OIL AND COAL.
THE WORLD’S RESOURCES. BERLIN, Tuesday. Professor Rinz, addressing the Association of German Chemists, emphasised the fact that tho world’s resources of oil and coal were slowly nearing exhaustion. Unless the white races were to succumb to the coloured races, the whites must solve the problem of tapping the heat of the tropics in order to provide light, heat and power. Recent inventions sucli as synthetic nitrogen, liquid coal, and helium from oxygen seemed to warrant optimism regarding the further domination of whites, but it would be better if the nations, instead of lighting each other, were united in the struggle to bring the tropical warmth from the valley of the Nile to Europe. —(A. and N.Z.).
