each decade the output has beer
practically doubled. The yea
1908 was a notable exception t.
the general increase, but il wa.
essentially an exception. Wher
the country has recovered from
the effects Of the financial de-
preston, a continual increase
IN the annual production NAV
be looked for.
In the decade ending Decem-
Der 81, 1905, the total produc-
ton amounted to 1882, 400, 74o
short tons, and the grand total
from the beginning of coal min
ing amounted to $3.50. SIC, sos
short tons. The average annual
production from 1896 to 1905
was 2S3, 24O.275 short tons. com
pared with which the average
production for the three years
from 1906 to 1906. inclusive
(436, 7S7 800 short tons). showed
an increase Of 1913, 547 ,525 short
tons, or 54.2 per cent.
This great increase in the
production Of coal when con-
sidered with the increase in
population furnishes some in
teresting comparisons. Going
back to the middle Of the last
century. and comparing the
coal production with the popul-
alton, we find that in 1850. ac-
according to the United States
Census, the production OF coal
to G,455, 6sl tons and
population of the country was

Sweden have capital of $50, 900,
and the stock company banks $172,-
100000. The Skane Enskilda bank
heads the list, with capital stock
of s14,445, 900. At the beginning OF
the wear the Filipstad bank had the
largest percentage of the capital
stock on hand, namely, 1872 per cent.
The Stockholm Handles bank gave
the largest returns on the investment,
the dividend paid to the stockholders
being II per cent. In point of litiga-

with 713 lawsuits, involving about

NORWAY.

The success of Elias Tonnesen, the
notorious-or perhaps famous-bur-
glar Is largely due to a peculiar dis
inclination on the part of the ordinary
Norwegian to assist the police. Al
most hundred years ago Gjest
Baardsen became national hero
simply by being clever fellow to
steal from the rich and to break Jail.
Tonnesen worked on the same plan.
1t is a good joke on the Norwegians
that Tonnesen was caught when he
went to Sweden. The Norwegian boy
patriots think the Swedes got even
with the Norwegians by this catch,
the NOrwegians being responsible for
the death of Karl XII, Sweden's war
king! Elias TonneSen, who in short
while acquired national notoriety as
burglar and jail-breaker, was cap
tured in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The hostility between Admiral
Spare and Admiral Borresen in the
Norwegian navy is still causing mis-
chief. Spare is Leftist and friend
Of the present cabinet, and Borresen
4 court martial to dispose of certain
charges of malfeasance, preferred
against him by Spare. The govern
ment is endeavoring to settle the diff
ficulty as mere business matter, but
to this the Rightists in the storthing
are opposed. 1t is not improbable
that the Rightists will carry their
point in the storthing, and in that
case Premier Knudsen may resign.
Deposits of rich zinc ore have been
discovered at Sande, near Drammen.
More young people emigrated from
LON, Guldbrandsdal, last spring than
ever before in the same length of
time. 1t is claimed that they left the
country because they could not OBJ
tain land of their own at home,
though much good land is lying
around unused in that part of the
country. This fact has aroused a
lively discussion in the press about
the disposition of unused tillable land
In Norway
l. N. Crude, at Sandnas, had 1000
trout fry put into a pond prepared for
the purpose at Holland church, and
they are growing so fast that when
they get about " years old they are
large enough for a meal at a restaurr
ant. 1t is now proposed to construct
trout ponds where the offal from the
canneries may be used to the greatest
advantage.
A forest fire started at Mas, Ro-
merike, and about so acres of scrawny
timber was destroyed before it was
put out. 1t is supposed to have been
started by careless woodchoppers.
