ORIGIN OF ANTHRACITE COAL.
A Theory offered as Solution of Mys
terry of Science.

A Theory offered as Solution of Mys-
terry of Science.
The main difference between anthra-
cite and bituminous coal is that the
former is devoid of volatile matter.
Heretofore the theory generally ac-
cepted to account for this difference
was that presented half century ago
by Prof Rogers while conducting the
first geological survey of Pennsylvania.
Observing that the anthracite beds lay
in the eastern part of the state, in close
proximity to the Archean axis of ele-
walton, he surlnised that these coal beds
had, so to speak, been cooked" upon
the elevation of the Appalachian chain;
that is, he supposed that the heat and
pressure accompanying the Appala-
chain elevation, acting most vigorous
ly near the axis, had distilled and re-
moved the volatile matter of the coal
bed nearest it.
To adjust the theory to increasing
facts Prof. Lesley added the suppose
ton 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 ero-
sive agencies which have been active
over the region for millions of
years. The inadequacy of these
theories has led Prof. j. J. Stevenson
of the university of New York to pro-
pound another and simpler theory,
which was ably defended by him at the
recent meeting of the Geological
Society of America He would account
for the lack of volatile matter in
anthracite coal by the simple fact that
it had been longer exposed to that kind
OF decay which takes place in vegetable
matter when immersed in water, and
which consists chiefly in the loss of the
hydrocarbons which constitute the vol
atile elements in bituminous coal
| On this supposition the anthracite
beds are those which were formed
earliest in the swamps and lagoens of
the carboniferous period, and remains
longest devoid of the covering of sedi-
mentary deposits, which subsequently
preserved them from further change.
This theory is confirmed by the fact
that there is no such strict relation of
the anthracite beds to the Appalachian
axis of elevation as Prof. Rodgers had
supposed, and SO many other considera.
tons which Prof Stevenson is about
to publish. The simple cause seems
adequate to account for all the phe-
nomena, and probably solves one of the
long-standing mysteries of geological
science. IN. Y. Independent.

Railway has made an arrangement with a
frst-clss publishing house to furnish a
series of beautiful World Fair pictures, CT
a large size, at the nominal cost to the pur-
chaser of only ten cents for portfolio of
sixteen illustrations. Nothing so handsome
in reference to the Worlds Fair has before
been published. The series would be worth
at least twelve dollars if the pictures were
not published in such large quantities, and
we are therefore able to furnish these works

Teaching Photography in School
The bureau OF education at Washing
ton has done good piece of work in
the monograph which has just been
sent out from the government printing
office on Shorthand Instruction and
Practice" by Mr. Julius Ensign Rock
well. In 1884 he published circular
of information on the teaching, prac-
tlce and literature of shorthand. Twen-
ty thousand copies were distributed
and another edition of equal size has
been exhausted. The present work fur
nishes not only an account of short
hand in foreign countries and in the
United States, but nearly the full sta
tistics of instruction from 1889 up to
the summer of 1891 in this country,
with an account of the extent to which
stenographers have been EN- ployed in
courts, in legal decisions and in other
public services. There are thousands
of shorthand societies in Germany,
France and England and in this coun-
try, whose work is to disseminate a
| knowledge of the art, and the intro
duction of shorthand into the pub
lie schools is to be one OF the next
steps in secondary education. The
| typewriter is next to shorthand as
labor-saving instrument and the short
hand systems and the principal type
| writing machines have already
wrought revolution not only in the
courts but in business offices, in the
writing done for newspapers and in
every department of life where writing
is indispensable. Until speed can be
reached on the typewriter equal to
that which can be obtained by expert
stenographers, stenography will take
the lead as system by which the
spoken word can be taken down ex-
actly as it is uttered and made to serve
the purpose for which it is designed.
1t is such an aid in all sorts of bust
ness transactions that we could no
more go back to the old habits than we
could go back to the stage coaches
which fifty years ago conveyed our
grandfathers across the country. In
this country the number of persons re-
ceiving instruction in shorthand from
July 1, 1889, to June 80, 1890,
was 5z975, and of this num-
Der 23,425 were males and 26,0O5
females. All these were taught in
schools and classes and out of the
whole number 1928 were instructed by
mail. In 300 schools and classes in
which shorthand was introduced dur
ing the scholastic year ending June 80
1891, the number of persons taught
orally was 4, $50, which, with those in
structed by mail, made grand total Of
Abs. OF those taught orally 2,474
were males and 1858 were females
This is as near correct statement o.
statistics as Mr.. Rockwell has beer
able to arrive at, and it shows the vast
extent and use of shorthand instruc
ton in this country in all the depart
ments of life. Stenography has come
to stay, and type-writing has come t.
stay with it, and the two, combined
with the telegraph and telephone
have been greatly instrumental in &C
celebrating the progress of ideas ant
facilitating the methods of business
and the production of literature. =
