WHAT THEY THINK.

China Mail,

British Coal Measures, Most people have long known that the British coal measuros aro not inexhaustible. Sir Wil liam Ramsey, the well-known scientist, places their producing limit at 176 years, though other. investigators of equal eminence: are inclined to longthen the curve somewhat and extend the proba- ble term of their productiveness. to at least the year 2,200 A.D. The prospect; whioli ever way wo look at it, is rather disquieting, for it is upon our coal supply that the very life of the British nation depends. It is from our choap, abundant and comparatively easily won coal that we have hitherto been able to obtain and hold the position in the world that we now occupy [215 and which some nation are sup

There is apparently no information available at pres Bont as to the disposal of the tonnage dues curious stato of, affairs indeed—but the time must surely come when the new Government will have to show that it is not neglecting its duty to shipping.
