ROGERS ON COAL_
The Glasgow (Scotland) Herald says that
Prof. B. D. Rogers—formerly State geologist
of Pennsylvania, but now professor of natural
science in the Glasgow University—delivered
a lecture before the Geographical Society of
that city on the 26th of February, on "Coal,
its Distribution, Power and Product."
There are three chief peculiarities observa
ble in every seam of coal. First, An invaria
ble stratum of fire-clay—the fire-olay of the
Scottieh fields—which evidently served as a
bed for the note of trees, and for the over
lying profuse matter of coal vegetation. Sec
ond, The vegetation itself, often accumulated
in immense thickness, compressed, macerated.
and, in its upper portion, stratified and laid
even by the action of the water. Third, The
overlying shale or roof of the coal seam, con
taining, in the soft mud or fine sand cf which
it has been composed, beautiful impressions pf
ferns and other plants of the carboniferous
• age. Another unfailing characteristic of coal
,seams is their uniform stratification, especi
ally in the upper layers, showing conclusively
that the seams have been subjected to the lev
eling action of water in the vast bays and la
goons in which the vegetable mass first grew
and then subsided. In one instance, that of
the American coal fields, this mark of uniform
stratification extends over an area Of 14,000
square miles, thus showing that the physical
geography of the period when the coal was
formed must have been of a character and
upon a scale of which we can now form but a
limited eonseption.
There are different qualities of coal—an
thracite, or compressed coke, sem -bituminous
and bituminous —in one great coal field in
Pennsylvania.' Subterranean heat acting in
one part upon a vast scale distilled the bitu
minous matter from coal that was once bitu
minous, and, at the centre of greatest heat,
anthracite was produced. Gradually, from
this centre of heat, coal war obtained, varying
from anthracite to qualities containing twenty
per cent. to thirty per cent. of bituminous
matter, and so on to the unaltered coal con
taining its full proportion of bitumen. Prof.
Rogers attributes the petroleum of the oil wells
to the distillation of the bituminous coal. lie
stated that "the subterranean heat which con
verted the bituminous into anthracite coal had
she effect of distilling from that coal the rock
oil or petroleum of commerce, which, creeping
into the •fisSuret3 of the strata and impregna
ting the perms sandstones, remained collec
ted, as it - were, in vas; underground tanks for
the use of the present generation." The the
ory of Professor Rogers respecting the sources
of American petroleum is different from that of
most geologists.
With respect to the power of coal in effect
ing mechanical work by combustion, when
applied to operate an engine through steam
pressure. one pound is equal to the full day's
work of a man, and three tons of coal is equal
'to the work of a man for twenty years—almost
his entire working life !•The productive power
of a nation is in direct ratio to the coal at its
command. The area of the coal fields in Great
Britain is 8,139 square miles of bituminous
coal, and 3,72 0 square miles of anthracite in
Great Britain and Ireland. In France the coal
area is, 1,719 square miles of inferior 00al ;
Belgolm, 518 square miles; Prussia, 500 square
miles ; Spain, 3,408 square miles, and Russia
scarcely 100 square miles. The British coal
fields are able to sustain the national prosper
ity for ages to come. Bat the American coal
fields embrace an area of no less than 200,000
square miles—about twenty times greater than
those of all Europe! " How cheering for the
future," said Professor Rogers, "must be the
prospect as it regards the material prosperity
and industrial development of those vast coal
regions of America, which, in the course of
Providence, must be intended to bestow
happiness and comfort upon untold millions of
that comparatively virgin country !"
Gus.—We witnessed a trial of the
shoot-around a corner gun on iriday afternoon,
and cannot pronounce it a humbug by any
means.- We do not fall in with the sanguine
expectations of the inventor, but are ready to
believe, where belief is strengthened by ocu
lar demonstration, that is an invention which
will yet, with proper application, become emi
nently useful, whatever be its destructive qual
ities.
Our readers will imagine a diminutive mortar,
unlike the mere breech of a cannon, about a
foot long and nine inches in 'diameter. This
"chunk" is hung upon an axis, the muzzle
pointing perpendicularly in the air. The size
of the bore is three inches, and the depth about
eight. It carries a four-pound ball, and ro
quires about three ounces of powdea to propel
it. An iron ring is embedded in the ball.
To this ring is attached an iron link, to
which, again, is attached a small cord, about
the size of a common clothes' line.
To the further end of the cord is attached
an anchor or grapnel. The modes operandi of
firing is as follows: The mortar is loaded,
the ball barely going below the surface of the
muzzle. The target is set up and the grapnel
is cast precisely half way between the mortar
and the target. Now, observe, the cord is
tightened, one end of it is fastened to the grap
nel and the other to the link in the ball.—
The mortar is fired perpendicularly in the
air. As a matter of course, the ball cannot
fly out of the circle prescribed by the length
of the cord, and as certain as fate, therefore,
it descends upon the target. In the experi
ments yesterday, the target was a small sec
tion of three eighths boiler plate,the ball break
big it at every shot.
The great success of the invention depends
entirely upon the question as to whether fifty
or one hundred pound balls can be controlled
min directed in like manner. If they can,
then good bye to monitors, turrets and rants.
With two or three one hundred pound mor
tars upon the stern of a gunboat, and the
grapnel fastened at the bow, such a storm of
shot or shell could be poured perpendicularly
upon an enemy's deck, beside which, in point
of destructiveness, a thunderbolt would be less
certain and terrible.—Chicago Journal.
OLD AND NSW STYLE.—The terms " old
style" and " new style" may be thus ex
plained! The old Julian Calendar assumed 865
1-4 days to constitute a year. The year really
contains 865 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and fif
ty seconds. Thus the calendar went astray 11
Militate an ten seconds every year, and by
A. D. 1582 the error amounted to ten whole
days. To correct this error, Pope Gregery
ordained that ten days could be deduct
ed from the year 1852, by caning what, accord
ing to the old calendar, would have been the
sth of October, the 15th of October. $0404,
the sth of October,"old style," was, in 1852,
the 15th of October, "new style." It was not
till 1752 that Great Britian accepted this cor
rection, and by that time the error amounted
to eleven. daya. It was then ordained that
eleven days should be omitted after the 2nd of
September, 1751, and the next day called the
14th of September, 1751.

This new and excellent article excels everything ever
before in use, for beautifying and softening the Leather.
It makes a polish like patent leather ; will not rub off
with water, nor stain the finest white silk, and makes
the leather perfectly water-proof. Twice a month ap
plied on boots and shoes, and once a month for harness
is sufficient. If the leather becomes dirty, wash it off
with clean water and the polish will re-appear. War
ranted as represented.
DIRMOTIONS FOR DBE.—Apply a few drops on a
sponge, rub it Slowly over the leather, and the polish is
complete. Price, 87X cents per bottle.
