NX) PRACTICAL SUBSTITUTE FOR GOAL
By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. Received 3.1, 9.25 p.m. London, August 31.
The British Association of Chemists is meeting at. Portsmouth. Mr. Ramsay in his presidential address, referring to sources of energy, declared that scientific advance in Great Britain was hi»dered by defective technical education. The country should cultivate the application of trained intelligence to all forms of national activity. Referring to the exha/ustion of British coal supplies, he said they might look forward to the approach of a famine and mi&ery. The British Science Guild had investigated the available sources of energy, and found no practical substitute for coal. They must look to a more economical use to prolong its life, and the nation must adopt legislative measures to prevent waste. The Guild computed that the British coal measures at the present rate of working would be exhausted in 175 years.
