If we recall the teaching of geology and astronomy, telling us how the earth was once too hot to sustain life, we shall see that the mixture of gases that covers the solid surface of the earth, and that we familiarly call air, must have had a very interesting his tory. According to one widely accept ed theory of the earth’s origin, all that we know now as the solid earth, and all the liquid matter that now fills the ocean beds was once gas eous. The gases of the atmosphere are simply composed of these particu lar elements which are gaseous at the present temperature of the earth’s surface, which have not en tered into complete combination with the solid matter of the earth’s crust, and which have not been whisked away into space by centrifugal force, this being the fate that is supposed to have befallen the former atmosphere of the moon, and some of the lighter constituents of our own atmosphere. In the past when the earth’s temper ature was much higher, and when many other conditions were different, It is more than probable, for instance, that, long before man appeared, tbe proportion of carbon dioxide in the air was much higher than at present. This would account for the extreme lux uriance of vegetation, to which every lump of coal bears witness, the carbonic acid of the air being one of the most important constituents of the food of plants. Again, It is quite cer tain that, at a very much more remote period, which must certainly date back tens of millions ^f years, the temperature of the earth’s surface was so hot that water could not oc cur in its liquid form. At that time one of the most important and abun dant constituents of the earth’s at mosphere was gaseous water, or water vapor.

The reproduction of a very rare car icature portrait of Dickens appeared In a recent number of Dickensian. William Miller was the author of the portrait, which was advertised for In vain by F. G. Kitton, more than twenty years ago, for insertion In his book, “Charles Dickens by Pen and Pencil,” says Christian Science Moni tor. Dickens first saw the portrait In question when walking along Picca dilly with Disraeli one day. He was vastly amused, and, entering the shop, bought several copies, one of which was sent to the Hon. Mrs. Richard Watson at Rockingham. In a letter written from Gad’s Hill place he says: “I hope you may have seen a large- , headed photograph with little legs representing the undersigned. It has just sprung up so abundantly in all the shops that I am ashamed to go about town looking In at the picture windows, which is my delight. It seems to lie extraordinarily ludicrous and a better likeness than the portrait done in earnest. It made me laugh when I first came upon it, until I shook again, in open, sunlighted Pic cadilly.” Pisans.

In the majority of the factories which the Belgians .were sallowed to operate during German occupation, the plant remains, but everywhere all stocks, of raw material have been en Mrely removed. In the other factories, which the Bel Tians were not allowed to operate, 'here was a systematic removal of all the machinery which was dismantled ond sent to Germany. The names of 'he German manufacturers to whom the machinery was shipped have been ascertained. Belgian industrial circles s-p-i to be divided whether to attempt to re cover the stolen machinery from Ger many, now necessarily worn, or to buy new machines abroad and to make the Germans nav for it. The Belgian coal fields in the re gions of Mons. Charleroi and Liege were operated by the Germans who used Belgian coal as currency to ob ♦ain from Holland provisions, cattle and horses. Thus, while the Belgian population suffered from cojd. coal rese in price to 400 or 500 frapes a ''on and Belgians witnessed the snee 'acle of workmen weakened bv priva ♦’ons forced to drag heavy carts *oki cd with coal, taking the place of t*>e ’horses which the Germans had stolen. The industrial region of Charleroi suffered severely at the hands of the C.ormans who destroyed the machines which they did not take awn V and re moved ell material of which thov could not make use. A great amount of work will be necessary to clear up the wreckage and even if the stolen machinery or its equivalent is obtain ed it will be impossible to resume production before the middle of next year. Nothing now remains of the estab lishment Thy le Chateau which annu ally turned out about 200.000 tons of steel. Sixty coke furnaces, four blast furnaces, four 20 ton converters and six sets of flattening machines have been destroyed or sent beyond the Rhine. Some of the steam engines were blown up and blast furnaces were de stroyed by cutting down the support ing columns. The damage there amounts to several millions of francs. It would be easier to enumerate what the Germans have left than to describe the ruin they have caused. TO miTieW APPIY SA5E TEA Look Young!
