A Church Built OF Coral.

A church built Of coral is one Of the
ruriosities OF the Isle of Maize, one of
the SEYCHELLES islands in the Indian
ocean. The Seychelles islands, which
are supposed by many to be the site
Of the Eden Of Old Testament history,
form an archipelago of one hundred
and fourteen islands, and are situated
about l,400 miles east OF Alden and
1000 miles from Zanzibar. They rise
steeply out OF the sea, eliminating in
the Isle Of Maize, which Is about 5000
feet above the level OF the ocean and
Is nearly the center OF the group. sAll
these islands are OF coral growth.
The houses are Duilt of species OF
massive coral hewn into square blocks,
which glisten like white marble, and
show themselves to the utmost advan-
tage in the various tinted green OF the
thick tropical palms. whose immense
fern-like leaves give pleasant and
much-needed shade. These palms
grow as high as 100 feet and more,
overlapping both the houses and the
roral-built church. They line the sea-
shore and cover the mountains, form

DANCES DEMoRALlzE SCHOOLS
Colorado Community Agitated over .
Peculiar Condition.

REGULAR condition..
Superintendent OF Public instruction
Grace Espy Patton has received a let
ter from an indignant citizen of Meek
er, in which complaint is made that
the order and decorum OF the school
Is seriously threatened because the
school board permits the desks to be
torn up and the school used for a dane
Ing academy. says the Denver Times.
After describing the condition the
school was in, the writer says: This
was all the result Of using the school
house for a public dancing hall. Know
ing that an orderly school could not
be kept In this sort Of building, | ask
ed permission to arrange and fasten
the desks. This was given, and | la
bored for days (Sa%turdays) to get this
accomplished and now have n very tidy
room. The board Of directors then de-
Cided, so | was informed, that the
school building should not be used for
any purpose, except such rs would
not require the removal or disturbance
Of the furniture. But now some up
start takes a notion that they must
have another dance in the schoolhousc.
and, In spite of my earnest protest to
the board, seems to have secured their
consent. The county superintendent
nor the board Of directors have provid-
ed me with a copy Of the school laws
Of Colorado. hence | am unable to judge
whether II is lawful or not to use u
public building for dancing purposes;
but II seems TO me that even IL 1t is
not contrary to the letter OF the law,
II certainly must be to the spirit OF the
law. You we'll know that any public
gathering in a district. especially any
thing like Il dance, Is bound to draw on
tho minds and attention OF many pu-
pills from their school work. thus de-
moralizing and autagonizing the work
Of the school. II Is a common occur
renee here for little girls OF IL to IA
years of age to 80 to dances and dance
the whole night. You can well under
stand the damnable influence upon ten
der young girls and boys OF such do
ings. | think, too, that when such n
thing as a dance Is held right In the
sChoolhousc the evil influence IL doub-
ly great. You will oblige me greatly
by giving our decision or the law as
to the lawfulncss or unlawfulness or
using public buildings In this state for
dancing. I do not know whether the
desks will he torn from the floor or not
for the dance tonight, but, II such is
done, can the teacher be compelled by
law to teach again before the school
building is restored to the same order
~ condition as that in which | left III
II must be remembered, In considering
this question. that a public dance. as
conducted here, Is a public evil. There
has never been a dance held there but
that empty liquor bottles have been
found on the premises or right In the
pupils desks. Please oblige me by a
prompt reply to my questions
