coNrRADlcrlNG DARWIN.
The Great Scientists Theory of the Formation
of Coral Reefs Now Discredited.

VI ''iNl iN''lH NNN blh'Itulltus
When Darwin was young man, the
work that did more than ANYTHING else
to give him wide reputation as n rising
man of science was his investigation of
his coral reefs on the Pacific during the
cruise OF the Beagle, and his famous
theory with regard TO their origin, which,
for half century, was accepted by the
scientific world as the correct explanation.
Darwiu's theory, says writer in the New
York SIN, ia now rejected by some OF the
leading authorities on deep sea investi
CATION. The most recent contribution 10
this slbjoct is the work just published by
Professor Alexander Agassiz on the
oceanic researches OF the United States
steamer Blake during which his inveati.
cations of the coral reefs OF the coast
of Florida have led him go reject the Oar.
winian theory as correctly explaining
their origin.
IL was Professor Darwin's belief that
the reef building polypi, which exists
only at comparatively short distances be-
low the surface, laid the foundations OF
their corral structures in shallow wnters,
and the gradue! subsidence Of the ocean
had enabled them continually 60 add to
the height OF their structures, while they
Themselves remained in the limited
depths OF the reef-coral zone. la this
way he believed the great organic groups
of atolls which rise from yory deep water
were formed, and he wholly rejected the
assumption that immense piles Of sedi
ment heaped on the door OF the ocenns
far remote from land could have made
the basis for the coral formations.
In II. 7. Guppy'a recent paper on cor
al reefs he shows that this explanation,
which Darwin rejected for lack OF ovi-
dence, is the very theory which the recent
researches have tended 20 support: That
many OF Darwin's areas OF subsistence
are, in fact, areas OF elevation, and that
the discoveries OF Murray, A. Agassiz,
Buchanan, aud others 20 10 show that,
upon vast depOsts Of oaloareoas remains,
deep sea oorals are reared until they
reach level suitable for the growth of
reef -corals.
Professor whitney tells as that m late
as 1894 the leading text book on geogra-
ply used in American Schools announced
that the Alleghanies we're the most con
siderable mountains in North America,
and that "tho Andes and the Alloghanies
are probably the same range interrupted
by the Gulf OF Mexico" In the present
state Of geographical knowledge such
blunders are no longer possible, but
some Of our long cherished views on
problems on physical geography are re-
ceiving severe treatment at tho hands of
the latest Investigators.

was considered fully wiped out in blood.
The group had no regular meeting place
but casually met as friends, and over a
glass of beer concocted their bloody
schemes. 1t wa agreed that Grinnelrs
house should go mp first and Judge
Gary's next, and last Saturday night
was the time set for carrying ont the plot.
Inspector Bonfeld was the third
man doomed to die, but just
how 1t was to occur had not been
fully decided upon. On July 4th Bronek
examined the premises of Judge Grin
nell, with view to the habits of its oc
cupants. When he reported to his com
panions that night, the enormity of the
offense began to dawn upon Chsbova
who finally inside up his mind to ask
friend .o- advice. The latter hurried to
the police department and told his
story.
In the houses of the three men numer-
Gus weapons were found and enough
dynamite to have blown up the largest
building in the city.
1t is stated in this connection that
Bronek and Chapek were intimate friends
of Louis Lingg, the bomb maker and
both were arrested after the Haymarket
riot.
Chief Hubbard says there will be more
arrests made to night, but refuses TO give
further information.

An impression has quite generally pre-
vailed throughout the country that there was
little foundation for. the contest which Mr..
THoEBE proposed to make for the seat occu-
pied by Speaker CARLISLE. But the case as
presented by Mr. THoEBE and his counsel
before the committee shows, from their
standpoint, that Mr.. CARLISLE holds his
membership in the present congress only by
virtue OF the grossest fraud. Whether tho
the allegations are true or false, they make q
strong prin,a .f4ete case in favor of the con-
testant, and the speaker can hardly afford to
continue his silence In reference to the grave
charges that are made, unless he expects
virtually to admit their truth and rely upon
his partisan coadjutors TO decide the contest
in his favor, regardless of the allegations and
testimony of Mr.. TuoEpE, who claims that
the seat legally and rightfully belongs to him.

A great many men waste money in inju-
dicious advertising. In this day and age, it
is of little use to spend money for printed
circulars, at which not one person in twenty
gives even q passing glance and which are
dropped by the way and trodden under foot
without having been read by anybody.
The judicious advertiser spends little
money in any such way, but prepares tasty
changes, which he inserts in the columns of
his home paper. He doesn't content himself
with a little "two for cent" "ad," which Is
liable 10 be hidden away among its more
pretentious fellows, where it attracts no
attention and cannot be found without a
diligent search; but he buys space enough
to spread out what he has to say SO that he
who runs may read" 40 that the patrons
of the paper cannot avoid reading it, even if
they desired to do SO, which they don't. He
always has something new, something attract
i've, some specially, and he always performs
just what he advertises, and people become
interested in what he has to say and look for
his advertisement with interest.
And then he don't order out his lad" just
because business is slack. He realizes that
il pays To keep his name and his wares con-
stantly before the public, and when trade Is
dull he seeks all the more to induce people
to come TO his place to spend their money.
During the holiday season, everybody adver-
tises and that pays too, to a certain extent;
but the most successful business man adyer-
tises just the same after the holiday trade is
over and when there is always falling off in
business and purchasers are comparatively
few III number.
The most prosperous business men Of the
country are those who spend the most for
newspaper advertising and who advertise
persistently and constantly, keeping their

The merchant who thinks he can do O
successful business without advertising, and
that with liberal hand, will meet with fail

never think of his place when they 60 to

The iniquitous tariff, according to free
traders, nearly doubles the price of wooden
goods, both imported and domestic, while
the same Ubiquitous tariff does not enhance
the price of wool in the least degree. The
explanation of the two statements, the for

Tng new law against carrying concealed
weapons is meeting with good deal of Just
criticism. Fo6tpads and robbers, who have
no regard for the law, can attack law abiding
citizens with impunity and without the risk
of facing a revolver. Commenting on this
matter, the Lansing Republican satirically
says: "Several prominent citizens of De-
troit have been shooting at burglars and
footpads lately with revolyers. Now let the
law against carrying concealed weapons be
sternly enforced against these citizensl The
palladium of our liberties is in danger when
a peaceable burglar, thief or other criminal
is likely to be murdered by hot-headed peo
pie while pursuing the vocation by which he
