THE OMAHA D QUEER FACTS ABOUT CORAL Taming a Coral Animal-Fishing for Specimens. *“You would hardly think,”" the owner of a fine collection of coral said, “‘that a coral animal could be tamed, Come now!” The reporter, romembering the trained oysters at the aquarinm, was non-commital, “Well,” the owner continued, hold- ing up n specimen, I found this on the reef in Florida, and, wishing to watch its growth, I put it where 1 could observe it every day. For a long time, as soon as I came near the spot, the polyps would dart into their cells, but after w s had gone by 1 noticed that some of them remained out and gradually came out while 1 stood there, and finally they would all stay in bloom, even with my hand in the water. They had become noquaint- ed with me and knew that T wouldn't hurt them, and T think I'm the first man that ever tamed an aniinal so low down in dife. It took 53,000,000 coral animals to build that head,” pointing to a fine oval placo of the kind called porites, about twelve foet in diameter, “‘and 100,000 polyps to build this head of asterac. You see it is coarser, and there are many more cells to the square inch, These aud the branch corals ave the best for selling, and wo ship tons every year. There is a great demand from colleges and schools for sets of the ditferent kinds, together with the fans and plumes that look like corals. Aun ordinary set can besold for §15 to &20, and then they run up into the hun- dreds, according to their variety and shape. You can got small pieces of common kinds for 50 cents and up- ward. Here is a little picce called caryophillia, one of the most beauti- ful of all corals, You see how quisite the radiating partitions are, and the whole thing is aperfect flower in shape. I valued it at $5, and brought it up myself from a coral reef about seventy miles from Cuoa in about twenty feet of water. They have been seen to gleam with a phos- phorescent flame, The majority of corals—the leaf, branch, and brain kinds—we find in shallow water, and by taking a boat you can fill it with the branch or madrepore as fast as you can pick it up by wading along. It's rough work, though, on your hands and feet, and requires & good deal of care, as the slightest jar breaks the tips. Fordeeper water we used long coral hooks something like oyster hooks, only more delicato,” “Then you do your own collect- ing.” “Yes; it’s combining business with pleasure with me, and I'm sure to get what T want. You write to Bshama, Bermuda, or the Florida reei for coral and get the first they can pick up— the rough picces that won't sell. It's a grand sight dnfting along over a coral reef, especially way down on the lower Florida reef. The shoals are covered with branch and leaf corals, giving the whole a rich brown tint, while here and there blue, deep chan- nels wind in and out, their sidus bristling with coral right up and down for twenty, thirty, and fifty feet, and the water is so clear you can see the small shells,” “Then you water.” ‘‘Not necessarily. We have a boat built for the purpose. A square is cut out of the bottom, and a pane of thick glass set in, so all you have to do is to sit and look down, In deep water I have used the calcium light with great effect, directing the light down through the glass, which is, of course, under water, or helow the y It looks queer and ghostly, ly at night, lighting up the bottom around for twenty-five feet, and as you drift along, the light pene- trating all the crevices in the bottom, you catch a glimpse of everything, and hundreds of strange fish that are attracted by it. If a rare piece of coral or a shell is passed, you can dive for it or pick it up with a hook, though diving is the easiest plan. “‘See under water! Why, as plain as you can above, and in the light. I believe you could pick upa pin. Yes, the water about there is full,of sharks, but I never heard of anyone being bitten, and I never think of it. Here is an interesting specimen,” holding up a common brick with a beautiful oval coral growing on it. “You know scientific men, or a good many, claim that coral grows very slowly— about an inch in a hundred years, Well, thislittle piece of brick disproves all that, as when I found it first the coral, called meandrina-convexa, was one inch in diameter. Iput it back, and in exactly a year it measured two inches in diameter, a gain of an inch a must have smooth year, The branch coral grows faster yet. About twenty years ago a brig went ashore on the reef, and slid oft 1n about fifty feet of water. Her bottomn is partly eaten and her hold just full of living, ng coral that I should estimate is fifteen feet high. That's over six inches a year on a rough estimate. But for these big heads that weigh a ton or more 1t takes a long time to reach a big size. T know of one head mere than twenty-five feet across and ten feet high, It would be worth $500 up here, but it can't be moved. If it was near the channel we might rig a derrick and lift it aboard; but it isn’t, and to roll it over would spoil it, ‘‘Here's what they call pepper coral; I sell a good deal of that, Just taste a bit of it; ‘twon’t hurt the simplest person,” A bit of the millepore was touched to the tongue, and in the next min- ute tears were flowing profuscly. 1t was worse than virgin red pepper, seeming to burn into the tongue, and lasting some time, “This and some of these others,” the collector said, pointing to a lot on the shelf of very delicate design, “‘are secreters, but not yet what we call actinoid polyps. They are hydroids, Almost everyone would say they were ordinary corals, but their young are jelley-fishes, who in turn give birth to hydroids— alternate generation, they call it. Prof. Agassiz discovered if, and it is quite interesting to geologists, who are thus enabled to prove that there are jelly-fishes in the oldest rocks, not bocause they find them, as, of course, the delicate forms have long since disappeared, but they find the parent millepore, and thereby know that the jelly-fish must have been there, Here is an interesting contrast to the astra, with its many cells” (holaing up & piece about a foot long, radiating to LY BEE: | arated by a number of partitions that | acter, and this is so - THURSDA the centre). “‘Tt's a coral of only one polyp, the fungia, and when the ani- mal is alive it completely hides the coral, Their is a good demand tor them, as they show clearly how the animal does the work, A good many persons have an idea that the coral animal goes to work as a man would | to build a house. The truth is the| coral is deposited in just the same way a8 our bones are, You see tho| animal s a mere sack containing a | stomach, the upper surface decked out with tentacles, and the body sep. extend from the stomach to thy outer skin. Now, right in between these | walls of flesh the carbonate of lime is | deposited, giving it the radiate char | with all true corals, In this fungia you see them two inches high and three long, and | the big furrow down the centre was the opening for the mouth and stom ach.” He Was Deovoted. From the rooklyn Kagle It was his vacation, and they were seated under the branches of a great apple tree, contented with each other's society and silently communing with nature, His arm had inadvertently found its way about her slender forn, and her head had gradually found a resting place upon his manly padded shoulder. They were dreaming of the happy days to come, when together they should walk over the varied path- way of life, when she suddenly turned ler melting eyes upon him and half- whispered: “Shall you always be so contented with my society, Addy?’ (His name was Adolphus, and she called him Addy for short.) “Always, darling,” he murmured, and the pressure about her form: in- crensed. “You will never, never grow tired of me, but constantly reman by my side?” “Constantly, Angy,” he said, name was Angelina,”) “Remember, Addy, dear, we are to be together for n hgltimv. You are sure you will not weary of my pre ence?” ““Sure,” he whispered fervently, as he brushed a bug from her dress. ““Angy,” T will be always at your feet. Always close to your sweet form to guard and protect my treasure from the dangers and trials of this wicked, bad world,” and he looked volumes of love into Ler blue eyes. You wiil never, never desert me for another woman; you will keep firm in your love, and remain faithful until death calls one or the other of us to a better world?’ she usked, switching o large fly from her car, “Nothing that folks might say will ever tempt you to desert my side?” “Nothing, nothing, Angy,” ho said. “The whole worln might rise up arainst you, but it would still find me steadfast in my love. Oceans may separate us, we may be parted for years, but neither time nor space will influence my devotion. Tam yours till death, he said passionately, as he grabbed a large Leetle that was slowly making its way up his leg. ‘‘Yes, yours till death, my pearl, beyon—" “Here, let me go,” she sud sud- denly, eding away from him., You are altogeiher too constant. T am not one of those girls who enjoy hav- ing a man knocking about under foot all the time, and I'm afraid you won’t do,” and she left him a crushed weed, broken by the willfullness of woman. (Her The Yorktown Centennial. Philadelphia Recorid, In a month fromnow the Yorktown centennial will be over, The prepar- ations already made leave no reason to doubt that the celebration cf the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to the combined forces of the United States and France, October 19, 1781, which substantially closed the revolutionary war, will be worthy the historic sig- nificance and dignity of the event commemorated, Although owing to the long illness of President Garfield ending in his death the country will miss what would have doubtless been, judging by his great speech at Get- tysburg, one of the finest orations ever delivered in America, scarce- ly any other desirable attraction will be lacking to the interest of the oceasio It 18 & pity that the monu- wment provided for by congress could not huve been gotten in readiness to be unveiled as a conspicuous feature of the appointed ceremonies, and that those who attend will have to content themselves with witnessing merely the laying of its corner-stone. But the pageant will be an imposing one, perhaps the most so of all the centen- nial demeonstrations of the last seven years. The series was fittingly com- menced with the celebration at Con- cord, Lexington, in April, 1875, closely followed by that at Charlotte, | North Carolina, in May of the same year. Patriotic reminiscence rose to the proportions of a mnational jubilee here in Philadelphia in 1876, and it is now about to culminate at Yorktown. The month of September a hundred years ago was pm}phutic with the promise of a successful consummation of the revolution, 1t was the begin- ning of the end. So well arranged were the plans of Washington and Lafayette--the two men to whom more than to any others the republic owes its being a8 such - and so con- tident especially was Washington of the result, that he took his first vaca- tion for six years, and made a five days visit to his home at Mount V. non, going thither on September 9 and, after hospitably entertaining his own suite, General Chastellux and Count de Rochambeau, returning to duty September 14, on which day he reached Lafayette's headquarters, at Williamsburg, Lafayetto was then just 24 years of age, September G be- ing his virthday. It was to this chiv- alrous young Frenchman, who gave his services without pay, that the powerful intervention ot Louis XVI of France in favor of the colonists was mainly aue, The whole army of Cornwallis, 7,000 strong, and had been concen- trated at Yorktown and Gloucester on Augpst 22, The Count de Grasse, having set sail from the West Indics, had arrived in the Chesapeake, Au- gust 31, with twenty-cight ships and several brigades. Recviving full in- formation of the situation from an officer sent to meet lim at Cape Henry, Count de Grasse immediately sent four ships of the line and several frigates to blockade the mouth of York river, and to convey the land forces under the command of the Mar- quis St. Simon to join those of Lafay- M PTEMBER 29, 1881 ~ i thus effectually bottled up. He tried to get away, but was disappointed by the vigilance of Lafayette, On September b, 1781, occurred a naval action of great importance in its relations to the approaching siege. The French fleet lay in Lynuhaven Bay, just within the Chesapeake. Count de Grasse promptly advanced to the encounter. The engagement soon became extremely warm botween tho vans of the oppoking flects, and | the result was a repulse of the British adimiral from his intended attack aftar a heavy loss of lifo on both sides. Admiral Barnes arrived at ginia, on September transports to move the troops at Baltimore to the new thea- tre of the war. They embarked at An- s for the James riv Septem b the remaining troops reached amsburg, making a total 12,000, besides 4,000 militia, September 28 the entire army advanced and took a position within two miles of the Brit- ish advanced works. On the follow- ing day began the movement for en- circling Yorktown and elosing in on the doomed rison, By October 1 the investment was substantially com- plete. South Amorican Butter Markot. T'he \lmrf'un'n of this country have, if they will only properly cultivate it, a wild field for their dairy products in South Ameriya, v-rucix\Uy in Brazil, i A number of the 1 an states or provinees and towns consume im- ported butter in considerable quanti- ties, some of which is mado in the United States, but by far the greatest quantity—indeed the bulk of it—is made in Burope. Our butter dairy- men will do well to investigate this outlet for the American product, ascertain what is required by the taste of the consumers, und fill such re- quirement with the desired goods, France and Denmatk, as will be seen by the infarmation we have condensed from the Mileh Zeitung, supply the most of the foreign butter consumed in Brazil, and we are not willing to admit that those countries are ahead of our own intellizent daivymen m the excollence of their products, The climate of Brazil is o hot that few persons undertake to make but- ter, and this condition of things will doubtless continue for a long time at least. The provinee of Santos consumes about 20,000 pounds of butter per month, and is supplied principally from France. Tt is sent mostly in tins of 1, 2, 4, 20, and 60 pounds. Tu Rio Grande the small consumption is supplied mostly from France. Porto Alegre, which~ consumes some 6,000 pounds monthly, was formerly su plied by the English; but the French and Danish merchants have supplant- ed them, The price of butter in tins is 67 to 77 cents per pound. Tho butter market of Bahia is of considerable extent, The annual im- portation 18 somothing Sover 41,200, 000 pounds, The larger part of this is French butter, a small part Eng lish, some Danish and some Amen- can. In Rio de Janeiro the market amounts to 2,000,000 pounds per year, which was formerly supplied al most wholly by England; but France now hasthe largest™ share - about 1,200,000 pounds; Denmark 600 pounds, and the United Statesand other countries 200,000 pounls. We send some to this market in tins, Para consumes some 400,000 pounds and was formerly supplied by Ireland with butter too much salted, but Den- mark sent a better article in tins, and during the past few years Normandy lias sent a considerable proportion of itin ting. The United States have sent a few thousand pounds, —Praine Farmer. ' Worthless Stuff.

A New York correspondent to the ‘Litusville Herald thus describes a new sleeping car just invented: “Its cor struction is very simple, 89 much so that its cost over that of an ordinary passenger coach is only about $1,000. 1t combines a number of advantages over the Pullman or Wagner cars, which have already won for it many friends among the railroad men, 1In the first place its weight is about sev- en or eight tons less than the Pull- man or Wagner car, One of the prin- aipal objections to the Pullman and Wagner cars from railroad men is the great weight at the top of the car, which gives so much of that swinging motion 8o hard on the rolling stock and disagreenble to travelers, Thisis all obviated in the new car, which is at the top like an ordinary passenger car, The upper berths in the Pullman and Wagner are above the windows, and therefore poorly veutilated and dark, ot what iy",(ht comes from the windows in the top of tho car, butin the new car the window is divided between the upper and lower berths by its peculiar arrangement, In the new car the two berths can be used each independently of the other, and each has its own enclosures, No curtaing are used, which in the old cars are always flapping and shaking ovt dust, but instead a sort of inclos: ure of wooden slats on end, which work like the iron shutters to store windows. Thoey are pulled out from behind the seat and run on rollers working very casily. Kach berth has its key and each can be locked from the inside, affording safety to passen- gers, Kach slat laps over the next, caving a small open space for the cir- culation of air.” A company called the American Palace Sleeping Car compuny, with ex-United States Sen- ator Cragin as president and Isaiah . Emery as sccretary, has been recently formed for the manufacture and sale of these cars, Several orders have already boen received, and the many friends the company have already made predict for it a great success, “ROUGH ON RA The thing desired found at last, Ask druggist for “PZough on Rats,” It clears out rats, wice, rouches, flies, bed Lugs; 15¢ otte on the James, Cornwallis was boxes, i At sunriso the British fleet of Admiral | Graves, consisting of nincteen sail of the line, was discernod off Cape| [Charles. ” The wind being fair the British fleet sailed at once within the capes to attack the French ships Wil- | linmsburg, then the capitel of Vir- | 10, having sent | American | 'THOUSANDS TURNED FROM OUR DOORS EVERY DAY, P.
