The sun to leaves, the leaves to peat, the peat
To coal, the coal to flaming air again.
And so returns to other suns.
Apart from the vexed question of
the division of the profits, there is no
gainsaying that coal has played the
good fairy in mans elevation by re-
leasing him from the heavy bondage
of excessive toll, through the medium
of scientific mechanism. Yet thou
sands of years of civilization passed
before single nation had found out
even so much as that coal would burn
into a flame and warm a man, and it
IS little more than century since it
was first used to convert water into
steam and set machinery in motion
which would ease mems backs.
TheOphraatus, a friend of Aristotle
the Greek scientist (B. c. 334), was
the earliest lay writer who mentioned
its combustibility. This was in a
New-York tribune., 1906-07-29

massage wherein he said that "the Goals they use
are earthly but kindle and burn like wooden Goals {;
and the first record we put our fingers on with
out doubt, and say here IS evidence OF the buying
and selling of coal for domestic use, IS receipt
given by the Abbot of Peterborough, in England,
IN the year $50, Tor twelve cartOadS OF mlneraI
coal" This is just about the time the Danes made
a bonfire of the whole of that noble abbey
| differentiate this transaction as evidence OF
mineral coal being burned from thousands of earlier
references to COAL because wood, and not coal, was
always meant. Such use of the word is common,
all through the Scriptures for instance; and how
perSistently the custom fingers in the language
of using the word coal where wood emberS is meant
One of the Enemas of Science
TT can never be said that there has ever been
favored nation in the matter of coal; for of all
natures distributed materials coal is novel in the
wide spread of its deposits. Indeed its presence
IN some places where we know 1t is, IS one OF the
enigmaS which are the despair of the scientists to
solve. For instance. know that the formation
of coal required illmtable sunshine, huge tropical
forests of luxurious ferns, and of gum and resin
bearing trees, in the same locality and under the
same conditions for ages and ages; that their
prOstrate bodies and shielded leaves might cOaguate
and form the compost out of which coal would,
under pressure, be made. Vet, recently Jackson in
his Arctic expedition found splendid bed of coal
nine hundred feet above the frozen ocean, in
cliff in Franz JOsePh-Land under pail of everlasting
ice and snow, within three hundred miles of the
North Pole. Other beds are known to exist under
the eternal ice-caP OF Greenland. and in Labrador,
Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, all bordering on
the Arctic Circle. OF course 1t is not surprising to
find coal nearer the Tropics
But the fact is it is universal. The great plain of
China is capped by plateau of thirty thousand
square miles of coal measures, in which seams
thirty feet thick perfectly horizontal for two
hundred miles. We have sixty thousand square
miles of Appalachian coal in North America alone
1t exists in South America as far south as the
remOtest point of the Straits of Magellan. Great
Britain, the mother of coal mining and Belgium
France, and Germany have abundant supplies.
Australia, except in short intervals is literally
scanned with coal from the Gulf of Carpenteria to
Bass Strait. Practically the whole island of
BOrneo is covered with twenty-seven feet of coal
in five seams. There is coal in India too, and in

n ECENTLY came across grim curo of a time
* not long ago when the quick-witted sidewalk
- peddler of novelties turned nimble dime by
mounting small fragments of anthracite coal on
breast-pins and selling them as personal adOrn-

Massachusetts was a small piece of anthracite which
my father had brought from Pennsylvania as a
