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
earbonlferous age of the eaith's de.
velopment, were sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
to rock and that by sqpe upheaval of
the earth the bottom or the sea was
lifted above sea level Such upheayal
occurred In remote geologic ages In the
Mississippi valley, all the central part
Of which were 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 II has been con.
verted from the giant trees which grew
in the carboniferous age Of geology.

years that was nobody knows. All
