Scientific Discussions
by Garrett P. Serviss

| That King Coal is not in immedi-
ate danger of being dethroned by
! King Waterpower is indicated by
| some figures presented by the Eng
| ish engineer, Charles A. Parsons who
! quotes the estimate of 1000, ,000,-
100000 tons as representing the
probable total remaining resources
| of the world in coal From other
sources we find that the total an
nual coal production of the world
at present is in the neighborhood of
100000 tons. Dividing the first
figures by the last, it appears that.
supposing the present rate of pro-
duction and consumption to continue
Unchanged, it would require 1877
years to exhaust the worlds coal
supply.
That is long enough for a good
many empires to rise and fall, and
also long enough to give plenty of
time to inventive science TO find
! cheap and effective substitutes for
coal. However. it must be admitted
that every year the difficulty and
/ the cost of extracting the coal from
the earth increases, while some long
worked coal fields are giving signs OF
approaching exhaustion. This seems
to be particularly true of England.
who, says Mr.. Parsons, "owes her
modern greatness to the early de-
velopment of her coal" although
she is now using up her resources
in coal so much more rapidly than
most other countries that, in his
opinion, it may eventually be
cheaper for her to import coal than
to try to continue obtaining her sup
ply from her impoverished seams.
Water Power Scarcely Developed
Mr.. Parsons says it takes about
eight tons of average coal to main
tain one horsepower of electrical en-
ergy for one year. Now, in Great
Britain, there are not, all told, more
than 10000 horsepower derivable

of railway men broke their contracts and stopped work without notice in complete disregard of the effect their actions would have on the persons and property of ordinary citizens in their charge.
 They inflicted damage on innumer- able people, left food the people de- pended upon for subsistence to go to waste, put vast numbers to great ex- pense by leaving them stranded with out conveyance, and inflicted great losses upon many by preventing them from reaching destinations. The damages to which they are liable in law are vastly greater than the amount now being withheld.
 ''If an early resumption of work occurs, different considerations may arise. In the meantime, the country is still subjected to unexampled in- jury by the railway mems action, and, in these circumstances, the govern ment would not be justified in handing over to the strikers sum which would be used for prolonging a strug- gle undertaken without any consid- eration for the welfare of the public and which is endangering the whole life of the nation"

At that time no hour had been fixed for the renewal of the mediation effort, but shortly after noon it was learned that deputation of the transport men and associated unions had gone to confer with the premier and the ministers.
 Earlier dn the day, J. H. Thomas, the railway unions secretary, an- nounced that the members of the de- putation which took part in the Downing street conference yesterday were unanimous in support of the na-

The government had insisted that work must be re- stunned by the railway strikers before the negotiations could be reopened, but it appeared that the labor lead CTS objected both to this proposition and to the carrying out of the. govern rent's order holding back the pay of men for the last week they worked before the strike.
 Instructions to the miners organ iZation as to their attitude towards the strike were issued by Robert Snlil- lie, their leader, today. All the min ers' federations were advised against precipitate action in the present june ture, but the miners were ordered not to undertake the duties of striking railroad men.

OF
 FOREIGN WARS
 HOLD MEETING Report Made By Committee on Looking Up Wounded
 Men in Hospitals. LARGE CLASS OF
 NEW MEMBERS Comrade Lashar Appointed on Staff of Commander For Drive.

At an overflow meeting of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars of the United States last night at their lodge rooms, 189 State street, a detailed report was made by the committee in charge of looking up wounded, crippled and sick overseas men in the local hos pitals.
 When it was announced that Ed ward J. Price, whose home is in the North avenue extension, was inca pacita ted for work from the effects of gas and wounds, a fund of $T0O was immediately raised and a, sub- stantial check out of that amount was inln ediately voted to take care of the immediate needs of the man.
 It was also announced by the in vestigating committee that while Price was serving in France, his wife found it impossible to secure the al- lottments from her husbands pay for ten months. These allottments are still due.
 The case was immediately put on record and the details forwarded to erans of Foreign Wars in Washing ton, which will give it prompt atten- tion.
 It was also announced that accord ing to orders from National Head quarters all service men who have had trouble with the Vocational Board, Allottm ents, Liberty Bonds or back pay, to bring their troubles to the nearest Veterans of Foreign Wars post and that they would receive prompt and careful attention.
 A large class of new mem bers was inducted into the order last night among whom were Joseph J. Devine, attorney at law and Sergeant Con- nery of the Traffic Squad.
 Comrade Thomas H. Lashar, has been appointed National Aide on the staff of the Commander-in ?chief and in this capacity will have complete charge of the drive for membership which will sweep all over Southern New England within the next few
