Portland. July 10. To th Editor of

Mineral Wealth of the South.
From the World's Work.
About on seventieth of tha mineral
production of the entire country comes
from the southern states. Of bitum
inous coal, the most valuable mineral,
the south produces one fourth, and of
Iron about one ninth. Its total coal re
sources amount to nearly 600,000,000,
000 tons, 'or more than one fourth of our
estimated coal reserve.
Of mineral chemical materials the
south supplies more than one half,
chiefly prosphate rock, all of which Is
Sroduced In Florida, Tennessee and
outh Carolina, and nearly one third of
the mineral pigments. Of nrecious
stones the whole country produces only
sszo, uuu worm, wun in soutn furnish
Ing its fair share.
The showing In Iron ore reserves la
quite ss good; a safe minimum is 8,
000,000,000 tons, or nearly one third of
ine nations total, ur workable Iron
ore the south contains one snd one half
times as much as the famous Lake
Superior district, and this does not In
clude the deep lying southern ores, un
workable at present. But all ores must
be counted in any estimate of iron reserve.
On a basis of value of product tha
south furnishes more thsn two sevenths
of our oil and more than one sixth of
our gas.
Children's Papers in India.
Nowher in the world is there such an

In the United States. Not so in India.
Regard for the needs of childhood Is one
of the distinctive marks of a Christian

there was only one magazine written
expressly for children in all the Mar-

one has the attractive title of Bal

Emily R. Blssell, has recently made ar
rangements with the Youth's Companion
of Boston to translate snd adapt some
of its articles, and to reproduce some of
its outs, to rurnisn good wholesome
