how ontlawry. especially applied to

than progression, principal which is

The unofficial estimate of the coal
 production of the United States for
 1910. by E. w Parker. coal statis-
 tician of the United States Geological
 Survey, is between 4SO and 490 mil
 lion tons. AS shown by the Sur
 vey's chart of coal production, just issued. the first recorded production
 Of coal was 22 tons in 1914 By 1850 the production had grown to
 what was then considered the enor-
 mou samount of 7,01S,1S1 tons, but by 1860 this figure had doubled and the production for that year was 14,610,042 tons. This was less than the production of Alabama alone for 1909. The centennial year of 1876 saw a production of 53,2S0,000 tons. By 1900 it was 53,2SO,OOO tons. In
 1880 the figure had reached 71, ,4S1,- 570 tons. yet this is less than the pro duction of the single state of Penn sylvania in 1909. By 1890 the pro-
 duction had jumped to 7,77O,000 tons and by 1900 it was 269, 9,6S4,027 Itons. Surely this was about as high as it was believed by most people
 that coal production would go, yet tho fl Urroc for 1Q07 showed tho opor.
 nous total of SO,363,42 tons, those
 for 1909 were 46O,SO3,41 tons, and
 according to Mr. Parker's estimate
 the production for 1910 may come
 very near the half billion mark.
