Many different theories are held by geologists to account for the formation of hods of coal between strata of rock. The simplest of them is that vast manses of wood, such ns grew in the carboniferous age of the earth’s de velopment, were sunk under the sea, that deposits of silt upon them changed to rock nml that by some upheaval of Hu* earth the bottom of tin* sea was lifted above sen level. Such unhenvnl Occurred in remote geologic ag- s In the Mississippi valley, all the central parts of which were undoubtedly at out* time covered with water ami formed an arm of the sen. The one thing cer tain about coal Is that by one process of nature nr another It has been con verted from the giant trees which grew lu the carboniferous age of geology. How many thousands or millions of years that was nobody knows. All that Is known about the duration of different geologic ages of the world is that they were long. IlrnniHtlc Uclnll.

People who have seen tin* play may remember that the Hist seem* Is a small Inn and that there Is supposed to have been a tleep fall of snow. The innkeeper. Mat thias (Irving), walked In on that lirst night In ordinary black hoots, with no snow upon them. My mother spoke of It. and afterward Matthias wore high > black hoots and stiHid on tin* mat while the snow was brushed off. Remarks were made In the papers as to Mr. Ir ving's attention to the minutest details, and this was cited as an Instance." I*n n IhIi m.-ul m In Karl) I In is. The following extracts from early records give us a glimpse of some of the singular punishments In vogue In old New England: "In 10311 Dorothy Brown, for lientlng her husband. Is ordered to tie hound and chained to a post.” "In 1043 the assistants order three Htonehatn men to sit in tin* stocks on lecture day for traveling on the Hale hath.” "In 1051 Amin, wife of George Ellis, was sentenced to 1h* publicly whipped for reproaching the magistrates.” "In 1058, for slandering the elders, sin* had a deft stick put on tier tongue for half an hour.” An Oilil Mention. It seems doubtful If there Is anything more crooked than the following title of a pamphlet published lu 1703: “The Deformity of Sin Cured; a Herman Preached at St. Michael's, Crooked Lane. Before the Prince of Orange, by the Bev. J. Crookshanks." The pam phlet was sold by Matthew Denton at the Crooked Billet near Cripple gate.
