If it ever be your good fur tune to

may see a coral plantation alive
and growing. There is a famous
lighthouse called Cary's fort light
off the coast there, from which such
a sight can be had. Cary's fort
light is built the open sea, with-
out a foot of land about it. It is
an iron framework of columns,
Strengthened by a network of braces

presented on looking from this
cony into the ocean is more wonder-
than can lie well imagined by
one who has not seen it. The coral
field spreads around the light-
house as far as the eye can reach,
and so transparent is tho water that
the ocean bottom can be seen, as
plainly a garden, lying beneath.
The coral field is largely made up
of what called leaf corals, with
large flat branches that grow one
above another, chasing each other
singly and in companies, darting
about, winding in and out the corals
as if in a game of hide and go seek,
and hundreds of fish play among
their spreading

colors, some of a bright blue, others
partly blue and partly black, others
again black blended with yellow,

fish, a shark perhaps, passes by,
and all the small fry scatter, hiding
among the corals, and arc seen no
more till their enemy sight.
Besides the leaf coral there are
many others oven more beautiful to
he seen. Some are in the shape of
huge vases, some are like great
globes, others branch out as do the
horns of the stag, there are
more delicate branching kinds, call-
ed finger corals and great numbers
of sea fans. The sea fans form the
Shrubbery of the sea garden. They
stand on the ocean bottom on a sort
of root, and, unlike the leaf and
branching corals, which are rigid
and motionless, they rise lightly in

undercurrents as if stirred by the
wind. They of many colors,
