Scientists Hope for Discovery
Which Will Release Great
Energy Held in Ger
tain Ele m ents.

TN one hundred and seventy-hve years
the coal fields of the United Kingdom
II will be exhausted. according TO Sir
William Ramsay. who recently made this
assertion in an address at Portsmouth be-
fore the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, OF which he is the
president
So dolorouS a statement from SO high an
authority in the world OF science was made
even more narrowing and unpopular by
reason of the failure Of Dr. Ramsay TO
point to any practical relief for the disas-
ter he describes as impending. He did not
hold out any specific hope that by the time
the coal of the kingdom is gone any other
source OF energy can replace it. And then
Sir William said thing before he left the
platform that night which scientists the
world over are clutching at with hopeful
earnestnesS.
Sir William referred TO the tremendous
energy conserved in the transformahle Gle
ments in radium. and added that this on
crgy might AT any time be loosed by the
discovery Of a catayzer. Then con-
tinued Sir William. 1T is not too much TO
say that the whole future Of our race
would be altered"
1t was welcome ray OF comfort follow
ing the speakers statement that England's
commercial supremacy and her power Of
competing with other European nations
are obviously governed, so far as her people
can see, by the relative prices of coal, and
when those prices rise owing to the ap-
preaching exhaustion Of her supplies Great
Britain may look forward 10 the near ap-
proach of famine and misery. Sir William
had also said that in England, at least, it
would be impractcable 10 attempt TO
