Bacteria in Coal.

Mr.. c. Potter has recently shown
before the Royal society in London
that in certain conditions of exposure
to the air charcoal, coal, peat and 9th
er amorphous forms of carbon under
go q slow process of oxidation pro-
duced by bacteria. 1t is suggested that
this fact may account for the deteri-
Grafton of stored coal, it's gradual loss
of weight, and its occasional sponta-
ecu heating in ships bunkers. III the
bacteria are no the sole cause OF these
things they may induce them, chemical
oxidation accompanying and continu-
ing that begun by the organic agents.
The carboniZation of vegetable Goals.
says a French writer, is due to the in
tervention of microbes at the begin
ming of their f~ossilization. When the
coal reaches the air again, other bac-
terra take up the work of fermentation
that was interrupted millions of years
ago.-Youth's Companion.
