THE FUTURE OF COAL.
Though tho Fuei supply h Dwindlini
Prospects Are sim bright

frospscN arc Htih hftEhG
Some people don't care what be-
comes OF the coal supply OF the world
and others do. Without casting any
aspersions upon those whom tho APP
preaching exhauftion Of tho earth's
coal deposits moves not. we must
nevertheless admire others for their so
llcltude MS TO what their descendants
will do without II few thousand
years hence. The fact, however, that
mankind every year uses about 400
100000 tons OF the coal left in the
world. estimated roughly at a paitry
100000. 900 tons. should rouse the
needless ones from their apathy. A
few years ago II was foreseen that
the supply OF sperm whales would be
exhausted, no more candles could be
made and man would ne left in dark
ness. Even then there were people
who didn't care. and when somebody
discovered kerosene they said: "Oh,
I don't knowl' or words something
like that, Kerosene was getting scarce
and another chill shook the planet
Then the Consolidated Gas Company
was formed. usurplng Col. Bryan's
rights, gas took the place OF kerosene.
and Standard oil went up ten points.
II wasn't long before the world had
another chill. but not such bad one
as the others. II was getting used TO
them. Gas was giving out, and the
end OF the world was near. But cleo
trio light came in time and saved the
world from darkness. Now. however,
somebody has discovered that in the
generating OF incandescent electric
light 9S per cent OF the energy used Is
thrown away so electric light will
have to 20. The next thing will be
animal light Only per cent OF that
is wasted. The Flreny aha Glowworm
Light company is due. But the devel-
opment OF electrical forces will not
stop the use OF coal. and 80 the coal
barons can rejoice. Solar heat, tides,
wave motion and wind currents can
be harnessed. yet the day OF the steam
engine and coal Is not past. These
forces cannot be relied upon as coal
The sun does not shine with equal
warmth every day nor does the wind
blow with equal force. Waves and
tides vary greatly.
