SOME ODD FACTS ABOUT COAL
Material ls Not Always Black In Color
-coIliery Merely Derivation
From coalery.

A colliery used to be called coal
cry. Coal-neter is an old name given
to one who superintended the meas
uring of Goals. Coalstone is a species
Of hard, opaque, infiammable coal,
which does not soil or dirty the fin-
gers when touched. It is jet-black,
and can be cut. Brown coal has been
found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the
continent. Coal-hod is an old-fash-
ioned name for scuttle. Gas light can
be traced back over 200 years. A Mr..
T. Shirley, in 1869, attributed a burn
ing well at Wigan to the presence Of
coal underneath 1t. Just about this
time Mr.. Clayton procured gas by
distilling coal. Practical lighting,
however, came very slowly. In 1920
a Mr.. Murdoch illuminated his house
with gaslight, and very poor show 1t
Is said to have been. He lived at Re-
druth. Cornwall. In 1902, Birmingham,
in celebrating the peace Of Amiens,
frightened up large factory with
gaslight. Thousands journeyed to see
the wonderful sight-which led to
gas-works being established at that
place, and in Manchester and Halifax.

Then all at once Joseph, too, grew
