CHAPTER II.
How Nature Manufactured Coal
for Us.
What became of the trees and
plants buried so many thousands
of years ago? AS each layer of
vegetation was covered with clay
and sand it underwent strange
changes. Some of the consti-
tuents of the vegetation was OK
idised or burnt away, leaving in
the end nothing but carbon or
mostly carbon, which could not
escape through the cover of sand,
which had become sandstone and
clay. 1t remained and became
, coal.
At first it strongly resembled
what we jnow cali peat, incipient
coal. Then it was of a brownish
color, like our Ignite, which is
called brown coal' in some 10
calities. By that time the per
centage of carbon had increased
from the original 50 per cent to
81 per cent. Through the count
less centuries this mtater was
acted upon by various elements,
while being pressed more and
more solid by the increasing lay
ers on top.
AS the amount of gaseous con-
stituents became less and less the
percentage of carbon increased
and occupied larger proportion
of the whole. The carbon was
originally taken from the air by
the. trees and plants during the

earth. ne masses OF vegetation,
must have been very thick, for
a single seasons falling of leaves
would not make layer OF, coal as
thick as a razor's edge. In some
localities seams of coal, or what
was once layers of vegetation,
are now seven to eight feet thick.
In some places these seams lay
one over the other, with part
ings" of sand or clay, so narrow
as to give the impression that all
seams are one immensely thick
seam. These are called com
pound seams.
In South Wales the coal bear
ing strata have been estimated at
about 1900 feet in thickness,
but the whole of the various coal
seams, one above the other, does
not measure more than l20 feet.
In Pennsylvania there are COM
pound seams over 100 feet thick.
That must represent a tangle OF.
vegetation many thousand feet
thick when first it was buried.
1t was the presence of spores,
or seeds" of fowerless plants, of
the ancient elubmosses, that is re-
sponsible for the bitumihous- ma
ture of some of the coal. Those
spores were almost pure bitumen.
Bituninous, or soft coal, has
about SO per cent Of carbon; an
thracite, or hard coal, has 90 per
cent. Between the two there are
standings, including semi-bitu-
and semi-anthracite.
Of course it was one thing to-
manufacture the coal down, III
