The fall | in the production of anthracite, In | the face of a steady increase in the | | country's totul consumption of heat | units, is an indication of its de- | cline as a factor in the nation’s fuel | supply. Taking the country as a whole, {from 1829 to 1839, anthracite and bituminous furnished 100 per cent of the country's mineral heating. By | 1869, however, oil began to be heard | from and had attained 2.8 per cent | of the heating units. By 1889 natural gas attained 6.4 per cent of the heating, although it is not much further advanced than this to the present day, due to the habit of gas wells petering out after the promot- ora have left the vicinage. | ¥rom the paltry percentage of 12.9 obtained by ofl in 1889, the fluld | provides 35 per cent of the heating junits at the present time. Tracing the dolorous history of the diminishing anthracite industry | still further one finds that a centuly | ago anthracite supplted nearly €0 per cent of the total heat units con- sumed annually in the United Staten By 1900 this contribution had been cut more than in half, and during |the first two decades of the present century it was cut in halt again. In 1827, the last year for which figures are avaflable, anthracite supplied | less than ten per cent of the total number of heat units consumed in the United States. The contribution of oil and natural gas in that year was three times that of anthracite, 1n large areas in the Middle West, ‘mq West and the South anthracite |18 regurded as a luxury.

Nowadays every coal .deajer hapdies substitutes for an- thracite an well as being an agent for heating apparatus of diverse kinds.
