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
peculiarities 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 Whitby Abbey, and at
Whitney, where it 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 a river, rotted or became
water logged and sank out at sea, be-
coming gradually buried in a deposit
! of fne mud which hardened Eventually
into shale. Sometimes drops Of BIZ
tumin are found in jet cavities, which
seems to confirm the suspicion of its
wood origin-Detroit News

Another youth was sitting near

Then he carted out the ashes in a basket an
pail.
An from cellar door to alley he just left an
ashy trail,
Then he pulled apart the chimney an 'twus tu'i

An he skinned most all his knuckles "heh he
tried to put it back.
We could hear him talkin' awful, an Ma iooheu
at us an said
az think it would be better if you children went

There were ashes in his eyebrows-but he didnt

There were ashes in his mustache' there "ere
ashes in his eyes.
