The discussion of the probability of

Thames valley aud under the city OF
London. of which there seems to be
considerable evidence. recalls some
interesting facts connected with It's
earliest use in that city. When
coal was first introduced into

tion was taken TO its use. IL appears
that In The beginning of the four

the city. finding the high price OF wood

solved to make some experiments with
coal. but Immediately AN outcry was
raised against them by persons living
near the breweries and forges, the
King WAS petioned and law was
passed prohibiting the burning of
coal within the city. Those who tried

so much superior 10 wood that they
persisted In its use. But so deter

When bathing the face do not open
the eyes under water as this is apt TO
be injurious to the eplthelial covering

never OF colored glass.
