The rormation of conl.

Many different theories are held by
biologists to account for the formation
of beds OF coal between strata of rock
The simplest OF them is that vast
masses of wood. such as grew in the
carboIiferous age of the carth's de-
yelopment. We're sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
TO rock and that by some upheaval Of
the earth the bottom of the sea was
lifted above sea level. Such upheaval
occurred in remote geologic ages in the
Mississippi valley, all the central parts
of which We're undoubtedly at one
time covered with water and formed
an arm Of the sea. The one thing GER
tain about coal is that by one process
of nature or another it has been con-
verified from the giant trees which grew
In the carbonifcrous age of geology.
How many thousands or millions of
years that WAS nobody knows. All
that is known about the duration of
different geologic ages of the world is
that they were long.

Linen Makes Rice paner.

The rice plant contributes nothing to.
ward the manufacture of rice cigarette
papers but the name. Rice paper as
bought by the cigarette merchants of
Egypt and Turkey is made from only
perfectly new trimmings of linen and
mostly comes from English and French
mills in Constantinople, Fumen and
France. The celebrated Chinese rice
paper Is made from thin slices of the
pith from the canes of Il tree about five
feet high. a sharp knife parcs the
pith into cylinders of uniform thick
ness. which are than unrolled and
pressed out into so called rice paper.
BY the way, Egyptian cigarettes con-
tain no Egyptian tobacco. for since
1890 the cultivation Of the tobacco
plant has been prohibited. 1t is for
workmanship and the curing of the
leaf that the Cairenes are so justly
celebrated, but the tobacco they i'm
port comes entirely from Turkey.
