QUEST FOR FRESH POWER ENERGY
TO COMPENSATE FOR EXHAUSTED COAL SUPPLIES. London, September 10. Sir Charles Parsons, addressing the British Association, said that failing unexpected discoveries in science, such as tho harnessing of latent and atomic energy, England's great position could not be maintained indefinitely. Long Were our coal was exhausted the population would gradually migrate to countries where natural sources of energy, chiefly water-power, were most abundant. Sir Charles Parsons entered a strong plea for a bore-hole, to tap tin: intor'or heat of the earth, as a possible source of power. A bore-hole.could be dug twelve miles deep at a cost of fivo millions, and could be extended in the granite strata to thirty miles.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn.
