After Coal, What?
By Archibald Henderson

: In an economic and indus
trial era, in a power age, the
most important and indispens-
able factor is energy. AS our
Industrial plants become more
numerous and more compli-
Gated, as the public demands
for power-driven and power
supplied instruments become
more intensive and more In
satiable, the problem of power
supply becomes more acute.
One Of the great economic
and political problems to come
before the American public in
the near future is the question
Of power control. Shall power,
the most essential factor in an
industrial civilization, fall into
the hands of a trust or group
of allied trusts? Or shall
power remain subject to the
direction Of a non-partisan
board appointed by the Govern
Inent?
No one deeply interested in
scientific questions affecting the
immediate density Of civiliza-
tion can forget the profound
impression created by Sir VIII
liam Ramsay just 90 years ago.
regarding Great Britain's coal
supply.
At a meeting before the Brit
dsh Association for the adj
vancement of science this eau
tiouS and conservative scientist
made q prediction which sounded
highly spectacular and alarmist.
I carefully considered words,
which somehow bore the sup
pressed thrill Of a prophecy by
n. q. Wells or j. B. s. Hal
dane, Ramsay predicted that
Great Britain'S coal supply
would be exhausted in q cen
tury and three-quarterS.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DE-. Louis q. Bisch

~~@~~~~S
The human body should be
looked upon as a machine. AS
in every machine there is q
certain structure which, in op-
Grafton, performs a certain
kind Of work.
In the performance Of such
work energy is necessary and
this energy in the ordinary ma
chine is supported by oil, gas
or electricity.
In every machine. also, there
is q certain amount Of wear
and tear, and, after a time, the
machine wears out and is use
less.
The human machine is a
parallel example Of an ordin-
ary machine Of iron or steel
or wood or whatnot.
Only it is q much more re-
markable one, not only because
it does not wear out so quickly,
but more especially because it
is q living thing that keeps on
repairing itself.
Food and air supply the
means by which energy is pro-
duced in the human machine.
It takes the place Of the coal,
electricity. etc.
The wear and tear is also
taken care Of by the convert
ing Of food into products which
the tissues need.
The burning Of food products
for energy purposes Is called
oxidation" The wearing down
processes Of the tissues is
known as "catabolism": the
building up as "anaboliSm" 8 the
two together as "metabolism."
F'orty-one per cent Of the
human machine is composed OF
muscles and tendonS. The bony
skeleton accounts for another
16 per cent, is made up Of
skin, chest and abdominal or
ganS, the brain and the blood.
Much waste in the perform
ance Of its work is given off by
the human machine.
The kidneys alone excrete
about three pintS Of water daily
and the skin one and one-haK
pints. IA

truly sensational pronounce
ment. Our hard boiled public
today always is suspicious that
there is a concealed publicity
stunt in startling scientific
propheces. But a careful check
up on RamSey's data and cal
culationS showed that his PIE
diction was conservative rather
than rash.
England's then world su.
premacy, on the sea and in
industry, was generally recog-
nized as being dependent upon
coal.
Far from restricting the coal
mined in the British Isles to
home consumption, an enor-
nous proportion is sold at a
great profit to other (chiefly
European) countries.
Actually, England produces
about 230,0O0,000 tons of coal
every year. At this ruinous
rate Of production the supply
may be exhausted long before
the time set by Sir William
Ramsay.
OF course; there are problem
attic factors in Ramsay's predic-
ton. It Is impossible to pre-
dict, accurately, the coal meas
ure Of the world.
Vast new supplies may be un-
earthed In ice-covered Ant
arctica. Nor has it been de-
termined how deep it is pos
sible for the mine to excavate
coal at a profit, and how end
leSSly ramifying the Subterra-
mean coal beds are.
But even granting the uncer-
tainty Of these factors, it is
clear that the world is near
the end in, it's coal resources.
What can the world do then to
supply energy in incalculable
amount to do the worlds
work?

that the Government clerks,
