WONDERS OF COAL:
sBuried Sunshine" Has Become Q
Playthins Of Science.

Has IL ever occurred 10 you that the
vanilla with which many a fayorite
dish OF yours Is favored is made from
coal? VIII you believe that most OF
Che dyes which have stained the fab
rics OF your clothes, that the naphtha
and benzine which your tailor uses In
removing stains and that even the
sweetest perfumes are all Of them de-
rivatives Of coal.
1t was once said by a scientist, clev-
erer and more imaginative than most
of his kind, that coal is buried sun
shine" Something OF the enormous
extent OF ancient coal forming jungles
may be conceived when IL Is said that
our present forests would produce only
two or three inches of coal If they,
too, were subjected TO a carbonizing
process.
The magicians who have wrought
wonders with coal are the gasmaker
and the chemist. II coal is burned In
the open air, heat Is produced and
nothing left but little ash. Burn IL
In a closed vessel, however, and the
marvellous change occurs. In the first
place, coal gas is produced and, chem
ically treated. is supplied TO every city
home. Furthermore, ammonia is OBJ
tained, important in modern agricul-
ture because by its means plants can
be artificially supplied with the nitro
gen they need. Then, again, asphalt
is produced, much used In roadmaking,
although the retort Is not the chief
source of its supply. Lastly, a black,
noisome ooze is collected which goes
by the name OF coal tar" 1t Is this
which at the touch OF the modern
chemists wand Is transformed into the
most widely different substances i'm
aginable.

THE HAT HABIT.

A Custom, That 10 Neither Becoming
Nor Health Giving.
Why do both men and women persist
In wearing hats? asks Pearson's Maga-
zine. There are three reasons why we
should wear clothes We may wear
them for the sake Of decency, for the
sake Of warmth and for the sake Of dis
play. None OF these reasons applies
to the wearing Of hats. or course
there are head coverings that are
warm, such as the Icelander's sealskin
hood and the fisherman's toque; but as
a rule, there is no real warmth In the
hat Of either sex. When a woman pins
a slight structure Of straw and artificial
flowers on the top Of her hair she new
or for an instant imagines that the
thing will keep her from taking cold.
The masculine top hat is certainly
warm on a hot day, but It is very far
from warm In cold weather.
Neither are hats worn for the pur-
pose Of display. Doubtless there are
occasion of displaying their fondness
for dead birds, muslin flowers and 9th
er beautiful objects, but this is only
when fashion has decreed that big hats
shall be worn. At other times the fe-
male hat Is so microscopically small
that II could not be successfully used
for displaying anything. As for mems
hats, they never display anything ex-
cept the atrocious taste which makes
them fashionable. Why, then, In the
name OF all that Is sensible, do men
and women wear hats?
AS rule, every man and every wo-
man looks better without a hat than
with one. This is why we all take OF
our hats at the opera or at an evening
party, and yet we cling to a custom
that has not n word 10 be said In It's be
half. We persist in wearing the ugly,
useless and injurious hat. Why do we
do II? I should like to find good Irish
echo that would answer the question
at length and In a satisfactory way.
