LEARNING SADLY WASTED.

Experience of . Lingulst with . Man Who
Uttered Strange Cultural Sounds.
There is q genial linguist in an office
near the city hall says the New York Sun.
who is frequently called upon to act
as an interpreter. The other day a
friendly policeman enlisted his services
in behalf of q man he had found gestic-
ulating and uttering strange cultural
sounds in the park. The man was an
undersized, tawny-skinned foreigner,
and appeared to be in trouble.
The linguist beamed kindly upon the
poor man. while the policeman and the
other men in the Office looked at the
linguist with a due amount of respect
full appreciation of his learning. He
opened his batteries in French, but
there was no responding sign of intelli-
gence. Then German, italian and
Spanish were tried. These also failing,
the linguist was about to utilize some
recollections of Turkish and vclapuk,
when the unfortunate reached over,
drew a pencil, snatched a piece of paper
from a nearby desk and wrote as fol-
lows:
II am deaf and dumb. I want to
know how to reach the japanese
CONSUL"
After the linguist had been revived
he announced that he had gone out of
the interpreting business forever.

FUTURE COAL N

Discovery of q Buried Forest of France
That Is Fast Becoming Changed to Coal.
A singular fact is recorded-namely,
that on the shores of Brittany, between
st. Malo and St. Lunaire, in the vicini-
ty of St. Enogat station, at a place called
Port Blanc, the tides have lately dis
placed a considerable amount of sand,
say to the depth of some 9 to 13 feet.
Accompanying this remarkable phe-
no1nenon is the fact that forests known
to have been buried for periods covering
some Is or 20 centuries have now been
brought to light and a vast forest has,
it appears, been discovered in process
of Transformation into coal. Ferns
and the trunks and banks of trees are
to be seen in an advanced state Of de-
composition, showing, in fact, the films
and flakes which are found in coal,
and, while some of the trunks are Is
feet in length and still very distinct,
they are becoming rapidly transformed.
