John w. Verhoef, the eccentric
nephew Of Rev. A. N Keigwin, OF this
city, who deserted the first Peary expedl
tlon at Mccormick bay, Greenland In
1892, may be alive. but It is more reason
able to suppose that he is dead. It's
natural that his relatives aud friends
should hope for his return, but the world
at large has accepted the opinion Of men
who are calculated to know and that is
that his body lies at the bottom OF some
crevAsse In the Ice cap Of Greenland.

TIE CORAL ISLAND EXPEDITION.
(Times, Ilth SSp:ember.)

One Of the problems that have baffsd
scientific men IN spite Of tho Investigation,
thought, ard speculation WiucA lnye been
devoted to It, is the foundation of coral atolls
and reefs. commonly spoken OF as coral
islands. Early ~inysstig ttors imagined that
coral formations were composed If living
c'raI night down to the dsrp-sea bottom, and
co icluded that the mysterious little animals
were working at great drpths. building up
new islands from the ocean beds. Unfortu-
nately for this pleasant theory, it was after.
wards ascertained that tn, pOlyps does not
llvt ~ "A greater depth than Is ftthoms, or
90tt. 1t NA> then imagined that the coral
rings were built on the crater tops Of sub
merged volcanoes, but this theory treApasysd
too greatly on credulitv. The ONLY way to
ascertain with certainty upon what >ubstanoss
coral reefs are formed is therefore TO bore
through the living and dead coral at il great
OF depth than tttt winch it is cap ,bIs of
living on the sea bottom To-day a., expe-
dition sent ont by the British Association and
the Royal Society is MT work on n coral atoll
in the Pacific to do this very thing. Special
machinery and mon skilled in the working
of it have been lent by the New South Wales
Government, who arc represented by Mr.
Hedley Of tile Australian Museum. The
leader of the expedition is Mr.. w. J. Sollas.
D. Sc, FRS, LID, Professor Of Geology
in the University Of Dublin He has with
him Mr.. S anlsy Gardiner, a clever young
Cambridge biologist. The Government placed

The inhabitants, who are governed by q M.
tive chief, enjoy the advantages OF British
protection, and are nominally Christian.
Seeing that the coral poIype does not
usually live ct q greater depth THAI 0Oft,
and has never been recorded living at .
greater deph than 3OOft, it will only be
necessary to bore to a depth of some scott.
and if that depth be reached the chief OBJ.

secret that Professor Sofas intends to 90 az
far down as l,00Oft.. if it should be possible
within the time available.
The expedition will not only bore through
the coral reef and into its foundations buE
will stNdy the life history Of the polyye and
its interesting product. Collections of ell
sorts of marine animals, birds, &c, will be
made, and much interesting information is
