THE BORE HOLE.
SCHJNTISTS ON THE FUTURE ENERGY. By Telegraph.—Press Alan.—Copyt'ght. London, Sept. 10. Sir Charles Parsons, addressing the British Association, said that, failing unexpected discoveries in science, such as the harnessing of latent molecular and atomic energy, England's great position could not be maintained indefinitely. Long before our coal was exhausted the population would gradually migrate to •ountries where natural sources of energy, chiefly water power, were most abundant.
Sir C. Parsons entered a strong plea for the bore hole as a possible source of power. A bore hole could be dug twelve miles deep at a cost of five millions, and could be extended in granite strata to thirty miles.
