The Formation of Coal.
From Mines and Minerals.

From Mines and Minerals
The general results Of the present in
Quiry into the transformation of vege-
table matter into coal may be summarized
as follows:
1. The change from peat to Ignite. lig
mite to bituminous coal, and bituminous
coal to anthracite is process of frac-
tioEal distillation due to heat.
.. The heat may be applied locally and
with great intensity as In a case of vol
canic action, or it may be irperceptibie
but applied throughout n lorg period of
time.
3. In the latter case the Gction is slow
and of such low intensity that it is con-
troiIed largely by conditions which ac-
celerate or retard tie process.
4. The principal condition controlling
dstillation of this character is the po-
rostty or impermeability Of the rocks
W hich permits or retards the escape of
the gases that are formed in the process.
:. Eorosity may be due. either to coarse
ness of grain or to assures. Where great
masses are involved the former has little
or no effect. as the rocks are practically
imperyious, therefore the latter is the
great controlling condition of coal meta
riorphism. Fissures are produced by
toints and by cleavage, and where these
are found the coal is in high degree Of
carbonization. where they are absent 1t
tx changed only slightly from the original
peaty condition.

Sense of Color in Animals.

From the Scientific American
The hypothesis that the sense OF colors
is possessed to a high degree by animals,
ard especially by birds. furnished basis
for some Of the most beautiful and fecund
of the Darwinian theories OF sexual selec-
ton. No Darwinist doubts that the bril-
liant colors of male birds of some species
are destined 10 attract the attention Of the
female birds and this presupposes natural
ly on the part of these birds a fine sense
of color Wallace has asserted that to the
fact that certain plants bear fruit Of bril-
liant colors is due their preservation; the
animals, attracted by these colors break
the fruits from the trees or plants, carry
them off, and thus indirectly assist in the
dissemination of the seeds which they con-
tain over large tracts of land. And this
function Of selection on the part Of animals
presupposes in them a certain sense of
color. Still, scientific documents In sup
port of these hypothesis are rare. Dahl.
alluding to the scarcity of them in an
article in recent number OF the Naturwis-
senschaftliche Wockenschift, relates some
interesting experiments which he made
with a monkey. He colored some sweets
with a certain colored dye, and some Bit
ter substances with that of another color,
and declares that after a few attempts
the monkey learned to leave without even
tasting those articles of food colored with
the dye which indicated bitter-tasting sub
stances and seized at once upon those
which Indicated sweets Varying the ex-
periments sufficiently he found that the
monkey distinguished all the different col
ors readily. save only dark blue Dahl
calls attention to the fact that Mayer has
stated that many savage tribes cannot dis
tinguish dark blue from black. and that
even children do not distinguish this color
until later than all others.

WEARING OUT THE NATIVES.
East Indians Working Long Hours In
the Cotton Factories

remarkable as 1t may sound. 1t Is said
that the introduction OF electric lighting In
India Is responsible for marked deteriora-
ton in the physique of the people This
statement Is made in report of Consul
Fee of Bombay on the cotton industry in
India This report indicates that the united
kingdom is having troubles of her own in
cotton, and that India is not the least fac
tor in the problem. The cotton industry
In India has grown amazingly and the coun-
try not only supplies the larger portion of
her homt demand for cotton cloth. but ex-
ports largely as well. She has taken a
large part of Engiand's oriental trade in
China and threatens, if she can produce
some of the longer staple cottons to cut
on the most of Englands exports east of
Suez.
But the report shows depiorable condi-
tons in the Indian cotton factories The
hands are almost all OF them, from the
foremen down, paid by piece work. The re-
suit Is that the effort is to turn out as large
a quantity of goods possible. almost re-
gardiess of the quality. The mills are very
profitable, some of the dividends running up
to 40 per cent. But though some of the
mills are sanitary in fittings and up to date
In machinery there Is no law limiting the
labor OF operatives over fourteen hours and
the result is that they all run from sunrise
to sunset, with a scant half hour in the
middle of the day. The average Is twelve
working hours, some of the mills running
thirteen hours day. The government some
years ago compelled them to close four days
in the month. and this was a great boon to
the oyerworked and underpafd operatives.
Now that electric light plants are being
put in. this advantage is largely nulified.
and most of the plants where there is arti-
fetal light run UP to pm. The result is
that the natives are being worn out.
Speaking of the condition of the opera
tiyes, Mr.. Fee says:
Among the mills visited / recently IN
spected the Rachel Sassoon' weaving mill
on Chinchpoogiy road. Bombay. This is one
Of a number owned by the descendants of
the famous Sassoon. who years ago emil
grated from Bagdad and settled in Bombay.
This mill has been lately built and is said
to be quite up to date in equipment OF ma
chfnery, ventilation, light and sanitary con-
ditions. 1t has 1000 looms and weaves piece
goods for the Indian and China market.
The mill is now running thirteen hours
day. only in daylight found. however.
that they were installing an electric light
ing plant, so that they would run in the
future fifteen hours a day. All labor in this
mill. as is the custom in India. is paid by
the piece. An average weaver working
thirteen hours per day for twenty-six days
in the month would earn on the average
about % rupees or about IS. 40.

prepared a complaint charging
half dozen railroads with carrying
wheat ten cents cheaper to the
California mills than they will carry
Kansas -four to the coast. This
whine of the little grafters against
the big grafters is amusing. The
railroads are simply following a
business principle of encouraging
wheat shipments to the coast in pref
erence to -four, because the wheat
trade is bigger. The little grafters
want to stop them from doing what
is best for themselves. In thel,end
they will kill each other off like
Kilkenny cats and the people will
own the railroads.

Roosevelt said to the Gompers
lobby the other day, the bonds that
unite all good American citizens are
stronger by far than the difference
which | think you accentuate alto
gether too much between the men
who do one kind of labor and men
who do another" Roosevelt would
have us believe that all men are
laborers in this beastly parisitlic
civilization and have interests in
common. He would class rent
taking, profit gouging, interest
wracking as work, in the same sense
that weaving cloth, running an en-
gine or raising wheat is work. The
man who makes a profit out of the
use of your body as a producer has
the same benevolent interest in your
family that you yourself have, and
he who lowers your wages or raises
the price of the things you buy is
as much interested in seeing that
your children are educated as you
are.
