When Lord Macaulay pictured the
Tasmanian of the future as standing
on London bridge and viewing the
ruins Of a faded civilization, doubtless
he was not more than half in earnest.
Certainly the majority of his readers
have accepted his forecast as merely
jest. Yet according to certain
scientific predictions that have been
made recently. there is more than a
probability that the grim jest will
some day become a sober reality. The
basis of the prediction is the fact
that the worlds supply of coal is be-
ing rapidly exhausted, it being declared
on high engineering authority, that
with the exhaustion of it's coal, not
only will the power and influence of
a nation decline, but even it's existence
will be imperiled''
Coal, it is urged, is the foundation
stone, so to speak, of modern civiliZa-
ton. Eliminate coal from the world
today, and what would become of our
civilization tomorrow? Nearly all
our factories would cease to work; our
railway systems would become mere
avenues for the creeping traffic of
horse cars-in a word, chaos would
supervene in our present social struc-
ture. But what of electricity? What of
compressed air? What of gas as fuel?
you say. All these, as at present
utilized, are but products of the con-
sumption of coal, and as the case
stands today it needs no practical
reserva ton that the work of mankind
is done by the energy which is stored
in coal, and which is liberated and
made available when coal is burned. }

might witness the beginning of - in
dustrial decline, which would ulti-
mately threaten the existence of the
civilizations of Europe and America.
All this is very dreadful; but even
the most pessimistic reader cannot fail
to note that the foregoing paragraph
contains a reservation. These things
are what might come to pass if the
consumption of coal were to go on at
the present increasing ratio, and if no
new resources were discovered. But
these suggested alternatives reveal a
possible avenue of escape. Need the
consumption of coal go on at the pres
ent rate? And are there no other
sources of energy that can be advan-
tageously utilized? These are vastly
important questions. Fortunately they
have received at least tentative an
swers.
AS to the need of consuming coal at
the present rate, the claims made by
the engineers who have given the mat
ter attention are really startling. Their
estimates show that there is prodi
gality of waste in the existing method
of handling coal which is hardly cred
ible. Nature set the example, to begin
with, for it appears that the existing
beds of coal, vast as they are, repre-
sent but a mere pittance of what
they were in an early geological age.
The coal was made in, Swamps or for
ests that were practically at the sea
level. Since then, in the Pennsylvania
region, the earth has upheaved, and
the seams of coal now form parts of

Last Dav of Debate

washington, March 30-The last day
of the debate on the amendments that
have been made to the general treaty
of arbitration concluded with the dis
cussion of this afternoon
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock the
vote VIII be taken on the amendments
that are pending up to that time. and
the next morning the amended copy of
the treaty, if it shall have been amend
ed. will be laid before the senate. The
discussion on these amendments will
proceed until Thursday at o'clock,
when the final vote on the amendments
then pending will be taken, and after
then no further amendments will be
permitted. When the final vote will be
taken is a matter that cannot now be
determined, for Mr.. Davis has pressed
for an agreement, but UP to this time
has been unable to secure one.
The discussion this afternoon was. as
it has been for several days, on the
Chiffon amendment, which provides
that every question proposed TO be
submitted to arbitration under this
treaty shall first be submitted to the
senate for its approval or disapproval.
just as an original treaty is submitted.
1t looks very much as if this amend
ment would prevail.
Mr.. Chiffon addressed the senate to-
course of the discussion Mr.. Platt of
Connecticut asked Mr.. Chiffon why his
proposed amendment was better than
that proposed by the committee. Mr.
Chiffon asserted that it was better be-
cause it made the intent of the senate
clearer and left the subject without
any doubt in the minds of the Ameri-
can people.
Senator Morgan made another of his
speeches on the treaty as a whole and
asserted that it made no difference to
him how the convention amended it.
he would be opposed to it. The time
had not yet come, he said. when the
United States should bind itself by a
general treaty with Great Britain No
good could come from it, and he said
he hoped that every man who favored
the interests of the United States
would vote against its ratification
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts made a
