important flour- and saw-mill industries; — while the method of accounts
as regards the value of semi-products obtained has been changed. The
figures for the years 1861—95 and those for the years 1896—1912 ought
therefore to be considered separately and may not be compared with each
other.
Another proof of the advance made by Swedish industries is afforded
by Table 67, which shows the annual consumption of coal and coke.
Thus, in fifty years the consumption of coal and coke has risen from
370 000 tons to 4 640 000 tons annually, or from less than 100 kg to more
than 865 kg per inhabitant. The increase during the last ten years has
been extraordinarily great.
For Europe as a whole in our days, the consumption of coal per head of the
population is about 1 500 kilograms annually. The fact that the figures for
Sweden are still so low is the result, in a great measure, of other kinds of fuel
being employed on a larger scale than is usually the case elsewhere. For example;
