CORAL CHALCEDONY.
Beautiful Fossils Found on the
Florida Beach.
Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.

Florida Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
There are many things of interest at and
around Tampa, but if the majority of tour
lists Who visit the place only knew 1t the
most wonderful and most fruitful in returns
is at Ballast Point. small pleasure resort
about six miles from the city and on Tam
pa bay. On the shores of this point are
found in vast numbers curious and valu-
able form of fossils known as coral chal-
cedonies. the like Of which are only found,
it is said, on Desolation Island, in the far
North Pacific ocean.
These coral chalcedonies were first dis
covered by a Philadelphia scientist, named
T. A. Conrad, about fifty years ago, and
were first described by another Philadel-
phian, Prof. Angelo Heilprin, few years
later. The fossils are of both shells and
corals, although 1t Is only the latter that
possess marked beauty of coloring. The
corais have become changed from their
original composition into chalcedony,
through, as Professor Heilprin believes,
"an infiltration of silica in heated condi-
tion." The fossils nearly all take the form
OF hollow geodes or hollow pipe stems, as
the term is and in the former 1t is on the
inside that the chalcedony is found, and il
occurs in brilliant, translucent reds, browns
whites and blacks. Sometimes there are
successive layers Of different colors, which
give the whole an appearance of being
those which are brilliant red and covered
with peachy bloom.
The pipe stem forms are usually translu-
cent throughout. In some cases the geodes,
although hermetically sealed by nature,
contain water, and from this circumstance
are known by the people of Tampa as WA
ter stones" These forms containing water.
which may be seen through the translu-
cent chalcedony, are somewhat rare, and
the curio dealers In the south ask extor-
uonate prices for good specimens.
Many efforts have been made by scien-
tific men to determine the precise method
by which the following of these fossil
corals was brought about. but none OF them
have thus far been willing even to hazard a
guess which they would like to see in cold
print. Sometimes the geodes contain wet
sand. and this is nearly as curious as the
water, only in the case Of the sand 1t can
not be seen through the chalcedony.
These curious and exceedingly beautiful
,sem-ltke chalcedony corals belong to the
geological period known as the Lower Mo
Gene system. 1t Is not g. remote period,
wien the vast age OF the earth is consld-
cred. but long enough to make ones head
ache In trying to dgure out the years.

INTERNATIONAL COURTEsIEs.
John Bull Seems to Forget What
Uncle sam Once Did.

John Bull seems to Forget What
Uncle sam Once Did.
The British government is showing itself
unwilling to allow the United States troops,
VINO will escort the War Department relief
expedition to the Klondike, to pass through
the northwest territory, because the fifty
five enlisted men, composing the escort,
will be armed. This action of the British
government is in marked contrast to the
courtesies it received from the United
States in January, 1862, when Secretary
Seward Hospitality invited the British au-
thorities who were sending troops to Que
bee, Canada, in midwinter, by the wilder
ness route via Halifax, to land them and
their munitions of war at Portland Me-.
and pass thence by railroad through Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont to Quebec.
Mr. Seward was Influenced in granting
this permission to the British troops to
land at Portland, Me- by the consideration
that much suffering and risk, through the
snow and ice of a northerly Canadian
overland voyage, might be spared the
troops,if they were allowed to pass through
the territory of the United States by the
Grand Trunk railroad. which British enter
prise had extended to Portland. The prin-
ciple upon which this concession was made
10 Great Britain was, that, when human
| ity or even convenience renders it desira-
troops and munitions through the territory
of another, it is a customary acs of comfy
to grant it, If 1t can be done consistently
with its own safety and welfare
The dispute between England and the
United States growing out of the seizure
of Mason and SlideI, the confederate COM
missioners on board the British steamer
Trent, caused Great Britain, in 1S6l-'62, TO
place Canada in condition of complete de-
tense. Beside the large number of troops
raised in Canada to protect that country
against invasion, more than 1900 were
sent over from England in 1862, for the
same purpose. AS the st. Lawrence was
fast ice-locked, or was expected to be, be-
fore the British troops arrived in Quebec,
their destination excepting through Maine,
or else on snowShoes or sledges across
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick perfect
WilderneSS-to Quebec. This process was
adopted in the winter Of 1880, when the .Sd
British light infantry was thus conveyed
from Halifax to lower Canada, to take part
| in the suppression OF the rebellion of the
French habitant.
On January 4, 1862, the State Depart
ment at Washington was advised by tele-
graph by the agent of the Grand Trunk
railroad at Portland. Me-. that the steam-
ship Bohemian was of Cape Race
with troops for Canada, and was asked
whether. In case they came to Portlsud.
any different course was to be taken than
what had been pursued In response to this
telegram Secretary Seward telegraphed to
the marshal OF the United States and all
federal officers in Portland, directing that
'the agents of the British government
should have all proper facilities for landing
and conveying to Canada or elsewhere
troops and munitions of war of every kind
without exception
