It was such a tiny box which the

furniture store salesman. They are not
manufactured. 1t has been years Sine,
we carried them IN stock, and The
chances are that they will never be in
vogue again. Science is against them,
for one thing. Doctors and nurses have
agreed that AZ Il promoter of colds the

reasons trundle beds have been super
seeded by cribs and infants beds of II

something to DO with the change. Reg.

COAL IN THE NORTHWEST.

Professor Wilder Contributes an Arti-
Gle on the Coal Deposits in the
Northwestern States to the Ameri.
cam Monthly.
All of the western coal fields are
much younger than those in the east.
ern and central states. The great
earth-folds which erosion has cut into
the ragged peaks of the Rockies and
the coast range lifted up part of an
extensive res covered with Gre
taceous strata. till today they are high
east. the effect of the folding grew
less, and the cr%etaceous beds of North
Dakota were left undisturbed. Though
some coal is found lower in the geo.
logic series. most of the beds in the
Rockies and on the plains are confined
to the Laramie. a late stage of the Gre
taceOus. The coal on the Pacific
coast belongs to the eocene stage of
the following tertiary period. The eff
feet of the uplift on the quality of
the coal was noteworthy. Subjected
to tremendous pressure during the
process of mountaineering. and ex
posed here and there by deep gashes
cut in the mountain slopes by torrents,
opportunity was offered for the forma.
ton and escape of the gases which
form by a process of dry distilation in
buried wood when protected from at.
mospheric decay. and as a conse
quence. the percentage of fixed carbon
became higher than in the coal fields
OF the plains. Coal that is Ignite in
North Dakota passes into the semi
bituminous and often into true btu
minous coal in the mountains.
1t is known that coal-bearing strata
are present over 92,O30 square miles
