Made Early Use Of Coal.

Though wood and turf formed the
fuel of u early ancestors, investiga-

made use of coal. But as it was pos

Holly Used as SYMBOL,

1t was usual at Roman weddings to
present the bride with a wreath OF
holly, significant of the warmest con-
gratulations. In India and Persia the
followers of Zoroaster, the founder OF
fire worship, soak pieces of holly bark
in water and throw the infusion IN
the faces of newly born babies, be-
lieving this will insure them prosper
ity and safety in this world.
