Evolution of Man Eoreseen.

In one of his recent lectures Sir Oli- yer Lodge, eminent English scientist announced that the earth would prob- ably continue to exist for 2O,OOO.OOO years more. These are, of course, round numbers. Some scientists esti- mate that the earth will live for ten times this age. There have been ami mals of one kind and sanother on this planet for fully this length of time. The dinosaurs are believed to have lived through some such period. The age of man, which Is probably only few thousand years, seems the mer- est trife by comparison. When we consider how man has developed dur ing recorded history, which is less than ten thousand years, we may hope that he will evolve to an infinitely finer. type in the future.-Boys' Life.

FUTURE AUTO MOTIVE POWER
Interesting Speculation as to What Will Take the Place of Fast
 Diminishing Gasoline.

Gasoline will continue to go up in price. A few years from now we shall have to use something else as fuel for our automobiles. The ques- tion is, what?
 The government bureau of mines thinks that we shall get the requisite substitute from coal. In every city which will extract from the coal q light oil available for the purpose. The coke can then be used in our furnaces and for other ordinary fuel purposes.
 One ton of soft coal in the process of coking yields about three gallons of oil first rate for motor fuel. At present prices the heat in the oil has 20 times the commercial value of the same amount of heat in the form of coal.
 Germany during part of the war was practically shut off from every supply of mineral oil. She depended for her motor fuel entirely on coal, putting the latter through by-product coking plants. Before long we shall be obliged to do the same thing in the United States.
 Part of the light oil in coal Is toluol. which in time of war is needed for the manufacture of TINT. Modern warfare requires enormous quantities of the substance for making high-explosive shells. During the first part of the war the allies came near defeat for lack of it.
 Another by-product from the coking of one ton of soft coal is 5000 cubic feet of gas, available for cooking and other household uses. The coke it. self makes an admirable smokeless fuel for furnaces, If people could only be persuaded to use it.

Big Trade In Old Papers.

A curious item of commercial news Is that the east coast district of the island of Sumatra in 1918 imported 9S6,S35 pounds of secondhand news papers" from the United States. Im- ports of the same kind of merchandise from January 1 to September 1, of last year, were 572,585 pounds The papers are wanted to cover young sprouts of rubber trees and sugar cane. The cli- mate of the island is very hot-as might be surmised from the circum- stance that the equator runs through the middle of it-and, to prevent the sprouts burning up in the fierce sum- shine, sheets of paper are spread over them. Old newspapers serve the pur- pose very we'll, each sheet being held down with stones at the corners. In Hawaii the same method of protection is adopted, but in that archipelago sheets of rice paper, imported from Japan, are used.
