In most cases. Indubitable proof can he obtained in tin? plant structures still observable In thin or polished sections. Coal, therefore, represents vegetable material which has escaped the ordinary processes of decomposition, but has undergone certain chemical and physical alterations. The chemical changes from vegetable tissue to coal consists In the elimination of the more volatile constituents whereas the physical modifications resulting mainly from pressure, render the product more compact and hence more satlsI factory where large quantities of fuel are necessary. Although plant life has grown proi fusely over large portions of the continental land masses for millions of year*, most of the excess beyond that utilized by the animals of the globe has died and been quickly decomposed; in which process the oxldizable particles returned to the atmosphere from whence they came. During several periods, however, nature has produced the requisite conditions for preservation and prepared great accumulations, upon which the Industrial life of the present day is absolutely dependent.?Boston Post. Ancient English Coin The English gulnen Is worth 21 shillings; at par, about *6.11. But there Is no current coin called the guinea. It was Issued between 1663 and 1813, and was so called because It was first struck out of gold from the Guinea coast of Africa, and first served In the Guinea trade The earliest Issues bore a small elePll^n^ beneath the head of the king and had a normal value of 20 shillings. * Due to the depreciated condition of the silver coin with which it competed the guinea was always worth more than its face and In 1717 was made a legal tender for 21 snllllngs. t still % custom for professional fees, subscriptions and the pricf of luxuries to be paid In guineas, though there Is no such coin In use.

T ,-Ht --W'iATi1 Biblical Writers Tell of Nimrod as "Hunter" Hunters are called Nimrod* from Genesis 10:11 where Hutu's graudson Nimrod is referred to mm "? mighty hunter before the Lord." The pre ceiling verse says thut Nluirod "begun to be a mighty one In the eurth," * passage which Johu Skinner, the Bible commentator, interpreted hs "the originator of the Idea of the military state, based on arbitrary force. * in the com text It Is stated that "the bo ginning of his kingdom was Buhel," which was Babylon, and In Mlcah ft :fl "the land of Nliurod" la mentioned us being In (tie "entrances" of Assyria. Although these references to N'liurod are undoubtedly derived from some ancient Babylonian saga, and inituy attempts have been made to Identify him with vurlous historical or legendary personages known through other sources, no equivalent of the name has ever been found on any of the cuneiform records excavated in Asi Syria. Bible scholars are-not agreed as to Just what Is meant by Nlinrod'a being "a mighty hunter be^re the I-fOrd!" Some commentators accept this description in the literal sense of I one who hunts uidmuls. But "glbbor,N' the Hebrew wofh translated hunter In tiie Scriptures, also means hero, and therefore some authorities Interpret the phrase as signifying simply that Nimrod was a great warrior. At any rate Nimrod lias become 'the romantic name for any hunter.?l'athdndoi Magazine. Womtyn Forbidden Use of Seductive Perfumes Today when perfume imumtuct urei\-? boldly advertise the senso-exciting Equalities in certain perfumes, it is interes ting to -note thut in Kngland i^ 1770 a law was pu>'sed prohibiting cosmetic allureinents. As recalled in the/American hruggist, !t rend-: "All women, of whatever rank, profession or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall from and after such act, impose upon, seduce or betray into matrimony, any,of his rnaj esty's subjects by scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artiticial ,teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays. Io?ops, high:heeled shoes and bolstered hips." Watching a Waterspout The British steamship Oronsay, while In the lted sea bound for Suez, sighted six waterspouts within half an hour, two of which formed close to the ship. "Our attention," said an officer, "was attracted to what ut first glance would appear to be the commotion of a shoal of fish disporting themselves close to the surface. As It swept by, only 200 feet off our starboard side, I traveling In a southerly direction, we were able to notice the commotion caused,by wind rushing round In a small area, the wavelets thus caused falling Inward toward the center. When a few miles'astern this became more dense, and developed Into a large waterspout." JL' Complainert Forgotten A hasty resurvey of American his tory fails to reveal the name of a single person who got a worthwhile place In the record because of whining and complaint. The people who are there won their places largely because they buckled down to business and to solid accomplishment and left the complaining, the doubting and hesitation to others. This nation was built 011 hardship. In good stretches of Its later history, little else was known. The work was done not. because of hard times, but In spite of them.?Kansas City Times. Old Washington Tradition There Is an old tradition, still believed In what,.is now West Virginia, that young George Washington went Into a frontier tavern, ordered a drink, and paid for it with a coon Skin, says an article In a Boston paper. He was given 168 rabbit skins as Change. It looked like an awkward bundle to carry about, so Washington stood treat to all the tavern habitues until the skins were gone. Probably It Is mere fiction. But It has persisted, like the earlier tale of the cherry tree and the little hatchet.?Detroit News Queer Froat Effecte A killing frost may damage plants on the ground or on low land when a thermometer high above them shows a temperature well above freezing, says the weather man.
