sHIPBUILDING ON THE LAKES

A Detroit shipyard is building three steel freight steamships which are to be used in the Mediterranean trade One has already sailed for it's destin ation, and the others are soon to fol- low. The size of these vessels is re- stricted by the necessity of their passing through the Welland canal, which has a depth of only twelve feet and whose locks are but 255 feet long. but this does not detract from the interest which the enterprise will arouse If the shipyards of the Great Lakes take up seriously the construction of small vessels intended for the ocean trade, our local ship builders will have to face very for midable competitors. Luckily for them, the Weland canal, though it's enlargement has only begun. will not permit the passage of bigger vessels for some years Let us hope that by that time the American merchant marine will have so deveioped that there will be work enough for all the shipyards on both the Atlantic and Pa cific coasts, on the Great Lakes and on the Gulf of Mexico-Philadelph Record.

In 1S41 the total amount of coal pro- duced in the United States was p short tone, all of 1t anthracite; the next year 50 short tons were mined, the next year 75 short tons, and in 1919 the total quantity mined was $50 short tons There was a remarkable in- erase, however, in 1920. when 3450 short tons were mined, and two years later the quantity was 58,5S3 snort tone, due to the entrance of Virginia in the field with an output of 54,000 short tons of bituminous coal. From that time coal mining increased with leaps and bounds, so that at the close of the first fifty years of the industry the output was 23,605,123 short tons. This figure, however, will be consid- cred remarkably small when it is not
 ed that the output of the mines of the United States in 1900 was 269, ,6S4,027 short tons. The largest annual output so far recorded was that for 1910, which was 501, ,596,378 short ons. In 1911 the total amount of coal produced was 496, ,221, ,168 short tons. The an
