CORAL REEFS.
Natures Methods In Building These
Seashell Monuments.

Natures Methods In Building These
Seashell Monuments.
Coral reefs surround many Of the Is
lands In the Pacific. They protect the
lowlands from the washing of the
waves, and the still waters inclosed by
them are the only harbors of refuge for
ships. The reefs themselves furnish
the greatest peril to navigation, and If
there were no inlet through which a
vessel could enter their protected cir
Gle they would be a danger and nothing
else.
But almost every reef has such an
inlet. 1t is a necessary result of the
laws under which the forces of nature
work. To understand this we must see
how these reefs are formed.
Chemically the reef corals are almost
pure carbonate of lime, the substance
of ordinary limestone and marble. The
reef grows as the shell of the oyster or
any other shellfish grows. 1t is itself
the common and undivided shell of in
Vulnerable polypi, or minute insects
which are being produced and are
dying In successive generations.
These tiny beings get all their living
from the waters of the sea. 1t is from
this source also that they derive the
salts of lime from which they secrete
the bony structure that remains aftel
the animal is dead.
The coral polypl cannot live in fresl
water. Their food supply is brought t.
them by the waves and currents Of tn,
sea. As a result 1t is found that direct
ly opposite the mouth of the strean
from the island the reef does not grow
