is done primarily because Of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
aud that coal is Of vegetable origin.
Biologists and scientists in general, how
ever, take a different view Of the matter.
To them the oil is relic Of past geo.
logical ages, as well as Of animals that
lived when the earth was young. In re-
ferring to the genesis Of ''coal oil" they
never think Of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals aud
downfalls of the ear'h's crust, which re-
suited in burying billions Of tons OF
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions OF
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands of feet Of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rock-rending commissions
which biologists are so fond OF telling US
about, have turned into great strata oil

pressed from the great aggregation Of

Cannot TAX, the Bit.

The chief OF the Kansas City (Mo.)
Fire Department has invented new
bride for horses, the use of which
makes it impossible for the horse to
take the bit between his teeth. 1t has
no bit to take. 1t is arranged with a
strap over the horses nose, and steel
curb under his jaw in such way that a
hard pull on the reins make the animal
very uncomfortable indeed. The new
bride works to perfection, it is said, on
a practical test, keeping the horse per-
fcctly under control, while giving hin
the minimum OF discomfort. One grea
advantage of the contrivance is that il
enables the animal to eat aud drink ii
comfort without displacing the bridle.-
