NEARLY NINE BILLION TONS,

In 1914 the total amount of coal
produced in the United States was 22
short tons, all of it anthracite; the
next year so short tons and in 1919
the total quantity mined was $50
short tons. There was a remarkable
increase, however, in 1920, when $3.50
short tons were mined, and two years
later the quantity was 5S.5S3 short
tons, due to the entrance of Virginia
in the field with an output of $4,000
short tons of bituminous coal. From
that time coal mining increased with
leaps and bounds, SO that at the
close of the first so years of the in
dustry the output was 2S,6O5,l2S short
tons. This figure, however, will be
considered remarkably small when II
is noted that the output of the mines
of the United States in 1900 was 269,-
6S4,027 short tons. The largest an
nual output so far recorded was that
for 1910. which was sol, ,596,S7S short
tons. In 1911 the total amount of
Goa! produced was 496 22l,16S short
tons. The anthracite coal industry
has increased from % short tons in
1914 to 9O,464,O67 short tons in 1911,
the largest quantity yet recorded. The
total amount of anthracite coal pro-
duced since 1914 is 2,27O,79S,737
short tons. The total amount of BIZ
luminous coal produced by American
mines since the beginning of the in
dustry is 6,46S,773,690 short tons, and
the total production of both anthra-
cite and bituminous coal is S,7S9 572
short tons. These figures are quoted
from a chart just issued by the Unit
ed States Geological survey showing
the production of coal in the United
States from 1914, the date of the ear
liest record. to tn eclose of 1911. The
chart also shows the production of
each state for each year during that
period.

HISTORY OF THE POTOMAC.

The great Potomac gorge was not
always as it is to lay, one of the most
beautiful and picturesque river val
leys. The United states Geological
Survey recently published geologic
folio describing about 400 square
miles including portion of the Po-
temac valley-the areas known as the
Pawpaw and Hancock quadrangles, in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, ami West
Virginia. This folio (No. 179, which
was written by George w. Stose con-
tains a most interesting account of
the gradual cutting down by the river
OF the deep gorge during thousands
of years.
The area is located in a part of the
Potomac Valley where the river
winds in great curves through a deep
gorge with densely wooded slopes. Az
the railroad travellers swing around
these sharp bends which almost meet
before they reverse and relaizes that
it takes three times as long to ride
between two points as it would to
go in a straight line, he may wonder
how the river acquired such a course
In view fro mthe tops of the ridg-
es, it can be seen that many of the
hilltops are flat and of about the
same altitude. and that if the valley
were filled up they would form a
nearly level plain. This feature is
also eXcellently shown by the topo-
graphic map which forms a part of
the folio. Mr. Stose says that many
thousand years ago the Potomac flow
ed toward the sea upon this plain.
which at that time was much lower
i'm altitude-in fact so near the level
Of the sea that the stream was very
and wandered about in its
valley, as is the custom of streams
with low grade, such as the Mississ
ippi Later, when the interior of the
was somewhat elevated, the
streams became "rejuvinated' ana
cut down their channels first into
the soft detritus which had accumu-
lated in the flat valley and eventually
into the hard rocks beneath. As the
continent rose still higher, they cut
deeper into the rocks, and, as a re-
suit, the Potomac is now deeply in
trenched in these winding gorges
One stream in the are. however, is
making a change by cutting off me-
ander and taking a short cut through
a hill, producing a beautiful cararact.
This stream Is shown in the photo
graphic illustrations of the folio, as
are also the remnants of the elevated
plain on the hilltops, once the valley
of the Potomac.

MOVING PICTURES AT HOME.

Gianni Bettinin, an Italian inven-
tor has recently perfected new de-
vice which makes it possible for al
most any amateur photographer to
make his own moving pictures Not
only does the new mechanism bring
the cost within the means of the aver
age amateur, but the resulting pictures
are actually clearer and sharper than
those produced in the ordinary way
by the use of moving film of cellu-
loid.
In accomplishing these astonishing
results Bettinin has exactly reversed
the principle of the usual moving pic
ture machine, in which the film
| travels back of the lense from spool
to spool. His photographs are made
in series on glass plate, which is
held rigid. while the lens, itself,
moves
The glass plates used in the Bettni
machine measure eight and One-half
inches in width. The photographs
taken in series on this plate are only
-sixteenths of an inch in width
by one quarter inch in depth. In
this way sixteen consecutive pictures
appear in a line and on each plate
there are thirty-six lines. making
total Of SIS images. The photographs
are taken at the rate of twelve or
more a second as the lens travels to
and fro.
The cost of a plate Of this kind is
four cents, while a celluloid film long
enough to carry the same number Of
pictures costs $1.5O. The Bettini
camera is sold for less than third
as much as the regular moving pic
ture camera and 1t is also used, in

man, drew but six votes. 1t was a
significant vote for it indicates that
despite his swashbuckling ways and
his fervid promises to labor the col
onel is not getting the support he ex-
pected from that quarter.
Nor is Roosevelt entitled to the vote
of labor if laboring men vote for self
interest. In this campaign Roosevelt
stands forth clearly as the exponent
Of the Perkins-steel trust theory of
legalizing trusts which is exactly what
all trusts want.
The Perkins-steel trust backing
should be sufficient to drive every
friend of union labor away from
Roosevelt, for the reason that union
labor has never had a foe more cruel
relentless and effective than the steel
trust
Golfers had very able editorial
upon this subject in its last issue.
The great trusts have made the
determination of organized labor from
their own works the foundation stone
Of their administration. Read this
resolution, passed by the Steel Trust
in 1901:
That we are unalterably opposed

advise subsidiary companies to take
firm positions when these questions
come up and say they are not going
to recognize it-that is, any extension
OF unions in mills where they do not

The result is that about eighty per
cent Of the unskilled laborers in the
steel and iron business are foreign
ers Of these classes. This ability OF
the great combinations of capital to
overcome combinations Of working
men is confidently relied upon by the
advocates of trusts as one Of the saw
