THE STORY OF A LUMP OF COAL
BY Old King Cole,

which is pulled along a track by a
donkey or pony To the main shaft, or
opening. through which the car 10
drawn upward TO the surface, and
emptied into waiting railroad coal
car, which is hauled TO cities far dis
tant, where IL is unloaded and
brought to your home by the coal
dealer.
In the anthracite coal mine region
many young boys are employed as
breaker boys. AS the coal comes
down the breaker these boys break
large Jumps and pick out the slate
and any other foreign substance, for
they would not burn. Both In the
hard and sole coal mines boys are en-
ployed to drive the donkeys or ponies
around at the bottom OF the
mine. In many of the deeper mines
the ponies and donkeys live their
entire lives at the bottom OF the
mine, for IL takes up too much time
TO haul them up every night and low
er them next morning. So they have
stables underground for them, and
there they stay from the time the
mine company buys them until they
die. never seeing the sun or rain, or
green grass.

CHAPTER M.
How Men First Learned 20 Use Coal
and How II 10 Mined.

CHAPTER M.
How Men First Learned TO Use Coal
and How II 10 Mined.
The Chinese, the Romans. and the
Brttous used coal to very limited
extent before the Christian era. II
was not until the thirteenth century
that coal whs seriously considered as
fuel anywhere In civilized countries.
In 1889 some "freemen" OF New Cas-
tie. England, were granted a charter
to dig Goals. Specimens were sent
to London. but the citizens OF that
town didn't take readily to its use,
because they thought coal burning in
jured the health OF the people.
1t took about 200 years to get
Londoners used TO burning coal
stone, as they called 1t. At first the
king fined users of coal, believing
that they were polluting the atmos-
phere OF Great Britain. Queen Eliza
beth wouldn't allow any coal TO be
burned while parliament was In ses-
sion. because she feared the "pollut-
ed atmosphere" might make the
country gentlemen" sick.
Soft coal was first mined In Amer
lea in Virginia in 1850, and ten years
later near Pittsburgh, Pa. The first
anthracite was found near Wilkes
barre in 1852, but being SO much
harder than the bituminous no one
could make II burn. II is related that
an anthracite miner hauled load
OF anthracite into Philadelphia and
sold II. But before he could get out
OF town his customers ran after him
and had him arrested for selling
black stones as coal. He had to give
back the money, for they convinced
the authorities that the black stones
would not burn.
One man put some OF the black
stones in furnace in his small fac
tory and spent the entire morning
trying to make II burn, and then get
ting disgusted with IL slammed the
door shut and went home to dinner.
When he got back he found the fur
mace red hot-and thus learned the
secret accidentally of what dfaught
will do with hard coal.
In some places coal strata crop out
at hillsides, and along mountains.
There II can be obtained by merely
picking 1t up. In other localities, but
a few feet OF earth must be gone
through before the coal seam is
reached. while in many places hun
dreds OF feet must be bored before
the miner reaches the seam Some
times he bores from one seam, after
exhausting the coal supply there, to
a lower seam. and on down
When the miner reaches a seam OF
coal down In the interior of the earth,
he blasts with powder, and picks at
the coal, sometimes having to lie on
his side, so narrow Is the seam.
Then he shovels the coal into a car,
