previous total was reached. The total known CLEARANCE coal production of the world (exclusive of brown coal or lignito) in 1910 was about 1,035 million tons, of which the United Kingdom produceed more than ono-fourth. As compared with its population, the production of coal in the United Kingdom still surpasses that in the United States. It amounts to maurly sir tous per head; while in the United States it is under five tons per head. In Belgium it amounts to 3 tons, in Germany to about 24 tona, and in

· France to under one ton por head. The follow ing statement shows the average value por ton of the coal produced, taken at the collieries, In the fivo above-mentioned countries, in the years 1907 to 1910:
