government acquiring; all the' anthracite
coal beds of tha United States, and
noiawg an or the coal for the navy.
He' points out that It Is tha best coal
in ths - world, and would, glva tha
American navy a tactical advantage
over every other sea power. He esti
mates that It would, cost 618.000,000,000
to buy the coal beds, but that It would
not be necessary, to pay for them all
at once, giving hundred-year bonds for
them, "Imagine," says he, "clouds of

The latest of these building; enter-

t is proposed to utilize natural cement
deposits, which have been unearthed in
San Bernardino county, Southern Cali
fornia, This deposit has been found to
contain 76 per cent silica, 14 ? per cent
alumina, 1.26 per cent ferrlo oxide and
?.60 per cent lime. Its silica ndalum
na content readily makes It equal to
concrete in fire resistance, and the ab
sence of objectionable elements removes
the danger of slacking under contact
with water.

which haa the same consistency as con
