OF SAME ORIGIN AS COAL
Wood Believed to Be Basis of Jet, Sub.
stance Long Used for Various
Ornaments.

Jet Is a sort of Ignite or anthracite
often cut and polished, which has the
pecuIiarities in weight and texture Of
the hardest kind of anthracite. 1t has
been used in Britain since before his
toric times, and was common In the
bronze age, from which times have
come jet beads. buttons. rings. armlets
and other ornaments.
Julius Caesar alludes to the abund-
ance of jet in Britain, and jet Orna-
ments are found with Roman relics
in them. The monks used jet for ro-
sary beads at Whftby Abbey, and at
Whitney, where it was found in the
greatest abundance. II occurs in ir-
regular masses in hard Shale known as
Jet rock.
Often microscopic examination dis
closes cOniferOus wood in the cOmpo-
sition of jet. 1t is probable that Jet
was developed when masses of wood
drifted down a river, rotted or became
water logged and sank out at sea. be-
coming gradually buried in a deposit
Of fine mud which hardened eventually
into shale. Sometimes drops of BIZ
tumin are found in jet cavities, which
seems 10 confirm the suspicion Of its
wood origin.-DetrOit News
