THE GIANTS CAuSEWAY.
Formation and Appearance of This
Odd Freak of Nature.

FORMATION and Appearance of This
ODD Freak of Nature.
The Giants causeway Is situated Mt
the northern extremity of County An
trim, short distance from Port Rush,
Ireland. 1t consists OF countless hosts
Of basaltic pillars, varying in shape
from pentagon to an octagon, the av-
erage length of each column or pillar
being about eighty feet, the whole
stacked so closely together that knife
blade could hardly be inserted between
them. But the formation of these pill
lars Is not the least wonderful part
about them, for, although they may be
counted by thousands and tens of
thousands, each column Is fashioned
with symmetry that suggests q ma
sons handiwork. Their composition is
u perfect fusion of one-half flinty earth,
one quarter lime and clay, one quarter
almost pure iron, each pillar being di-
vided into regular lengths or joints
which come together as perfect, nat
ural bah and socket union.
Although to be found In small de-
tachments Embedded In the cliffs,
sands, etc.) for some distance along the
shore, the principal aggregatlons form
ing the causeway proper consist of
three projections or tongues known as
little. middle and grand causeways.
These singular columns are of different
lengths and present an astonishing APP
pearance AS they stand, an army of at
least 10000 strong marshaled ON the
shores of Erin as II ever ready to do
battle with the rising tide.

Euuluna,s early Coal Trade.

Though the records OIL the incipient
coal trade are scanty, they show that
traffic in coal first sprang up be-
tween London and the Neweastle-on'
Tyne coalfields. A lane in suburb of
the metropolis where the burning of
lime appears to have been carried on
was already known as "Sea Goals
lane" In 1923. A particular notice also
occurs of the arrival OF shiploads of
sea coal In London in 1857, and small
purchases of il We're made for forging
iron ut Westminster palace In 125S-59.
1t was usually sold by the quarter. At
Billlngsgate, in the time of Henry III,
every two quarters of sea coal paid
duty of farthlng.
Sea coal was likewise bought ut
Berwick onTweed In 1868, so that by
the middle Of the thirteenth century n
small trade In coal was evidently being
carried on along large stretch of the
eastern seaboard. The growth of tha
trade Is reflected in the increasing rev.
enue OF Newcastlc-on-Tyne. which,
from being f100 a year IN 1918, had
risen to 1900 In 1881 owing to the coal
trade of the port.
From smiths and lime burners the
use of coal extended to artisans who
used furnaces In their trades. In Not.
tIngham, situated on the confines of
great coal0eld, this movement appears
to have commenced very early. Queen
Eleanor was unable to stay there In
1857 on account Of the smoke of the
sea coal

A Methodical Being.

A man of method, who attended TO
everything on schedule time, whether
1t was work or recreation had the for
tune to fall In love when he had passed
the age OF forty. The mistress OF his
heart put up with his oddities. He had
regular nights for calling upon her.
regular hours for coming and going,
regular theater and club nights, etc.
In fact she looked upon his regularity
as something admirable.
Things had been going on In this
way for two years, and finally the
great crisis came. They were to be
married The day was fixed. the wed
ding clothes were made, the guests in
vited and the minister was engaged.
At the appointed time they were all
assembled. The bride was dressed.
the wedding presents were displayed.
but the bridegroom came not. The
bride wept and tainted, but 1t did no
good. Finally some friends Of the de-
linquent groom hurried away to see If
he could be found. He could. He
was at home In his room, reading Us
unconcernedly as II he had never con
templated getting married.
What Is the matter? Why don't
you come to your weddingY' shouted
his friends.
The man OF regular habits laid down
his books.
Il am very sorry" he said, but this
is my regular day for staying at home

"lts mistake 10 suppose that Joss

the word was corruption of the

'Dios' was speedily corrupted into
Joss by native tongues and applied TO
