✦ Synopsis

Objections to Siemens' Theory. [3our. Frank. Inst., Newcastle Coal.--Tile Newcastle basin is now yielding an average annual product of 35,000,000 tons. The beds extend under the sea, and there has been some cluestion as to the limiting depth at which they can be worked. Even at the most moderate estimates, it is thought that there are at least seven thousand million tons which can be readily mined, which would be enough to continue the present supply for two hundred years.--Les Mondes, Dec. 2, 1882.
