Coal and oil as sources of power may become obsolete as flint and tinder if experiments of French scientists are successful.
The experiments are no quasi-theoretical laboratory investiga- tion but practical inquiries in intimate contact with the natural energies which the savants hope to be able to put to work for man- kind.
No less than five solutions are being considered for the grave problem of what the world will do for power when the supplies of oil and coat are exhausted.

The father of these ideas, It might be sald, is Dr. Georges Claude, mem-is ber of the Academy of Sciences, who is now working of the coast of Cuba, constructing a pipe, some 8,000 feet long into the sea by which he hopes to demonstrate that the thermal energy of the sea can be made to work for humanity.
