Made Discovery of Great Value
to the Scientific World.


London, Eng Professor Barton
scammell, president of the Radium
Institute at Dover, asserts that ne has
discovered the origin of coal. He has
been engaged in research work with
lava from Mount Vesuvius which is
being used as fertilizer, and says this
led to the discovery that the layers
of 'bind"--the mysterious substance
found on the top and bottom of all
coal seams-are identical in analysis
with lava The origin of coal is thus
explained by Professor Scammel1. 1t
Is cellulose of trees and vegetable
matter, earbonized by hot lava, thus
forming coal, and sunk into the
depths of the earth by disturbances
of the earth's crust at remote period.
He claims that conversion of the
bind containing several elements, now
g waste product, into fertilizer, will
enrich the mining and agricultural in
