The Origin Of Coal.

The received opinion that vein of
coal simply represents a mass of vege.
tation, which has been changed directly
into that substance, is opposed by nj.
Frenzy. Some time ago he adopted a
synthetic measure to discover the real
secret of the manner in which coal was
produced, and his experiments appear
to show that while fiber could not be
converted into anything resembling
coal, certain substances of vegetable or
igin, such as sugar, starch, gum, vascu-
lose, etc., did admit Of that conversion.
An artificial coal made Of these latter
materials yielded tar, gas, water and
coke, just like ordinary pit coal. Gum,
inclosed with water in sealed tube.
and subjected to heat, was changed into
q coal containing rs per cent. of carbon,
5 per cent. of hydrogen, and Is per cent.
of oxygen. His conclusions are that
coal is not the direct result of vegetable
substances; that the impressions of
plants sometimes found in it have been
produced after the modification was es-
tablished, and that there are two stages
in its fermentation of peat. and the sec
ond of the transformation of alnic ecid
into mineral fuel, under the isint &C.

Add as You Are Able.

Avenerable and distinguished Bishop
once advised body of ministers as fol-
lows: sOwe no man more than you are
able to pay; and permit no man to owe
you more than you are able to lose."
A rational application of this advice
would divest the credit system of many,
II not of all its Objectionable features.
Consistent with the first part of the
e1hortatlon, young men-and older
ones as welfare admonshed to be
content with gradual addition to their
property Of any kind. II one has not
the money to spare for much, let him
confine himself to the little. After Q
while he can easily venture on another
part ; and, after waiting and earning, on
still another and another, and another,
either paying as he goes, or surely
avoiding heavy Indebtedness. Do not
attempt too much at once. Do what
you can afford this time, and put of
the other things to another time. Don't
try to build too much and too fast.
Don't buy at once all the furniture you
would like to see in your house. I'm
prove and increase your implements
and stock by degrees. A little that is
paid for is far better than much that
you owe for. Debt, bankruptcy and
distress come often from burdening the
present for the sake of the future. It
is easier to pay little debts every now
aud then, than to pay large debt at
one time. All who have tried them
know that large debts are costly and un.
pleasant things.

A Stone House.

We suppose it is known to but . few
that there is, in the extreme north
Western part Of Bristol county, in the
town OF Eaton, . phenomenon of nature.
Known rs the "Rock House Cave" or
Lovers Retreat" but such is the fact.
Inc whole house, complete on three
ndes, is formed by only three large
rocks. The size of this room is about
eleven feet square. It's evenly-cut
sides. wholly by natures hand, are
pleasing to the eye, but the most strik-
ing feature Of all is the back rock, which
forms the roof, by it's overhanging
front, not unlike an old-fashioned
chaise-top. Our better half was with
us on this visit, and, in passing round
the outside of the house, saw a string
hanging from the top of the overhang-
ing rock which forms the roof; she gave
It agentle pull, and 10, and behold Mr..
Trse-toad held the other end of the
string in his mouth, and allowed him
self to be drawn several feet before he
let go. During the time as he passed
over the moss with which the rock is
partially covered, he changed his colors,
a Ia chameleon, giving us, on small
scale, beautiful exhibition. This
rock house is situated near the old
muster field, and the locality is known
as Daileys HILL" and is well worthy
OF visit.-Fall River (Mass.) Ners.
