FACTS ABOUT COAL.
;
The United States was cluriniy .
i
the eoal period, a low swampy j
level, not unlike the iagoon dis-,
trict of Louisiana. Thorc were!
also probably scores of such'
swamps as the Dismal swamp of ;
Virginia, which has an area of GOO j
square miles, and a depth of 10 to
'50 feet black mold or peat in a
paMy state. These swamps dif
ferent in size as well as in kinds of
trees, reeds and ferns growing in
them. Some marshes have slow
floating -water; others stagnant
water. Peat was accumulated by
means of a micioscopic plant
(sphagnum palustre), and centu
ries were required to form a de
posit of 30 or -10 feet. The swamps
with Mowing water would be min
gled with foreign material, while
the stagnant marshes would in
crease only in pure carbon. "When
a vast area was submerged, 100
fathoms of water above it, the
pulpy peat bed, 00 feet thick, was
reduced to a few feet of coal.
The clay next to the coal absorbed
enough carbon to become fire-clay.
Pressure and heat resolved the up
per layer of clay into slate and
soapstone. "We have thus under
lying fire-clay and ovcrly'ng slate
the precise oider mi which we find
nearly all coal. Then the land is
raised to a higher level rnd be
comes a permanent pai of the
continent. The swamps ;,i which
there were bayous or flows of
water would give impure and slaty
coal. The purest coal would be
found in the still waters of lagoons.
Thus was formed, probably, the
Briar Hill coal, the block coal ol
Indiana, and the semi-block coal
of "Wilmington and Braidwood.
Coal contains the greatest store or
amount of heat in the smallest
compass, and yields it in the larg
est quantity at the least cost, and
besides, it is most universally dis
tributed through all countries. It
is, in shoit, the cheapest source of
that wonderful power, steam, which
is the brsis of the world's pro
gress. No oidinary combustible
substances have a heating power
equal to it. The smelting point
of iron is 0,749 deg. (Falir.), far
beyond the heating power of wood.
But coal has dominion over iron
and all its ores and forms, with
a surplus heating power of nearly
1 ,000 deg. Had the heat power
of coal been limited to 1,000 desr.
lower, or the melting point of iron
established 1,000 deg. higher than
it is, the cnt'te human nice would
have remained savages or barba
rians until this day. The concen
tration of heat power in coal c.n
be in some sense appreciated when
it is stated that the power developed
in the combustion of five tons of
coal represents the plrysical ener
gies which a man is able to exert
by laboring ten hours a day for
fifty 3 ears.
The gra'M of coal, the drop of
water, and the atom of iron are
the triumvirs that have ushered in
what is to be a grand millcnium in
human history. It-is scarcely fifty
3'cars since the dawn of this era,
yet in that time what a revolution
has been wrought. If it had been
prophesied 0,000 years ago that a
grain of coal would some time
evoke from a drop of water a
power that can be so distributed
and applied that it will do all the
drudgery of the human race; so
subtle and powerful that it will
spin and weave, plow, plant, har
vest, and carr3' the golden grain to
market; dig canals and cellars:
build railroads and forts; excavate
mines and shafts: fonre anchors
and spider-webs of steel; in shoit,
form and fashion all material for
all uses, with what wonder would
we have regarded the fulfillment of
this prophecy. But all this was
foretold in the constitution of coal j The Slave TraOeon the Nile,
and iron. These are prophetic of! SweiHsli missionaries in Xubia
the human period in the earth's jrep0,t that they have lately expe-
history of the coming race ol J
man who should combine these
properties in mobt perfect action.
Beauty m the Su.f.
A naughty correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution who has been
passing a holiday at the seaside
thus describes his impressiens:
Surf-bathing is a revelation! I
went iu yesterday with a lovely
and modest woman from the Xoi th,
with whom 1 had but a short ac
quaintance, although 1 had seen a
good deal of her. As we stood
awaiting the coming of a huge
wave, she clutched my arm, and
poising on one foot bent the other
tag and pulled her stocking over
her knee trying vainly to make
it cover a stiip of white. She
thought nothi'i": of this neither
did 1. In an instant the wave was
on us, and we were riding the
swell as happy as a pair of ducks.
That evening this lady went
sailing with the same party that
went bathing with her in the morn
ing. As she stepped over the side
of the boat she exposed about four
inches of her pretty silk stockings,
and her face was crimsoned with
shame and mortification.
Now, why this difference? It
was exactly the same limb that
had been exposed to the knee all
the morning without any thought
of confusion. As 1 came "ilo the
hotel corridor yesterday a young
lady screamed:
"Shut the door! Quick! There's
somebody coming!'
She had put on her bathing suit
for a trial trip m her mother's
room, and was horrified that a.
man should see her iii that fix. A
half hour later she and I were ly
ing on the beach, the wares purl
ing over us at every thob of the
sea, and she, with her shapely
figure bended, was writing her
name in the sand with her toes,
wlrle her merry laugh rang above
the roar of the waves.
But if the dressing on the beach I
and the unconsciousness with which
the most modest of the jjirls stand
the expdsurft consequent upon it
is remarkable, the conduct of a
crowd :u bathing is more so. That
is a miracle of social life, I think.
The g'vls clad in Ihis prankingly
pretty dress the parsing pressure
of the waves coiitiiiu'Mg the curves
of the body with the w?nn flesh
glowing and throbbing beneath
the single garment the girls thus
attired, run hand :n hand in the
water with their sweelheaits, and
romp and frolic, and arc ducked
and hauled out b their feet, or
are clasped around the waist, or
catch the feliow about the neck as
a big wave comes and yet there
is not the slightest prurient sug
gestion, and no'hutt of gallantry.
I don't believe a scandal was ever
born "i the surf. T cannot con
ceive a sentimental attitude amid
the roll'ng breakers.
I am compelled to confess that
a month at the seaside does not
confirm the general ide..s of femi
nine symmetry that all gallant men
are supposed to entertain. It is
the rarest thing to find a gM with
straight limbs, graceful carriage
firm flesh, full chest, and unre
strained attitudes and poses. In a
majority of cases they are wabbly
and uncertain; with a stoop mi the
shoulders, a mincing step, toes
turned in (the number of pigeon
toed girls developed here is posi
tively alarming), and general de
bility of gait and flabb'ness of
attitude.
That was a happy suggestion of
our friend Jones' four-year-old
hopeful, who instantly prescribed
St. Jacobs Oil for his grandmother,
who was limping atouhd with
rheumatism.
ri(ncp,l much opposition from tin
Egyptian agents and officers in
the Upper Nile valley, who ex
ceedingly dislike Europeans nn .
account of their hatred of the!
slave trade. A very extensive j
slave lrade is catricd on by
Egyptian and Turkish merchants
in the region south and west of the
Blue Nile. Troops of negroes
are brought northward in chains.
Those who prove too weak for the
journey are either abandoned
without mercy to perish with hun
ger or wild beasts, or their drivers
at once kill them.
The girls are sold to the harems
of wealthy Egyptians or Turks,
while the men and women are dis
posed of as servants. There is
also a steady demand lor male
negroes of a certain class for attend
ants and guardians of the .Moham
medan harems; buta great propor
tion of these men die from the
injuries sustained in the prelimi
nary training fev the duties of this
office. The Swedish missionaries
have been compelled to return to
Khortoon, instead of penetrating
southward, as they had intended.
The Egyptians regard the mission
aries and all whiles as spies upon
the opponents of the barbarities
connected with the extensive slave
traflic with the interior. St. James
Gazette.
Railroad Notes.
Track is being laid on the North
ern Pacific at the rate of twenty
miles a day.
It is estimated that -100,000 per
sons were employed in 1SS1 iu the
construction of new tail ways.
The seventy-mile gap on the
Northern California and Oregon
railroad will occupy two and a halt
years to build.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
has in service west of Pittsburg,
34,000 cars, according to the ofli
cial report of July 1st.
The dividends paid by railroads
last year amounted to $1.52 per
inhabitant. The earnings of all
the railroads were $'225,600,000.
It is estimated that there are at
least ten brakemen killed through
out the country every day ;,i the
vear.
The latest freight car in the
market is thirty-four feet long and
eight and a half wide weighing
27,000 pounds, with a capacity of
VljOOO pounds.
The locomotives of the world
represent together a power of over
20,000,000 horse-power, and the
steamships over -1,000,000 horse
power. The first i ail road on which a
steam locomotive was used. in JS02,
was the Mcrlhy.'-Tydvil railway,!
in the north of England. Stephen.
son put his on the Killing vorth
Railway in ISM, and passenger
carriages were first used on the
Stockton & Darlington Railway, in
1821. "Wooden tramways were
used n the mines in northern
England as early ?s 1 G02.
Texas railroads are in trouble.
The law forbids them to charge
any fraction over three cents per
mile, and they have no cents in
that country to make change with,
the smallest coin used being a
nickel. The penalty for taking
anything over the legal rate is $50
for each offense, and to avoid vio
lating the law they are obliged to
frequently give more than the
right change to customers aggre
gating a heavy loss every day
since the law went into effect. The
roads are now arranging for cents
bv the barrel.

of Parlcers Hair Balaam explain the

There is a tender and true story
told of Walt Whitman; at the
funeral of a little child, a nephew,
the poet sat near the coflin, and
held on his knee a be.i.Uiiul little
girl; she looked mi childish wonder
upon the paraphernalia of death,
and then inquiringlv gazed "ito
the old man's face. "Von dcu't
know what it is my dear, do you,"
said the poet gently; then he
added reflectively: -'Neither do
we!"
