1t was remarkable figure through
out. Quite slender, emaciated in fact;
with long arms and legs. and slender
waist, conveying, one would say, rather
the idea Of professional man; but the
face was one among ten thousand. and
one never to be forgotten long. thin,
worn. not by disease, but watchfulness,
long travel, suspicion and anxiety; with
a restless, thin-lipped mouth, that was
never still; a short, sharp chin, that
rose and fell, and occasionally seemed to
close up and almost disappear under the
thin, sickly-loeking, yellowish nous
tache, SO that moustache. lips and chin
were blended in one. Grey eyes, with
changing shades, that betrayed various
feelings, but never kindness; and most
remarkable Of all. long, large nose that
dominated over his face; not Jewish,
nor Roman, nor Greek nose. but a
nose by itself, not exactly human; a nose
like fox or wolf Straight back,
sloping at an angle, almost as great as
that of the nose, was foref cad, smooth,
white, and broad, which, had it been
upright, ould have been fine feature,
but it lay down, so to speak, after the
cruel fashion one sees in cats, leopards,
tigers, wolves and the baser and crueler
sorts Of carniverous animals. Across the
forehead was long, thread like scar.
perceptible only ON close inspection, and
said to have been made in childhood
There was, to make the face more
singular, deep depressions below the
temples. The mass of rather small
head was behind and above the ears;
but not Immediately behind them, SO as
to give the thick neck common in the
lower order of criminals; on the other
hand, the neck was long, slender and
sinewy, and quite fair. and displayed by
a turning collar. The complexion was
hard to describe: it was doubtless
bleached from confinement, and might
become bronze from exposure in the
sun. The thin, fine brown hair, and the
color of the moustache indicated a
blonde; there were dusky spots, as il the
man had black skin dimly showing
through white one.
The face was one to be studied and
studied again, aud might then tell very
little. His occupation, for instance, could
hardly be guessed. A half dozen sug-
gested themselves to the writer, and were
discarded. But whatever they were the
idea Of dishonor, treachery and wicked
ness was associated with each. A con.
fidence man; a sneak gambler ito which
the long slender fingers gave credence);
a wandering dentist, using chloroform
to debauch his femnle patrons; an inter
mittent scboolrnaster of limited educa-
tion and villainous tendencies; q shower
OF counterfeit money, but not maker
Of it; clerical deadbeat. There was
nothing bold or brave, or manly or
open, about the face; nothing Of the
hero, even of the cheapest sort, about
it. And yet, when the singular combi-
nation of mouth, nose, mustache and
chin, OF which We have spoken, took
place, shadow Of internal cruelty stole
over the whole countenance. to the roots
Of the hair and The edges Of the ears.

former is of most consequence the
smelter. After describing the other
kinds of coal the lecturer proceeded
to say, coal occurs in beds or masses.
One at Pottsville Penn, is 80 feet
thick. There is always mass of
fire. clay below coal bed. On the
roof or substance above the coal bed
much of its value depends, because,
according to its solidity, so the mine
can be easily worked or not. Beds
of coal vary much in purity, and are
always found inter-stratified with
shale and carbonaceous slate resem-
bling coal in color.
The fire-clay below was the origi.
nal soil in which the coal trees grew.
We still find their roots there (stlg-
maria.) The Norfolk Island pine
(seen here9 corresponds most to the
trees of the Coal Age. Chief
amongst these trees were Sigillaria,
something like a pine tree without
branches, height 60 or 20 feet, leaves
dropping off left scars on trunk in
perpendicular columns; the roots
bi1urcated. An axe would bury it.
self in the trunk, as only one quar-
ter of the trunk was solid-the
centre. This tree is an example of
the progress of science. At first,
its roots, trunks, leaves and fruit
were all supposed to be Of different
origin; now they were referred to
the one source. The Calamite, a
gigantic securing rush; ferns; the
apidodendron, q gigantic club-moss,
were next mentioned. The coal
which the decay of this vegetation
gave rise to was only about one
twelfth of the volume of the original
vegetation, so that to produce bed
of coal thirty feet thick, three hun
dred and sixty feet of vegetation
was required. The lecturer then
explained the use of this luXuriant
vegetation at period when there
was no life. First, when the world
was in process Of formation, all the
ocean, ETC., was in the atmosphere.
The steam first condensed as the
earth grew cooler and formed the
water of the ocean. Then the vari-
Gus gases condensed and made the
ocean salt. This relieved the at
mosphere of everything but the car
bonic acid gas, so fatal to animal,
but so necessary to vegetable life.
This luxuriant vegetation then came
into existence and relieved the at
mosphere of that, SO that the world
was fitted for the reception of ami
NAL life which was not possible even
for reptiles till that age was over.
The whole scheme of this earth S
history has been planned by an in
telligent being, as Job says, "Speak
to the earth and it shall teach thee"
The lecturer then concluded amid
rounds of applause. Owing to the
short notice the audience was COM
paratively small.

OK Thursday evening next our
readers will observed that Professor
Hitchcock will deliver the second
last of his valuable scientific lectures
in the Lyceum. The subject will
be, "Life in the Later Geological
Periods" We can promise all those
who attend the value of their money
in sound information.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1883-03-07
THE Goal AGE.

Prof. Hitchcock introduced his
lecture on the above subject by
short disquisition on the geological
periods, which were agreed on by
scientific men. First, there is the
Azoic period (without life), Of
which the rocks are never seen on
the surface, and which we know of
only by reasoning; then the Eozoic
or dawn of life; then the Pa!aeozoic
or ancient life period; then the Mes
ozoic and the Cainozoic or period of
recent life. The age of coal began
about the end of the Palaeozoic
period, and therefore about the
middle of the worlds history. At
the beginning of this period was the
epoch Of the induction of animal life.
We have glimpses Of both marine
vegetation and traces Of the remains
of rhizopods, allied to the sponge
family in the shape of calcareous
reefs thousands of feet in thickness.
At this time the land was an arid
waste, without sign Of life. The
water was shallow and warm. The
original heat had not dried out of
the earth's crust. The air was thick
and moist. The sky was covered
with dense clouds, and the sun was
probably never seen. This was the
condition of the earth in the Eozoic
age when the foundation of all the
continents were laid. The lecturer
then went on to describe the time of
formation of the series of rocks
which interviewed between this period
and the Coal Age, illustrating his
remarks by n geological map of the
United States. The coal measures
occupied central position in the
vast area of North America, though
more to the East, thus locating the
manufacturing districts in that di-
rection, while the agricultural and
mining districts were towards the
West.
Then he gave clear and necessarily
brief descriptions Of the animal life
at the beginning of that age. The
trilobite, q crustacean like the crab
or lobster, the orthoceros (straight
horny allied to the nautilus, and
sometimes having shell 10 feet
long. The oldest known fish (gano-
id) came in in the Devonian age,
but was more like shark than q
common fish. 1t had n higher OF
more gcneralized type of structure
than the common fish, and was coy-
cred with a thick coat of enamel,
and often reached length of 80 OF
40 feet. (Thls is an example of the
fact that the simpler types of life die
not always come into existence first. J
Coal is nearly pure carbon, and il
almost entirely derived from the re
mains of vegetation. Liguite (i.e.
a preserved trce) bituminous (ordi
nary) coal, anthracite (stone coal,
are the chief varieties.
Still it is not to be supposed tina
all coal was formed at this perio'
(the coal age); some was forme'
earlier and some later, but the great
est portion was formed at this time
For instance: the coal Oh the Yves
coast was formed at a later period
and is not SO good as coal from th
East. Nine hundred and ninety-nin
tliousandths of the coal known

kinds, caking and non-caking, Th
