covery. died in its faith and finally rose
again in the shape OF enormous reli-
gious, spiritual and social results.
The distance between the natural

tain John Smith was considerable, bat it
was hardly more than the distance be-
tween the natural morality" of a timber

natural morality" or natural religion"
man knew no more in the heroic age OF
Greece than the anthropoid ape that science
has selected as his remote ancestor. The
average Greek lover was like Paris, SEN
sual adventure; the average Greek hero
of Homer's muse opened his dead enemy's
head and devoured his brains just as Rain
in-the-Face was said to have eaten the
heart Of Tom Custer.
Spiritual genius lit up the path Of prog
ress at long intervals, just as military
genius, like that of Alexander, appeared
TO teach men that there was something
better in war than the natural method Of
warfare, biting and scratching like wild
beasts. From China to Greece rose a light
Of Asia, Confucius, Zoroaster, Gautama,
Brahma. Socrates, Christ, a procession of
spiritual thinkers and teachers; some see
ing and expounding far more truth than
others, but no one pleading for "a natural
morality" or "a natural religion" for
they all knew that neither morality nor re-
fgion was the gift Of nature to man any
more than TO the animal, whose tested,
conscious might is its only conscious
right.
Morality is the evolution of our highest
experience, and religion is the evolution
of our highest thought Men who want
the world reduced down to scheme of
natural" rather than Christian morality,
forgetting that there never was any origi-
nal natural morality beyond the rule of
might that takes all it can get in world
where lust and murder and theft are
supreme with the savage, are about as
absurd and out of date with our day as the
religious sect satirized by the great Rus
sian novelist Tourgenef. This sect, he
said, consisted OF but two persons, one Of
whom was the object of worship and the
other the worshiper. They were intensely
serious, but it was very handy for each.

The coal production OF the United States

The coal production OF the United States
is reaching enormous figures, amounting
last year to li0. 600 900 tons, or over two tons
for every man, woman and child in the
country. The coal area of this country is
estimated at 192, 900 square miles, OF which
10000 square miles can be proitably
worked at present. Our coal area is over
three times larger than that of the rest of
the world combined. 1t is said that West
Virginia alone contains more coal than all
the English mines combined, which are
embraced within II, 800 square miles The
anthracite coal area is confined mainly to
the Wyoming, Lehigh and SchuylkiIl re-
gions of Pennsylvania, though it reaches
to limited extent into West Virginia
The following shows the production, in
tons, of coal in this country for each GEN.
sus year since 1850:

Importations of coal j

Importations of coal into this country
are small, and principally from British
Columbia and Australia, TO supply
Pacific coast demand. Importations from
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are very
slight, and only about one-half as much as
five years ago. While the production in
the Pennsylvania field has increased
nearly 400 per cent. since 1860, he in
crease in the production of bituminous
has been more than twice as great 1t is
particularly noticeable that while our pop
uIation has only doubled since 1860 the
coal production of 1880 is more than nine
times as great as that Of 1860. However,
the production of 10000, 900 tons in this
country last year was still 1900 600 under
England's output.
