COAL, THE GREAT ELEMENT OF FUTURE WEALTH.


In the valleys of the Tuscarawas and Muskingum are the main coal-fields of Ohio. In Tuscarawas County, the State geologists estimate, at a rough calculation, all the workable coal to average 6 feet in thickness over 550 square miles, which, at 6,000,000 tons per mile, gives for 550 square miles, by measurement, 3,300,000,000 tons of coal, which of itself would last the people of Ohio several cen- turies-as per calculation of Geologist Briggs. Multiply this quantity by each county in the coal area, and it will be safe to say that a hundred centuries can not exhaust the coal-fields of the valleys.


THE FORMATION OF COAL.


The modern geologists' theory is that the materials which were comprised in the formation of coal seams were washed into vast basins by the action of water, which at certain periods would rise to a level with the surface of the land. These sediments, it is claimed, were originally gathered from the land by the constantly changing waters, and sub- sequently distributed in the basins which were low enough to be reached by the waves and tides of the sea.


The plants which entered principally into the formation of coal were for the most part ferns, for in nearly all coal is found fossils of this plant. Fossils of trees, fishes, mol- lusks, and corals, also, are found in coal, showing conclu- sively that the natural products of the land and the living things of the sea, together, enter mainly into the compo- sition of coal.


It is conjectured that at the time the highest coal seam was formed a permanent change affected the topography of our land. This change was the elevation of the high


285


mountain ranges and the draining of the major portion of what is now land. The length of time occupied in pro- ducing all the changes on the surface by which the coal seams were formed is 'entirely incomprehensible to man, and must have continued through countless ages.


In this connection it is well to notice the mountain forma- tions, and the glacial period. The periods subsequent to the carboniferous, or coal period, as known in geology are, per- mian, triassic, jurassic, cretaceous, tertiary, quarternary, and human. Of these, from the carboniferous to the quarter- nary, all are wanting in this part of our continent. The most lucid explanation of this great break in the regular formations yet given, is that at the close of the coal period a vast expanse of our continent was raised far above the seas, and from that time the formations were continued only on the water margins, and these have changed from time to time, which will account for the presence of certain deposits in some portions of the continent which are a blank in others. During the progress of this great upheaval of land, much more powerful forces were expended in various localities and along certain lines, which resulted in forming higher elevations, and these, from contact with the ice dur- ing the glacial period, were reduced to our present moun- taiu and hill ranges. The forces that culminated in these elevations, stupendous as they must have been, have only been ascribed to some extraordinary volcanic action, or some unaccountable slowly acting but resistless power within the earth.


Succeeding the period which changed the level of this once great plain into hills and valleys, was what is termed the drift period, during which oceans and mountains of ice came down from the north, traces of which are found as far south as Cincinnati. In their course the glaciers plowed down the sides of mountains and hills, dug out the basins of the great lakes, and in breaking up dropped the great bowlders which were frozen in them in the north, and which are found wholly exposed upon the hills and in the valleys


286


at the present day. This period was followed by the sub- mergence of the present lower hills and plains. This in turn was changed by the depression of the island seas, and the gradual drainage caused the alluvial deposits found in all the present valleys. As the waters receded the flow was reduced to lower lands where channels were formed, which, by the long-continued action of the waters, were worn out to great depths, and these channels were again filled up many hundreds of feet by the ebbing and flowing of the waters, until the beds of the streams became elevated above the reach of the tides. Subsequent slight changes have occurred, but they are so well known that their mention is not required in this article.


THE SCRIPTURE NARRATIVES NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE GEOLOGICAL AGE OF THE COAL FORM- ATION.


As regards the coming and going of the different seas over the localities in which coal has been formed from their sediments, and the time required to produce coal, being claimed by some writers to be in conflict with the scriptural account of the Mosaic deluge, Dr. Kitto, the great biblical cyclopedian, after discussing the subject, arrives at this conclusion : "There is no limit to Omnipotence, and one miracle is not greater than another. If we suppose the flood to have been miraculously produced, and all the diffi- culties thus overcome, we can also suppose that it was not only miraculously terminated, but every trace and mark of it supernaturally effaced and destroyed."


Professor Lyell, the most eminent geologist of the present age, harmonizes the seeming contradiction between the natural laws governing the structure of the world and the scriptural account of the Noachian deluge, thus : "If we believe the flood to have been a temporary suspension of


287


the ordinary laws of the natural world, requiring a mirac- ulous intervention of Divine power, then it is evident that the credibility of such an event can not be enhanced by any series of inundations, however analogous, of which the geologist may imagine he has discovered the proofs. For my own part, I have always considered the flood as a pre- ternatural event, far beyond the reach of philosophical in- quiry, whether as to the cause employed to produce it, or the effects most likely to result from it."


The Christian believer in the Bible narratives has no contradictions to reconcile between them and geology.

NEWSPAPERS IN THE VALLEYS.


The rise and progress of the public press in the two valleys, as herewith subjoined, is as nearly correct as the same can be given. The newspaper, having become the most potent intellectual engine in the world, to sway the public mind, the historian fails in his duty as compiler of events unless his report of the public press goes side by side with the statistics of population and physical and mental development.


Coshocton County Press .- At Coshocton, the Age, republi- can in politics, founded in 1824, edited by W. T. Collier, and circulation about 1,200; the Democrat, democratie in politics, founded in 1840, edited by J. C. Fisher, and circu- lation about 1,000.


Morgan. County Press .- At McConnellsville, the Herald, republican in politics, founded in 1842, edited by Kahler & Foulke, and circulation about 1,300; the Democrat, dem- ocratie in politics, founded in 1871, edited by F. A. Davis, and circulation about 800.
