Should Coal Give Out? (Gunton's Magazine,)

What then? Are we utterly depend. ant upon coal, 80 that the wheels of in dustry will stop and the forests be con sumed for fuel when coal gives out? Of course not. It is an idle fear. Al ready we have the beginnings of new method of utilizing natural energy which will prove enormously moro ef- fective than coal ever has been, and will be practically inexhaustible, to whatever extent industry may expand.
 Electrical energy, developed by water power, will run the worlds industries, furnish its light and heat, and be the universal substitute for all forms of com bustion methods. Water power is practically unlimited, and it will be utilized more and more in proportion as the need for it arises and as it's use be. comes, at different places and at success siye periods, cheaper than coal. The substitution will proceed gradually, un. til, when the coal supply finally is ex. hausted, nobody Will have anything more than curious or academic inter est in the matter, and probab y not g ripple will be produced in the steady onward flow of the worlds industry As the use of water power to develop electrical energy increases to the point of formidable competition with coal, electrical students and inventors will doubtless bring out improvements mak. ing it possible to store the power ol conduct it long distances at small cost until our factories, railroads and ships can be operated by it, our houses light ed and warmed and food prepared, all at even less expense than is possible to- day with coal.

ing which she grew steadily worse.
Mrs. Catherine j. Bailey died at A. NJ.

clouded and she had been the object Of
great solicitude aud care by her faithful

would have formerly been greatly de-
plored, comes now In form OF relief
both for her tired spirit and those who
have SO carefully watched over her.
