Loose Optimism.

The ordinary man, if lie can be in
question of the exhaustion of coal sup
plies, and if he does not merely brush it
aside as matter for posterity, usually
consoles himself with the comforting re-
Election that something will turn up to
fill the breach. This loose optimism may
be a touching tribute to the powers OF
scientific workers, who are no doubt eX-
pected to produce the something in the
same way as a conjurer produces a rab-
bit from an empty hat, but it is also n
sign of total lack of the scientific spirit.
Progress in science, Sir William Ram
say insists, consists in developing a spirit
of provision in attempting to forecast
the future, not by vague surmisc, but by
the orderly marshalins of facts and by
come, and chiefly in esdeavoring To con-

reign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, September -, 1911.
Sir William Ramsay, in his recent adj
dress before the British Association at
Portsmouth, devoted d considerable por-
ton of his remarks TO a discussion of
ancient and modern views of the nature
of the chemical elements, in the light Of
recent researches, in which he has had
so large share, on the inert gases Of
the atmosphere and on radium. Like sew
eral distinguished chemists in the past.
he is evidently attracted by the idea that
matter is unitary in it's nature, that what
we know as elements are in some way
compounded Of different proportions IF
some primary material. But whether the
considerations he brought forward sub
stantially strengthen the case Tor such a
view, from an experimental as opposed
TO a theoretical and sentimental stand
point is perhaps open TO doubt.

Conservation of Coal.

In these islands coal is the only con-
siderable source Of energy at command,
and on England power to produce it at
relatively cheap price depends her COM
mercial supremacy and her ability TO
compete with other European nations.
Yet. in spite of its paramount Importance
for them. the English behave as il the
store We're ineXhdustible. While Belgium
raises three and half tons of coal per
head of her population every year ard
Germany only two and half tons, Eng
land raises six tons. and IL she continues
TO draw on her reserves at the same in
creasing rate as during the last forty
years they will be exhausted in less than
two centuries. In these circumstances ii
is plainly Engiand's duty to promote
economy in the use of coal by every pos
sible means. and careful consideration is
deserved by Sir William Ramsay's sug-
eestion that, following the example OF
America, England should establish a con-
servation commission, charged with the

Energy Contained in Radium.

energy concentrated in radum and liEer-
ated during its dsinteeraticn led Sir
William Ramsay to the subject OF the

and to Great Britain in particular Ra-
dunn itself probably exists in quantities
far too small to be or any practical use
as source of energy, but supposlnS tha.s
like it, the other so-cal4ed elements are

FOSS' CHANCES SAME
Primary Fails to Reduce His
Presidential Prospects.
HIS PARTY STANDS BY HIM
Bay State Men Here Don't Think
Vote Republican Received Will
Affect His Standing.

Granting that Gov Eugene y. Foss
| ever was or could be seriously considered
as a candidate for President or Vice
President the recent Massachusetts pri-
mary election has not diminished his
chances in the opinion of Massachusetts
men here familiar with affairs of the
Bay state. The large lead of Louis A
rockingham over his two opponents-a
ma iority. in fact-has encouraged the re-
publicans for the election campaign. but
it Is noteworthy also that Gov. Foss was
supported by his own party with una
nmity which his opponents did not eN-
pect
Boston is democratic city. and her
enormous vote is almost always the de-
Gliding factor in a close state contest
Foss received in the primary much
more than twice as many votes as the
republicans east for their three candi
dates thus indicating the intention of
the Boston democracy to stand by ross
and send him ont of Boston with mar
gin which probably will overcome the
lead of rockingham at the polls in the
republican but more SparSely settled sec
tons of the state.
on the other hand Gov. F'oss received
only a few more votes outside Boston
than in that city which may indicate
that he is not popular in republican
stronsholds as he was last year. froth-
ingham on the other hand, received
seven times a many votes outside Bos-
ton in the city.
The argument that rockingham re-
ceiyed a larger proportionate vote than
Foss and therefore will be elected, has
a hole in it, however. for the repub-
licans were drawn out by a hot three
cornered contest and the democrats had
practically no other candidate than Foss.
Only Half of Vote Cast.
As test of the primary system the
result is held TO be more successful than
was expected a week before election, one
marty casting 60 per cent or It's vote ana
another -; per cent. or about half the
total vote of both parties. This is SAID
to be doing fully as we'll as in some OF
the western states. where the state Pri-
mary is an older institution.
There is however, strong local ooJec-
ton TO compelling men to declare their
party preferences before allowing them
to vote in the primary.
This requirement is empha sizing the de-
mand that the primary law shall be SO
revised that the ticket will be the same
as for election and be voted for regard
less of party In no other way, the re-
formers declare. can the best men be
nominated for office. 1t is interesting as
a matter of historical fact to recall that
away back in the seventeenth century
Massachusetts had what virtually is a
state primary election, and carried II on
for fifty years.
