The Fairy-Land of Science

We
cannot
stop
to
examine
all
about
coral
now,
we
are
only
learning
how
to
learn,
but
surely
our
specimen
is
already
beginning
to
grow
interesting;
and
when
you
have
followed
it
out
into
the
great
Pacific
Ocean,
where
the
wild
waves
dash
restlessly
against
the
coral
trees,
and
have
seen
these
tiny
drops
of
jelly
conquering
the
sea
and
building
huge
walls
of
stone
against
the
rough
breakers,
you
will
hardly
rest
till
you
know
all
their
history.
Look
at
that
curious
circular
island
in
the
picture,
covered
with
palm
trees;
it
has
a
large
smooth
lake
in
the
middle,
and
the
bottom
of
this
lake
is
covered
with
blue,
red,
and
green
jelly
animals,
spreading
out
their
feelers
in
the
water
and
looking
like
beautiful
flowers,
and
all
round
the
outside
of
the
island
similar
animals
are
to
be
seen
washed
by
the
sea
waves.
Such
islands
as
this
have
been
build
entirely
by
the
coral
animals,
and
the
history
of
the
way
in
which
the
reefs
have
sunk
gradually
down,
as
the
tiny
creatures
added
to
them
inch
by
inch,
is
as
fascinating
as
the
story
of
the
building
of
any
fairy
palace
in
the
days
of
old.
Read
all
this,
and
then
if
you
have
no
coral
of
your
own
to
examine,
go
to
the
British
Museum
and
see
the
beautiful
specimens
in
the
glass
cases
there,
and
think
that
they
have
been
built
up
under
the
rolling
surf
by
the
tiny
jelly
animals;
and
then
coral
will
become
a
real
living
thing
to
you,
and
you
will
love
the
thoughts
it
awakens.
