Oceans Tccming with Life.

At recent meeting Of the Ei inhurgh
Royal society DR.. John Murray discussed the
question of the origin and nature OF coral
reefs and other carlDnatc of lime formations
IN recent seas. He first referred to expert
ments which have recently been made regard
ing secretion and solution of carbonate OF
lime Carbonate of limo remains are found
In great abundance ut the STA bottom in shall
low waters, but tho amount steadily dimin-
ishcs as the depth increases, until AZ 1900
fnthoms almost every trace has disappeared
This is due to Suutiun aS tn" organisms slow
" fall to the bottom. Everywhere within
600 fathoms Of the surface the ocean teens
with life The Greedy expedition was starry
Ing within ten feet Of abundant food, which
might have been obtained by breaking hole
through tho ice and using q shirt as a drag
net.
DR.. Murray then proceeded to discuss his
theory of the formation of coral reefs, bring
Ing forward. il reply to objections by Dana
and others, some recently obtained facts re-
gnr,ling tho existence of shallow regions In
what is, on the whole deep water He showed
that carbonate of lime is continually produced
In grca, quantities ii warm tropical water by
the action of sulphate of lime In solution on
efrete products. This explains tho great
growth Of coral in tropical regions Tho ub-
Scnce of coral on certain shores In tropical
districts is explained Ivy the uprise Of cold
water due to wind, blowing off shore. His
paper was illustrated by an elaborate series
Of lime light diagrams. Public Opinion.

NOTES TO A LIFE.

Made nv Nilkie Collins In the Margin OF
His Copy of Fnrster's Life of Dickens"
Forster considered THAT in "Oliver TWIST
there WAS:
"The interest of n story SIMPLY but well
told"
Here is Wilkic Collins vigorous criticism:
"Nonse,lsc; the one defect in that wonder
full book is the hopclr>sly bad construction Of
the story The character of Nancy Is tho
finest thing he ever did. He never aftrrwnrd
saw all sides of II woman'S characteristic all
round her. That the same man who could
create Nancy created the second Mrs. Dom
bry is the most incomprchensble anomaly
that know of in literature
Forster congratulates himself on having
persuaded Dickens to alter the plot of bar
naby Ridge" as he thought the original idea
weak. Wilke Collins writes:
"Where is the unsoundncss of It'll l call 1T
"A fine idea New, powerful, highly dramatic,
and well within the limits of truth to nature.
It would have greatly strengthened the weak
,et book Dickens ever wrote"
Dickens wrote, In lS49, to Forster:
"Chuzzlcwit,' with its small sale, sent me
up: .Dombey's' large sale has tunblet mo
down."
Wkie Collins comments:
THAT 'Chuzzlewt' Din some respects the
finest novel he over wrote) delighted his read
crs, and SO led to Il large sale Of lis next book,
'Dombey,' do not doubt. But the htter
half of 'Domhcy' no Intelligent person can
have read without establishment, and tho DIS
appointment that followed lowered the sale
of the next book, 'Coppcrtield'-
bly, superior to 'Dombey' as it certainly is.
Another note relates how dickens had told
Wike Collins that Leigh Hunt had protested
strongly to him (whc dining at his house,
against the character of Harold Sklmlple, OK
which Hunt was clearly the original. Forster
having compared the description III Edwin

Wilkie Collins writca:
"llc would have pointed out the constraSt
more fairly if he had compared dialogue with
dialogue or description with description in
both eases 4 novelist knows-what Forster
did not know--that dialogue is moro easily
written than description. To my mind, 1t was
cruel to compare dickens in the radiant prime
of his genius with Dickens last lHborcd effort

OF the personal relations between Dickens
and Forster, we learn from u note III the third

A Carrier Pigeons Fate.

TIE pathetic adventures OF a carrier pigeon
lately employed by the empress to bear let
ter to her daughter, the Archduchess Marie
Valerie, may be noted by writer's OF fiction
in quest of new incidents. The bird was one
OF those which are trained for service at the
arsenal of Pola, and when the empress recent
ly sailed from Poa to Corfu sho took this
pigeon on board her yacht, having arranged
10 lot it fly with letter for her daughter at
q certain distance from the coast. 1t was
supposed that tho pigeon would return to
Pua and orders were given to forward the
contents of the letter which it carried imme-
diatoly by telegraph to the Young archluch-
c>s Unfortunately n peasant with a gun
saw the bird and shot it. He did not notice
the letter, which was no doubt blown of
with the shot, and 50, while no bore home tho
empress winged messenger for supper, tho
letter remained on the ground. 1t was acct
dentaly found few days afterward, and
now royal newspapers are proposing that, TO
to prevent a recurrence of such mishaps,
pigeons should no more be shot at all. 1t Is
II wonder that nobody has suggested that car
ricr pigeons on state service should he put
into snowy uniform, like those In which the

ing the Interview.

New YORK, August 21-The statement
made by Mr. Powderly in regard TO his in
tcrview with Mr.. Webb, was commented
upon by that official as follows: II see,
began Mr. Webb, that Mr. POwderly says
that he put this question TO me at the open
inc of the interview: Would YOU object,

sion i'm the NATTER Then Mr.. Powderly
goes on TO say that ] made this reply; 4
can hardly DO that, Mr.. POwderly, and |
don't think 1 ought to be asked to-
Commenting on this alleged reply Mr..
Webb said: "As matter of fact ! simply
refused fatty to talk on the subject at all.
| realized that the matter lay within the
discretion of the officials of the company,
and that he was not the man 10 act as Judge
i'm the case. Mr. Toucey then made this
remark: All the ground has been care
fully gone over in most thorough manner,
and there is no necessity for further inveS-
tigation, as we are quite capable Of inves-
tigating our own affairs
"Then. according TO Powderly, Mr.
Devlin asked this question: Did / under
stand YOU 10 assume the position that the
public and your employees have no rights
which YOU propose TO consider relative TO
this matter. or do you simply look upon IL
as though the whole railroad system was
wholly in your hands, without any consld-
Grafton being due either the public or EN-
plovesn To this question: continued Mr..
Webb. "Nlr POwderly calmly asserts tnat

there was no answer given. The truth is
that no such question was asked at all.
Had it been. / should have said that the
public had a great interest in the matter,
but that the railroad officials were the only
Judges as TO what methods Of discipline we
cared to adopt toward its employees
Next, Powderly alleges that Devlin put
this question: Suppose Mr. Lee and mis-
actions are left out of the matter altogether,
will you permit an investigation in the
cases Of the other men" He then quotes
Mr. Toucey as having replied; That has
nothing to do with the question. The COM
pany proposes TO dictate how, when and
where l shall employ its men, without any
regard 10 outside dictation Of any sort
whatever, for we propose 10 entirely con-
troll this road in the manner that may seem
