How Mississippi Got Her Hills.

Is Mississippi a plain or a plateau, sWampy, undulating, hilly, rugged or what? How many people know? Pre- else determinations of altitude made
 by the government show that it's av- craze height above sea is several hun
 dred feet, or relatively high for state
 bordering the Atlantic or Gulf coast, and it's valleys are surprisingly deep.
 But the most striking features of the surface of the state are the gullies little valleys carved in bright colored
 sands and clays with sides so steep and upper ends so abrupt that they
 prevent you from going across country
 anywhere you like even afoot, and all
 though actually only 50 to geo or 300
 feet deep, they seem to be good sized canyons. If you enter one of the can
 yons at the lower end or find a place where you can climb down a gully wall, you are hidden from the world and may soon get delightfully."- lost. You striped horizontally with red, brown and cream, new choice Of routes con- tinually presenting itself in the intri- cate ramifications-the whole like a labyrinth; but just as a tributary stream joins it's main only at the
 lower end, there is, as a rule. only one place where any single gully or pas
 sage is connected with another.
 Even in the southern end of the state
 hills reaching over 800 feet above sea level, or 200 or 300 feet above their
 bases, and some of the uplands are siashed in every direction by innu-
 merable gullies, laying bare the sub strata of vari-colored irregular layers of sand. clay and in places gravel.
 Nevertheless there is an immense area of arabic and fertile land in Mississippi. The soil is so light that with the considerable slope of the hill sides care must be taken to prevent washing and the growth of gulies, which, though disastrous to farming where neglect allows them 8 start make charming scenery and afford the geologist a fine opportunity to deci- pher the complex and an many ways peculiar history Of the state.

Camel Coal,

Camel coal has long been a will-o'- the-wisp to coal men. and to many of them it's mere mention brings up visions of wealth. The reason becomes obvious when it's price on the market is compared with that of ordinary bituminous coal, for in days past can- nel coal has sold in the New York market at a price about three times that of the best bitu1ninous coal and perhaps double the price of anthracite. This high price is due to old causes strong demand and weak supply.
 As a coal for use in office and house hold grates, as an enricher of coal gas and as a firing coal for use in fire engines and otherwise, camel coal has filled a unique place; and these uses coupled with it's scarcity in the earth have made it an object of much search and of many disappointments, because wherever it is found there has usually proved to be very little of it
 Of late years, however, fewer grates are used in the office and the home, and water gas. enriched with oil, has replaced the old type of coal gas, so that when the European war broke out the demand for camel coal as such had largely disappeared. Then some people remembered that many years ago, before oil was struck in the coun- try, houses were lighted with oil ob- tained from camel coal. They re- membered that on distillation camel coal yielded more oil and gas than could be obtained from ordinary bi- 1 luminous coal They realized that the sudden demand for high explosives for use in the war required the utilization 1 of the by-products formed in the dis 1 tillation of coal, and they argued that l if camel coal when distilled yielded more oil and gas than other coals it l should be very rich in the y-products l from which benzene, toluol and other explosive bases are made, so a demand was made for information about can- nel coal. To supply this information 1 the government, through the geelogi- cal survey, department of the interior has just issued a report on the camel coals of the United States, describing camel coal in detail and telling where
 it can be found. This report refers tc
 every place where camel coal has been found or where it is said to occur. Ii 1 contains references to nearly H5(
 such places in one state alone-Ken | lucky.
 The fact that camel coal does yield
 large quantities of oil and gas is con firmed, but it is found that this oil | though suitable for ordinary burning distills at a temperature so low thai the percentage Of gasoline, benzene
