ON THE WAY TO CHURCH, :

There is one know. see her sometimes pass
In the morning streets upon her way to mass;1
A calm, sweet woman, with unearthly eyes.
Men turn to look at her, but never stop,
Reading in those blue depths the death of
hope,
And wise chastisement for thoughts un-
wise.
Pure is her brow, as of a marble saint;
Her brown hair pencils it with ripples faint
There Is no shadow on 1t and no light;
Her cheeks are pale, like lilies in eclipse;
Hardly a little redness on her lips
Paints the sad smile where all the rest is
white.
Tall is she and bent forward like reed
Which the wind toys with as she walks with
speed;
Girllike her limbs and virginia. her waist;
OF the world wonders there is none so sweet
AS is the summer lightning Of her feet,
Speeding her onward like fawn in haste.
What is her secret2 All the world has tried
To guess it. One knew in guessing died
And was no wiser for his mortal pain.
Each has turned sadder from the thankless
quest
And gone back silent, even If he guessed,
Knowing all answer would be counted vain.
1 knew her once. know her not today.
Our eyes meet sometimes, but hers turn away
Quicker from mine than from the rest that
look.
Her pale cheek quivers. flush comes and
| goes,
| As in the presence of a soul that knows,
And her hands tighten on her missal book.
| Men have done evil, yet have won to heaven;
| Lived in blood outlines, yet died forgiven.
May not, l too, one day win my grace2

| Outweighs all grace. dare not enter in

Music Che Kernel Of welsh Nature

Music is the very soul and kernel Of
the Welsh nature. A musical ear is the
national birthright. Every Welsh preach
er who migrates to an English church
finds the greatest difficulty in abstaining
from that weird, peculiar intonation of
his sermon which is known as the hwyl,
and which is often strange and objection-
able to English ears.
A remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and at the same time significant Of the
sensitiveness of the Welsh musical ear
is that it is positive discord to many
among the Welsh congregations if the
minister, in "giving out" the first verse
of the hymn, does not so pitch his voice
that it shall be in harmony with the key
in which the tune has preliminarily beer
played by the instrumentalist.-

THE ORIGIN OF ANTHRACITE.
A Possible Solution of One of the Mysteries
of Science.

A Possible Solution of One of the Mysteries
of Science.
The main difference between anthra-
cite and bituminous coal is that the for
mer is devoid of volatile matter. Here
tofore the theory generally accepted to
account for this difference was that pre-
sented half a century ago by Professor
Rodgers while conducting the first geo.
hgical survey of Pennsylvania. Observ-
ing that the anthracite beds lay in the
eastern part of the state in close proxi1n-
ity to the Archean axis of elevation, he
surmised that these coal beds had, so
to speak, been cooked" upon the eleva-
ton Of the Appalachian chain--that is,
he supposed that the heat and pressure
accompanying the Appalachian eleva-
ton, acting most vigorously near the
axis, had distilled and removed the vola-
tile matter of the coal bed nearest it.
To adjust the theory of increasing
facts, Professor Lesley added the sup
position that the heat involved in this
theory was brought up by conduction
when the superintendent layers of rock
were extremely thick, which have since
been mainly removed by the erosive
| agencies which have been active over the
region for millions of years. The in
adequacy Of these theories has led Pro.
fessor ]. J. Stevenson of the University
of New York to PROFOUND another and
simpler theory, which was ably defended
by him at the recent meeting of the Geo
logical Society of America.
He would account for the lack of vola
tile matter in anthracite coal by the sim
pie fact that it had been longer exposed
to that kind of decay which takes placI
in vegetable matter when immersed il
water, and which consists chiefly in tn,
loss of the hydrocarbons which cOnsti
tute the volatile elements in bituminOu
coal. On this supposition the anthracite
beds are those which were formed ear
lest in the swamps and lagoOns of tn
carboniferous period and remained long
est devoid of the covering Of sedimentar.
deposits, which subsequently preserves
them from further change. This theor
is confirmed by the fact that there is n
such strict relation of the anthracit
beds to the Appalachian axis of eleva
ton as Professor Rodgers had suppose
and by many other considerations whic
Professor Stevenson is about to publish
This simple cause seems adequate to az
