worn stone, with its secret hidden at
the core.
Coal can be made to tell its secrets
just. as surely as can the sandstones
and shales found near it. 1t would be
useless to look at any casual piece of
coal to trace its vegetable origin, but
by cutting a thin piece and grinding
carefully between glass with emery
and water until 1t becomes so thin as
to be transparent, and then submitting
this to microscopical examination, we
discover something as to its structure.
So 1t occurs, by making sections

most invariably able to trace their
vegetable origin from the softer vege.
table and wood structures, until 1t be-
comes saturated and consolidated.
eventually losing its gaseous constitu-
ents, and becoming converted into car
bonized coal Of various states of purity
as it nears the stages of the more pure
forms of carbon.
Given, now, that coal is consolidated
and carbonized vegetable matter, we
have yet to find reason which shall
account for these vast beds of coal
being buried so deep beneath the sur
face of the earth. And more than this,
how is it that coal fields are found be-
meath coal fields, as in South Wales,
where no less than eighty distinct beds
of coal have been recognized? Some
times these beds are of great thick
ness, one Of the most noted instances
being the famous bed of South Staf-
fordshire, England, which was 30 feet
thick. We have glanced at the won
derful fossilized remains of the vege-
tation of the Carboniferous period and
seen how they indicate that the for
ests of those times developed dense
masses of vegetable growth, which, so
far as quantity is concerned, would
considerably surpass all forests of the
present day. For If the whole vege-
tation of existing woodlands could be
converted into coal, 1t would probably
not make coal field of more than two
or three inches deep. Yet the various
seams in some coal areas would make
a depth Of from 200 to 300 feet. From
this we can estimate that these great
forests of the coal period, which de-
veloped and stored these enormous ac-
cumulations Of carbon, were something
almost beyond our Imagination. For
at present we know of no source of
carbon other than that gathered
through the agency of the green por-
tions of plants and stored in their

To the many changes lately made at
Buckingham palace one other might
well, one thinks, be added. And that
Is change Of name. True the site
was once occupied by the house a
duke of Buckingham built therein in
1903. But that occupation does not
seem to impose the name Of subject
upon a residence bought by George
III, rebuilt by George Nv and, though
disliked by William ", at once adopt
ed by Queen Victoria as her London
residence, and now, the fixed head.

tive headquarters, of our kings to be.
No wonder that foreign visitors are
puzzled by the unexplained retention
Of former and long irrevelant appel
lation. They ask for the Palais ROYAL
and are met with a blank stare, a
shake Of the head, or a statement
which leaves proportion of them
under the supposition that his majesty
is the guest Of the duke Of Bucking-
ham.
Scarcely less appropriate would be
a cancelling at last of the name of
Marlborough house as applied to the
new hereditary residence of the heirs
apparent. Marlborough Is a great
name, it Is true; but it is a name that
the present owner has very natural
right to put up on the lintels of the
new house he is building in Curzon
street. No disrespect, then, is implied
toward the great duke of Marlborough
who built 1t in the first decade of the
eighteenth century, and gave Sarah.

There were trees in those days. Not

less complex structure. They were tall
some Of them over 200 feet, and cor
respondingly thick. They have left
descendants. but puny ones-horse-
tails, club mosses, ferns, are common
instances. The construction OF these
trees tells us that the earth was a
very damp place those days. There
was water everywhere. and In abund-
ance. Even the air was habitually
saturated with 1t. The sun was hot,
and the combination made things

UNIQUE Chance That Came to Maine
Lad Who Was Ont for Seils.
So far as Is known the first Instance
on record of deer being lacked by an
ocean-going tugboat happened on the
last day of open time this year on the
shore of Fort Point cove at the mouth
of the Penobscot River. The cove is
general exchange for shipping bound
up or out of the river. 1t Is here that
the ocean tugs drop their tows for the
river boats to take to Bangor and here
they come for the ice barges ready for
sea. The country in the vicinity of the
cove is sparsely settled and ON the
western side begins the vast range OF
forests which extend for miles across
Hancock and Washington counties.
Deer are plentiful farther back, but are
rarely seen near the shore.
1t was not for a deer that young Jud-
son Perkins loaded up his fathers old
musket with a handful of slugs and
went down to the shore after school.
1t was seal upon which Judson had

seals are plentiful in the cove and are

won his spurs when he has shot a seal,
for It's shyness is remarkable The crow

danger compared with bay seal. And
SO 1t happened that JudsOn was down
ON the shore with gun that afternoon.
After waiting and watching in vain for
his quarry, he started for home In the

He was only few steps from the
shore when a big tug shot in by the
point and played her searchlight upon
the feet of schOonefs and barges at
anchor there. Then the big ray search
ed along the shore until It caught Jud-
son full In the face. Turning about to
avoid the binding ray, he looked to-
ward the woods and saw sight which
rooted him to the spot for an instant.
There In the path of the big, white
ray, with head and antlels above a
small bush, stood the finest buck deer
seen in those parts for years.
The deer seemed fascinated, standing

nostrils, trembling, JudsOn quickly re-
