This is n Of the most readable
books on the subject Of Geology that
has ever fallen into our hands. TO US
1t is as charming as a novel. A
teacher could not spend his spare time
to a better purpose than in reading
this charming book. The study Of
Geology is too much undervalued. az
fording as it does one of most fruitful
themes for thought and reflection.

Especial pains have qeen taken to make

Teachers will fad its arrangement Sc
simple that it requires no previors study
of Geology to enable them to teach it
effectively.
To place the book within the reach o,
all, we have put the price very low, aud
have no doubt its general adoption and
study will do much to check tho restless
feeling among the youth of the State,
which causes so many Of them to migrate
to sterile AMI u~nproductive regions,

where the greatest returns are to be had
by properly applied energy.

in preparing the furnace for the recep>

hundred pounds each. The fire was
started about five O'Clock, land the engi>
neer reported sixty pounds of steam in
sixty minutes-fully as quick as that
amount OF steam could be raised with the
best wood and coal. 1t has been found
that one ton will last four hours-six tons
per day. 1t is, of course. too soon to
give an exact estimate of the cost of this
kind Of fuel, but enough is known al
ready to demonstrate that it IS more
economical than either wood or coal.
