have doubtless found a difficulty in OBJ
tanning photograph Of some object in

This difficulty can often be overcome
by placing q large mirror in front of

How Coal Was First Named.
Curiously, the word coal was in use
long before as well as long after the
commencement Of the coal trade, with
meaning quite different from that
which it now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
In particular to wood which had been
charred. or what Is now called char
coal.
When the trade In mineral coal be.
gan. this was usually distinguished by
the singular name Of sea coal. 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea-
shore, more especially Of Northumber-
land. along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance was supposed to be
Of marine origin. From this circum-
stance and its resemblance to wood
coal In color and burning properties It
obtained the name Of sea coal, by
which 1t was SO long and so widely
known. Then In the course Of time,
as the new fuel gained upon and su.
perseded the old. the simple name Of
coal became universally transferred
to 1t.
