COAL OF VEGETABLE ORIGIN Abyndant Proof That Huge Forests, In Former Epochs of the Earth, Became Petrified. Although In most Instances there are comparatively few traces of Its vegetable origin left, coal owes Its ex istence to the vnst masses of vegeta ble matter deposited through tho lux uriant growth of plants In former epochs of the earth's history, and since slowly converted Into u petrified state. Coal fields today present abundant Indications of tho existence of huge ancient forests, usually in tho form of coal formed from the roots of trees. Several such forests have been uncov ered, one of which in Nova Scotia Is a good example. Remains, of trees have been found there, six to eight feet in height nnd four feet In diam eter. In a colliery In Englund, In a space of about one-quarter of an acre, there havo been found the fossilized stumps of 73 trees, with roots at tached, and broken-off trunks lying about, one of them SO feet long, and all of them -turned Into coal. A Foreign City. A friend, who spent several months In the Knst, says the thing that im pressed him most about New York is that it is a foreign city. The municipal, signs are-printed in English, Italian and Yiddish.. You hear more foreign languago than Eng Ush In the subway, and everywhere foreign language newspapers are seen, In lurge sections of the city you do not see nn American, or hear English spoken.

Three or four years ago a Sheffield (Eng.) worklngmnn claimed to be put ting the finishing touches to nn Instru ment to enable him "to focus beams of ether oscillation" and so control tho weather. Unfortunately, tho Instru ment could -not have been so perfect ns he thought, for nothing further hns' been heard of It. Before that a Leeds scientist had come to tho conclusion that It was "within the scope of hu mun possibility to prevent disastrous cyclones, hurricanes nnd storjns, nnd even to Improve permanently the wenther of the British Isles." The Idea wus the production of an Instru ment enabling the operator to collect or dissemble the molecules which form tho utmosphere, securing the degree of density desired und so arranging the best weather required for any dis trict or seasonal occupation. More than twelve years ago Sir Oliver Lodge demonstrated that fog could bo dis pelled by electricity, though the process was too costly for adoption generally. Work Without Proper Aim. I respect the man who knows dis tinctly what ho wishes. The greater part of all the mischief in the world arises from the fact that men uo not sutliclently understand their own alms. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to build a hut. Ooethe. A lot of men who think they aro broad-minded are simply too shallow minded to afford anchorage for an opinion. Colds Toothache Neuritis Headache Rheumatism Lumbago Neuralgia Pain, Pain
