THE WORLDS COAL SUPPL Y,
now LONG IT WILL MOLD OFT NEED
NOT TROUBLE US MUCH.

Inventors aad Chemists Held Ont Az.
ssraace That Great Changes May BE
Looked for ia Methods Of Prcduciar
Heat and Power.
The question Of the exhaustion of
the coal supply of the United States
Is not one which can affect the pres
ent generation or the next. Yet the
American supply is likely to be ex-
hausted before that OF Europe, and
particularly before that, of Great
Britain. Looking at the matter from
the point Of view of national provi.
dence or provision. covering genera.
lions and generations. America should
beyond doubt be little saving of its
coal
1t has been estimated that Pennsyl-
vania has about enough anthracite
coal to last at the rate of production
that prevailed last year. a little less
than two hundred years. Probably
the supply will be exhausted much
sooner than that. unless some profita-
BILE substitute is found for anthracite.
AS to hitnminous coal in the United
States. the supply is very great and
widespread. 1t is estimated that It
will last, at the rate of consumption
which prevailed during the last dec
ade, something less than $50 years.
If the coal supply of the world at
large were likely to be exhausted in
any such way as to make consider.
able drain on American Goals for
foreign consumption, the situation
might be regarded as alarming if we
could put ourselves in the place of our
great-grandchildren. But there is not
likely to arrive time when we shall
have to feed the world" with coal.
In 1880 Great Britain had "in sight,"
so to speak-although it was all below
the ground-an available coal deposit
estimated at nearly $4,000, 100000
tons. At the rate of production and
consumption then prevailing, the sup
ply would last about nine hundred
years. The coal measures of Lanca.
shire are 5000 feet lii thickness.
Moreover. there s,r2 rasny countries
which possess coal deposits that have
never been to,:: }::-;'. Besides the
great coal fields of i;irope and Amer
lea, as now worked, there are I'm.
doubtetlly coal deposits in China, in
the Philippines. in Australia in
South America. in British North
America, in Alaska, in the Indian
archipelago and elsewhere.
With one circumstance the Ameri-
can people looking at the matter from
the consumers standpoint, may we'll
be pleased. Europe roes not want
our anthracite coal-the best fuel, on
the whole that the earth has ever pro.
duced. Europe does not understand
the use of anthracite. and is apparent
ly not willing to learn it. 1t calls on
us for Luminous coal, which we can
spare more readily.
The assumption that the coal fields
of Great Britain and America will be
exhausted even at the end of several
centuries is founded on the further
assumption that heat will continue to
be made and power generated in the
much as they are now. But our, in
ventors and chemists hold out the as.
surance that great changes may be
looked for in the methods Of produc.
ing heat and mechanical energy

As to the prevention of unnecessary

Blind has just taken up by means Of

The work of the special committee,

of America, and before another quar-
ter of a century has passed this one

uninvitfng and all but sterile island
in the North Atlantic ocean, ha: been
an outpost of civilization, and during
much of that time it's inhabitants have
led the rest of mankind in the march
OF progress toward an ideal form of
government.
1t was the haven to which the Oh.

gle for existence and the necessity for
thrift developed in the people traits
that made them models the remainder
of mankind would have done we'll to
copy during the middle ages.
The people of Iceland organized a
republic nearly 1000 years ago. They
adopted constitution and were gov.
erned by chosen representatives when
most of the world was being overrun
by the armies of tyrants. They had
trial by jury nearly 200 years before
the Magma Charta was granted to the
people of England. They embraced
Christianity more than 900 years ago,
and long before the European fore.
fathers of the most Of us bad ceased
to pay homace to pagan gG.;s.
With the dawn of Christianity they
took up tie art Of writing. and devel.
oped Wonderfully rich literature of
eddas and sa-as, the riis,ying glory of
remarkable people. They cherished
personal liberty and their freedom as
a people. Their laws relating to the
duties end privileges of citizens, the
care of the poor and the other prob.
lens of salf.goycrnment were centu-
ries in advance of the times, and scme
of them have not been improved uron
since.
The little republic was engulfed in
the wars ti,at involved the Mortimer,
and. after three hundred yeas Of sue
cess. became q dependency of Norway,
and later Of Denmark. The people,
however, never lost those sterling
qualities that had prompted their an.
cestors to establish republic on the
desolate island.
During all the succeeding centuries,
when life was an unceasing struggle,
the Icelanders never were quite SUBJ
dued in spirit. Denmark granted to
the people of the island home rule,
and now it is practically agreed to
have Iceland become an independent
state Of the kingdom of Denmark and
Iceland, the two countries to have one
king and one set of diplomatic repre-.
sentatives.
