The Formation of Coal.
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.

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 May 1)c a Millionaire.
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

? 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

in connection with this excess of wo?
men is the fact that more than five

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.

Mr M. M. Mattlson,.Manager, Ander?
son, S. C ?Dear Sir: I cheerfully accede
to your request to say a word for the old
.Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company.
I will state that I carry $5,000, all tbe in?
surance I carry, in your Company, having
cancelled 35,000 on tbe assessment and
tontine plans in order to place all in tbe
Mutual Benefit. I am in everyway satis?
fied with tbe manner in which tbe busi?
ness of tbe Company is conducted, and
regard it as one of the worthiest among
tbe many Life Insurance Companies.
I am favorably struck with your 30 per
cent, loan plan for the reason that I get a
dollar's worth of protection for 70 cents
I believe the Mutual Benefit to be one of
tbe strongest, safest, and, by its large divi?
dends to policy-holders, tbe cheapest and
therefore, one of tbe best Companies in
the country for the insured.
Yours Respectfully,
j. k Vandiver,

Company of Newark, N j., six years, and
have been well pleased with tbe dividends
declared, though I have not drawn them
but allowed tbem to remain and purchase
additional insurance. My confidence in
the Company is best shown by my having
taken out during this year two additional
policies, each fully as large as the original
policy. Yours truly,

Since tbe above letters were written both

ance.
