ACQUISITION OF CALIFoRNIA-E. ii. D.,
City. The British Government which had
begun TO make preparations for the acquisi-
ton of California urged already objections
in 1885 to the settlements of the Russians
made ia 1920 north of Bodega. Fort Ross
and on the Farallones Islands. AS the
Mexican authorities appeared to be unable
or unwilling then to modest them it
called upon the United States Government
to require their removal In compliance
with the stipulatiOns of a treaty made be-
tween Russia and the United States in
April, 1924, by which Russia was bound to
prevent its subjects from forming settle
mentS at any point south of latitude 50' 40.
1t was in compliance with request from
the American Government that the Rus
ians left California In 1871, selling all their
real and personal prope rty to General SUIT
ter, taking payment in wheat and meat as
required by the settlement at Stka. Not
alone England but also France, had its
agents making arrangements tor one or the
other nation TO take possession of the
country. On the 19th of October, 1912.
Commodore Jones of the United States
Navy, having under his command the
slo0p-of- war Cyane and the frgate United
States, entered the harbOr of Monterey,
captured the fort and hoisted the stars
and stripes and declared California
territory of the Uuited States. The next
day he hauled down his colOrs and apollo
giZed to the Mexican authorities for his con-
duct. Commodore Sloat took possession of
Monterey on July I, 1916, aud issued proc
lsmatIOn as Governor OF the Territory. The
English Admiral, Sir George Seymour. ar
rived within twenty-four hours on the Col
lingwood, and the blunt old sailor good
naturedly Informed SlOat that he had come
to take possession of the country in the name
of his Government, An excited meeting
was held on the 9th of July, TWO days after
the capture. for the purpose of calling on
the British Admiral for protection, and
placing the territory under that flag. In
April, 1876 Mr.. Forbes, the British Consul.
had completed arrangements with Governor
lico and General Castro for placing Calilor-
MIA in possession of England on condition
that England assume the debt Of $50. 900 COO,
due by Mexico to British subjects. To re-
tain possession England was to send out a
colony of Irshmeu under the direction of
priest named MacNamara, who was an
agent of that Government. The deeds for
5000 square leagues of land in the San
Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, made in
his favor very fortunately fell into the
hands of the Federal Government before
they were signed by Pico. The date of the
issuance of SlOatS proclamation Is recOg-
niZed by federal and State courts rs the one
on which the United States obtained pos
session of the country. The Bear flag had
already been raised, and Fremont had near
ly Subdued the country.

CoRALs AND CORAL REEFs-J. D., Cres-
cent City. Cal o. hiany coral reefs are
constantly submerged below the sea and
are not laid bare even at extreme low
water; others are exposed to view by the
recession of the tide and of course covered
at high water; others again are partially
raised above the level of the highest tiles
and thus constitute dry land. The ex-
IRENE outer margin of the reef is the only
portion of the whole which is composed of
actually living coral, aud this part is not ex-
posed TO view even at extreme low water
Rebuilding corals in the first place flourish
most vigorously in depths up to ten
fathoms and appear to be Incapable Of
existing at all at depths exceeding twenty
five or at the mcst thirty fathOms. and it
follows from this that no coral reef can be-
gin to be formed on a sea bottom covered
! by more than thirty fathoms OF water. Such
reefs vary in breadth from twenty yards
| to several miles and may run for hundreds
| OF miles along the coast. As an example of
| the barrier reef, or rather succession of reefs,
| there are those on the northeast coast of
| Australia which, with occasional breaches,
| run for distance of over 1000 miles, their
| average distance from shore being between
| twenty and thirty miles, the depth of the
| inner channel from ten to sixty iathoms.
! and the sea outside sometimes over 2000 feet
in depth. 1t has taken ages for the building
up of these fringing reefs, barrier reefs and
| atOllS, or ring-Shaped reefs. q These reef
builders are called zoophtes and polyps, of
| which there are numerous genera. 90 The
| distribution of the reef building corals seems
| to depend mainly upon the mean winter
| temperature Of the sea, and they are con-
| fined 10 seas IN which hetemperature Of the
water during the wutsr does not sink on an
average below CO. or So Fahr The seas
thus limited may be said TO he comprised
within distance of 1900 miles on either side
of the equator. Even with these limits,
however. and apparently owing to
the influence Of the Arctic currents,
! no coral reefs are found on the
western coasts of Africa and South
| America. The metropolis of the reef-buid-
ing coras may be said to be the Central Pa
cifc Ocean with its numerous Islands and
masses of continental land, though reefs are
also found more or less largely developed in
| the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf. the Red
| Sea- the coasts of Zanzibar, Madagascar
and Maurtius. the Gulf of Panama. the
shore of Florida and around the Bermudas.
| the coast of Brazil and around the West
! indian Islands.

WAsHNGToN's ESTATE C. NJ, City,
In his day George Washington was con-
sidered rich man. Methodical as he was
in affairs Of business, Washington attached
to his will bearing date of July 9, 1899,
schedule of his property and placed the
total valuation of the same at $3.50, 900.
His estate was undoubtedly worth more,
and all of 100000. and even more. The es-
innate of $3.50, 0o0 was considered by Wash
ingtOn himself very low one, for in the
notes which accompanied the will and
schedule he frequently refers to the mod
crate value" and Lowest price affixed of
the various pieces Of property. The Ohio
lands included In the estate increased i'm
mensely in value.
MARINE CoRPs-E. c. S., Headsburg,
Cal. The United States Marine Corps is
subject to the laws and regulations govern
ing the navy. Marines stand guard and
sentinel duty. and act as orderlies on board
ship. and when not on such duties they are
made to work the same MS seamen. though
they are never sent alOft. They are really
the police of a ship. The period of enlist
ment is five years; monthly pay of a private
| Sl3, with increases for succeeding enlist
| ments; the pay is less than that for seamen,
| excepting the three classes of apprentices.
| SISTER ROSE GERTRUDE-E. V. de v,
| City. 1t was Sister Rose Gertrude, as the
young English lady was known in religion,
who went to the Sandwich Islands to
| minister to the lepers after the death of
Father Damien. The Hawaiian authorities

not permitted to go farther than the re-
| ceiving station for the eper colony. There

| family name was Fowler, and she came
