are large deposits of coal upon our
earth, enough to supply our wants

nevertheless the unequal distribution
of the same leaves large parts of many
continents destitute of this valuable
producer of energy. All varieties of

contain the two elements of energy
carbon and hydrogen.
Now coal is absent chiefly from
tropical or semi-tropical countries, in
any of which corn can be grown, and
from two to four crops year are OBJ

of about ten parts Of hydrogen, 62

According to the Graphic number
of curious experiments have been
made in the London Geological gar

music on animals. The Graphic's ac-
count is as follows:
The tones of the violin and the flute
produced the most wonderful effects.
The piccolo affected the foxes so
acutely that the experiment was abb
ruptly interrupted by one OF the keep
ers, who stated that its continuance
would inevitably result in nervous
attack. calculated to injure the health
of the animals.
We have long been acquainted with
the serpent charmers of the east and
their wonderful performances, but it
has now been amply demonstrated
that music influences all ANIMALS, ex-

low notes especially pleased the deni-

showed universal disgust. Discords

tees her scales or sings high notes
