According to revised estimates" by
the geological survey, the coal re-
naming in the United States amounts
to some three thousand billion short
tons. The figures are inconceivable,
but what they signify can be readily
understood. In a word. the supply is
sufficient to last for more than 1000
years; presumably, at that, allowing
something for present wasteful meth
DDS of production. To be sure some
thing less than one-half OF the supply
is accessible only with difficulty, ac-
cording to known methods of extrac-
tion. Still, with whatever exceptions,
the revised estimates give a more
hopeful outlook than the public had
been led to believe were possible from
figures heretofore submitted.

say that the wild birds which stay In

but men who make the study of the
weather their life work and bring to
bear upon it all of the learning and
scientific resources of the age, utterly
reject these much trusted warnings.
They are certain that there is nothing
in the whole theory of animal prep
arations, conscious or unconscious, for
differences in winters They do not
believe that the trees grow more bark
or put thicker burrs on nuts because
the winter is going to be severe. In
fact. the scientific experts who deal
with the climate seriously and with
