The Coral Islands.

It las long been the opinion of geolo- gists that the curious atolls of the Pacific and Indian oceans, the circular coral is,an;,s, inclosing shallow basin of the sea, were to be explained as was first suggested by the late Charles Darwin, through the long continued subsistence of the sea floor on which they rested. The idea was that the coral first found foothold around the shores of volcanic or other mountain peak projecting above the sea. It was further supposed that the subsistence of the ocean floor Gradu- ally lowered the original island below the level of the sea, while the coral reef, growing steadfastly upward, remained after the mountain had disappeared to mark it's original site.
 Alexander Agassiz and John Murray have recently held to the doctrine that the greater part of our atolls at least are not thus formed, and that the central cup of the atoll is not due to the fact that it occupies the position of subsid- ing mountain, but that it is brought about by a process of solution by which the coral rocks are dissolved away.
 Dr. H. B. Guppy, a competent ob- server, has, during 9 recent sojourn on the Keeling atoll in the Indian ocean, been enabled to confirm the opinions of ilessrs. Murray and Agassiz. It there fore seems probable that wherever coral reefs attain the surface of the sea the circular basin will naturally be formed, and that if Mir. Darwin s explanation has any truth in it, it is to be accepted only in rare and, as yet, unascertained cases. Boston Herald.

Tomorrow the New York assembly will wrestle with bill providing for labor in the prisons of the state. Under the present system the convicts are kept in idleness, and it is claimed that there has been an increase of insanity and sickness as the result. Even some of those who were most urgent for the adoption of the idleness system are now convinced that the best interests of the state as we'll as the promptings of hu- manity demand that the convicts be put at some kind of employment. There might be some plan devised to keep them at work that would meet even the ob- jections of those who are most strenuous. ly in favor of their idleness on the ground that convict labor is unfairly competitive with free labor. It is a serious economic problem, and one whose settlement will test the judgment of our legislators everywhere.

IF there was no questionable vote the republican party would enjoy more fast from power than has hitherto been it's lots. It is the questionable vote' and the ability of the republicans to manipu- late it that has been the Jonah of dem ocracy these many years. With the objectionable vote" divided into ''blocks of five" there is mighty little chance for the democrats. A contest between the parties in vote-buying would be like a race between yoke of steers and loco motive The democrats would be the steers.

DR.. McCosh on Novel Writing.
DR.. McCosh in the Ledger.

OF late years our best novels have been
this win continue. Women have intui-
tive perceptions of character keener,
more subtle and tender than men have.
They can set before US men, women and
children with sentiments, manners and
dress more picturesque than we Of the
cOarser sex can.
Our novels are now being written with
a purpose, not merely to give us pic
ture, but to promote cause. 1t looks
as if in the near future the battle of re-
lgiOn and irreligion will be fought i'll
fiction. The war to q large extent will
be one of AmaZons, and with AmaZons.
The weapons of warfare will not be rep
resented by swords and guns, but by
bodkins and darning needles, scissors and
breastpms. Novels win have to be met
by novels. Oxford has had its novel,
and other universities must have the
same. Princeton will have to
produce a counter irritant to John
Ward, preacher, and defend Charles
Hodge (who has been attacked) and rigid
Calvinism. Harvard will have to regain
the literary reputation which it had an
age ago, and employ one of the ladies of
It's annex TO put life lnto-not Unlta-
rianism, which Is dead and laid out for
decent burial, but into the agnosticism
of its young men. Yale must stand by
the old faith against Harvard, but will
vivify the scenes by gymnastics in order
to retain the championship. The end
will be that our novel readers of weak
women, and stlll weaker men, will not
know what to believe.
For myself, L should like to have some
members of the school eXpounding their
reconstructed Christianity in a formal
manner. In that case it could be exam
ined coOlly. 1t is so incongruous that
believe it could be pulled down, as cas-
tie of cards, by junior in theology. But
a far more important organization has
been adopted. The new religion is pre-
sented to us by a gifted lady, with all
sorts of fine arts and attractions, which
it would be most ungallant to attack. He
who would assall the fair figure will be
loaded with reproach, as my countryman,
John Knox, has been for ages, for resist
ing the destinations of Mary, queen of
Scots, when, under foreign influence,
she was undermining the foundation of

ETIQUETTE IN THE SADDLE.

1t looks well to see a lady cantering
beside gentleman who is trotting, but
the reverse never seems quite good form
The English rule for country riding
and the park alike requires a gentleman
to pull up and pass lady, if alone, at q
walk, whether she be on foot or on horse
back.
In the United States top boots for the
groom are by 10 means de rigueur,
and under many circumstances would
SAVIOR more of pretense than of real gen.
tility.
The empress of Austria sits alternately
on either side of her horse, and has sad
dies made in both ways. This plan is
adopted by several of the noble ladies of
England who hunt regularly.
The seat should be in the middle of the
saddle, not on either side The wrists
should bend inward to as to permit of a
little play of the wrist joint at each tug
OF the horse on the rens.
The groom should never canter, but
should trot in business-like way, rising
in his Stirrups, or, if necessary, should
gallop, sitting straight, with hands low
and feet thrust home inthe stirrups.
In rising TO the trot, bear outwardly
with the left heel, which will keep the
knee close against the saddle and prevent
the leg from swaying about. At the
same time be careful not to rise toward
the left.
The advantages Of riding on one
hand or the other of the escort are equally
balanced. When riding on the right side
the lady i protected from passing vehi-
cIes; on the left her escort is enabled
more quickly and safely to take her horse
by the head.

The New Official Proves to be a Practical
Man.
Fort Worth has needed street COM
missioner for some time past and the city
council, in appointing James Conley to
the position, has made good selection.
For years past he has been engaged in
street work and understands the business.
He took charge of the work under very
Instantaneous circumstances, the rain
being continuous for nearly two weeks.
AS soon as the weather would permit he
put a gang of men at work clean
ing the crossings and taking the mud
from the principal streets. If dry
weather continues this week he will have
his street gang at carts at work, and in
week a noticeable change will be made.
He will this week repair Main street
where 1t has been dug up between Thir-
tenth and Fourteenth to put in sewer
line. Commissioner Conley believes that
the city should get good service, and that
men working for the corporation should
put in ten hours in the day. Street Com

THE COAL TEST.

Number of Citizens Congregate at the Pick
wick to See the Coal Burn.
All day yesterday the coal mentioned
in yesterdays GAZETTE was burned at
the Hotel Pickwick, W. r. sanner act
ing as master of ceremonies. Mr.. San
ner told those present where the coal is
found and there was ocular demonstration
of what it would do. Among he specta-
tors were Col. E. w Taylor, R E.
Maddox, and many other well known
citizens, who took deep interest in the
matter. The coal burned without clink-
eriug, and left but little
ashes. All were enthusiastic
over the results. 1t is probable
that the coal will be tested at THE GA
ZETTE office for its steam producing
qualities. If the coal is as good as it
seems to be Fort Worth will soon have
first-class fuel at s. 80 to IS per ton, and
that will mean much for this city.
