IT was many years ago estimated
that the coal mines in England would
be exhausted in 200 years, but the in
crease of consumption since that time
and the great increase Of expense in
working at greater depth is likely to
close the mines in half that time. The
mines of this country will only just
get fairly developed by that time.
The coal mines of Pennsylvania, that
have been worked the most are rated
to hold out for 600 years.

The territorial center of the
United States, exclusive of Alaska, is
at Abilene, in Kansas, near the inter-
section of the 39th parallel with the
9th meridian. 1t is a singular fact
that the center of population in this
country has always been on or near
this parallel. 1t is now about eight
miles from Cincinnati. It seems des-
tined to follow this line till the whole
country is uniformly settled.
