The Scientific American has made an
interesting abstract from an address BY
Marius r. Campbell, of the United
States Geological Survey, to the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Coal, according to the address, may
be divided into three main classes, an.
thracite, bituminous and Ignite, but In
the trade these main classes are broken
up into several groups, which are repre-
sented in the following diagram:

bituminous Is a high grade OF bitumi-
nous, such as the Georges Greek coal
of Maryland, Pocahontas coal of vir-
ginia and West Virginia, and the car
boniferous coal OF Arkansas. I'D b.
luminous is the common grade OF coal
found throughout the Eastern coal
fields and in limited areas In the West.
(e) Sub-bituminous is applied to Goals
below the grade of bituminous, but
above that Of Ignite. They are black
and shining, but are light In weight
and slack badly on exposure to the at
mosphere. These Goals are common In
the western fields of Washington, east
ern part of Montana, Northern Wy
oming- about Denver In Colorado, and
In Northwest srn New Mexico. (f) Mg-
mite is brown and woody, and occurs In
North Dakota, South Dakota. Texas,
Southeastern Arkansas, Mississippi and
Alabama.
The classes noted above include all
Of the different kinds of coal that are
known, but certain peculiarities Of Goals
within the bituminous class have led
10 distinctions which are of great I'M
portance; this the property Of coking,
which is limited entirely to the BIZ
luminous class, has given to Goals pos
sessing this popularity a value far
above those Goals having similar COM
position, but which do not possess this
characteristic. The reason why one

last nearly 1000 years. On the other
hand, the increasing rate OF coal con-
sumption in the United States is an
alarming factor In considering the fu-
ture supply. The rate Of increase is
enormous, the amount produced In each
decade since 1915 being equal to the
entire previous consumption. The
amount Of coal consumed in the ten
years from 1916 to 1926 was about 315,-
353 short tons. In the ten years from
1896 to 1905 the consumption was over
1882. 500. 452 short tons.
If the consumption Of coal continues
to increase in the future as fast as 1t
has in the past, the supply will be ex-
hausted In about 100 years.

MIRACLE OF SELF CONFIDENCE
The Doubling Waverer is Self Or
dained for Failure

The Doubling Waverer is Self Or
dained for Failure.
1t was said that Napoleon's presence
in battle doubled the strength of his
forces. Half the effectiveness Of an
army resides in the soldiers faith In
their leader When the leader doubts,
hesitates, wavers, the whole army is
thrown into confusion; but his con-
fidence doubles the assurance of every
man under him.
The mental faculties, like soldiers,
must believe in their leader-the I'M
comparable will. The mind of the
doubter, the hesitator, the waverer,
the man who Is not sure of himself,
who thinks he is not equal to what he
has undertaken, Is set toward failure,
and everything works against him.
There is weakening all along the
line.
In an emergency, as in danger, a
man can often perform feats of great
strength which he could not even ap-
proximate in cold blood. Arousing a
man multiplies his power tremendous
ly. Think of what delicate men and
women. even invalids, have accomplish
ed when dominated by some supreme
occasion or mighty passion. The i'm
perious must gives added strength
and unusual power to all the faculties.
SO a great self-faith, an unwavering
self-confidence, braces up the entire
man, physically, mentally, morally. 1t
raises him to his highest power, and
makes him do with ease what would
be impossible without this wonderful
stimulus
An overmastering faith in oneself
often enables comparatively ignorant
men and women to do marvellous
things-feats which sensitive timid,
doubling people. of far greater ability
and much finer texture and nobler
qualities shrink from attempting.

TRENTON, June 2.-Showing that
the State will receive an aggregate OF
$2,457, 771.57 in taxes on GAS miscella-
neous corporations, a preliminary sched-
ule was filed with State Comptroller
West today by Irvine e, Mcguire, Sec
rotary Of the State Board of Assessors,
following a meeting of the board at the
State House.
This schedule does not include all the
miscellaneous corporations which are
taxed. 1t represents only those which
have made returns to the State board
prior to today. Supplementary sched-
ules showing additional taxes will be
filed from time to time as other cor
porations report.
As compared with the corresponding
schedule last year the present one
shows a falling off of $107, 776.47 in the
amount of taxes levied, while the num-
Der of corporations shows an increase
of 264. 1t was explained IN TIE
assessors office today hat the de-
crease in the amount of the tax is at
tributable to the fact that a great
many corporations which have been
making returns in previous years ON
inflated capital stock, have squeezed
some of the water out during the past
year and are o making returns
upon a reduced amount of stock issued
and outstanding. Others which have
made returns but have not paid their
taxes, have had their charters Cor
feited and do not appear upon the
schedule.
The assessors say that the companies
from which taxes are actually col
lectible show a marked increase, with
a corresponding probability for a
larger State revenue than for the past
few years.
The magnitude of the capitalization
of some of the New Jersey corporations
is shown by the fact that in this pre-
liminary schedule alone 244 companies
pay a tax on an issued capital stock of
SO, 900, 900 or more; 1876 on a capital
stock of $40, 900, 900 or more; 20 on a
capital stock of $50, 000, 900 or more, and
Z on a capital stock of $100, 000, 900 or
more. This last group of seven in
cludes the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany, the American Tobacco Company,
the International Harvester Company,
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, Rock Island Company, the
United States Leather Company and
the United States Steel Corporation.
The issued and outstanding capital
stock of the 244 companies taxed on
5000, 900 or upwards of capital stock
reaches the enormous aggregate of &c.
1893, $3.50, 500, the tax on which aggregates
81. 207, 354.17. This does not include the
capital stock of the 6.192 companies
which have an issued capital of less
thar 5000, 900 each.
-Four life insurance companies fncor-
porated in New Jersey are taxed $751;
1903. 70, this being on the basis of 1 per
cent. on the surplus and thirty-five
one-hundredths of l per cent. on the
gross premiums. Three express com
panies viii pay a tax of $1,i57.54; one

BOSTON, June 2.-What is believed
to be the beginning of the end of the
depression in New England which has
hung over the manufacturing centres
since the financial disturbances last
fall comes with the close of the first
five months of 1908. Many mills which
have been on short time for months
have started their machinery on full
time schedules. A number have IN
creased their output during the last
week., and thus far manufacturers en-
ploying about $4,000 persons have given
notice of the abolition of short-time
schedules.
