The Object of an Expedition That Lately
Left Australia.

An attempt is now being made, un-
der the auspices of the Royal society,
to ascertain the actual thickness of a
coral reef. An expedition has started
from Sydney, in her majesty's ship Pen.
gum, in order to make deep boring
at Funafuti, one of the Ellice islands
The idea was started five or six years
ago by Prof. Sollas, of Dublin, and after
discussion at meetings of the British
association, was brought before the
government grant committee Of the
Royal society last year, by whom it was
referred to the council of that society.
This body made application to the adj
miralty, who permitted her majesty's
ship Penguin, now engaSed)in survey
ing in those seas, to convey the menu
hers of the expedition and their up
paratus thither from Sydney, and to as
sist them during the progress of the
work.
The government of New South Wales,
on being approached by Prof Stuart, OF
the University Of Sydney, and other men
of science in that place, have lent to the
expedition all the "plant" necessary for
boring and their own skilled workme,,,
contributing to the payment of their
wages and in every way cordially CO.
A sum of over $500 has
been furnished by the Royal society,
from the government grant and other
sources. Prof. Sollas, with the other
members of the expedition, is now on
his way on board the Penguin to Funa-
futi. 1t is intended to make boring
into the atoll to depth of not less than
1000 feet, and to collect all the informa-
ton possible about the growth and
history of q coral reef On this subject
the examination, IL no ill-fortune await
the expedition, can hardly fail to throw
much light, and to help in clearing up
controversy which has now been
waged for some time as to whether
Darwin was right or wrong in attrib-
uting atolls and barrier reefs to the
subsistence of an area on which coral
was growing.-London Standard.

FOR BRIGHT CHILDREN.
How They Can Make Toy Furniture from
Old Corks.


Old Corks.
IL there's box Of old corks In the
pantry the boy or girl, with jacknife,
can make a whole set of furniture and
many other interesting things out of
them.
All the tools and materials necessary
are very sharp knife, box of matches,
bottle of thick mucilage, Dob's water
color paints, few old calling cards, a
hairpin or two, pair of stout scissors,
with sharp points, and the pin-cushion.
With these and the corks you can
find great deal of interesting amuse-
ment.
Perhaps the best thing to begin with
10 the cork out of the mustard pot,
which is large and fiat. Snip the sui
phur heads off of four matches, leaving
them square at the ends. Sharpen the
other ends little, make four holes
with the penknife in the under side of
the cork and stick the pointed ends Of
the matches into these. Cut out q
circle of a visiting card somewhat
larger than the mustard cork, paste it
on top of the cork, and there, stands
a beautiful piece of nursery carpentry,

was a genuine surprise. 1t has been conceded
all along that Reed would have the New Eng
land States solidy for him, and their entire -
votes were conceded in every calculation. But
the Convention took the unusual course of in
dorsing both Reed and Mckinley. Senator
Chandler has come out with public explana-
ton, which he confesses he feels is unsatisfac-
tory. He says that the cause of the outbreak
was alleged to be his attacks upon the methods
of the Mckinley managers. All the delegates.
who were elected by reclamation, are unquali-
fed Reed men, and he and they thought it best
to let the platform go through without fight.
He thinks now that this was cowardly, and
should not have been done.
There is growing feeling that no one but
Harrison can stem the rising tide for McKin-
ley.
J. s. Clarkson still thinks that Mckinley
will not be nominated. He comedies him 300
votes on the first ballot, and says that Reed
will have 200. Allison will have 100 and be
the second choice OF everybody, SO that his
nomination will be certain.
The election in Rhode Island resulted in Gov.
Lppitt being reelected by plurality of over
10000. or about the same lie had last year.
The Democrats acknowledge that the Repubi-
cana made clean sweep.
There is revolt among the North Carolina
Republicans at Senator Buffers attempt at die
tatiOn. They say that they will not allow him
to take them one step toward the Free Silver
camp; that the Republican party in the State is
strong, well organized, well disciplined and
able to carry the State with fair vote, and
that Butler is going back on the contract made
when they helped him redeem the State from
the Ring rule. ]. 5. Clarkson has written to
them, with the concurrence of j. ii. Manley,
telling them TO refuse coalition on anything
but local issues, aud to stand firmly for a
