the railroads in the country were very
generous in furnishing passes to the

Iron Ore Production in 1907.
The statistical work of the United
States Geological Survey on the iron
ore production for 1907 is sufficiently
far advanced to justify a preliminary
estimate on the total amount of iron
ore produced in the United States
during the last year Returns have
so far been received from producers
known to represent about half the
output OF the country. and these re-
turns indicate that the total produce
ton for the year will fall between
100000 to 100000 long tons. The
total production in 1905 was 42,526,163
long tons: that of 1906 was 47,749,72S
long tons. A total production of So,
100000 tons in 1907 would amount to
an increase of about II per cent over
the production in 1906. This gain was
very unevenly distributed among the
several producing districts. The Lake
Superior district seems to show an in
crease of about is per cent the South
ern district shows an increase of only
4 per cent: and the northern or north
western district gains per cent The
western district figures are as yet very
incomplete, but appear to show little
or no gain over 1906.

Religious Statistics for 1907.

The net gains of all religious denom-
nations in 1907, according to DR.. II.
K. Carroll, were 2,301 ministers. 4,214
churches, and 627.546 communicates
These figures are given in the annual
article on the statistics of the churches
of the United States published in the
Christian Advocate (New York. jan
uary 80. The gain in churches. ac
cording to DR.. CAROLS figures, is
more than double that of 1906 but the
gain in churches is nearly 1000 less,
and in communicates over 100000 less
than that of the previous year. The
Roman Catholic denomination is by
far the largest DR.. Carroll reports
over 100000. tho these figures fall
short of those given in Sadliers Cath
olic Directory, which reports the Ro-
man Catholic population at 13.SsO.353
the number of priests as 1908, with
$072 churches and 1906 missions
These figures are regarded by many
Roman Catholics as not exact and q
careful census is in process of con-
struction under the direction of the
bishop of st. Louis.
Next after the Roman Catholic
church comes the Methodist Episcopal,
with 6.660,7S4 communicates including
a total gain for the year-all branches
of 101.696. The Baptists of all bod
les number 5.2o4,3O5, including gains of
lO3,35s during 1907: all Presbyterians,
1921 ,504. an increase last year of 1887.
The Lutherans number 2,O22,6O5, hav-
ing gained 65,172: and the Disciples of
Christ l2S5.l2a. adding to their pre-
vious number 20,365 The American
Jewish Year Book for 1908 estimates
the number of Jews in the United
States in 1908 as 1,777,1S5. The statis-
teal table below gives other denomina-
tions whose aggregate is less than
million.
DR. Carroll repeats the paragraph in
his article relative to the Nariegated
character of the Greek Catholic group
of religionists in the United States. but
adds that an interesting development
of the past year is a negro priest con-
secrated by the Greek Patriarch of
Constantinople His sphere of work
is understood to he among his own
people in Philadelphia.
The union between the Presbyterian
church (Northern) and the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church was fully
carried into effect statistically in 1907.
But DIR. Carroll explains that lit was
not a complete union, as a consider
able number of ministers, churches,
and communicates of the Cumberland
branch refused to go into the union"

this would be a reflection on the honor
