Formation of Chalk.

A French scientist, NJ, Walther, has
made some observations I'm the Mediter-
ranean sea of the manner in which
chalk is formed by sea weeds. He par
ticularly studied the lithotamnia of
the Bay of Naples, which grow at
depths of from 100 to 300 feet, n class
of alge remarkably poor in organic
matter, but rich in mineral constitu-
ents, among which carbonate of lime is
preponderant. They grow to be about
as large ms the hand, and then die
without suffering change of form by
decomposition. Living plants attach
themselves to dead ones, and thus ex-
tensive deposits are formed. Beds Of
pure, uncrystalized chalk remain after
the gradual disappearance of the or
ganic matter the vacancies left by
which are gradually filed with cal
careous substance Beds of chalk thus
formed may, under some conditions,
attain great thickness. - Journal Of

Effect of Electrical Light on Fish.

A correspondent states that fishing all
along by Totland bay, Isle of Wight,
was very poor, and that since the set
ting up of the search light for the forts
1t bad become worse. He also heard
that there used to be very good place
for fish near the lighthouse at st. Cath
crimes point, but that the electric light
had driven them all away, and now it
was quite useless putting out nets in a
spot where, few years since, a decent
haul was looked on as certainty. He
solicits opinions ON this matter from
those who are more versed in sea fish
and their ways than he is himself

Wonderful Ruins in the Ancient City Of

Wonderful Ruins in the Ancient City Of
Anurajahpovra. in Ceylon.
One of the most noteworthy build
ings of the ''refulgent" city was the
Iowa Maha-Paya, or the Brazen pal
ace, erected by King Dutugemunu in
the year LAP b. G. It stood upon 1000
granite pillars, and Wed with surround
ing dagobas in height, rearing its ninth
story 270 feet skyward; IT contained
1000 dorinitories for priests; its roof
was of brass and, according to the
Mahawanso. the walls cleaned with re-
splendent gems. The great hall was
supported OH golden pillars resting on
lions, and in the center was an ivory
throne with golden sun and silver
moon on either side.
Several times the Brazen palace was
razed by iconoclastic invaders from In
dia, and as often restored by Jealous
adherents of the new faith, up to the
latter part Of the Twelfth century,
when the capital was removed to Pol
lonarua From the upper stories Of
this magnificent pile the priestly occu-
pants could view the far extending
city, and look upon six great dagobas,
all within a radius of lii tie more than
a mile, and lifting their huge white
domes as high as some of the loftiest
cathedrals in Europe.
The Ruanweli dagoba stood near the
palace, and according to the native
archives, rested Oh platform 500 feet
square, its glass pinnacle glittering in
the sun 270 feet above the city, its base
surrounded by marble statues and its
outer walls mounting elephants of ma
sonry with real tusks In the north,
beyond splendid pavilions of king and
queens, loomed the great Jetawanarama
dagoba, with its 10000. 600 cubic feet
of masonry
The beholder at the palace had only
to turn his gaze in the direction of the
rising sun to look upon the greatest Of
the relic tombs, the Abhayagiria da-
goba. james Ricalton in Scribner's.

Fanning's next business was to call on
Mr.. Willwright, as he supposed, to settle
accounts with him also. To his amaze-
ment that gentleman not only refused to
be paid, but declared that he had been
retained by friend Of DR. Fannings
whose name he was not at liberty to
divulge. This was into1erable, and he
said, with much dignity:
There. arc some obligations, sir, that
gentleman cannot rest under. / cam
not relieve myself Of the debt Of graft
tude owe to your client, but can re-
place the money he has spent, and that
insist upon And he signed a blank
check and laid it on the lawyers desk.
Mr.. Willwright's face ightened. In
fact he almost smiled. II will tell him,
and have no doubt he viii appreciate
your feelings" he said, coolly putting
the check in his pocket.
But when Tanning saw DR.. Sandring-
ham he found that gentleman less scrA5u-
lous. Miss Lati1ner had made him also
promise that he would never tell Fan
ming who it was that had reused him to
action, but he had notions of his own,
and his promise was made with mental
reservations. eff that child supposes
that / am going to let two such persons
drift away from each other in ignorance"
he said to himself, she does not know
me as well as know her.
And therefore it was that they did not
drift apart. On the contrary they drift
ed closer and closer together until one
day, in the fullness Of time, Tanning
said: Margaret, you have come, to be
all in the world to me. Will you marry
me?'
mo-" she said very gently. II care
too much for you to allow you to give
yourself to me from sense of graft
tude"
s'You do care for me. them he said
eagerly. "You love mes"
She arose, and for once he saw her
eyes fash as they sometimes did. .sHow
dare you she began, but then she
stopped. She saw again that he was not,
in the very least, afraid Of her. It was
that which had won her so long before.
He smiled proudly. Margaret" be
said very quietly, 'sdo you think any
thing ON earth would make me tell a
heY'
"No,n she said.
..Then listen. love you with my
whole heart. VIII you marry me?''
And she did.
