Carbon is the principal element in the composition of coal. A good specimen of hard dry anthracite would show from 91 to 98 percent of oarhon. The average anthracite of commerce, known technically as semi-anthracite, j would ^?how from 85 to 90 per cent, I and the bituminous and semi-bitumin? ous varieties would range all the way from 50 to 85 per cent. The amount of volatile matter contained increases from three per cent in the anthracites to 38 per cent in the bituminous species. The conduct of these differ? ent kinds of coal in combustion gives practical emphasis to the difference in composition. The anthracites burn with a small blue flame of carbonic oxide until thoroughly ignited, give off no smoke, and leave a compara? tively small percentage of ashes. The bituminous classes, on the other hand, burn with a continuous yellowish flame, give off considerable smoke, and leave a large percentage of ashes. That coal is a vegetable product may be specifically proved. Indeed, ocular demonstration may be had of that faot. For while to the naked eye the structure of a fragment of mineral coal is purely amorphous, yet if that fragment be make so thin that it will transmit light, and 'if it be then ex? amined through a powerful microscope, its vegetable structure will be readily distinguished. Heat, pressure and confinement have produced the trans? formation. It is simply a process of smothered combustion. The operation may be watched in any peat bog. A peat bed is simply an accumulation of the remains of plants which have grown and decayed, and have been year by year buried more deeply under succeeding growths. Remove the up? per layer, and you find peat with its 52 to 66 per cent of oarbon. The deeper you go, that is, the older and longer buried the product, the better will be its quality for fuel. If this process of deposition should continue through many geologic ages, the result would doubtless be true coal. It is known that during the carbon? iferous age the area now covered by the Kiddle, Southern and Western States was little more than a vast marsh burdened with the most luxu? riant vegetation. The conditions were all favorable for the rapid and enor? mous growth of plants. The soil was rich and moist. The heat was greater than exists to-day at the torrid zone. The humidity of the atmosphere was great end constant. The airwas laden with carbon. Plants luxuriated in it. They grew to enormous sizes. Plants which in our day are mere stems, a fraction of an inch in 'diameter, were in that time represented by trees from one to three feet in diameter and from 40 to 100 feet in height. This mass of vegetation, including more than 500 different species, was constantly growing, falling and decaying, each succeeding growth forming a still richer bed for the vegetation to follow. : If the theory propounded by Lap? lace is correct, our earth was at one time a boll of liquid fire. Cooling and condensation progressed from the sur? face toward the center. Contraction of the earth's orust necessarily follow? ed, and vast areas of land sank and were; covered by the waters. This process was still going on during the carboniferous age. The submergence of a bed of this incipient coal meant the cessation, for a time, of vegetable growth fiom its surface. That sur? face was covered instead by the sand, mud and gravel washed over it by the waves, by the drift from higher levels, and by the limestone deposits swept up to it from the sea. When con? traction ceased for a time and the earth's crust again became stable, the waters began to recede, leaving behind them great wastes of mud and sand. And, following this slow recession to the sea, vegetation crept once more over the surface of the land, the soil grew rich with the products of decay, and plant life reigned and rioted anew. But cooling and contraction of the earth's body were going continuously on, and submergence followed again and again, each bed of vegetable mat? ter, thick or shallow, being covered in turn by its layers of sand and salt. . In this submergence and burial of the deposits of the coal era we find all the conditions necessary for the transformation of vegetable matter in? to coal. Only from one-ninth to one sixteenth of the mass of vegetable matter subjected to this heat and pressure was retained in the form of coal. This was largely carbon, the hydrogen sod oxygen having been ex? pelled. \ As we have already seen, the anthracite coal contains a much larger percentage of carbon than does the bituminous; and a much less quantity of volatile matter. Of the immense coal areas in the United States only an extremely small percentage are of the anthracite variety, and these all lie in the state of Pennsylvania, east of the Allegheny Mountains, with the exception of a small field in Rhode Island. It is not thought that the vegetable life which entered into one class differed in any material respect from that which entered into the other. The presumption is natural, if not conclusive, that prior to the close of the carboniferous age all the coal de? posits had been bituminous in character, but that the violent move? ment of the earth'8 crust at the time of the Appalachian revolution, the enormous pressure and intense heat, were sufficient to expel a large portion of the volatile matter from the bitu? minous coal beds, and otherwise change their character into what we now class as anthracite. In the slate strata im? mediately overlying each coal seam, it is common to find the impressions of twigs, nuts, seeds, leaves, the most delicate fern tracery, and the tracery, and the trunks of gre&t trees mashed flat between the layers, while in the softer beds of cannel coal, whole trees have been found, roots, trunks, branches, leaves, seeds, and all trans? formed into- like material with that by which they were surrounded. One of the results of the violent disturbances of the earth's crust already noted was to leave great rents in it across the lines of strata. These rents are known geologically as fissureft. They have faces which are either parallel or in? close a wedge shaped cavity. Some times igneous rock from the molten mass below was forced up into these openings; sometimes the cavities were filled with drift and rock fragments from the surface. In cither case the mass became hard and compact, but with a character materially different from the rock on either side, the formation of which was contemparan eous with that of the coal. The mind must exert itself to the utmost in order fully to realize through what vast periods of time the pro? cesses were continued by which the coal of to-day was formed. Still more difficult of comprehension is the fact of the enormous amount of vegetable matter which entered into the compo? sition of these beds of coal. In the Pottsville regions in Pennsylvania the average thickness of the combined anthracite coal seams is 120 feet. In order to make up this quantity of resultant coal, there must have been an average thickness of vegetable de? posit amounting to at least 1,200 feet. ?New Science Review. I ? The pwl looks wise because its eyeballs ^re immovably fixed in their j socket?. "v Power by Electricity. If success in long distance power transmission shall he achieved by the Niagara experience a host of competi? tive power supply stations will spring into existence wherever there is an available water supply or favorable fuel locations, such as the coal mining regions or oil or gas fields. Though the Niagara plant has little to fear from a rival waterfall, the probable competition with power derived from largo steam central stations promises to be serious, particularly in the man? ufacturing cities located within a radii of 150 to 300 miles. At present no such central power supply stations exist, although their advent seems imminent. Consequent? ly the only data on which to predicate the cost of power to such installations is the experience derivable from the largest and most carefully administer? ed steam mills, says the Review of Reviews. With coal varying from $2 to $2.00 per ton, an allowace of 10 per cent, for interest and dividends on in? vested capital, and assuming the most careful executive administration, it seems probable that a large, continu? ously operating steam central station with a daily average output of 15,000 to 20,000 horse power could produce electricity at the rate of $45 to $55 per horse power per annum. The Niagara Company have offered to sell electricity at the Falls station at $18 per horse power per annum, this figure doubtless including what the company considers a profitable margin. In each case a horse powor is to be delivered for twenty-four hours per day, 365 days per year. ' Obviously the difference between $45 and $18, or $27, may be expended to cover losses in transmission and profit on the necessary capital invested in transmission lines and still permit the Niagara Company to compete on an equal basis with the best designed central station. This difference is a very wide margin, and would seem to afford so large a radius of distribution as to easily absorb all the energy that the Cataract Company could dispense. Our more sanguine electrical engin? eers predict that at no distant day even New York and Chicago may be thus supplied. Steam experts, possi? bly a little jealous of their electrical confreres, positively declare 150 or 175 miles to be the commercial limit of power transmission. The Widow. He oame into the smoking car, and sat down opposite and lighted his pipe. I took notice that he was a man of at least 60, and that he had his hair and whiskers dyed and made other efforts to disguise his age. He looked so serious and solemn as he smoked, that I ventured to ask him if he had receiv? ed jany bad news. r,No; not so very bad," heanswered. "I was kinder thin kin' how a man kin make a fool of himself." "We are all liable to make mis? takes." "Yes, I guess we are. How old a man would you take meto be?" "Oh, about 60." "Do I look perfectually natural?" "No, sir. A man of your age should have gray hair and whiskers. ' "Then you could tell that they were dyed?" "At the first glance." "Yes, I guess ye could," he reluc? tantly admitted, as he filled up for another smoke. "That's whar I made a fool of myself. Did ye see the bride when she got on-at Jackson?" " "I didn t notice. Have you been getting married?" "Got spliced yesterday. She's in the next car back." "A girl or widow?" "Reg'lar widow?40 years old, owns 180 acres of land, and 1 is gol durned good-lookin'." "Then you are to be complimented, and I hope you will be very happy. "Thanks. I should feel better if I hadn't made a fool of myself." "How was that?" "You hit my age purty clus. Yes. I'm 60 and a little over, and if I hadn't this dye on, my whiskers would be as white as snow. When I began to court the widow a year ago, I thought I'd spruce up and look as young as I could. I went to the barber and got fixed up, and it cost me 50 cents a week right along to have the dye put on." "You wanted to deceive the widow as to your age?" "Waal, yes, I kinder wanted to be about 48 or 50, you see. F?rst and last, this 'ere dyin' has cost me $25." "But accomplished the object." "That's what I thought all along till we got married yesterday. Then what d'ye B'pose I found out?" "She suspected the dye, perhaps." "Nary time. Say, stranger, that widow is nigh-sighted and color-blind to boot. She never even knowed that I had any hair on my head, and as for whiskers, she thought they were white, and was tickled to death about it." "Then?then?" "Then the dyin' was all blamed nonsense, and I'm $25 out of pocket, and the widow would hev bin glad 'nuff to marry me even if I'd been cross-eyed, bald-headed, bow-legged, and had lost one lung in the corn? field."

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has always been a poor, plodding country lawyer, satisfied with a limited prac? tice and small fee. He has lived un? ostentatiously since he came to Wash? ington . His family have not appeared in society, and have been regarded as plain, unpretentious people. But I hear that Mr. Jones is going to be a millionaire, all as a reward for his patience and faith in an eccentric in? ventor by the name of Graves, down in Arkansas, whom he has bofriended and supported from his own slim in? come for many years. Graves is a man of inventive genius, but a ne'er do-well, and entirely without money making faculties. He has produced several useful mechanisms, but they have never paid him anything, and he has lived in penury and often in priva? tion until Senator Jones accidentally saw a method he had contrived for compressing cotton into circular in? stead of angular bales. It occurred to him that this was a very i iiportant matter, and he encouraged Graves to develop the idea, in the mean time furnishing him money to feed himself and his family, and buy materials to carry on hiB experiments. As a con? sideration for this assistance the in? ventor assigned to his benefactor a half interest in the patents. The economy of the machine was soon de? monstrated. It packs the cotton so that 50 per cent, of freight charges can be saved. The bale has the shape of a cylinder instead of a cube, and the same amount of cotton that fills the space of forty cubic feet in an angular bale occupies only twenty-two cubio feet when shaped like a cylin? der. The first shipment of cylinder bales was made early in the present season, and about 1,000 have been sent thus far. Although as heavy as the old-fashioned bale, they are much .more easily and quickly handled, for they can be rolled in and out of ware houses and railway cars.? Washington Letter to ike Chicago Recorder. ? The fact is more people are~dy ing from catarrh than any other dis? ease; and whiskey or poor brandy is producing more catarrh than any other cause. ? An eccentric citizen of Philadel? phia was once met by a man who asked him the way to the sheriff's office. He responded : "Every time you earn $5 spend $10." ? One of the curious revelations of the recent British census is the ex traordinay predominance of the female over the male sex among the grown inhabitants of England. The figures show that the excess of the former over the latter amounts to exactly 899,000. Another remarkable thing in connection with this excess of wo? men is the fact that more than five sixths of the total 899,000 are widows. Mary Ann's Tarn. A lady, attending a small church in a rural district, tells an amusing story of the manner in which the musical services were conducted. The music attempted by the choir was of a florid and pretentious character, and alto? gether beyond the abilities of ambi? tious singers. The relation between the pastor and the congregation was evidently of the simplest and most unaffected nature. In one of the selections there occurred a long and showy soprano solo, in cheap imitation of the Italian style. The young woman who attempted it sang gayly on till the clergyman evi? dently thought she had enjoyed her fair share of attention and glory. Accordingly he raised his hand as a signal, and the music ceased. "Let that young woman with the red feather have done singing, and let Mary Ann Quilty sing the rest. It is Mary Ann's turn now." Dies in His Fiance's Arms. Cincinnati, Ohio, Deoember 2.? Charles Wheeler, defaulting cashier of the Cincinnati Abbattoir Company, who disappeared from iere Saturday, committed suicide to-day at Erlanger, Ky., under sensational circumstances. Wheeler managed to evade the officers for Borne time, although Erlangcr is a j suburb of this city. While in Erlan? ger he met and made love to Miss Anna Fisher and became secretly en? gaged to her. Afterward it was dis? covered he was a defaulter and had a wife living in Cincinnati. Wheeler then disappeared. Yesterday he re? turned to Erlanger and to-day Detec? tive White, of this city located him at the home of Miss Fisher. At sight of the detective Wheeler drew a revol? ver and attempted to Bhoot himself, but Miss Fisher threw her arms around his neck and prevented his firing for a time, but after a short struggle Wheeler succeeded in getting the wea? pon to his head and fired, falling with the girl still clinging to him. He ex? pired instantly. Wheeler comes of aristocratic family and was a thorough scholar, having been educated for the priesthood. What Young Men Should learn. Here is a story from the Philadel? phia Times that sounds very much like Robert J. Burdette, although that is only a guess: "Remember, son, that the world is older than you are by several years; that for thousands of years it has been so full of smarter, better and younger men than yourself that their feet stuck out of the dormer windows, but when they died the old globe went jogging along, and not one person in ten mil? lions went to the funeral, or even heard of their death. Be as smart as you can, of course. Know as much as you can without blowing the packing out of your cylinder heads. Shed the light of your wisdom abroad, but don't dazzle people with it. And don't imagine a thing is so, simply because you say it is so. Don't be too sorry for your father because he knows so much less than you do. The world has great need of young men, but no greater need than the young men have of it. Your clothes fit you better than your father's fit him?they cost more money ; they are more stylish ; your mustache is neater, the cut of youi: hair is better and you arc pret? tier, oh, for prettier than'pa.' But stop a moment, young man and reflect. The old gentleman gets the bigger salary and his homely, scrambling signature on the business end of a check will drain more money out of the bank in five minutes than, perhaps, youi: handsome autograph can do dur? ing the balance of your mortal life. Young men are useful and they are also ornamental, and wc all like them ?but they arc no novelties, son?oh, no, nothing of the kind; they have been here before. Don't be so modest as to shut yourself clear out, but don't be so fresh that you will have to be put away in a cooler to keep from spoiling, Don't be afraid that your Pierit will not be discovered. People ftjl over the world are looking for you, And if you are worth finding they will find you.M ? "George, I fear you are marrying me just because my uncle left me a fortune." "No, my precious I I'd marry you just the same if some other friend had left it to you." ?Here is a curious item from a Ger? man exchange: Miss Mary T?te, an American girl and a pianist of consid? erable merit, died a short time ago, only 21 years old. Her last wish was to be laid out upon and buried in her grand piano. She was laid upon the instrument, a choral being played upon it, while religious services were held over her body. After the ceremony the cover was raised, the strings torn from the piano and the body placed in it. Then the piano legs were taken off and the body of the piano raised upon the hearse.
