The coal fire in the grate sparkled aud crackeled and sent its sharp-poiot ed flames up through the dark mass, giving even the smoke a lurid hue. We all sat gazing into the fire, mak ing fancies and thinking our own thoughts, whe'l Uncle John interrupt ed tlio silence by saying: "And so, at last, this coal fulfills its mission." "What do you mean, uncle?" inter rupted Julia, who sat on her low stool, leaning her face on Undo John's knee, and smoothing the tabby cat's pretty fur. "Why, I mean that after so many long years, this coal has at last become an agent for tho use and comfort of man. Perhaps you do not know how coal is formed ?" We all drew our chairs noaror, as Julia exclaimed, "do tell us ?" "Well," began Uncle John, stroking his long white beard, "many thousand years ago, in fact, more years than any of you can count oven in a whole lifo time, there grow a vast forest. There were no North AND South American continents, nor EMI an Eastern or Western World. An exceedingly small portion of tho globe was land, the rest was a wide sea. In many places the ocean was shallow, and as years went by the sand and drift mat ter filled up the shallow places, until thoy BECAME groat swamps. In these swamps grow great forests. The great amount of carbonic acid gas that mingled with the air, and tho high degree of warmth, along with tho constant moisture, caused those forests to grow very rapidly. The pine tree grew to immense size; ferns grew as high as trees; and a sort of cltib moss, that in our forests never grows over three feet high, in those forests grow eighty and ninety feet high. Along tho damp warm valley of tho Amazon, in South America and the tropics, grow our richest and most pro fuse vegetation, but oven that is noth ing compared to tho ancient forests that grew from the swamp*. I n these forests the trees and vegeta tion grew so rapidly thai they crowded upon each other. Hoing too much crowded, too much of T!.« vegetation died as rapidly as it hid grown. Thus year after year, the old forest died down, and about it grew tho new, un til one forest was piled upon another. After thousands of years, gradually, tho whole surface of the land began to sink, until tho sea once more flowed over tho places where forests had grown. A nil again, after more thousands of years, tho drift mutter and sand filled up tho shallow places, ami other forests grow in new swamps. Asyoars went by, they too, were submerged in tho sea. This continued for numberless years. Between each layer of decayed forests, there was a layer of sand aud mud, and shells ami drift matter that finally hardened into rock, forming tho lime stone or sandstone that is found in our coal mines. Miners can tell just how many times the coal-beds have been submerged by the number of layers of sandstone or of limestone. Most of tho trees of that ancient forest were pine trees. I'ine contains tar and pitch and a great deal of rcsinouft matter. Coal also contains tar aud pitch and rosin, which is received from the decayed Coal is pure carbon, and is black i because carbon is black. All plants I contuin a frreat deal of carbouic acid. ! When plants breathe or decay they 'give off large quantities of carbonic acid gas. hence this carbon became a port of the coal. The constant pressure above, and the water, caused this decaying vegeta tion to tuke first the form of peat. Peat is a soft, spongy sort of coal aud is much used by the poor yeo many of England and Ireland (or their fires. After the peat has lain many thou sand years under great pressure and deeply buried in the dark bosom of tho earth, it gradually and slowly hardens into the coal we use in our grate. Sometimes, in splitting open a block of coal you can plainly see the impress of !>eautifui and perfectly formed leaves; branches, twigs aud vines. Our coal is really, then, nothing but a decayed forest. It has only been within the last few years that coal has come into extensive use in Europe and the United States Not until the forests were fast disappearing did coal come iuto de mand, and yet it has been stored away in measureless abundance generations before we were born." We were all gazing ini,o the blazing fire that burned so brighly as to pain the eyes. Julia said it sceuied to be trying to make as much light as possi ble, in order to make up for having been so long in the dark.— N. Y. Tri bune. A Couple. A couple left the train at the Union depot and walked up Jefferson avenue yesterday She had long curls and a pink dress and a yellow sash, and ho had a standing collar sawing his ears off, a buttonhole boquet and a pair of new boots freshly greased and ono size too small. They hadn't walked two blocks when they came to a man sitting on a box in front of a store, and as he caught sight of them a grin crept over his face like molasses spreading out on a shingle. 'Griuoing at us I 'epose ?' queried [ tbe young man, as be came to a halt. 'Yes,' frankly replied the sitter. 'Tickles you most to death to see us take hold of hands, don't it?' 'lt does.' 'And you imagine you can see us feeding each other caramels, can't you?' 'I can.' 'And you shako all over at the way we gawk around and keep our mouths open ?' 'That's me.' 'Well, this i« me! I'm not purty, and I haven't been cultivated between th • rows, nor billed up nor fertilized. I an't what you call stall-fed, and tbe old man looks twenty per cent worse than I do but it won't take me over a minute to jam you seven feet into tbo ground I I told Lucy I was going to Login on the first man who looked cross-eyed at us, and you are the chap. Prepare to be pulverized I' 'Beg pardon, but I didn't mean- -!' 'Yes, you did ! Lucy, hold my hat while I mop htm V 'Say —hold on !' He took up the middle of the street lik: a runaway horse, and the young man took after him, but it was no use. A fter a race of a block tbo man who grinned gained so fast that tbe other stopped short and went back to his girl and his hat. Stretching forth his hand to the innocent maiden, he re marked. 'Lucy, clasp on to that, and if you let go for tbe next two hours, even to wipe your nose, I'll never call you by the sacred name of wife !'— Detroit Free Ptess. Ntniiilurd Time, Representative Belmont, to whom was rt ferred the joint resolution recent ly introduced by Mr. Flower, of New York, authorizing the President to call an international conference to fix a common prime meridian for the regu lation of time throughout the worlo, submitted a report to the full commit tee, in which be says that there is at present no common and accepted standard for the computation of timo for other than astronomical purposes; that in the absence of such an agree ment serions embarrassment is felt in tho ordinary aflairs of modern com merce, especially Bince the wide-spread extension of tolograpic communication and railway transportation: that navi gators, geographers, and all who have occasion to use charts or maps are put to tho groatest inconvenience; that an international agreement on the subject is demanded more imperatively every day, both by science and trade ; that tho United States Government haß adopted the Greenwich meridian for nautical purposes by tbe establishment of tbe Metooro'ogical Bureau; that a signal service system, with postal and otner stations, extending over nearly four years of solar time in North America, has alreudy compelled the adoption of the standard timo of 7.35 A. M. at Washington as tho moment for making telegraphic r©i>orts from all stations, and that tho observations on our naval vessels are made at the same hour of Washington timo. The same report concludes as fol lows; "The propositions embodied in the resolution have been discussed In this country and in Europe by various commercial and scientific societies, ond the necessity for an international con vention generally conceded. At the recent meetings in Bologne and Venice the idea of holding such a convention in Washington was very much favored. It is obvious that the United States, having the greatest extent of continu ous longitudinal area of any couutry traversed by railway, postul and tele graph lines, should take the initiative in a movement so important to science and the world's commerce." The report wus unanimously adopt ed by the committee, and Mr. Belmont was directed to submit it to the House at the first opportunity.
