Church Built OF Coral.


A church built of coral is one of the
curiOsities 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 ale situated
about 400 miles east of Alden and
1000 miles from Zanzibar. They rise
steeply out of the sea, eliminating in
the Isle of Maine, which is about 5000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is
nearly the center of the group. All
these islands are Of coral growth. The
houses are built of species of massive
coral hewn into square blocks, which
glisten like white marble, and show
themselves to the utmost advantage 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 coral-built
church. They line the seashore and
cover the mountains forming in many
places extensive forests.

ANIMALS AS MODELS.

some OF the Experiences of an Artist i'm
S~ketchimg From Life.
Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
Animal Artist" is an article bv Mere
dith Nugent in the st. Nicholas. Mr..
Nugent says: There was an elephant
IN the Jardin-des-P Planets that would
not pose unless he we're paid for it, and
paid in advance. Then he took pav-
ment in buns and pie, but il these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk.to the farther end of the enclosure
and turn his back. The only way to
get a drawing of this big fellow was to
engage some one to feed him mean
while. In the same gardens | saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little sunbear with a large
marrow bone III his shaggy paws was
lesorting to all sorts of bear devices to
get the sweet marrow. Suddenly lie
lay down on his back, placed one end
OF the none in his jaws, and with his
hind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so nigh up tlat tle choice mOrsel
slipped into his mouth. If the animal
could only have understood the shouts
of approval that greeted this perform
ance, | think it would have turned his
head. In one OF the sketches you will
see how this feat vas accomplished. AS
a rule | find the models very good ma
tured. True, they keep'a sharp eye on
me for the first few days, but after
that ae generally quite friendly. OF
course, there are some parts of the
business they do not like. The oriole
never was happy when l held him in
my hand for close inspection, but q
beautiful cat which rebelled when
first placed her in a bird cage-to keel
her in front of me-grew so fond OF
being there, and after | finished my
drawings she cried and cried to be put
back into the cage. Intense curiosity
Is the great characteristic of animals
when in the studio. They are as much
interested in YOU and the surrounding
us you are in them. This is especially
the case with birds. Leave the studio
but Il few minutes, and these two
legged fellows are hopping into every
thing. OF curse they inspect thu
paper on which you have been draw
ing, and the paints, and the brushes
and occasionally vary these proceeding
by taking a bath in the water bowl.

Every Day n Month.

The gradual change in the day and
the month now taking place proceeds
continuously until the duration of a ro-
tation of the earth is prolonged to 90
of our present days. At the same
time the month, or tine time of a revo-
luton of the moon round the earth,
will also occupy 30 OF our days. Since
the month here means the period of the
return of the moor to the same place
amongst the stars, and since the day is
to be estimated the same way, the moon
must then always face the same part of
the earth's surface, and the two bodies
must move as though they were fast
ened together by a bar. The outcome
of the lunar tidal friction will accord
ingly be that the moon and the earth
will go round as though locked together
in a period of 55 of our present days,
with day and month identical in length.

When once the fact gets firmly estab-
lished in the minds of the farmers of
the United States that it is more ex-
pensive to maintain bad roads than to
make and keep in condition good roads
they will take active interest in the
question and an era of road building
will begin which will add to their
wealth, prosperity and comfort, and
benefit the country at large as much
as has the laying of railroad tracks and
the advance Of the steam locomotive.
Let those engaged in agriculture study
such figures as those recently issued by
the supervisor of New York, wherein he
shows that it costs half as much to
haul produce three miles by wagon as
it costs to haul it 500 miles on the rail
road. The supervisor figures out that
with II system of good macadam roads
the farmers would save an amount
each year equal to the interest on from
$40 to $50 all acre, according to the
crop raised, and woull increase the
value Of theiI land either 10 sell OF
huld by u like amount.

Tho Prohibition party of Oregon
koId its state convention in Newberg
Eadnesday. The number of delegates
ospnt was somewhat smaller than ex-

The following nominations were
hade:
"a Peterson, of Woodburn; second

Goyernor-H. NJ. Clinton, of Port

Slale printcr-M. p. M@rquam, of

The national platform, which was
. adopted, follows:
''The prohibition party, in national
4 convention assembled, declares its
conviction that the manufacture, ex-
portation, importation and sale OF al
coholic beverages has produced such
social, commercial, industrial and po-
litical wrongs, and is now so threaten
ing the perpetuity of all our social and
political institutions that the suppress
sion OF the same by a national party,
organized therefor, is the greatest OBJ
iect to be accomplished by the voters
of our country, and is Of such import
ance that it OF right ought to control
the political action of all our patriotic
citizens until such suppression is &C.
Complished. The urgency of this cause
demands the union without further de-
lay of all citizens who desire the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic; therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the legal
prohibition, by state and national leg
i~slatiOn, of the manufacture, importa-
ton, expectation and interstate trans
pOrtation and sale of alcoholic bever-
ages; that we declare our purpose to
organize and unite all the friends OF
prohibition into one party, and in order
to accomplish this end, we deem it but
right to leave every prohibitionist the
freedom of his own convictions upon
all other political questions, and trust
our representatives to take such action
upon other political questions as the
change occasioned by prohibition, and
the welfare of the whole people shall
demand"

Timidity of an Elephant.

Riding along a road in India, | saw
the following instance of a big ele-
phant's timidity, which | venture to
send to you: The elephant, ridden by
IL mahout, was followed by a small NAL
tese terrier which, intent on its own
affairs, trotted beside its master, max
ing occasional instructive investigations
by the roadside after the manner Of
dogs, without particularly noticing
other travellers. From the first mo-
ment the elephant set eyes on the dog
he never lost sight of him, turning from
side to side always with an eye on the
small animal, and h%urrying out of his
way whenever he approached. The
timidity of the one and the confidence
of the other were irresistibly amusing.
