EXCEEDINGLY SMART.

| A Tennessee Man Explains Why He Has
Taken to PeddIing Pies.
"You wouldn't take me for a very
sharp fellow, would you?" asked an old
| man who lives in doomed" district of
Tennessee. Several men were sitting
on the platform at a railway station,
waiting for a train. The old fellow had
come up with pies, made of dried peaches,
and had offered in vain to sell out for
ten cents.
NO." answered one OF the men, I'D
not take you to be very sharp
''Well, I'll just tell you how sharp 1
was. Two or three weeks ago, after the
boom sot in over yander at Cardiff,
noticed one mornin' that lot of fellers
was pokin' round in my field. 1 went
over an found that they had lot OF
chains an three-legged things, an was
takin' sight at nothin' in particular.
But l soon seed that they must "a had
somethin' particular in view, fur they
didn't want to tell me what Their bust

with Their draggin' of chains an takin' of
sight that told them that if they didn't
move on away I would set the dogs on
them. That brought them to time, an
one of them draw'd me to one side an
asked me what | would take for that
field. Wall, l didn't know. 1t was a
putty far piece of land an want
itchin' to sell it, still | mout be dragged
into partin' with it. They didn't seem
very anxious about the price-all they
peared to want to know was if they
could git the land. Finally told them
that they mout have it for one thousand
dollars, putty nigh mark, can tell
you; but they bit like trout. They paid
me the money an went home about as
happy man as thar was in the county.
Wall, the next day, what did l dis liver?

The Coral Sea.

Amongst those who for years have
navigated trading vessels in the coral
seas various theories are advanced OF the
nature and extent OF the coral reefs. 1t
will perhaps be Of interest in that con-
nection to mention that in recent paper
read before the Royal Society of Edin-
burgh, DR.. John Murray, OF Challenger
fame, discussed the question of the
origin of coral reefs and other calcareous
formations in recent seas. Calcareous
remains are found in great abundance at
the sea bottom in shallow waters, but
the amount steadily diminishes as the
depth increases. until at 1900 fathoms
almost every trace has disappeared. DR..
Murray thinks this is due to solution as
the organisms slowly fall to the bottom
Within 500 fathoms of the surface the
ocean everywhere teens with life. This
is an important fact to record, as the ILL
fated "Greely Expedition" actually
starved within ten feet of abundant food,
which might have been obtained by
breaking hole in the ice and using a
shirt as drag net. DIR. Murray is OF
opinion that the chief reason why there
is such an extraordinary growth of coral
in tropical regions is because carbonate
of lime is continually produced in large
quantity by the action of sulphate of
lime in solution on etfete products, and
that the absence of coral reefs on certain
shores is explained by the uprise of cold
water due to winds blowing off shore.
