Hank Monk, the stage-driver who
gave lloraco Greeley Ins memorable
mountain ride, in common with nil his
tribe, hates tho sight of those ponder
ous specimens of architecture in the
trunk line known as the "Saratoga
bantlbox." Ho likes a "Saratoga"
about as well as a rut likes hot soup.
Ho now drives on the stngo line be
tween Carson City antl Luko Taboo.
Ho was driving on the same line last
summer. A Virginia lady who was
stopping ut the Glcntimok 'House had
a "Saratoga" at Caiwn which she
wished brought tip to tbo Luke. It
wus about as limit und wide as a first
class spring mattress, and seven or
eight leet high. 1 he lady had man
aged to get it as fur as Curson by rail,
but the trouble wus to get it up in the
mountains. Hank had promised two
or three times to bring It up "next
trip, but always arrived without it.
At last Hunk tlrove up ono evening.
and as usual, tho lady came out ti)ion
the varanduh to ask if he had brought
her trunk. Like the great, good man,
Georgo Washington, Hank cannot tell
a lie. and so he said: "No. ma'am. I
haven't brought it, but I think some
ot it will be np in the next stage."
"Some of it," cried tho lady.
"Yos;muybo half of it, or such
matter."
"Half of it!" groaned the horrified
owner ot the "Saratoga.
"Yes; half to-morrow, and the rest
next day or tho dny alter.
"Why, how in tlio name of common
sense can they bring hall ot It r
" w ell, when 1 loll they worosawmg
it in two, and
"Sawing it in two I Sawing iy trunk

"Thut wus what I suid," coolly an
swered Hank. "Two men, with a big
cn-cut saw, wcro working down
through it about tn tho middle, 1
think."
"Sawing my trunk In two? and all
my best clothes in it I Sawing it in
themitldlo? God help tho man thut
saws my trunk I" Anil, In a lowering
passion, she rushed indoors, threaten
mg the hotel, the stage-line, the rail
road company, tho town of Carson,
nnd tho Stato of Nevada with suits for
dsmnges. It wns in vain that she wns
assured that there wns no truth in the
story of the sawing thut Monk was
a great joker. Slio could not be made
believe but that her trunk had been
sawed in two until it arrived intact,
and she had examined its contents
most thoroughly.
Hunk's "Saratoga" joko is still re
membered und told at tho tslonlirook
llouse, hut the ladies see no fun in the
yarn.

THE FORMATION OF COAL.
Ooul, then, according to tho modern
hypothesis, is merely a transmuted
vegetable soil which accumulated, not
under water, but under the trees com
posing prinucvnl forests. These forests
stood on areas which were subjected to
repeated changes ot level in relation to
thut of tlio ocean. It must bo under
stood thut though the ground beneath
us is popularly regarded us the type of
everything steady nnd immovable, this
ear tit of on in is far from deserving the
baracter for Htahilitv with which it in
thus loudly credited ahsoluto rest is
ull but unknown to it. It happens tlmt
even at the present day there are cer
ium regions, suelt us those stibiect to
volcanic, disturbances, whoso tenden
cies are always to move upwards, like
the more aspiring ol our youths, while
there are others, such as tho coral re
gions, which are stcuuoy Mun,iuat, m.
those Uhfbrtunnto yout lis who have failed
in the voyage of life. So it wus in the
lilen unto. 1 ho coal beds nppour to
huvo accumulated on tho latter class of
ureas areas of depression geograph
ical regions winch bail n tendency to
sink below the level of tlio ocean. Alud
and silt hatl collected upon such areas
until the deposits thus tortned reached
the siirtnco level of the water ; and then
enmo whut nppcurB lo have been neces
sary to the growth of tho coal-plants,
namely, a lied ol peculiar gray mud.
Wc tin not know why that mud came
there, or whence it was derived. That
it wits very diilcrent from the ordinary
deposits, tho sandstones ltud shales,
which accumulated in tho carbonifer
ous ocean, is shown by tlio physical
properties which it still jsishcsscs, nnd
which they do not possess properties
which fit it for tho purposo to which it
is now devoted, of being iiiniiiilhcturcd
into fire-bricks, whence its common
name of fire-clay. That this gray mud
was tho soil preferred by the. great
majority of the plants constituting the
carboniferous forests is ns obvious as
that the oak wood of Herefordshire
and the sunny south will not flourish
upon the cold soils of tlio Lancashire
uplands. .Minute spores, representing
tho seeds ot the plants winch allorward
became coal, were flouted to this mud
by wind und water; nnd finding there
a stiitulilo soil, they germinated, struck
root, nntl soon converted the swampy
urea into a magnificent forest. As tho
lives grew they shed successive showers
of their microscopic spores, which often
tell in such vast iiiiuutities us to consti
tute nil important contribution to tho
accumulating vegetable soil ; hut a long
with them there fell other nnd more
bulky objects, such as might bo expect
ed to ncc umtilntAj under a semi-tropical
forest, the dead leaves, broken branches.
und prostrated stems, uliko contributed
n shure to the decaying vegetable mnss.
In tbo tropical regions of tho present
day such accumulations bocomo rnpidly
dccoinposed, and pass uwuy in gaseous
forms; but such does not appear to
have been tho case in the carboniferous
ngc nt least, not in the snme degree,
Even in Lancashire, notwithstanding
all the influences tending to diminish
the bulk of tho vegetublo muss
such us atmospheric deconiposition-
chemicul changes occurring during
tho lutcr process of mineralization, und
the pressure of super-imposed rocks
prolonged throughout ull subsequent
ages, wo have coul-seams six or seven
feet in thickness, while they occur in
Anierieu, us foroxutnple in the oolitic coal
field on tho James river, with tlio sur
prising thickness of betwoen thirty and
forty feet. Such accumulations of
vegetublo Soil as this thickness of solid
coal represents, almost exceed compre
hension, and must indicate enormous
periods of undisturbed forest life. But
nt length a chnnge came over the
sylvan scene ; tho hind sank whether
suddenly or slowly we havo no means
of saying. The numbers nf dead fishes
found on the roofs and upor portions
of somo coals seem to indicate a sudden
rush of pure water over tho laud, fol
lowed by tho quick destruction of the
fishes, tioisoned by tlio bituminous
vegetublo mud in which they found
themselves entangled. In other cases
tlio roof of clean blue shale, devoid of
ull nppenrnnco ut either animal nr
vegetublo remains, nnd resting inuiicdi
uU'ly upon a defined stirlhco of pure
coal', is suggestive of a slower submerg
ence, allowing timo for tiie destruction
and obliteration of all traces of grow
ing vegetation upon its surface. The
extent and duraltou of thu submerged
stngo has varied, as also has, in ull
probability, tlio kind of water under
which it sunk. Whether the coui
meusuitis nro nmriuo or fresh water
desMsit is still an open question, aud
answer to which depends partly upon
the nature of certain bivalve shells
(Anlhructxiui) lbtind in connection
with ninny of the coals. It is allowed
by tho advocates of the murine hypoth
esis, that tho ganoid fishes uo common
among the curlxiuiferous beds uro us
likely to bo frcsb water animals as
murine ones rt ho only living ganoids
with w hich we lire acquainted, being
found in rivers and not in tbo sea; but
tho weiglit of this argument is iniito
rittlly reduced by the fuel thut in thc.se
puleozoio nges ull the known fishes
were either ganoids or placoids: and no
one doubts for n moment thai the great
mnss, even of the former, must Luve
been marine, otherwise wc obtuiu in the
reihictio ad alisurdum that there were
no fishes in many uf the ancient seas.
Rut there remains yet a tuoro conclu
sive urgutnunt in favor of tlio murine
hypothesis.1 Alnuyol tho remains ot
fishes found both ui the lowermost anil
in tho uppermost oohI-ImkIs are those of!
placoids ancient sharks, ollcnol large
siao and of many sistcies. These
fishes, which are quite as abundant in
the carboniferous rocks us are tho gan
oids, were certainly murine animals,
nnd indicate in tin irrcfragublu manner
the marine submergence of some ut
least of tho coal -aca n is. Rut the prob
abilities of the case suggests tho conclu
sion that the nature ui the water would
vary at dillereiit localities. Wo fre
quently meet with long narrow areas
of sandstone plowing theirwuy through
conl-senins which rentiniio their uni
form course right and left of those in
terruptions. Wo may com hide, witli
great probability, that such sudden in
terruptions to the continuity of tlio
vegetublo soil represent ancient creeks
or estuaries which nut in among the
forests, and which, doubtless, reocived
their drainago in the ahupe of brooks
antl rivers. In such cases, submergence,
if not too rapid, Would cause the vege
table soil to be overflowed by, fresh
water at least over limited area but
in other instance the numerous re
mains of sharks imbedded in tho eoal
tell of tlio unmistakable proximity of
tno aca. . . . ,.' . , i ..
The ultimate plivsicnl effects of these
two agencies would lie tho same. Huc
cesnive layers nf sand and mud were
deposited until tho accumulations once
more reached the siirtnco, and the in
dispensable fire-clay again made its ap
pearance. Then, as now, nature 'de

their kites, they tie tho strings to a

It occurred to young Mr. Singerly
that as this proceeding was conducted
ll ion a rational basis, he w ould experi
ment in the snme direction. The diltl
ctilty Cjiirountei'cd by Air. Singerly nt
the outset was thut he hud auuxtreme

high. 1 he residents of the neighbor-
hood were surprised to sec a dog rush

considerable velocity, clnwing ' nn.l

scratching nt tho eiulh for a bold, and

emitting ejaeuhitory howls ns if he
cherished a secret preference tor go
ing in the other direction. And they
were even more nmur.cd to perceive
that he seemed to be anchored lo some
thing in tho heavens. But there was not
time for Investigation. In a moment
a cyclone ur something of the kind
struck the kite, uud before Archibald
Singerly could utter a scream, his dog
had performed about ono third of tin)
journey to the milky way. It is sup-
fosed that tho birds-cyo view enjoyed
iy that animal must have been mag
nificoiit, embracing as it did Alotitit
Airy, Conshohooken, Savannah, St.
Petersburg and Pekin, with numerous
smaller towns and villages. Rut the
precise amount of felicity obtained by
Singerly'B dog while dangling amid
tlio pluuetury system will perhaps nev
er lie ascertained, unless Singerly meets
his victim in a hotter world. For as
the kite came sailing down, tho string
caught on the vane ofa church steeple,
becamo tangled, nnd held Singerly'
dog in permanent suspense. They
tried to blow him loose with shot guns
und they succeeded in producing a
shower of sausage meat after each dia
ehurgo ; but when the dog had all been
shot away, his tuil remained pointing
due north, nnd refused to come down.
Any one who has a good dog can hear
something to his advantage by apply
ing nt Singerly 's. Old Air. .Singerly
would prefer a bob-tailetl dog.

It is found that the yellow lupine will

w hen once established, iji a short time
it covers the barren waste with liettu
