 FORM NATURAL BRICK

Many coal beds in the great coal
 fields of tle western states have at some time taken fire and burned among their outcrors. baking and reddening the overlying strata so that they have become a kind of natural brick or ter "a cotta The fires were in places hot enough to fuse and recrystallize the overlying shale and sandstone so as to form natural slag. At some places this slag resembles true igneous rock; at others it consists largely of rare min
 erals. Thoroughly-fused slag seems to occur chiefly in crevices or chimneys through which the hot gasses generated in the burning escaped through the

BANQUET AND DANCE
 FUR CO. ] THIS WEEK

MESA, March 25.-Captain Edwin LeBaron has received word over the phone from Capt Noble of Comnany D of Mesa that the guardsmen will be home op Wednesday of this week It was first announced that the return would be about April 1, and this change of date will require a speeding up on the part of the committee recently ap- pointed by the commercial club to ar range for entertainment of the soldier lads when they reach home. However, this committee, which consists of Mayor BeVille as chairman Edwin Le Baron, Dr. J. B. Nelson and Frank Gurley are already well forward with their plans.
 It is intended tO give the boys 8 banquet and dance Inasmuch as the time is too short to prepare a public banquet, it has been decided to take them to the American Kitchen and have with them the city council. the directors of the club and the entertain- ment committee. Plates for this spread which is to be something out of rne ordinary will be $1 eacn, with no charge for the members of the com pany. Then there will be a dance with tickets at one dollar, all the company being admitted free. The committee will canvass the city pretty thoroughly getting these tickets sold to every one who can be persuaded to buy. There will be considerable expense connected
 with the affair and it is believed that every man who is approached will be glad to have part in showing appre- ] citation of the sacrifice made by the guardsmen during this past year The
 exact date of the dance will be an- nounced as soon as possible

overlying strata to the surface. The chimney shaped masses of slag are harder than the surrounding baked rock and, after that has weatheerd away, form the curious pinnacles that surmount many clinker bluffs or buttes in the west.
 Some of the coal beds, especially those exposed on the higher hills, were perhaps ignited by lightning, others, according to well i-authenticated re- ports, were ignited by prairie fires or camp fires; but as burning on the out crop has been so common as to affect most of the coal beds in an area of more than 100000 square miles, much of it has probably been due to spon taneouS combustion.
 Coal beds are now burning at or near the surface at many places in the west, where the burning of the bed is dis closed by the snake and fumes that rise from it and by the heat at the sur face of the earth near the outcrop or above the bed-heat so intense that it kills all vegetation. As the coal burns out the overlying rock or earth gen. orally caves in so as to form large fis- sures in the ground. As the burning works back from the outcrop, the heat acts on the overlying rocks but finally cOmDuSllOu IS S1nOtnereu TOT the laCk of oxygen. It is difficult to say how far back from the outcrop the burn ing may extend. Field studies made by the United States geological suT- vey, department of the interior, indi- cate that a bed lying beneath 20 feet or less of cover may burn out com pletely under large areas and even where the cover is several hundred feet thick the burning may extend 800 feet back from the outcrop.
 A brief account by G. s. Rogers of the burning of coal beds in place, with a discussion of the causes and a petro- logic and chemical description of some of the baked and fused rock formed has been published by the United States geological survey as Profession al Paper 10S-A. A copy of this re- port may be obtained free on applica- tion to the director of survey
