Rec. 10.10 a.m. LONDON, July 9. "We are not nearly so well off fori metals and minerals as most of its imagine," said Dr. William Ctillen in j his presidential address to the Society bf Chemical Industry. 'There are hot unlimited supplies available. "Chemists and metallurgists one hundred years hence will have plenty to do in the way of finding substitutes. We seldom stop to ponder how much the present-day civilisation depends on metals and minerals, yet we are exhausting our reserves at a very rapid rate. To a certain extent we are exploiting the metal contents of the ocean. There may be further surprises in store from this unlimited natural source."
