When Coal Is Gone

From the Electric News Service.
 While the demand for coal grows by leaps and bounds the supply is rap idly decreasing. Coal, like the endur- ing rocks which encase It, is defi- mite material. It does not grow, like wood. Therefore the supply may be accurately figured.
 It is only few years ago that coal began to be used in large quan- titles. Before the perfection of the steamboat. the locomotive and the large stationary steam engine the de- mand for coal began. Since that day the demand for the fuel has increased by millions and millions of tons.
 The industrial growth of the world is due to the substitution of coal en- ergy for the energy of man and beast. And the supply of coal being more or less limited, the casual read CT wonders what we will do for power when our coal supply is exhausted. The electrical engineer answers. Utilize our water power, by changing it into electrical enegy.'
 Coal strata have taken millions Of years to form and their extent is there fore definite and limited. If the pres ent increasing rate of coal consump- ton Is maintained, it seems highly probable that coal will be practically extinct in about 300 years. The fields of Ignite, peat and other poorer grades of carbonaceous deposits will not begin to meet the fuel demand. Nor will the forests that are rapidly being razed Scientific reforestation, however. may supply the demand for the carbon needed in the chemical processes of metallurgy and the arts. The supply of mineral oil and natural gas is also definite.
 Utilization of the. energy of the waves has been attempted without much success. Wind power has been employed and is capable of greater use where the unreliability of the winds can be compensated for by some energy-storing means. Direct utiliza- tion of the suns heat has been accom- plished in a few places with apparent success; it is capable of great deve1- opment in those places blessed with almost daily sunshine. The greatest hope for the future, however, lies in the useful development of the energy of water falls and streams. Rivers should be developed nto only for min. imum flow, but through river control for average continuous flow, At pres ent the entire power demand of the United States is about 37,000,0 900 horse power Through the development of all our available water powers we could produce 100000. 900 horse power with out using any fuel Through long dis tance electrical transmission the en- crgy developed could be distributed over a wide extended area. thus sup plying parts of the country remote from power sites.

 "To those who obey the Sixth Con- mapdment, Thou Shalt Not Kill,'" Zona Gales book, Hearts Kindred is dedi- cated.
 The teaching is summed up in a single sentence on the very last page Of tn.s most interesting story:
 That the people are hearts kindred, met here for ther world work, which the nations must cease to interrupt" The scene is laid partly in the far west partly in Chicago, and the climax coules at Washington when women from the war ring and the neutral nations alike meet in the capitol to protest against the war. declaring that we, the women of the world, have banded ourselves together to demand that war be abolished" And it is not only the women who speak. The cid soldier who has seen many battle fields indorses their demands, telling them You will win. You are the voice of tomorrow

THE GREAT ECONOMIC VALUE
 OF 314 EGGS IN 365 DAYS
BEARDED GOLDEN POLISH

These races of Polish fowls were first known as the Crested Dutch. It is prob able that they came from Italy to the Netherlands, thence to western Europe, and later to America.
 The first of these varieties was the White Crested Black; and from these the Dutch breeders obtained the silver and golden Polish, some with crests only, and others with both crests and boards. The Golden Polish, as shown above. are of the latter variety, and they have inn mense crests and boards, which almost hide the eyes. Their plumage is gener- ally golden tan in color, each feather laced or edged with brilliant black.
 The hens are excellent layers of large white shelled eggs, so that for a home flock that will be a delight to the eye,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-26

as well as a producer for the table, the Golden Polish will be found both pleas urabe and profitable. The hens are non- sitters, hence their eggs must be matched by other hens or by artificial means. The chicks are rather delicate, unless kept dry Damp ground or damp coops are fatal to young Polish They should never be reared in large open spaces, as their crests prevent them from seeing the hawk in time -te avoid capture.
 In size these fowls compare with the Leghorn and weigh about the same. They are very fine boned and carry a larger proportion of desirable meat The legs are blue, or, in old specimens white; the skin is white, and each fowl has a round protuberance on It's skull from which the feathers of the crest grow
