publishers before its ultimate appear

was the beginning of his fame. Still,
it is hard to understand how a book
like Vanity Fair could go to twenty
publishing houses. to be refused by
all. However, Thackeray believedin his
own work, and brought it out himself,
the result being fortune and fame.
Sartor Resartus was rejected by all the
chief publishers of London, who treat
ed it with something approaching
scorn. Tom Jones, the novel which
opened up a new field OF fiction, and
to which Dickens acknowledged the
greatest Indebtedness, failed altogeth

had made name as a dramatist-
Uncle Toms Cabin was refused by
dozen publishers. and it was at length

Born Of humble parents in Ser
Wan village about 35 years ago, Tesla
has climbed the ladder of fame solely
through hard work and ability. His
father was a clergyman Of the Greek
church. His mother was a woman
with distinct gift for invention. It
was from her that Niekola believes he
received his inventive turn. While a
boy he attended the polytechnic school
at Gratz. where he acquired his first
fascination for mathematics and the
study Of electricity. While still quite
young he obtained a position as as
sistant in the government telegraph
engineering department at Buda-Pesth.
Later he went to Paris. where his
hard work and studies continued.
Later he crossed the Atlantic and OBJ
tanned employment in one of Thomas
A. Edisons laboratories. His assid-

valuable aid. Later his studies were
directed along different lines from

all preliminary work will be COM

This will be the last great struggle

Our BitumInous Fields tho Most Err
tensiys in the World.
The $4,000 square miles Of coal fields
belonging to the United States give IT,
supply averaging one square mile OF
coal field to each 15 square miles of
territory. The meaning OF this may be
seen when it is remembered that the
ration for Great Britain is ! to 20 and
for France to 200. With the exception
of anthracite coal beds covering 500
square miles in eastern Pennsylvania,
but averaging 80 feet in thickness, and
excepting also one OF two small
patches Of coal in Colorado and New
Mexico. the above.fgures refer to btu
minous or soft coal. The eastern por-
ton of the United States contains five
great coal beds: First, the Appalachian
field, extending from the notthern
boundary of Pennsylvania to central
Alabama; second. the nllnois-Indiana
field. which extends into northwestern
Kentucky; third. field $50 miles wide
extending southward from central
Iowa, covering Indian Territory and
sending one arm across Arkansas and
another in central Texas; fourth, a lima
of strata in Texas from the northeast-
ern corner Of the state to the Rio
Grande river; fifth, the central Michi-
gan field. The western fields do not lie
in large continuous sheets, but consti-
tute small isolated pockets averaging
25 miles in width and so miles in
length. Such beds may be found
throughout the entire Rocky mountain
region from Montana to New Mexico,
numbering in all 45 distinct beds in
Colorado, Wyoming and the two states
mentioned. To the west Of this group
of detached fields we find Idaho, hav-
ing four small beds, Washington four.
and California FIVE.
