In scientific annals the Beagle, in
which Darwin made his first exploring
expedition, is almost as sacredly re-
membered as 'Old Ironsides' in Amer
lean history. This ship has long been
lost from sight, and nobody knew ex-
actly what had become Of it. Toyozi
Noda now writes to Nature that the
Beagle was broken up in Japan, where
it was used as training ship until
1889, and that part of its ribs has

FORMATION and Appearance OF ms ODD
Freak Of Nature.
The Giants causeway is situated at
the northern extremity Of County An.
trim, short distance from Port Rush.
Ireland 1t consists Of countless hosts
Of bas;.itic pillars. varying in shape
from l.antagOn to an Octagon, the av-
erage length of each column or pillar
being about eighty feet the whole
stacked so closely together that knife
blade could hardly be inserted between
them But the formation Of these pill
lars is not the least wonderful part
about them. for although they may be
counted by thousands and tens Of
thousands. each column is fashioned
with symmetry that suggests ma
sons handiwork. Their composition is
a perfect fusion Of one-haif flinty
earth one-quarter lime and clay, one
quarter almost pure iron, each pillar
being divided into regular lengths or
joints which come together as per
feet natural ball and socket union.
Although to be found In small de-
tachments embedded in the cliffs,
sands. ETC., for some distance along
The shore, the principal aggregafions
forming the causeway proper consist
"f three projections or tongues known
as little. middle and grand causeways.
These singular columns are Of differ
enl lengths and present an astonishing
appearance as they stand, an army OF
at least 10000 strong marshaled on
the shores Of Erin as II ever ready to
do battle with the rising tide.
