Comment Needless.

The following incident is said to have
happened in a school in that part of
Brooklyn known as Dutchtown. and
the Outlook, in relating it, truthfully
remarks that comment is needless
The teacher of a class was asking
questions in arithmetic when the prin-
cipal of the school came in. He lis
tened for a moment. and then said:
IT can ask question in subtraction
that every pupil i'm the class will an
swer.''
ST doubt it, replied the teacner;
''you don't know how stupid some of
them are"
Children said the principal, .sif
your mother sent you for pint of beer
and gave You ten cents to pay for it,
how much change wonld you bring
home?"
There were forty-six children in the
class, and all but one of them immedi-
ately gave the correct answer.

Rebellion In Samoa.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, May 2S.-
The steamship Monowal. from Samoa,
May 18th, brings important news.
When she sailed large proportion of
the government army had been sent to
the front and the rebels were massed at
Atua, the battlefield of 1888. A conflict
between the rebels and the government
troops was then probable at any hour.
The king, when the steamship arrived,
had given the Aana party until May 10th
in which to snbmit. In event of their
failure to do SO, the Savaii natives and
a portion Of the Tuamasaga natives were
to attack them. The British warship
Curaco and the German warships Buz-
zard and Fake were at Apia. It was
understood, however, the commanders
of these vessels were without orders
from their governments as TO how to
act in case of emergency. The attitude
of the rebels was defiant, and it is ex-
pected an engagement has been fought
before now.

vessel in the world. No test was made
of her attainable speed under forced

to the satisfaction of Commodore Self

shell mounds of Delaware.

Interesting relics of dead and gone
Indian tribes are the great mounds of
oyster shells formed along the seashore
in southern Delaware. Acc ording to
local tradition the Nanticolzes of Penn
sylvania were in the habit of wintering
along the seashore in lower Delaware
and of eating enormous quantities of
oysters. The shells testify to the ap-
petites of the Nanticokes, and many
Indian implements are found in the
mounds.

A MARINE WONDER.

The Great Coral BarrIer Reef or Aus
tralIa and Some of Its Features.
One of the marine wonders of the
world is the great barrier reef of Aus
tralia. This stupendous rampant of
coral. stretching in an almost unbrolen
line for twelve hundred and fifty miles
along the northeastern coast of Aus
tralia, presents features %of interest
which are not to be equaled in any
other quarter of the globe. Nowhere
is the action of the little marine in
sect, which builds up with untiring in
dustry those mighty mountains with
which the tropical seas are studded,
more impressive; nowhere are the
wonderful constructive forces of ma
ture more apparent. BY a simple proc
ess of accretion there has been reared
in the course of countless centuries an
adamantine wall against which the
billows of the Pacific, sweeping along
in an uninterrupted course of several
thousand miles, dash themselves in in
effectual fury.
Inclosed within the range of its pro-
tecting arms is a calm island sea,
eighty thousand square miles in ex-
tent, dotted with a multitude of coral
islets and presenting at every turn OBJ
jeets of interest alike to the unlearned
traveller and the man of science. Here
may be witnessed the singular process
by which the wavy, gelatinous, living
mass hardens into stone, then serves
as collecting ground for the fotsam
and jetsam of the ocean, and ultimate
ly develops into an island covered
with a luxurious mass of tropical
growth. Here, again, may be seen in
the serene depths of placid pools ex-
traordinary forms of marine life, aglow
with the most brilliant colcrs and pro-
ducing in their infinite variety a be-
wildering sense of the vastness of the
life of the ocean

He was introduced by President

with their abilities and that they
were entering into it with spirit
worthy of the sex. He was presented
