FOOTBALL RULES CHANGED.
Seven Games Can Be Played and Men
Can Play Four Years.

Chicago, December 1.-Several objec-
tjonable rules adopted by the big western
colleges last year when the college game
of football was reformed" were recti-
fled here today at meeting of the fac
ulty committee Of intercollegiate confer
ence. The chief objection to the new rules
was the shortness of the playing season,
and this was the first question consld-
cred at todays meeting
1t was decided that each college in the
future should be allowed to schedule
seven games instead of five, the number
that prevailed this year. The change in
this rule will give Michigan, Chicago and
Wisconsin an opportunity to renew foot
ball relations, which were abandoned this
year. The three-year rule was another
of the new regulations which met the
disapproval of the faculty members, and
when the committee had finished with
this question all students who entered
college prior to September l, 1906. were
made eligible to take part in regular ath-
letic meets or football games for four
years. All students who entered college
since that date will be subservient to
the three-year rule.

OUR COAL PRODUCTION.

Our History.

From the New York Sun.
The production of coal in the United
States In 1905 amounted to o92,o19,SH net
tons, having a value at the mines of S4i6-
756963, surprising in both quantity and
value all previous records in the history of
the country.
Compared with 1904, the output in 1905
exhibits an increase of Al, 102, 34o net tons,
or more than II per cent in quantity, and
of S32, 3S5, 942, or per cent in value.
OF the total production IN 1905, 1859. go
tons v.@re Pennsylvania anthracite, with a
value at the mines of S14l,S79,O00. The
total production of bitumnous coal and
Ignite was 49,, 259, 491 tons, valued at 1884,
ST. 1863.
The production of anthracite coal In
Pennsylvania in 1905 was 4.6sS lotions more
than in 1904, while the ;.Screase in the pro-
duction of bituminous coal and Ignite
was S6,599sS2 tons.
The larger part of the increased produc-
ton In 1905 is credited to the great activ-
ity in the iron industry, as is shown by
the fact that the amount Of coal made
into coke increased from 31,2lS.573 to 4
412, 1928 tons, and that the larger increases
were in the coking coal producing states
and those which furnished fuel 10 the iron
furnaces

FUTURE OF LONG ISLAND.
Brooklyn Borough Likely to outstrip
Manhattan in Population.


Did you know that $500, OOO, 600 are being
spent to annex Brooklyn to New York?
Do you realize that this will mean
tremendous future growth for all of east
ern Long Island? Charles H. Cochrane.
writing wildly in the December Broad
way Magazine upon 1.-THE Remuneration
of Brooklyn" says, in part:
THE millions that can no longer be
accommodated in Manhattan will flood
not only Brooklyn but Long Island City
and the boroughs of Queens, and solid
blocks of the houses may be erected all
the way to Sheepshead, Jamaica and Far
Rockaway. One cannot fail to recognize
the fact that Brooklyn borough will event.
ually have larger population than Man
haitian, because of its greater area, so
much of which is untitled.
''It is fact of momentous interest
in this connection that the building per-
mits granted for Brooklyn and Queens
county have steadily increased during the
past year, while the figures for Man
haitian and the Bronx lately show a slight
decrease. Under such conditions there
must be still further steady rise in
real estate values all over the eastern
end of Long Island. being greatest along
the lines of improved transit facilities.
1t is not too much to assume that $500, Co.,
900 of rapid transit improvements will
give Brooklyn an instantaneous increase
of a like amount in real estate values
Prices must double several times within
the next few years, as the distance in
time from Manhattan is reduced.
'At least hundred square miles of ter
ritory, not over 10 per cent of which is
covered with buildings will be placed
within less than a half hours ride of
city hall, Manhattan, and be made useful
for any and all sorts of business and resi-
