CITIES TO BECOME VILLAGES.
—o —-- As England has taught the worl<| how to use coal, she ought to think of teaching the world how to use coal without waste. In another hundred years .t’he English hamlets of contented working folk that have'become cities of luxurious people will decay again into hamlets, inhabited by a discontented, poverty-stricken population which will curse its ancestors for their prodigality. They will not curse us for using coal, perhaps, but they will know how to economise coal and so they will curse us for our ignorance. We in England are wasting 900 times the amount of our national debt every year.—Professor John Perry in Nature.
