A Possible Solution of One of the Mysteries of Science. cite and bituminous coal is that the former is devoid of volatile matter. Heretofore the theory generally accepted to account for this difference was that presented half a century igo by Professor Rodgers while conducting the first geoligical survey of Pennsylvania’ Observing that the anthracite beds lay in the eastern part of the state in close proximity to the Archean axis of elevation, he surmised that these coal beds had, so to speak; been ‘‘coked” upon the elevation of the Appalachian chain—that is, he supposed that the heat_and pressure accompanying the Appalachian elevation, acting most vigorously near. the. axis, had distilled and removed the volatilematter of the coal bed nearest it. ~~ To adjust the theory. of increasing facts, Professor Lesley, added the supposition that the heat. involved in this theory was branght up by conduction when thsuperincumbent layers of rock were extremely thick, which have since been mainly removed by the erosive “agencies which have been active over the region for millions of years; The inadequacy of these theories has led Professor J. J. Stevenson of tho University of New York to propound another and simpler theory, which was ably defended by him at the recent meeting of the Geological Society of America, . ~ He would acconnt for the lack of vola= tile matter in anthracite coal by the sim-. ple fact that it had been longer exposed to that kind of decay which takes place in vegetable matter when, immersed in water, and which consists Ghiefly in the loss of. the hydrocarbons which constitute the volatile elements ‘in bituminous coal. On this supposition the anthracite beds are those which were formed earliest in the swamps and lagoons of the carboniferous period and remained longest devoid of the covering of sedimentary deposits, which subsequently preserved them from further chanye,. This theory is confirmed by the fact that there is no such strict relation of the anthracite beds to the Appalachian axis of elevation as Professor Rodgers had sup and by many other considerations which Professor Stevenson is about to publish, This‘simple cause seems adequate to account for all the phenomena and_probably solves one of the long standing mystories of geological science,-Independent. Ancient Child Burial, There was an order in thé Church of England up to the year 1552, that if a child died within a month of baptism he should be buried in his chrisom in lieu of ashroud, The chrisom was a white . _ baptismal robe with which in mediaeval times achild when christened was enveloped, A sixteenth century brass in Chesham Bois church in Buckinghamshire represents Benedict Lee, chrisom child, in his chrisom cloth, The inscription underneath the figure stands thus: Of Rogr.

A Burning Chimney, The fire alarm at 11:30 this forenoon was occasioned by the burning of the chimney at Mrs, Perry’s restaurant, on Pine. street. It was not deemed necessary to turn on the water, and the hose companies’ returned to their houses with-the apparatus. —A bucket of water was thrown into the ¢himney-and it was thought the fire would smoulder awhile and go out. At noon Mrs. Perry noticed that the fire had started up again with renewed vigor and that the wall paper on one-side of the chimney had commenced to burn. She gave a still alarm to members of thg FireDepartment who happened to be near by.-A-couple of -hand-.grenades, were broken-in—the chimney, through the only a momentary effect on the fire and it was found necessary to goon the roof and pour several buckets of water down the chimney. This had the desired effect. The chimney in question has been on fire several times before. It was badly clogged with hardened soot, which burned like that much coal, The flue should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected, as in its present condition it isextremely dangerous, ”— Wheatland Wants a Stice. At a meeting of the citizens of Wheatland held at the Farmer’s Bank the following resolution was adopted and. sent to Washington, according to the Four Corners: Resolved, That we would respectfully ask our Honorable body to appropriate the sum of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), to be expended immediately, or so much thereof ‘. as may be necessary under the direction of competent engineers, for the rectification. of the channel of Bear river from this point to its intersection with Feather river. ee The Weather Outlook.

That Is the Depth of the Beautifu at Graniteville. ane Yesterday and the day before considerable snow fell in the ‘mountains above. A snowstorm in the higher altitudes is quite different from what it is in this locality. The snow falls faster and continues longer, it being a common occurrence td have three or four feet of it without any iptermission. All roads and trails are almost: obliterated and none but these-who-arethoroughly familiar_ with the lay of the country are ~ At the present time the snow on the-ridge: from the Backbone House to Graniteville is from four to six feet deep, mostly new snow. Notwithstanding this fact the Eureka Express Company yesterday succeeded in getting a four-horse sleigh through from Graniteville to Bloomfield, but it was a trying experience for the men and horses, and it was decided not to make any more trips till the storm is over and the snow becomes packed. ~ Until such time the mails will be carried to and from Moore's Flat and Graniteville on snowshoes. If the parties in Kentucky who got the contract to carry the mail between Nevada City and Graniteville this year were here to see what a job it is they would very quickly realize what a serious mistake they made in putting in their bid so low. The stage and sleigh can make the trip to. Bleomfield all right. In the kitchen at Ellison's hotel at Graniteville yesterday it was necessary to keep lamps burning all day to furnish light, the snow from the roof being banked up high above the windows in that part of the building.
