As Jungle Zone In 200 Yeai-s 1 Atmospheric Increase of carbon Dioxide Will Alter World's Climate Scientist Tells Engineers Two hundred years from now ele phants will be trumpeting in the Jungles of Connecticut, destroying unless the fruit growers of that day are very careful ilnc orchards of bananas, oranges and nutmegs. That, In part, was one side of the prophecy made Friday nlgh by W. L.

Abbott, chief operating engineer of the Commonwealth Eaison Company of Chicago, the largest public utility company In the world, at the annual meeting in the City Club of the Hartford section of the Amer.can Society of Mechanical Engineers. The other side of the picture was a dismal one. Every fleck of coal will have been taken out of the bowels of the earth and the bins of the coal barons within the next 200 years. Of this mueh Mr. Abbot was certain, proving It by mathematical process based on the present rate of increase in the annual consumption of coal.

When the coal Is gone Industry and commerce will be threatened with it lingering death. Sees Waterfalls Tower Source. Waterfalls will be left as a source of power. But with them alone supplying power and heat and light, Mr. Abbott foresaw the peoples of the globe clustering arounu them "like Hies around molasses." To make the situation interesting.

Mr. Abbott estimated that the population of the earth, with its present rate of growth, will be quadrupled within the coming two centuries. Nations and races would fight each other and all would fight pestilence and famine. But there is hope. Indeed, if Mr.

Abbott's visions are true, the children of 2128 will not be undernourished, shivering cripples, but Abrahams in a land of fat and plenty, ot milk and honey, of grasses and weeds as tall as forest trees of today. Carbon dioxide will work tho miracle, he alleged. Mild Arctic Climate. According to Mr. Abbott, if the carbon dioxide in the there can be increased by a certain percentage, the temperature in the Arctic regions will be raised proportionately.

The vast icefields will then recede 1.000 miles, leaving bare a vast country where wheat will flourish. Not only will the Arctic zones have a milder climate but the temperate zones will become warmer, the temperature here in Connecticut approaching that of the semi-tropics. With warmer climate, vegetation will grow mere densely. Orange orchards and banana plantations will follow as a matter of nature, Mr. Abbot promised.

In addition. Mr. Abbott informed the local branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Increased carbon dioxide content of the air will react on vegetation as It always has; it will cause grasses to grow tall and lush, vegetation to rise to heights never attained since the Carboniferous Age. when ferns grew to a stature of almost 100 feet. Co-incldently, elephants will cease to be classified as circus sights and will enter the class of garden pests along with aphids, boll-weevils and locusts.

Coal Burning Possibilities. Nor did Mr. Abbott stop with an exposition of what might happen if the atmosphere could be loaded with carbon dioxide. He proceeded to explain how the loading would or will be performed. His audience comprising scientists, he did not waste time explaining that carbon dioxide is composed of oxygen, which makes human breathing and life possible, and carbon, which is the essence of coal.

He started by explaining that coal used Is not destroyed. The gases that go up the chimney are composed largely ot carbon and oxygen, carbon dioxide In fact. When all the coal la burned, he pointed out. the carbon that was in It will have been returned to the air. Oucc there, it will begin the task of raising the temperature, withdrawing the Ice-fields, inviting the elephants to the Connecticut Val-lev.

the speaker deduced. Yet even thl process was improved upon bv Mr. Abbott. The latter repeated "what others have said, that vast amounts of coal will never be mined because It Is burled in narrow veins, or in almost inaccessible pockets. Because It will never be mined Is no rexson whv it should not be burned for the sake of saturating the air with carbon dioxide.

Would L'tuitt mcloaa Carton. "Let nations of the world unite." exhorted Mr. Abbott, "and say. 'WC will make use of this carbon that Is more precious than all the diamonds In the Let them get together and agree to set fire to all the coal In narrow veins and abandoned mines throughout the globe. "Let the fires roar and rage through day tfnd night.

In this manner the carbon dioxide id the atmosphere will be increased, the temperature of the Frigid and Temnerate Zones will rise, the icefields will recede 1,000 miles, wheat will be grown In the Arctic regions, rlephants will roam again in tills vicinity. Connecticut will raise 1 ts own oranges, cotton, bananas, Preceding Mr. Abbott's address the local society of mechanical engineers held Its annual banquet and elected R. F. Dow.
