and bleaching ruins of what was once
one OF the fine coral reefs OF the world.
That SO remarkable change could
take place in an area of nearly seventy
miles In length seems incredible. but
that this area was affected there can be
no doubt. A letter recently received
from an official on the island states that
the destruction OF coral Is so complete
that even a small collection could not
be made. The cause OF this destruction
OF an entire reef Is unknown. though
theories are not wanting. Some years
ago the sudden death Of the fishes In
this region was observed-hshes OF all
kinds succumbed, floated to the surface,
and formed lines upon the shore. The
FISH were in good condition, and the
cause Of their death remained q mystery.
A similar epidemic was observed among
ilshes of the California coast in 1894
Tropical fishes are very susceptible to
cold. The writer has seen weather so
cold at tropical TortuGas that fires were
acceptable, and It was cold work on the
water: yet this did not affect the coral.
In all probability the cause can be
traced TO o submarine irruptlon, which
permitted gas to escape over wide
area, destroying the growth. This, how
ever, is not the last OF the reef. In all
probability some polyps escaped, and

attach themselves, and before many
years the reef will blossom again with

OF rose coral abounded: indeed, this reef

occurred, and these famous gardens of

that Is, the living coral. The delicate
polyps have succumbed to some enemy,
and have died out. leaving one the base
