NATURE'S GREAT FACTORY IN WHICH IS PRODUCED COAL. n fnmp or I lie Mineral Telia Iti In(ereatlnK Million Year lllfitory In a Fevr Words?A Wonderful Proce?i of Evolution. Your life to mine Is ns n second to n thousand years. I will let you know that In my time I have seen 6uch sights as would tua-ke you gasp In astonishment. Once, In untold ages past, long before man had appeared on this old world, 1 was alive. Yes, the dirty old piece of coal was a living thing In those dim, distant ages. A thing of beauty, too?a thing to he admired. 1 was a fern. 'Not such a paltry thing ns you deeerate your homes with and grow in little earthenware ntTnirs. My trunk alone measured five feet across. Yet 1 was nothing out of the ordinary, in those days there were many little plants forty feet or so in height. Every bit of coal you toss about in such heedless fashion once was a living plant?a plant which grew and flourished, even as your plauts of today ),|VI1 uuu uuuntill. I>UI III i lir.se uegenerate days plants are poor, feeble little tilings. Plants were plants in those days. We had no petted and pampered ferns. We had no houses of glass, artificially kept warm so Hint the poor little dears shouldn't get cold. Those were the days of real ferns, of healthy ferns free from all newfangled .nonsense about fertilizers and soils and aspects and such childish weaknesses. In those early days the earth was not as It Is today. It was hotter, for It had cooled from a globe of molten rock. Its atmosphere was heavy with warm vapors; close and oppressive, you would call it, but It just suited us, as we grew and luxuriated in It. The earth's crust was thin and heaved about, gradually raising vast-continents from the bed of the sea and slowly dragging others deep Into the ocean It was a time of vnst changes. 1 grew 011 the muddy banks of a great pool of water, which was fed liy sluggish streams and bordered by monstrous reeds. On tlie other side stretched n vast swamp and a dark forest of tangled vegetation. Por hundreds of fftiles there was no break to this forest beyond a few bogs and pools of brackish water. The sun shone hot upon me, so no wonder I grew well in this humid atmosphere. Then there were frightful storms, when mighty trees were tlung down and swept by floods to the bottom of the pool. Tills bad gone on ages before I appeared above ground; it went I on ages after. The result was that the hnttnm of tlio nrvnl wno n innco nf follor. trees. The newly felled trees pressed on the bottom ones, and after thousands of years the water, the mud, the heat and the pressure turned the mighty beds of vegetable matter Into what you call coal. In the dense forest It was somewhat the same. Trees were thrown down by hurricanes; fresh ones grow and fell victims to storms. So It went on for long centuries until the last forest grew on the top of a great thickness of buried trees, ferns and mosses. Amid this exubernnt vegetation were many fantastic and uncouth animals. Round about me they made the forest resound with their hideous bcllowings. They were so strangely shaped that 1 could not well describe them to you. Even some of the flies had wings half a foot long from tip to tip. One day I saw a commotion in the midst of the laker far away from me. The bed rose up and belched forth steam and ashes and molten rock. In the years that followed the fluid rock rolled down the sides of the volcano into the water below. Mighty clouds of steam arose, and as the vapor condensed it fell upon us as warm rain. This is why 1 grew so well and why the vegetation around me was so rankly luxuriant. Many years after the land began to 6lnk. Slowly It went down; slowly the water closed over our heads until all the mighty forests were deep under the sea. Thus we stopped for countless years, and a heavy bed of sand accumulated above us. Then, Just as slowly, we arose until we formed a vast elevated land. Then came other forests?tree? wliose limbs were tangle<l with enormous festoons and garlands of strange climbing plants. Terrible thunderstorms alone broke tbe silence of these wooded solitudes save when some mighty fern crashed to the ground or when the wind tore down young branches aud burled them Into the swamps. So all went on anew, us of old, and the continent sank once more below the waters of the ocean, taking with It the beds of burled verdure. Yet again It rose, and ugaln It sank. So layer upon layer of plants and of sand were formed?vast layers, which took ages unthinkable to form?until there was a depth of 10,000 feet of hard baked wood pud sand, of coal and dirt Look al me. and you will And that yon can trace my markings. In every pit yot enn And hundreds of delicate fern leaves and mosses as perfect as when alive. You can see even the veins ol the fragile fronds, so beautifully press ed are they. Dirty, old cool, lndeedl It was tbe sun which mado me. 1 nbsorbed bis rays then. When yoc burn me, I give them bock again. 1 am a mass of bottled sunshine. Do yot realize tbat the Are you watch Is the suushlne which blazed In those solemt forests Innumerable ages ago?

Inir ' lug the progress of the piece one of hti new lines is after a quick entrance ad ! dressed to King Richard, and lie says: "My lord, the Duke of Ruckinglian is taken!'' I can remember that on the night o ids first appearance he was frightful!; nervous and was anxious to proclaiu the fact that the Duke of Ruckinglian j was taKcn, as 110 hail boon practictnj i aiul studying it for several weeks. Tin result was that ho got the wrong cm I and made his entrance before time | crying out: "My lord, the Duke of Bucklnghan is taken!'' Richard turned to him and in an uti dor tone said: "Get off! Get oft*! You'r too soon." The actor left the stage mortified an< more "rattled" than ever, so tha scarcely was ho in the wings before h again made the same mistake an again proclaimed that the Duke o Buckingham was taken. Richard tun ed upon him for the second time an tolfl him to leave the stage. lie als whispered, "Somebody take care o that Idiot and tell ldin when to mnk his entrance." The prompter grabbed the actor b the hand and when the proper tim came said: "Now is your time. Te Richard lie's taken." The actor rushed upon the stage, lie: ltated, looked at Richard and then in wild tone of voice exclaimed: "We have him. by heaven, and w have him sure!"
