Formation of Coal Deposits.

From a lecture delivered by Pro
fcssor Williamson, before the British
Association at Bradford, we extract
the following interesting account OF
the formation Of coal beds: II mus,
be understood that, t,allhough the earth
was popularity regarded as the type OF
everything that was staple and i'm.
movable, this was very erroneous
idea, for old Mother Earth was about
one of the most iickle and inconsistent t
Of all the jades with which men have
to deal. She was never still. 1t hap.
pens that at the present day there are
certain regions, such as the volcanic
districts, which arc always moving
upwards, while there were Others. like
the coral regions, which were steadily
going downwards. So it had been in
the olden time. The coal beds an
peared to have accumulated in the lat.
ter class Of areas---the areas of depres.
sion, geographical areas-in which the
earth had tendency TO sink below
the level of the ocean. Upon such
areas mud and silt had accumulated
until the deposit thus formed had
reached the level of the water, and
then came what appears to have been
highly necessary US preliminary to
the growth OF the coal material-viz..
a bed OF blue mud. IL was not known
why that blue mud was there. or
whence it came; but it was as certain
as that garden plants required favora.
bio soils for their development, that
whatever its origin, the blue mud was
the soil which seemed TO have been
preferred by the great majority of
plants constituting the forests of the
carboniierous era. In il the minute

which afterwards became coal, germi.
mated aud struck out, until eventually
the muddy soil was converted into
magnificent and almost tropical forest.
AS the forest grow, tho spores fell
from the trees, halLdead leaves and
decayed branches also dropped, and
the stems themselves gave way and
thus an immense amount of vegetable
matter was accumulated. This in tho
progress of time, sank below tho wa.
Yer level, and more mud being de.
posted on the coal, the new formation,
n turn, underwent the same processes

new forest was formed, to share the

New Houses.

The coincidence of a mans moving
into a new house and dying soon after
has frequently been q subject of rc-
mark, and there is an avoidable cause
the house is moved into before the
walls and plaster and the wood arc suf.

of death is the poisonous character of
the water conveyed through new lead
pipes. No water for drinking or cook
ing purposes should bo used in build.

Stage Representations.

Tho thunder Of the stage, says Olive
Logan, is easily represented. If the
roaring of Jove's artillery is supposed
TO be far away, large leaf of sheet
iron dangling from the flies, shaken
gradually with faster and faster
movement, will give a sufficiently
good idea Of it. This is the common
mode of making stage thunder, but it
does not always satisfy the exacting.
A common mode OF "raising thun-
der" when the clap is supposed to be
near and terrific, is by contrivance
of wood, and somewhat resembles u
Venetian blind. 1t makes a great
noise, giving q series OF irregular
shocks, which, combined with the rat
ting of sheet-iron, initiates a frightful
thunderstorm pretty closely.
A snow-storm is represented at the
theatre by small pieces of white paper
showered down from above by men
placed in the flies. Tho illusion is
not very striking, as, like the "supes"
under the sea-cloth, some of the assist
ants are apt TO slur their work, and
the result is an absence of the consist
ency OF nature. The coats and hats
of actors who are supposed TO have
been out in the snow are generally
well busted with flour, which, violent
ly contradicting natural laws in its
character of snow-tbough faithfully
obeying them in its character of flour
docs not melt away in the least
when the actor comes in by the fre-
side.
Machines for initiating the roaring
Of the wind are numerous, and sue.
,eod to perfection. One is a sim
pie structure OF wood, with q broad
band Of silk running over a wooden
wheel. When the wheel is turned.
he wind is heard to roar. The noise
'f arriving carriages is easily man.
lged by simply running a pair of
wheels behind the scenes. The crack.
ng of whips is produced by throwing
mall torpedoes on the floor. Animal
'ries are initiated by various machines;
'ut nothing so resembles the brayine
NJ donkey as the voice of man who
las made it his special study.

" | .
Not many weeks ago wealthy and
middle aged bachelor Of San Fran
ciso espoused one Of She fairest daugh-
ters Of that city, and the wedding was
celebrated In one OF the most fashion
ablo churches and In the presence OF
an assembly OF the creme dc Ia CRIME
Of San Francisco society. The BRIDE
groom was forty-ninor and he had
once boon anything but sober and
Industrious citizen. There had even
been rumors 10 the effect that when
he made the overland journey he left
behind him in "the states" wife and
two children, ana these rumors were
awkwardly revived when his recent
marriage was first announced. But
nothing came Of the gossip. The
forty miner was now undeniably rich
and respectable, and people were gem
orally disposed to pass over his an
teccdents without suhjecting them to
scrutiny that might prove disagreea-
ble. And so the wedding day arrived.
When tho forty miner and his bride
turned from their places in front Of
the altar, after the clergyman had
pronounced them man and wife, tho
spectators were astonished to see
tall, dismal looking and sable habted
man rise from place in one of the
front pcws, approach the Bridegroom
and gently tap him on tho shoulder.
The effect of this proceeding on the
forty-niner was rather singular, for
his countcnance assumed ghastly ex-
preston, and be quickly resigned his
newly-made wife TO her friends, and
turned anxiously to the stranger, who
simply remarked, 81 wish 10 talk with
you moment privately, sir" The
forty-nincr struggled hard to conceal
his emotion, and finally said: ~ as
sure you, sir, bat-that-wbat in
thunder did you come at such time
as this for ?" "a moment will Suffice"
replied the funeral looking gentleman
firmly; 'please step into this pew"
The forty-niner did so, while the as
sembled company busted itselfin wink
ng and whispering and looking altern-
ately at the fainting bride and the
agonized bridegroom. "When man
gets married, SIR" said the dismal
gentleman, ''it is necessary for him to
