work many of them. They have dug
out the surface coal and they are now
working at great depths. One English
vein, fourteen and half inches wide,
is already down over twelve hundred
feet. Such vein would not be wn ked
to any great depth in America. The
Newcastle coal field, which is the rich-
est in England, has veins from three
to six feet thick, while the Wales coal
veins are less than three feet in thick
ness. Some of our Pennsylvania an
thracite veins run from thirty feet to
sixty feet feet in thickness, while the
Pittsburg bituminous coal veins are
from eight to sixteen feet thick. At
the present rate of mining it is esti-
mated that all the English coal will be
exhausted in 212 years il it is worked
down to 1000 feet, and this will be 113
feet deeper than any of the English
mines now worked. Notwithstanding
the enormous amounts OF coal which
we have taken out of our anthracite
region it is estimated that we could go
ON at the present rate for GIG years.
As England goes further down her
coal mining will become more expen-
sive, and her days as manufacturing
Nation are, consequently, numbered.
Already we surpass her great deal in
manufacturing, and there is no doubt
that we, with our vast supplies of coal
and iron, are to be the chief manu-
featuring Nation of the future.
Our Appalachian coal fields alone
could supply the world with fuel for
centuries. They are the largest and
richest known, and they are so situated
that the coal can be shipped from them
long distances by water. From Pitts
burg coal can be carried for eight.

AN EXPLOSION.

There is also danger from fire damp,
or the union of the gases of the mine
brought together by the light from

explosion. 1t comes like stroke OF
lightning, and with q clap Of thunder.
As the explosion occurs roaring
whirlwind Of flame goes through the
tunnels, pulling down the timbers and
caving in the walls. 1t burns every
thing within reach. Miners are
blinded, scorched and sometimes
burned to cinders. Hundreds have
often been killed at time by such
explosions, and by the food Of cur
bonic acid gas which follows them.
The statistics show that even in the
United States one miner is killed for
every hundred thousand tons Of coal
mined, and those who are injured
number many times this proportion.

coal field Of Alaska, which, one of the
geological survey men tells me, comes
right out over the water, so that the
coal can be dug down and almost fall
into the ships below. This Alaskan
coal will probably be used TO supply
the Pacific trade, and its importance
will be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that the largest fleet that sails
the Pacific is the coal fleet. Most of
the coal from that region comes from
Australia and Japan. Much Australian
coal is brought to San Francisco. Dur
ing my travels in japan visited one
coal mine which had fifty miles of tun-
nels under the sea, and learned that
the japanese were making great deal
of money out of their coal.
They were shipping it to China, not
withstanding the fact that the geolo-
gists say that China has some Of the
largest coal fields of the world. /
doubt the extent of the Chinese fields.
The people are thrifty, and il is curl
ous that they do not use the coal il
they haveit. They are among the
most economical of people, and in the
different Chinese cities coal is so valu-
able that il is ground to dust and then
mixed with dirt, being sold in balls
about the size of biscuit. II is in
teresting to know the coal fields Of
the world, as estimated by the geolo-
gists. Here they are:
China, 10000 square miles; United
States east Of the Rockies, 192, 900
square miles; Canada, $1,000 square
miles; India, $4,000 square miles; +;
New South Wales, $4,000 square
miles; Russia, 10000 square miles;
United Kingdom, II 500 square miles;
Spain, $500 square miles; Japan, 5000
square miles, France, 2080 square
miles; Austria Hungary, 1870 square
miles; Germany, ITO square miles;
Belgium, $40 square miles.
From the above table it will be seen
that the English coal area is small.
Still England has for years been the
centre of the coal production of the
world, and for years it mined more
than half the total amount used by the
world. The United States is now
probably ahead of it, and we are in
creasing our product every year. The
