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.
As a rule, n man's Insignificance Is
in exact proportion to' tho Importance
of his. telephone voice.
SAY "BAYER" when you buy. Insist!
Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" on tablets, you are
not getting the genuine Bayer product prescribed by
physicians over 23 years and proved safe by millions for
Accept only "Bayer" package which contains proper directions.

PLAN TO CONTROL WEATHER
Scheme Has Been the Dream of Many
Scientists, but Nothing Practical
Has Been Evolved.
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.
