According tn some geologists petroleum is being accumulated at least as fast as man can burn it; and two American experts have extended the idea to the examination of coral reefs. They have crushed the. outer layers oi coral reel's in the Gulf of Florida and have extracted from them waxlike substances rich in the origins of fuel especially of oil fuel. Their' conclusion is that the ocean's coral reefs are vast reservoirs of the petroleum of a faraway | future.
