✦ Synopsis

Swiss Coal.--Switzerland has hitherto been obliged to import all its coal, but a bed has been lately discovered at Sonnenberg, near Luzerne. It is in the oldest tertiary, and contains two veins of abota 3000 metres (1"864 miles) in length. It is of excellent quality, and the beds are thick enough to be favorably worked, averaging about 1 metre (39"37 inches). Four galleries have been openc<l already, and a fifth is under way.--Le.~ :?vIo~ules.
