Lead mines in the state are not i'm

Illinois separately"
The increase in Illinois coal pro-
duction from 1888 to the present year
is graphically illustrated in a bulletin
of the state survey, which says: in
the last rs years the production of
the state has increased $40 per cent.
If the same rate of increase contin-
ues for another quarter OF century
the annual production then will be
approximately 135,0o0,O00 short tons
The production for the last ten years
has increased at even more rapid
rate, amounting to 113 per cent.
AT this rate production of S0.-
100000 tons will be reached in ten
years, or approximately 2S0,000.000
tons in 25 years. This is about the
amount of bituminous coal now mined
and sold in the whole of the United
States. 1t is impossible to say what
the future rate of increase will in fact
be, but these figures are at least seri-
GUS possibilities and the production
undoubtedly will increase rapidly for
many years to come.

to American standards.
Other minimum measurements are
also reduced by the general order in
proportion to the height. Recruits
five feet two inches tall are required
to have a chest measurement of 80
inches at expiration and mobility of
the chest amounting to two inches.
One hundred and twenty-four pounds
is fixed as the minimum weight for
this height.

rlaers Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is prosperous rubber factory run by
a long-headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made 1t is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district. but there are
an abundance Of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the tress. but
the Scotch proprietor hit on brill
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stun. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
Ion. after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once q
day and collect the rubber.

Coal Easily Heads List-cIay Products
and Limestone Next in Impor-
tance According to Figures
of Geologist.

Chicago.-The annual production OF
the mineral wealth of Illinois has been
compiled by the state and government
geological surveys. 1t has been fcsind
that in 1905 the state produced tDtal
of s57, 900 in minerals OF this
39,754 900 was coal.
Clay products and limestone come
next to coal in Importance. Other
useful decorations from home min
erals are sandstone, Portland cement,
natural rock cement. fiuorspar. rnin-
eral spring water. spelter. lead ore.
glass sand and molding sand.
One startling thing discovered in
all this research, according to E. B.
Van Horn, in the Mining World, is
the decrease in the amount of spring
water sold. At one time there was
water to the amount of S303S, 900
sold from springs in Illinois. In 1905
this dropped to $4,000. The explana-
tion is that resorts have been found
ed at the different springs and the
water is used for bathing purposes
and not sold in the market.
The production of Portland cement,
which is becoming one of the most
important factors in building. is in
creasing. On this question Mr. Van
Horn says:
THE output of Portland cement for
1905 was 1886 barrels, valued at
$1.741.15O. In 1904 1.S26,7O4 barrels.
with a value of s1.449,114. were pro-
