imal life had scarce commenced we see this earth of ours ever enveloped dense clouds of warm humid va pours altogether impenetrable to the direct rays of But though long ages were to elapse before even those earliest of land animals gi gantic reptiles and monstrous were to roam over those swamps and still longer were to run their course ani mal life was to take their place yet that distant period in the earths history though remote for man in this present fay has proved to be a period of most vital import For then broad tracks of the warm recking earth were thickly covered with vast forests of lofty trees and gigantic mosses which dur ing all these long ages succeeded each other in interminable sequence for ests springing up upon the ruins of forests beautiful glades and woods ever uprising ever in wildest luxuri ance generation after generation flourishing upon the wreck of their fallen predecessors And then comes a tremendous cataclysm an irruption of the great ocean sweeps over these ancient forests and overwhelms them in a mighty deluge hermetically seal ing them up with ponderous volumes of sand and stones so that no de cay could ever touch those bounteous stores of precious fuel which cover ed ever deeper and deeper by succeed ing strata all through the aeons have been maturing for our use who now in these latest times understand its priceless value Those desirous of a new sensation should descend a deep coal mine and see for themselves brave miners at work Stepping on to a wooden platform a few feet square the word is given by the accompany ing
