merchant marine devoted to the coal
carving trade would be swelled to the
stupeudous number of 10000 ships.
These calculations give us something
of an idea of the extent of the coal
mining industry. and dispose our minds
to accept without question the alarmist
renorts sent out from time to time Co
incidently with the announcement OF
an advance In the market price. How
ever. there is another side to the ques-
tion. 1t is estimated that the area OF
coal lands in the world is 472,O00 acres,
distributed as follows: China and ia
pan. 100000; United States, $4,000;
India. $1,000: Russia. 1900: Great
Britain. 1900; Germany, $500; other
countries, 300 Ii is also estimated
that the coal supply OF China. Japan.
Great Britain, Russia, Germany, and
India is 303. 900, 0oo. 900 tons, an amount
sufficient to supply the world for $50
years at the present rate of eonsump-
ton. The coal still unmined In the
United States is estimated at 100000
100000 tons In round numbers. an
amount regarded as sufficient TO ex-
tend the period of the worlds consump-
ton to 1900 years. at the present rate.
Now. we have here something to al
lay our anxiety on the score OF speedy
exhaustion Of the coal supply. Few or
us will live 1900 years. and we can
safely rely upon the Inventive genius
or discoveries of future ages to supply
a substitute for coal long before the
stock runs short. II coal continues TO
advance In price at the rate at which
1t is going this year. the capacity OF
the public to purchase will have ceased
long before the available supply shall
have been exhausted.
1t may not be amsiss to attempt to
represent the reserve supply of coal In
this country by means Of diagram
using only round numbers and approx
mate dimensions.
II the coal mined within thirty years
is equivalent to block Of the dimen-
sions of cubic mile. the reserve may

to the niceties of dress has led to many
mistakes, which. az man Of humor,

of service on the London county Coun-
