of those who do,
many do not come across books
descriptive of this country, the
Hawaiian Islands are probably as
well-known in other countries as we
have right to expect. At all
events, it is safe to say that this
Kingdom does not stand alone in
the erroneous impressions of it ex-
isting abroad. People are so ready
to Jump at conclusions from scanty
evidence. and so liable to retain
views once correct but now obsolete,
that it is not to be wondered at that
the most prevalent ideas of the Ha-
waiian Islands and their inhabitants
have been formed from the mission
ary and maritime annals Of twenty
years ago. Books that entertain the
masses are more widely circulated
and longer off the shelves of stand
ard libraries than works of bald infor-
nation or dry science. Thus it comes
that even very recently, and to some
extent at this very day, notions of
life in the United States and Canada
held in the Old World, were those
gained from the thrilling tales of
border-life in the period of civiliza-
tion's early struggles in the Western
Hemisphere. Nova Scotians at the
London Universal Exposition of
1862 were disgusted to hear their
English fellow-subjects ask, respect
ing certain creditable articles of their
manufacture, if they were made by
"the natives" the Indians being
meant.
Evidences are increasing that this
country is becoming better known
throughout the world-that all the
agencies extant for making it SO are
beginning to have their due effect.
Among those agencies the chief ones
are the widespread business and
trade communications, the elaborate
consular representation, the news
papers and letters sent hence
throughout the earth, the books and
pictures upon Hawaiian subjects
going forth in an increasing stream,
the testimony concerning us dissent,
mated by the many artists and people
of leisure and of letters whom the
unique attractions of this group draw
for a longer or shorter sojourn. II
is true that our newspapers may
exaggerate the evil conditions OF
business or residence here; letter.

politan greatness must sacrifice an out
lay at first, before thev can enjoy the
increase afterwards. The farmer has
to do the same thing; he has to SOW his
seed before he reaps his crop, nor does
he cease to SOW one season because he
has been unsuccessful some other.
In times past, and before the utility OF
railway transportation was established
beyond persdventure, locations as to
stream junctures or coast situation
principally determined the. prosperity
Of the city. Tho hand Of God directed
the rivalship at that era between cities
contending for either sea or river trade.
Now the situation is entirely changed.
Land now is the obstacle to be over
come, as THOMAS II. BENTON said In
his great trans. continent speeches not
water, as of old. Great companies or
syndicstes own roads and are Interested
in roads. The Wise Creator has moth
ing to do now with the location OF com

OF traffic, and imperatlvely calls for
tribute. What city in Texas can fight

When IL was up before them the agony

and they individ ually and collect.
lively wanted TO recommend IL, aud
then they didn't want to. After no end
OF tribute alton they resolved to do some
thing never heard Of before in the
annals OF legislation. They
agreed to report back the
resolution with the recommendation
that IL lie on the table and be cOusid-
cred In CONJUNCTION with tl0 house roso-
luton on the same subject, whom tho

on by tho house, This act was simply
shifting the responsibility of the rosolu

without parallel in the history
