"I have gone into it pretty considerably, sir," said Father Payne, "The one thing that does interest me is human admixtures.

On this supposition it is easy to account for the absence of foreign admixtures of sand, mud, and clay in the coal; and we can also understand very much better than by the aid of the drift theory how the coal had accumulated with such wonderful uniformity of thickness over such very large areas.
