that the vessels are bbund for the Phil

to Spain, SO. that Camara no longer pos

\ PROSPECTIVE SHORTAGE OF
OXYGEN.

Persons who happen to be inconveni-
enced by dearth of anxieties are invited
to agitate their spirits by contemplation
Of the prospect of a shortage of oxygen
in the atmosphere. 1t seems that there
are well-informed persons, Lord Kelvin
amongst them, who find reason to be-
heve that this calamity is impending.
The figures (estimated) in the case are
that the world uses annually six and a
half billion tons of oxygen for breathing.
purposes, and nearly half as much for
fires. This is a big consumption. To re-
pair 1t we rely on vegetation which we
are pretty constantly restricting. So we
use more and more oxygen all the time,
and make less and less. No wonder Lord
Kelvin says the earth is undergoing "a
steady loss of oxygen" AS yet, though,
the atmosphere does not show it, and it
may be few thousand years yet before
the difference win be measurable. To the
short-sighted the prospect may not seem
distressing, but folks who need anxieties
should not neglect this one, since, after
all, In anxieties and ancestry and such
things little remoteness does no harm.
