The Condition ofCoal- making

The carboniferous formation repre-
sents the most wonderful episode in
the history of our globe. 1t gives us
an impression comparable in strange
ness to that produced by those Won
Gerful civilizations which hlossomed
ont so suddenly and 80 splendidly in
the infancy of mankind. Only rare
occurrence of circumstances could
have brought on the expansion OF
plant-groRth which characterized its
epoch. The world Of plants was still
Young and imperfect. Vegetation
was characterized by the abundance
of green parts susceptible of rapla
growth, and os an &lmost indefinite
development. It was, however, des-
ti.ute of two characters which have
been ACQUIRED by the latter PLANTS
those of the periodical aud gradual
increase Of parts destined to endure,
an absolute specialization OF the re-
productive apparatus. The vegetable
kingdom was the first factor in the
production of coal, but not the only
one; and two other factors must be
taken into account in studying its
genesis. One OF these related to the
conditions of the environment, the
climate, and the temperature; tbe
other to the situation ia which the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1883-05-06

plants that were converted into coal
were placed. Had either OF these
conditions been essentially different
or left out, he would have had no
coal. The influence of situation is
shown by the fact that the coal-beds
are always intermitted; and they are
limited in extent, and pass latterly
into shales and ssndstones, so as to
show that there was nothing univer-
cal in the phenomenon. and that it
was liable to interruption by physical
changes. It is also easy to conceive
that tue formation of coal could not
have gone on unless the vegetation
was adapted to the process, and the
conditions OF The climate were suit
able. The cosl-plants could never
have grown and fourished as they
did in the present climate of the
north; and our hardwood trees, with
their firm foundations in the ground,
and their allow. periodical growth,
could pever by de3aying in the open
air have produced the peculiar and
rich combinations We find in the
,oai-beds, Popular Science Monthly.
