 Tree Resembles Umbrella. curious tree grows in one of the nun erous islands which are studded about the Pacific ocean. It grows, at ! it's full height, to nearly 30 feet, with branches spreading like a huge um- brella, yet it is completely leaf1ess, the species having never been kuown to show signs of single bud. Its sap is useful as medicine, but as fuel the wood is worse than useless, being as hard as iron and quite as difficult to burn.

MINERALS FAST DISAPPEARING.
Other Natural Resources Are Rapidly
Being Exhausted

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. July ia
bulletin just issued by the geological
survey gives some startling information
on the exhaustion of natural resources.
The most serious situation is that with
regard to petroleum.
Petroleum has been used for less than
fifty years. and it is estimated that the
supply will last only about twenty-five
or thirty years longer. 1t production is
curtailed and waste stopped it may last
till the end of the century. Animal and
vegetable oils will not begin to supply
its place.
one billion cubic feet of natural gas
are estimated to be wasted into the ait
every twenty-four hours. The gas sup
ply will last about twenty-five years.
Coal has been extensively mined in the
United States for not much more than
half a century, but the consumption i
increasing so enormously that if this in
crease should continue all the easily ac-
cessible coal would be exhausted by the
year 204O aud all coal by the middle OF
the Twenty first century. Water power
will undoubtedly largely. take it's place.
1t is estimated that ve,hin thirty years
the best iron ores will have been eN
Eausted.
Gold, silver and zine are all SO album
dant that the supply is likely to last for
centuries to come. Copper is also album
dant. but is largely in low grade ores
which can not now be protitably worked.
The phosphates, it is estimated will
be exhausted in about twenty-five years.
