Exports Of American Coal.

Exports of coal from the United
States during the year 1900 are likely
to reach 100000 in value against
$10,O00,0 900 in 1896 and $6000000 in
1890. The figures of the Treasury Bu-
reau of Statistics show that the ex-
ports of coal from the United States
during the months ending with July
1900, are 80 per cent in excess of those
during the corresponding months of
last year and double those of the cor
responding months of 1898. In the I
months ending with July, 1898, the
exports of coal from the United States
were 2,375,451 tons; in the same
months of 1899 they were 3,006,0S2 tons
and in the corresponding months of
1900 they were 4,601,7 ,755 tons. During
the period from 1890 to 1900 the eX
portation Of coal from the United
States has quadrupled, but the prnci-
pal growth has been in the years 1898,
observable in the exports to all parts
of the world, it is especially marked
with reference to our exports to the
American countries. To British North
America, the exports in the months
of 1898 were 17SS,39S tons and in the
months of 1900, 3,253,S03 tons. To
Mexico the exports in the Z months of
1898 were 243,93S tons and in the cor
responding months of 1900, 4l5,S34
tons. To Cuba the exports have more
than doubled, being in the months
of 1898, 114,655 tons and in the Z
months of 1900, 241.712 tons: while to
Porto Rico the exports increased from
1921 tons in the months of 1898 to
1913 tons in the months of 1900. To
the Hawaiian islands, the exports, of
the months of 1899 were 10,3S1 tons
and in the corresponding months of
1900. 21,001 tons. thus more than doub-
ling in a single year. To the Philip
pine Islands the exports in the Z
months of 1898 were 4.S10 tons, and in
the months of 1900, 41,06S tons, or
eight times as much in 1900 as in 1898.
The experiments with American
coal which the Europeans have made
in the last two or three years seem
to have proved successful, as the ex-
ports to Europe, which in the months
OF 1898 amounted to only 4,507 tons,
were in the corresponding months of
1900 27S572 tons OF this 1877 tons
went to the United Kingdom, 402S
tons to Germany, 77,407 tons to
France, and 196,95O to ether European
countries

Church Attendance.

Mr.. George William Cooke, who has
been devoting considerable time to
study of church attendance in Massa-
chussetts, has arrived at the conclu.
sion that on an average, three women
attend church to every man that does
In three churches under Mr.. Cookies
notice the attendance in the Unitarian
was one man to- four women, in the
Baptist one man to three women, and
in the Universalist one man to two
women. He found several churches
in which the number of men was not
more than one man to seven or eight
women, and cites an instance in which
visitor to town in central Massa-
chussetts found only three men in a
congregation of forty.
In analyzing the causes of this dis
parity, Mr.. Cooke finds that the most
conservative churches have the largest
attendance of men and the distinctly
liberal churches the smallest. but he
qualities the last statement by stating
that when the preacher is a radical
thinker who keeps abreast of the times
the number of men equals or exceeds
the number of women.
The proportion of church goers to
the entire population also comes in for
consideration, and the investigator
finds that, in most towns, the number
of persons who never attend church
is not more than one in six or eight.
The number of regular attendants,
however, is not more than one in three
or four of the adult population, while
the reliable church-going public in
most of the towns constitute not more
than one-half the population. Few
Massachusetts, churches have sittings
for more than one-fourth of the adult
population. In concluding his state
ment On church attendance, Mr. Cooke
says:
l am of the opinion that genuine
first-hand. personal interest in relig-
ious questions was never greater than
now. This fact creates for the real
preacher such an opportunity as no
other Christian age has ever present
ed. In view of the vast spiritual needs
of our time, it is surprising how impo-
tent the churches are, how Intellectual
in their leadership. The trouble
seems to be that the preachers are liy-
ing in a world that nc longer has an
existence. The men of today are not
thinking the thoughts that are utter
ed in the pulpits.
