The Ohio Coal Field which forms part
of the great Allegheny Coal Field, occu-
pies about 10000 square miles, or about
one fourth OF the area OF the State The
western flank of the Ohio Coal measures
runs through the counties OF Trumbull
Geauga, Portage. Summit, Medina
Wayne, Holmes. Coshocton. Licking, Per
ry Hooking, Vinton. jackson, Pike and
Scioto. All the territory lying south and
east of the line of outcrop inclose the
Coal measures, while all lying north and
west occupy the older rocks-the subcar
boniferous, Devopian and Salurian for
nations. The dip of the Coal strata is
nearly east, and varies from 20 to 80 feet
to the mile; hence the strata are much
thicker to the east than on the line of
outcrop.
The Coal measures of the State have
been divided by the geologists into the
lower measures" the barren measures"
and the upper measures" The lower
measures are from 450 to $50 feet thick
The barren are about 500 feet thick. and
the upper measures about 600 feet Only
the lower measures are found in Jacks son
county. The barren and upper forma-
tions being wanting by reason of the
structure of the Coal field. The Coal
mined in the village of Jackson is the
lower coal of the State series, and is met
resting on the conglomerate rock, the
foundation stone on which the coal strata
rest. The hill Coal is the equivalent of
the Wellston Shaft Coal, and Is ITO feet
higher up in the series. The Shaft Coal
OF jackson village is the equivalent of
the Briar Hill Coal of the Mahoning Val
ley and the Massillon Coal of the Tuscar.
awas Valley; all of these districts, the
seam is found irregularly deposited in
basin or swamps. and is often wanting
where due. In these districts also this
Coal is open burning in character, re.
markably free from sulphur or other im-
purities, and is cons. quentiy especially
adapted for smelling iron in a raw ,ttte
The Hill or Wellston Coal appears to
have its best development east OF Eure
kaville AS it goes under cover it in
creases in thickness, reaching, and even
exceeding 4 feet in the Shaft mines Of
Wellstop, while at Eurekaville it reaches
to 81 and 3 feet, and still continues to
lose height in outh-westernly course
This Coal is also met in the Mahoning
and Tuscarawas Valleys, but it is usually
too thin to be of any commercial value
for the present at least. The jackson
Shaft Goals, and the Wellston Shaft Goals,
including the Eurekaville mines, are
alike open burning in character, and fit
ted for furnace use in a raw state. Both
seams contain large per cent of carbon
from 81 to SO per CT Mt. but the Shaft
Coal of jackson ntains more ash than
the Wellston seam. and is consequently
not so highly prised for house use.

Epicureanism.

Epicurus was born in Greece, B $40
and died at the age of Y. He was the
founder of the system Of philosophy y
known as Epicureanism. This pbiloso
ply teaches that physical pleasure, the
qualification of the senses. is the supreme
object OF human life. 1t ignores every
thing like duty, self denial, intellectual
and moral worth, and Immortality. 1t
does not recognize human life as having
any moral significance 1t makes man
simply a smart animal. Its motto is
Lets eat and drink, for tomorrow we
die" 1t says to man Take no concern
about the future, get all the pleasure out
OF lite you possibly can, and thus fulfill
the end of your being
In every age of the world there has
