tiners of the soil will at certain sea-

Upper Canada; SO also, according to
Livingstone, in the Barotse valley;
the cause in all cases being assigned
to the extensive burning, often at
great distance, of grass or forest tim

looked for in the case of the burning
of coal on an equally gigantic scale
in London, with the one difference
that the effect must be incomparably
more pernicious.-London Mail.
