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

Jet Is sort of Ignite or anthracite,
often cut and polished, which has the
peculiarities in weight and texture Of
the hardest kind Of anthracite. 1t has
been used I'm 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 i'm Britain, and jet orna-
ments are found with Roman relics
in them. The monks used jet for ro-
sary beads at Whitby Abbey, and at
Whitney, where 1t was found In the
greatest abundance. 1t 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 river, rotted or became
water logged and sank out at sea. be-
coming gradually buried In deposit
of fine mud which hardened eventually
into shale Sometimes drops Of BIZ
