well there if the tile advantages claimed for this piping be eor correct it is probable they will be I 1 adopted for tre tte the city water works one thing in favor of it is that it can be manufactured manufacture dat at home I 1 ABOUTCOAL article from the pen of professor Pio fessor barfoot I 1 on the origin and indications of the lielle existence of or coal deposits will probably prove interesting to some of our reader readers sj just now in view of the efforts being made for the discovery of the carbonaceous material in the neighborhood of this acty there is no difference of opinion among scientists as to the tiie origin of coal all are agreed that it is vegetable matter whatever may have been the mode of deposit valiere ever coal isfound there are traces more or less distinct of vegetable structure and decomposition ol 01 organic matter by the presence of sulphide even in the and other rocks with which coalis there aro are always indications of vegetation voge tation or fossils characteristic of the tile coal formation coal itself is recognizable by its vegetable structure which is never completely obliterated even in anthracite the eye will generally and the microscope will always detect it bituminous coal also shows its origin by its fracture and in parts by its appearance lignite the variety ofcoal found in our rocky mountain ranges as its name implies is wood coal sometimes brown coal so closely resembles wood that it only appears to be charred however closely any rock may resemble coal if it is wanting in these characteristics and the adjoining 0 strata are without those indications i cat ionslons the prospects for nin fin findan finding din coal are very slight it is true that coal strata may be adjacent to or even a continuation of the same bed in which these unpromising conditions obtain but if upon examination of the surrounding country the whole of these evidences are wanting protracted labor is likely to end in disappointment applin ament the strongest evidences in favor of coal deposits and those that should be expected is the presence more or less frequently of seams of coal these may not be an inch thick and pinch out again and be come thin as a wafer but they will burn whenever such are found it is almost certain that the true coal formation is reached but on the other hand when many cubic ya yards a of material are moved and thock the rock preserves its homogeneity without any portion of coal being found it is a pretty sure indication di that the rock is merely colored by carboncarbonaceous accous matter cl whenever vegetation decomposes in in the open air or where air has access to it all the carbon of the wood enters into gaseous combinations and ppasses uses otranto off into tile the atmosphere only traces remaining to give color to the soilsoll tons of leaves leaves fall every year that are thus disposed of unless they happen to fall into marshymarsby places and get covered upby water so as to exclude the air when decomposition ia Is less complete a peat like mass may be thus formed which by being buried up beneath masses of rock and thus excluded from access of lir air air may become consolidated sons BO as in time timo to present appearances and under iander favorable circumstances posses tho the properties ofcoal FROM SATURDAYS DAILY OCT IS 18 IN TOWN mayor mayon ita

she was well known for herbar firm attachment to the principles of the gospel never having been known so far as we are aware to havo have faltered in her faithfalth therein since her baptism her faculties were clearalmost up to the time when her spirit was call ed to take its flight from its earthly tenement the visions dofher of her mind were opened and she was filled with pleasure and

jose joseph daynes the tabernacle organist Is quite an inventive genius his last production ro in this line is a printing ftp ng machine which is worked by means of two tre adles the tho action of one of which causes the roller to pass over the ink plate and makes the tile latter partially revolve and that of the other accomplishes the printing by a simple arrangement when a card is printed it falls into a box instead of or having to be lifted by the feeder as is the case with machines generally although the frame work is constructed of rough wood it works work admirably THE OATMEAL QUESTION A short article which appeared in the NEWS not long since on the subject of manufacturing oatmeal in utah has created no small stir among the lovers of hasty porridge oras the Scot scotchman ehman ohman would call par ritch with whom this territory abounds and several parties have called at this office since and ventured their ideas concerning the manufacture of this article we understand there Is a gentleman in one of tho the settlements a short distance north of this city who is seriously considering about going into the business A lady a called this morning and informed us that her husband charles cow- ley a manxman was ready to undertake the manufacture of oatmeal and pearl barley for anybody who would employ himin that line he has been a miller the most part of his his life although now living on his farm arm at city william thornton 0 of smithfield Smith Snaith fiel nield fieldd called some time ago and occupied about fifteen minutes in getting off ou a eulogy on the excellencies of oatmeal but encomiums are not in demand A proper kiln and other apparatus are what are wanted and after the article is produced william can show his appreciation not in words but in deedeeds ds with a well filled basin before him and a horn spoon in his handband before the manufacture of oatmeal is commenced hereabout however it might be well to test whether a sweet article can be produced from hame grown oats or not provo Sno SHOOTING oTiNa affair bishop john stoker of bountiful who is related fd to mn mr alfred bowen of provo called this morning he has been onou a visit to the latter place having left thereat there thero at hairhalf past nive five this morning he informs us that dr anderson reached provo at half past seven last even eveni log tg he could not tell then

respected our informant also states that carter who is still at large had threatened mr lifeilfe some time previous to shooting dimand him and that mr rowen bowen an had arrived from springville Spring ville only a short time before the affair happened hearing that carter arld and some other ot her roughs boughs were raising a disturbance and being chief of police he went to ascertain the state of affairs on his arriving at the place where carter and sev- eralothers were the latter swung his pistol around fired it off into the ground and with a coalso oath swore that no man would arrest liim him mr bowen stepped forward to secure him when carter deliberately 2 shot him in the temple from fifteen to twenty men were around the locality at the time yet strange to say the villain escaped yesterday we endeavored to get by telegraph a description of carter that its publication might aid in lis his his detection and capture but it has not been received yet it at appears to have been an oversight that a description was not sent to this city and published immediately after the shooting that the tile people poop le all over the territory might have been on the lookout for the desperado mr bowen appeared to be considerably sider ably easier euler than ho he had been when bishop stoker left prove provo morning FROM MONDAYS DAILY dally OCT 20 MEETINGS the congregation gre
