Cenozoic, nearly as 4:2:1. Now it is plain, if
we can by any means compute the time of the
Cenozoic age, we can approximate the ages
prior to it.
Cd. During q small part of this Cenozoic
age, say one-eighth of it, was cut the great
gorge or canon of Colorado. This gorge is 300
miles in length and from 5000 to 5000 feet
deep, and must have required at least 100000
years. and by some geologists reconed 1s,OO0,-
900. Let us, for accuracy, take 100000 as
the necessary time multiply this by 8 and you
get the Cenozoic age, 8O0O0,0O0 years. The
Mesozoic 16O,OO0,O00, and the Palazoic $780,
100000. From the close of the Azoic to the
age of man, we are pretty safe in estimatine
$50, 100000 of years. 1t is hardly worth while
to add in the little time of 5000 years in which
we have been here, especially as there is an
immeasurable margin at the beginning, reach
ing far back of what we are pleased to call the
Azoic age.
In previous article we spoke of the inter.
walls of space in the vast systems of worlds
ana fOund ourselves pOWerless 10 compute TIE
distances 1t is but reasonable conjecture Of
science that time-intervals correspond exactly
to space intervals; if so, we may rest assured
of two facts: lst Our own absolute fniteness
and ID The unthinkable infnity of intelligence
which comprehends the end from the begin
ming Such an omnipresent and omnicient in
telligence is the Creator and Governor of ou
terrestrial abode.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.-What a won
der it is that in the present age of education
and refinement SO many men and women are
found who cannot read and write. One of a
sensitive nature would think that such persons
from pure shame, would at least learn to write
their name, if nothing more, so that in Ordina-
ry business matters the making of a cross for
signature might to large extent, be done
away with; but it seems to be a fact, lamenta-
BILE as it may be, that persons who have been
allowed to grow up ignorant of the first prin-
cpes of education, seldom take the pains in
after life to acquire any education IN that d.
recton Many persons Of this class learn from
observation, and often master language to such
an extent that they seem upon the surface to
be very well informed, but, alas, the tell-tale
mark when they are called upon to record their
name, takes away that respect that would 9TH
erwise be bestowed upon them.
We cannot but lose all patience when full
grown man says. Il cannot learn to read and
write. | am too Old Too old, indeed! Not
too old to learn trade, to drive sharp bar
gain. to possess houses and lands, to hold notes.
bonds and mortgages, which. if printed in let
ters a foot long. they would be unable to tell
the first letter or word upon them; but simply
too old to learn to write their own names
What a shame to hear a man make such con
fession as this. Why, a little child of FIVE or
six wears of age would not think the task a
hard one to learn to write his name in few
DAYS, and we undertake to say that man OF
any intelligence at all can learn to write his
name in one day. He could in that time learn
to make the proper lines mechanically, even
though he did not understand one letter.
We should of course, have sympathy for this
class so far as we reasonably can and not scorn
them because they were unfortunate enough 10
be born in land where ignorance reigned su-
preme-at the same time, we should not let
our sympathy extend so far as to excuse such a
thing in man or woman who has lived in this
enlightened land any length OF time, where all
can learn if they wish. The only true remedy
that we can see for this great evil is compuiso'
! ry education This, of course, would not help
the matter as regards those who have already
grown to man and womanhood, but with such
law strictly enforced, the effect upon the next
generation would be wonderful. 1t may be
true that in some isolated cases hardship would
ensue by its adoption, but the amount of good
it would do, would be so great in comparison
that the small amount of hardships created
would dwindle into insignifcance.-

Or seen the flashing Tilamook
And aped its tunes.

MILD WINrERs.-The mildness of the
present season. though unusual, bears no
comparison to that of some winters "long
gone by In ll72 the temperature was
so high that leaves came out on the trees
in January, and birds Matched their broods
in February. In 1889 the winter was
equally mild, and the maidens of Cologne
wore wreaths of violets and corn flowers at
Christmas and on Twelfth Day. In 1921
the trees lowered in the month Of March,
and the vines in the month of April.
Cherries ripened in the same month, and
grapes appeared in May. In 1872 the
trees were covered with leaves in Janu-
airy, and the birds Matched their young in
February, as in 1172; in 1886 the same
thing was repeated, and it is added that
the corn was in the ear at Easter. There
was in France neither snow nor frost
throughout the winters Of 1888, 1907,
1909, 1917 and 1859; finally, in 1862,
even in the north of Germany, the stoves
were not lighted, and trees lowered in
February. Coming to later dates, the
winter Of 1861, when itthundered at
Paris on tho 2Sth of January, and that Of
1866, the year Of the great inundation Of
the Seine, may be mentioned az exception.
