that Is true. what, It might be asked,
IS. the Use of setting up spasmodic 're-

government and expressing their WILL

by an atmosphere of nitrogen and car

Vegetation. he believes. has produced
almost all Of this gas in the present
atmosphere. During the course of CEN
turtles trees and herbs have been Civ
ing off oxygen and storing up carbon
in the form of wood and foliage. Tn
der Lord Eelvins hypothesis, the
quantity of oxygen now in the air Is
Just sufficient for the combustion of
all living and dead vegetation. From
the amount of oxygen existing he can
therefore determine the quantity of
cOinbuSt ibe material in the earth. Ar-
cOrding to his calcula tions. about l.020
millions of millions of tons of the gas
are in the atmosphere. AS II takes
three tons of oxygen to consume a ton
OF fuel from vegetation, 1t would fol-
low that there are 340 millions of mill
lions of tons of such combustibles.
Lord Kelvin concludes from present
indications that the supply of oxygen
and of combustibles will be exhausted
by about the year 400. Therefore. if
the race had not died from lack of fuel
by that time. it will stand good
chance of perishing by asphyXiaton.
