crowd the cities that the sun touches
tremulously and aslant.
On November 81, 1909, We bathed at
Moo-Jee, north Queensland, in shallow
water, on the edge Of an area Of de.
nuded coral reef fully two miles long
by mile broad. For three hours .
considerable portion Of the reef had
been exposed to the glare Of the sun.
and the incoming tide dlched the
stored-up heat from coral and stones
and sand.
The first plunge provoked an excla.
nation Of management. for the water
was several degrees hotter than the
air, and it was the hottest hour-three
o'clock in the afternoon-of very hot
day. No thermometer was at hand to
register the actual temperature Of the
water but subsequent tests at the
same spot under similar conditions
proved that the surface stratum Of
about one foot was at 108 degrees
Fahrenheit, from four degrees to six
degrees hotter than the air. Below
that. the temperature Of the water
seemed ordinary. and corresponded
