Letter From the Coal Regions.

I'VE have received the following letter
from an Elktonian who is at present trying
his fortunes in the Coal Regions
LoNAcoNING, Feb. 10, 1870.
FRIEND EwING:-Tho change from quiet,
unchansing Elkton to this place, is very
great. Your broad fields and compare
lively level country is in broad contrast to
the mountains and woods and rocks and
gorges of this wild looking country. 1t
seems, when here, as though enc had been
transported to another land. There is but
small mixture in the population here of
the American born citizsn-Scotch, princi-
pally-but Welsh and Irish are all largely
represented. Mining is very differently
carried on here from the way it is done i'll
the Pottsville and Mauch Chunk coal re-
gions. The veins here lie almost Hat there
being slight rising in the veins toward the
north sufficient to drain the water from the
parts worked. The vein almost entirely
worked now is situated a considerable dis
lance up the side Of the surrounding noun
tains. When found in any locality on the
mountains side, a mining engineer making
allowance for the ascertained PITCH can
with certainty ascertain the height on the
opposite mountain S side at which the vein
is to be found. The valleys have been
washed out since the formation Of the coal
veins, and this immense amount Of coal
originally one vast level of solid coal, many
feet in thickness-has been torn out from
mountain side to mountain side, and car
ried away-no one knows where. There
are veins of coal lying deeper that underlie
the valleys. The coal from the mouth of
the mine is lowered to the railroad levels i'll
the valleys by means of inclined plains and
wire ropes, winding around large drum.
The track on the plains, laid with 7 rail,
to accommodate the cars that go to every
part of the mines, is made double, SO that
loaded car going down the plain draws
an empty one up. The mining cars hold
about two tons, and are unloaded into the
railroad cars at the bottom of the plain by
means Of a dumping apparatus througha
g schute.' The miners are paid from So
to IS cents per ton, and suppose the Coal
| Cos. would sell their coal here at S1.00
or sl.25 per ton, freights, commissions, and
prcfts making up the remainder Of the
$500 and 5000 per ton, that you have to
pay in Elkton.
The weather here, until Monday evening
last, was as mild and pleasant rs early
Spring, but on that evening, about Z
o'clock, it commenced showing, and on
Tuesday morning, at 6 o'clock, the snow
lay 80 inches upon the ground since then an
additional inches has fallen As write we
are having alterations of sunshine and
snow squalls, the weather being cold, but
not extremely SO.

A Final Zoic Catastrophe.

There are chemical changes now active
on the earth's surface, whose continuance
must inevitably bring about the final ex-
tinction of man, and ultimately that Of all
other life upon our planet.
What furnishes the actual fundamental
chemical nutriment or pabulum Of vital
existence No chemist will contradict,
when | say that it is the carbonic atmos-
phere. How long is this going to last =
There is one mode Of consumption, active
haust the air of its carbonc acid, and thus
put an end to organic life. This agency is
itself due to vital influences. 1t is that by
which marine animals with calcareous
shells or skeletons secretc carbonates from
the ocean water, the carbonic acid Of these
carbonates having been originally derived
from tho atmosphere. Such carboaic acid
thus passes into solid forms, permanent
and forever unavailable thereafter. This
is where the great machine runs down, and
Affinity obtains its final victory over its
mysterious antagonist, Vitality.
Whenever the last melecule Of carbenic
acid produced from the combustion of all
the carbon on the earth shall have been
locked up in this shape, no form of life
now known to us can any longer be posi-
BILE, and the present Zoic Cycle must end.
| Comparatively and geologically speaking,
the end is near: though millions of years
may yet intervene. But lon. before this
end of all life, the atmosphere must gradu-
ally diminish in its capacity to produce
food suitable for man. Man, by burning
up the carbon stored in eras past in the
earth's riscera, is doing his utmost to pre-
serve the status of the machine, possibly
even partially and temporarily reminding
it; but it must continuously run dewn. In
the oceanic debths, this precious consttu-
eut of the air is continually undergoing
GA sea-change
! Into something rich and strange"
