ply becomes exhausted there will be
diminished production with higher
prices, and within 200 years or even
less the high price Of coal will render
the conditions of living very difficult.
A supply of heat might be obtained
in the form Of steam by drilling q
hole in the earth's crust at least ten
miles deep. Such a project has been
considered from a practical point Of
view by the Hon. MI. Parsons of tur-
bine fame and his verdict is that the
execution of the project would cost
"a, 900 and could not be accom-.
pllshed in less than eight years. It 10
conceivable that such a project might
be undertaken, but it Is highly i'm
probable that it will be.
Sir William urged that the present
generation should exercise thought for
the generations to come by conserving
the stores of coal existing in England.
Otherwise, in 200 years he foresaw a
general immigration from England to
other countries and the decay of the
industries dependent on coal for their
energy,

An Oratorical "Sisser."

A diffident man who had been asked
to respond to a toast at a banquet
grew more and more nervous as the
time approached when he should be
called on. When at last the critical
moment arrived, he gripped the edge
of the table and rose uncertainty.

the result was a fine speech. l made

God knew that speech; and now-God
only knows it."

A mar named Danvers was the last
victim. He vas executed for the cold
blooded murder of a farmer and his
wife, who had hefriended him. The
scenes were extraordinary.
Men and women masked and in
fancy dress paraded the streets, halt
Ing in front of the Jail where the con.
demned man was lying, ignorant of
his impending death, to sing comic
songs with uproarious choruses.
M. Deibler, the executioner, was the
object of frenzied ovations whenever
he left the privacy of his hotel, and
the cafes, restaurants and hotels were
all packed.
On the night before the execution
no one seemed to go to bed, but re.
manned on the streets awaiting the
execution, and once the crowd of mas.

Susie had been promised a pair Of
new slippers for Sunday. Anxious to
have them at once she had tried in
every way to persuade her mother to
buy them for her and let her wear
them to a children's party that was to
be given on Wednesday, but without
success. Finally when both she and
her mother had become tired of the
teasing the little girl said: We'll,
mamma, you needn't get them now;
but maybe I'll be dead by Sunday and

Rear Admiral Sperry, commander
in-chief of the fleet returned from its
triumphant sail around the world,
sometimes has serious spells of absent
m%indedness. Several years ago he was
talking with a group of fellow officers
at the Naval War college at Newport,
when one of them remarked that he
had been ordered for duty on the
Asiatic station.
Are you going to take your wife
with you?" Admiral Sperry inquired
NO." the officer replied.

mistake" the admiral continued in
positive terms. Il was out there in
1876 when an epidemic of cholera

question will be settled, somewhere
about the year 2109, by the compul-
sorry return of the great mass of the
people of England to agricultural pur.
suits. The prime factor in the case is
the diminishing coal supply, which
according to this eminent authority
would not last more than from 500 to
