Home of the Coco de Mer.

j. Stanley Gardiner contributes 20 a
scientific contemporary some Interesting
notes on that group of Islands on tire
Indian Ocean known as the Seychelles.
The double cocoanut. or coco DER
mer.,,' was long known as walt OF the
sea before its home was found to be in
the Seychelles Archipelago. It was
thought to be the fruit of a submarine
nalm. and for some curious reason was
esteemed an antidote to poison. cont
manding a high price as SUCH 1t was
frequently cast up on the Maldlve
Islands and other coasts. and 1t Is q
remarkable fact that, although thus
freely carried about by the waves. It
ha, never succeeded in establishing Itself
on new lands.
The palm tree Il .oidoicea Seychellarun)
which bears the. double cocoanut seems
to he confined to one island OF the
group, namely, Praslin. Mr.. Gardiner
speaks OF the tree as the finest OF the
species growing on the Islands. An ex-
animation OF some 300 Of these douplc
nuts showed that there were two FORMS
OF quite different structure growing on
the same tree In about equal numbers,

masses and reefs of coral. the 1ac.
that the islands consist OF masses OF
solid granite resembling those OF MAZDA
Rasoar rather favors the idea that they
are the remains Of submerged land
mass. The evidence collected BY Mr..
Gardiner, and his companion, however
points rather to elevation than suhs'-
denee, Thus masses Of coral were found
adhering to tho granite at heights OF
from is to 30 feet above the loW-tide
level In other parts there is evidence
az 4 more ancient elevation OF 1000 feet
The deep canons cut by the mountain
brooks in the granite hills point to n
considerable antiquity for the land. On
the whole, Mr., Gardiner is inclined to
question the view of the former connec-
tion OF these islands with any great land
mass,

Bishop Turner's utterances no more rep

The bishops sacrileion and fulminations
