Among Islands of Coral.


In a recent report to the Royal So
ciety, Dr. Alexander Agassiz of Har-
ward has given a summary of his
study, during the past twenty-five
years, of different types of atolls and
barrier reefs. Professor Agassiz, like
many another scientist who has made
an intimate study of these picturesque,
tropical reefs and islands, finds that
Darwin's famous theory of their forma-
ton does not explain the conditions as
actually observed; and without at.
tempting to formulate any new gen
eral theory his report attributes to the
growth of each the specific causes
which, in his opinion, were instrl
mental in producing it. Darwin's own
theory, however-that the original

the coral organisms slowly and surely
built up the reefs that now su round
them. The barrier reefs surrounding
New Caledonia, Australia, Honduras
and the Bahamas, as well as those that
protect the shores of Florida, are like
wise underlaid by outlying continu-
ations of the land itself, sometimes re-
appearing as islands or islets on the
very outer edge of the reef. In the
Society Islands, Fiji and the Carolines,
deep, wide lagoons have often been
formed between the land and the reef
by the long continued erosion of water
| flowing between them. In the case of
encircling reefs, such as are found
especially in the Society Islands, sub
marine erosion has in past ages formed
| platforms, now separate from the main
body of the island, which have in turn

to note that the ancient and noble
customs of the country before the

according to old Padre Moraga, the
zealot whose remains were dug up re-
Gently in Bindo in a stone coffin, while
excavations for city improvements
were being made, and which were at
once reburied in the Dominicans'
cathedral there,-the sale of men, wo-
men, and children as mere chattels to
pay small debts of a few dollars, the
practice of defioration as recognized
custom, the holding of virginity as a
disgrace which would prevent the wo-
man from going to heaven, and the
right of the tribal chief or village
presidente to hold all his people as his
own personal property, with the right
to kill off, MAIN, sell, or give away
whomsoever he chose. Details of GER
tain other well-recognized customs are

ARE FOREIGNERS SAFE IN CHINA?

Writing in the World Today of the
situation in China at present, DR.. Ar
thur H. Smith says: There is no
doubt that in the empire as a whole
the lives and property of foreigners
are at present safer than they were at
any time before the Boxer outbreak.
This is not due to the regulations and
conditions made when the protocol of
peace was signed, so much as to
greater alertness of the foreign minis
tiers and of the foreigners in China
themselves when there are any signs
that the Chinese officials are growing
careless and remiss in their duties.
The case which occurred in the prov
ince of Human a year ago, where a
military official was actually beheaded
because he had failed to protect two
foreigners (missionaries) when he
should have protected them, made a
profound impression throughout China
and serves as a warning against the
repetition of such conduct.

JUST FEW WORDS FOR DAD.
The Old Man Deserves Little Credit
That He. Seldom GETS.

We happened in home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red:
What is home Without a Mother?'
Across the room was another brief:
God Bless Our Home"
Now, what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad?'' He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his
dinner pail, and wipes off the dew of
the dawn with his boots while mother
is sleeping. He makes the weekly
hand-out for the butcher, the grocer,
the milkman, and baker, and his little
pile is badly worn before he has been
home an TOUR. He stands off the
bailiff and keeps the rent paid.
If there is noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
go down stairs to find the burglar and
ill him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad buys the socks in the first place,
and the needles and the yarn after
ward. Mother does up the fruit; well,
but dad buys it, and jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself, and draws
the neck from the ruins after every
one else is served. What is home
without mother . Yes, that is all
right but What is home without a
father?" Ten chances to one it is a
boarding house, father is under slab,
and the landlady is the widow. Dad,

you may have lots of 'em-but we will

the question of kindergarten teacher

Other islands, such as the Fiji, Pan

earth is still favorite subject for fan

the prehistoric world. Others again
are part limestone and part volcanic
rock and yet others are atolls found on
the denuded rim of long extinct vol
canic crater.
Many atolls in the Pacific rest upon
foundation that cannot yet be de-
termined and many others are merely
shallow sinks. formed by high sand
banks, thrown up around central
area. The different conditions OF
growth of coral islands on a volcanic
formation may be traced in the diff
ferences between such islands as

The great coral reef regions are with
in the limits of the trade winds and
monsoons as well as, with some ex-
ceptions, within the areas of elevation
whore the forces of nature are slowly
raising them above the surface. In
reefs thus elevated the elevation is
shown by the terraces of the islands or
by lines of cliff caverns indicating diff
ferent levels of marine erosion. The
Marquesas, Galapagos and few is
lands in the West Indies have few
corals and practically no reefs, al
though situated in the ATTITUDES where
corals are generally found. In these
cases, however, the absence of corals
may be attributed to the steepness of
the shores of the islands, to the crumb-
ling nature of their submarine plat
forms, or, as in the Galapagos, to the
GOODNESS of the water surrounding
them.
One OF the most striking statements
in Professor Agassiz's summary of his
twenty-five year work is the fact that
closed atolls may hardly be said to
exist. The island CT Niau in the Pan
motus is the nearest approach to one
but its shallow lagoon is fed by the
sea through its porous ring. Where
there are no boat passages into a la
COON sea water may still enter freely

DO WoMEN'S CLUBS iNJURE THE
CHURCHES.

In an article in The World Today
upon the growth of Women's Clubs in
the United States, Mrs. Ellen M. Hen
rotin answers this question affirma-
lively. 'The clergy" she says, have
good reason to feel aggrieved, as much
of the work now carried on through
the agency of the clubs has withdrawn
from the churches large number of
capable women. There are many rea-
sons why this should be so; women
have advanced sufficiently to demand
the rewards of work, fact which the
churches are too slow, for their own
good, to recognize. In fact, the priest
hood is the last stronghold of man
supremacy, and in the churches all re.
wards and positions of trust are given
to men, while in the clubs there are
many prominent and useful positions
which are filled by just the sort of wo.
men most useful in church work In
the clubs, women are not obliged to
work so hard to raise money to sup.
port the organization as they must in
the churches, for in the former, each
member pays her share. The club
work is also on non-secterian and non
political lines, and, while women often
become greatly attached to an institu.
ton, they rarely care for a creed per
Sc or political conviction. Thus the
younger women, especially, are desert
ing the work of the churches for that

and partly limestone, and atolls where
only a small is let or larger island of
limestone or volcanic rock is now left
to indicate it's origin, such, for ex-
ample, as Solo Reef. Fiji, a coral is
land, on which single volcanic rock
remains near the center.
Through the Pacific, Indian ocean
and the West Indies positive evidence
exists of modern recent elevation Of
coral reefs. Within the lagoons OF
many atolls still remain honeycombed
pinnacles of limestone that bear wit
ness to the solvent action of the sea
on land areas that once had a greater
extension than at present-the slow
steady action probably responsible for
the lagoons that now separate many of
the tropical islands from barrier reefs
that were once united with the land
like the "fringing reefs" so called,
which have not yet undergone SINH
lar process. Signs of this solvent
action of sea water are everywhere
visible among coral reefs as is also
the effect of atmospheric denudation-
the wear and tear of wind and weather
that has played an important part In
reducing elevated limestone islands
to sea level, Kidding them with
often mistaken for actual lagoons that
have been elevated above the surface

Besides the ever-increasing revenue

Belgium, Germany, England and the

The most important trade with the
Chinese is that of the Yangtze river
which drains the largest and most pro

of the United States in this trade is
