The money-order system has been largely extended abroad by new connections with foreign governments, but aside from this, it is rapidly growing in the United States. It is a somewhat surprising fact that money orders are used to a considerable extent for the transmission of money even between cities where banking faculties are plenty. Congress will probably be asked for an increase of the clerical force of the division to meet t lie growing demands of the system. yL We have thought the matter over a good deal and now will venture to announce that the News office will he supplied with anew cylinder press, in the near future.

The Formation of Coal. * —o — All attempts to explain satisfactorily the formation of coal have thus fatproved unsuccessful, though it is generally understood that it is the product of the decomposition of vegetable matter. Just how that decomposition has been brought About chemically is a matter which chemists have not as yet been able to solve. The principal difficuly has been that it has been impossible to obtain a clear insight into the chemical constitution of coal. It has been thought hitherto, and this is still the popularbelief, that coal is in the main pure carbon, mixed with varying quantities of bituminous substancos. It has ' been generally believed that, as the product of the distillation of the coal is principally carbon, it would be safe to conclude that free oarbon actually exists in coal. The fact that sugar, starch, etc., under similar cireumstances, leaves a residuum consisting of carbon has never been considered a proof that that element existed in these bodies in a free state. It is well known that coal which may have the same percentage of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen do not by any means- in coking, yield the same products of distillation, ami we itave a comjjtete analagy for this in the behavior of cellulose and starch when subjected to distillation. Evidence points

to the conclusion that coal is a mixture of many any complex compounds: and the difficulty, amounting almost to an impossibility, of seperating these compounds has much to do in rendering a chemical solution of the question involved in the formation of 'eoal a very arduous task. The production of coal bv artificial means is met by great obstacles, among which the absence of ail knowledge concerning the conditions under which that process actually took place is the principal one. The question whether the vegetable matter to which our coal veins owe their origin was amassed by drifting or was carbonized in situ, has been debated ,and there has been much discussion on the point whether it was obtained from water or from land plants. Dr. Muck, of Bochum, in a recent work to which we shall refer at greater length in the future, takes up the theory that algae have mainly contributed to the formation of coal. It is urged that the remains of marine plants are rarely found in coal veins, and that shells, etc., are not often met with. Dr. Muck calls attention to the fact that marine plants decompose easily and completely, losing their form entirely; and that the disappearance oPthe calcareous Remains of mollusks is readily explained by the formation of large quantities of carbonic acid gas during the process of carbonization. In accepting the marine origin of coal it is not necessary to resort to the assumption of immense pressure and high temperatures to explain decomposition and the total destruction of the structure of the original substance Dr. Muck combats Fremy’s bog theory at length. His views are well supported by recent investigations made bv Herr P. F- Reinsah, who has examined 1,200 .sections of coal, comihg to the conclusion that that mnieral substance has not been formed by the alteration of accumulated plants. Herr Reinsch claims to hava discovered that coal consists of microscopial organic forms of a low order of protoplasm; and though he carefully examined the cells and other remains of plants of a higher order he computed tnat they have contributed only a fraction of the matter of the coal veins, however numerous they may be in some instances.
