OIL SUPPLY WON'T LAST LONG
Consumption 10 Already Exceeding
Production, According to Last
Years Figures.

The future of petroleum supply OF
our country is being deservedly given
an increasing amount of considera.
ton. Last year our production was
344. 100000 barrels, against conSump-
tfon of 397 900, 900 barrels.
The consensus among leading geolo-
glsts Is that the total available amount
OF oil underground in the United
States Is now very much less than Is
commonly supposed, and, taking into
account the fact that our consumption
or Oil Is increasing at the rate OF about
50,0OO,000 barrels each year the prac-
dcal exhaustion of our home supply is
variously predicted by experts TO be
expected In fifteen or twenty years un-
less n very large production Is OBJ
tained from foreign fields to supple
ment our own production.
For our future supply Mexico is
generally regarded as the best hope.
but Mexico has its limitations both in
the quality of oil obtainable and In
the vision Of its existing government

SCIENTIFIC WORK IN RUSSIA
An Ambitious Campaign Of Survey
Work Along Siberian Coast
is Undertaken.

One of the most surprising pieces
Russia Is that in spite of untoward
political conditions an ambitious cam
pntgn of survey work in the Arctic
ocean along the Siberian coast was
undertaken In the summer OF 1918 I'M
der the direction of the Russian hy-
geographic Office.
A program of these undertakings
was published last November In the
Complies Rendus of the French acad-
emy Of sciences by the widely known
oceanographer. Gen. J. G. Shokalski,
who is still in Petrograd, so far as
known. Subsequently General ShOkal-
ski has found means of sending let
ters on the same subject to some of
his scientific friends in the United
States.
The explorations were to be car
ried out by two parties. One, work
ing from the White sea eastward TO,
Cape Chelyunskin, was to be under
the command of Captain ViIkitskii,
the dsCoverer of Nicholas II Land
and the leader of the expedition
which made the northeast passage
from Bering strait to the Atlantic
ocean in 191415. Another party, sur
veying from Cape Chelyunsldn to Be
ring strait, was to be commanded by
Capt. p. A. NOvopashennii. Several
new radio stations were TO be estab-
lished to facilitate the work Of the ex-
peditiOns.-Scientific American.
