AT Rockhampton, several hundred
miles above Brisbane, the reef is a hun
dred miles from the coast. but as a gen
trail thing the distance between It and
the shore varies between five and If
teen miles, and 1t was within this chan
mel that our steamer, guided by It's pl-
lot, plowed It's way.
At times we were close 10 the Austria
Han shore. coasting a dry and thirsty
land, as dreary plateaus OF the Rock
les; and again we were moving alons
by these great rings OF coral. which
fioated, as II were, on the face Of the
green sea. Some Of the atolls had yege-
tation upon them the round basins be-
ing clrcled with c%ocoanut trees, while
others were bare rock, to be seen only
at low tide.
The air was wonderfully clear and
the sky a heavenly blue, with a few
clouds IN II, which made great patches
OF dark blue velvet on the dreary gray
Of the mountains Of the mainland. The
water was as smooth as a mill pond.
We were steamlng, as II were. through
a great canal, one wall Of which was
the rocks OF the great continent OF Aus
tralia and the other that built up by
the countless millions Of the coral
polyps. The coral was In sight much Of
the wayyto Thursday island, and It
gave ussome idea Of the enormous cor
al formation OF this part OF the globe.
WHERE THE PEARL SHELLS ARE.
II is in the coral islands and the la
goons that the best pearl shells are
found. The oysters which produce
these shells are not like our oysters.
They grow 10 an size, and the
shells are often as big as a tin wash ba-
sin. Sometimes they are eighteen inch
es from one side to the other, a single
pair Of shells spread out measuring
a yard In diameter, Until recently there
was a law that none should be export
ed which was under six inches In dia-
meter, and at present the average
weight Of a pair OF shells Is about two
pounds.
The shells lie In the bottom OF the
cea, and they are also fastened to the
rocks. especially TO the coral rocks,
oysters to not like sand or dirt, and
they viii not thrive where the tide
moves the sand about. Within the past
few years an attempt has been made 10
raise them artlncally In a cove In Fri
day island. but Il has not succeeded,
The oysters seem to like the coral for
nations. Where they fasten them
selves to such rocks they grow to great
size, There are many caverns IN the
reefs, and they Will attach themselves
TO the roofs Of these submarine caves, a
dozen OF them joining themselves to-
gether and hanging Is IL were, by one
set OF threads, The fastening by which
they are held 10 the rocks Is much like
a tassel, consisting OF a cartilage or
muscle that extends out near the hinge

multitudious threads. each Of which
CLUES itself, as II were, 10 the rock. The
clvers cut the thread and thus get

CAUGHT A WILD CAT.
Curious Results of Setting Traps in Sc.
qlaChee Cove.


Dallas Dixon is farmer and every
BODY knows him and he is responsible
for the following:
Hawks are plentiful in his neigh Dor
hood and had helped themselves plenti-
fully to his chickens and one day Mr..
Hawk was caught red-handed in the
act but dropped the fowl
Mr.. Dixson cut off the head and
wings of the fowl and used Thorn
for bait for trap he had for mink,
The next day Mr.. Hawk returned and
swooping down caught rabbit. Hear
ing the commotion Mr., Dixon and his
boy went out and the rabbit being too
heavy the bird had to drop it, Taking
the hind quarters OF the rabbit
home he baited the trip with the bal
ance of the rabbit and Mr.. Hawk got
surely caught. Leaving it in the trap
for bait Mr.. Dixon was astonished to
to find in the trap wild cat and such
a monster-larger than ever before
seen in this part of tho country. One
of his paws was sent to that mighty
huuter, Austin Coppnger, who decided
it was from the very largest ever killed
to his knowledge, in which opinion he
was unanimously endorsed by all the
other professors of wooicraft. With
such encouraging results and cumula
tive from small beginnings, Mr. Dixon
has the trap baited with the carcass Of
/ of felix catus, and does not know wha
! he may get the next time-perhaps this
! devil.

Do Annles PAY?

A correspondent in the fruit district
of New York, who for twenty years
has been growing apples, writes that
after thorough trial he is convinced
there is no money in apples. Another
correspondent located less than twenty
FIVE miles from the first, and known to
have made money in apple growing,
was communicated with. The reply told
the story. The man who gets bat rs
cents barrel for apples is in the habit
of growing anything he can raise be-
tween the orchard rows. He neither
trims, prunes, sprays nor thins. and
his apples are of the poorest grade as
o consequence. The second correspond
ent last year sold his apples and net
ted a trifie less than $3.50 per acre from
his twenty three acres. and admits that
some of his neighbors have made even
a better showing. Apple growing does
pay if growers will do what is neces-
sary to raise fruit of the best possible
quality, and it assuredly does hot pay
If the grower neglects his orchards.

shade in the Pasture.

Two years ago al experiment was
made with view to ascertaining what
profit there was in providing some com
fort for mich COWS in the pasture. The
pasture was so located that 1t was i'm
possible to give tree shade of any kind,
so a rough structure was erected "ith
boards, open on all sides, but hooded
in such a manner that some portion of it
rras at all times shaded. By the use
of some piping the current of stream
of water was carried into troughs, so
that the cows at all times had supply
of cool, fresh water. The pasture was
situated on lowland. and as a conse-
quence flies were very numerous and
annoying. Ii was found profitable TO
use light blankets make of unbleached
muslin, arranged so that they could be
buttoned around the neck and come
down over each leg to the ankle. Later
in the season, as these summer blan-
kets became soiled, the fly remedies, of
which thee are several good ones on
the market, were used with splendid
success The result of the experiment
showed conclusively that it was profit
able in dollars and cents to provide
thtse summer comforts for the cows,
The flow Of milk was materially in
creased, and in quality much improved.
This last statement may seem a little
peculiar. as quality is supposed 10 be
entirely the result of the food. but it is
surprising how much the quality OF
milk is affected 10y the disposition Of
the COW.

Kerosene for San Jose Scale.

There is Lo doubt that petroleum,
both the refined and crude petroleum.,
is effectual in the battle against San
Jose scale, but the trouble with it is
that it produces different results at diff
ferent times. An operator may apply
1T effectually on one lot of trees and
without injury to the trees. While the
same oprator's applications on another
lot will kill many of the trees. Nat
urally such results have brought pc
troleum into disfavor and, as mat
ter of fact, it is a good tling to let
alone untifmore is known concerning
it. 1t is somewhat general prs ctice
among nurserymen and fruit growers
to use petroleum during the summer,
and there can be no objection to this,
provided q solution not stronger than
20 per cent of kerosene is used with
water. This is a weak solution, and
can not injure the trees and as wash
1t does check the trouble by destroying
the young scale and keeping the Older
scale in subje elton until fall, when
stronger remedies may be applied.

CHAPTER XVIII

Helen Montauban looked forward to
! Paris. This journey, so loLg-this long
er delay, fretted her already tortured
spirit. She had scarcely believed at first
that she should need patience to support
her in the carrying out of her dark reso-
lutiou-she, the calm, firm, self-pessessed
and self-reliant, She had prepared her
self for long waiting, for daily endurance,
while awaiting the coming OF day which
was to bring her full recompense for past
agony. But even she had not sufficient
strength of will TO bear her through with
out a terrible struggle, TO enable her to
maintain her customary manner, to keep
her from betraying the fierce and con-
slant misery which she endured. For she
was always with them. from morning till
night: compelled to witness a happiness
which had wrecked her own. All his
was harder than she had imagined it
would be, and it became a daily torture.
She must meet her cousin Louis as she
was wont, before the knowledge OF her
own fate-of a rivals triumph. was given
her Still, he called her his sweet cousin
his beautiful ccasin Helen-and sat by
her. taking of thousand plans for the
future-b;.s future and that of Rose-and
made hc1 his confdant as Of old, singing
her TO ne heart with his innocent hap
Ply, unconscious words, and she must bear
it. He talked to her Of his beautiful
brde-elect.
"You are her sister, dear Helen" he
would say; take care Of her, cherish her
for me. till the right is yielded up TO me
till you give it up to me, cousin
"Yes-yes; | win take care of her-I
will take care of her" answered Made
moiselle Montauban. Her countenanee
was concealed from Louis: he could not
see how white she was; he did not mark
the shudder that passed over her frame;
he knew not that the small hand with
drawn from his affectonate clasp was
firmly clenched and cold as marble. But
a feeling OF deadly sickness stole over
her; her head whirled; the agony OF that
moment was awful
And Rose, too-our fair innocent, con-
fiding Rose-daily and hourly was with
her, constantly, not alone by her words
and acts. but by her very presence itself,
iimplanting in Helen Montauban's heart
many a thorn that ranked deeply-sore-
~. But she preserved the old demeanor:
she sehooled herself to her part till it
was perfect; and Rose never dreamed
that the gentle Hiss she gave was the
kiss OF a murde1ess-that the heart upon
which her loving head was laid AZ her
girlish condolences, was even then filed
with the blackest, bitterest hatred, which
drove out every other emotion and that
she was the object If taat hatred.
