CARRIER.

That which gives value to carrier-pigeons
is not only fancy, but use. The homing or
Antwerp pigeons have long been among the
messengers of generals, and their use is not
superseded by the telegraph. The invention
of micro-photography made them, indeed,
during the siege of Paris, even more useful
than at any Of the earlier famous sicges in
which We know them to have been en-
ployed. 1t is only since 1916 that a great
London b%anking-house ceased to despatch
pigeons as a regular post between London
and Paris. The pigeons for this service flew

MISC III A N E Q U.s..
LATE VIEWS OF THE AGE OF THE
WORLD.

Biologists, astronomers, and physicists
alike have hitherto been baffied in their at
tempts to set up any satisfactory kind of
chronometer which will approximately mea-
sure geological time, and thus give us some
clue to the antiquity of our globe. It is
therefore worth noting that Mr.. Mellard
Reade, of Liverpool, has lately contributed
to the Royal Society a very suggestive pa
per, in which he endeavors to grapple with
the question by employing the limestone
rocks of the earth's crust as an index to geo.
logical time. Limestones have been in
course Of formation the earliest geological
periods, but it would appear that the later
found strata are more calcareous than the
earlier, and that there has been a gradually
progressive increase Of calcareous matter.
The very extensive deposition of carbonate
OF lime over wide areas Of the ocean bottom
at the present day is sufficiently attested by
the recent soundings OF the Challenger,
According to the authors estimate, tie sedi-
mcntary crust Of the earth is at least one
mile in average actual thickness, Of which
probably one-tenrh consists of calcareons
matter. In seeking the origin of this calca-
reous matter, it is assumed that the print
tive rocks OF the original crust were of the
nature of granite or basaltic rocks. By the
disintegration OF such rocks, calcareous and
other sedimentary deposits have been
formed. The amount of lime salts in water
which drain districts made up of GRANTEES
and basalts is found, by a comparison of
analyses, to be on All average about 1913
parts in 100 900 parts of water. 1t is further
assumed that the excessed areas Of lgneous
rocks, taking an average throughout all
geological time. will bear to the exposures
OF sedimentary rocks a ratio of about one to
nine. From these and other data, Mr..
Reade concludes that the elimination of the
calcareous matter now found in all the sedi-
mentary strata must have occupied at least
60O,O 600, 900 of years. This, therefore, repre-
sents the minimum age Of the world. The
author infers that the formation Of the Lau-
r~entian. Cambrian. and Silnrian strata must
have occupied about 200, 000.0 900 of years !;
the Old Red Sandstone, the Carboniferous,
and the Poikilific systems, another 200. OOO,-
600; and all the other strata, the remaining
200, DOC. 900. Mr.. Iseade is, therefore, led to
believe that geological time has been enor-
Inousiy in excess of the limits urged by Ger
tain physicists that it has been ample to
allow for all the changes which, on the hy-
pothesis of evolution. nave occurred in the
organic world.-London (Eng.) Academy.

Several months ago, commercial agency

Hamburg, Germany, gentleman was ap-
pointed to that port. The official reports in
the department of state indicated that the
revenue of the agency had for eight or ten
years past ranged from 81 400 to 81, 600 per
year. Upon the arrival of the new CONNER
cial agent, Mr.. Lazar, inquiry was made into
the condition of the business of the place,
and he ascertained that the legitimate pro-
ceeds of the Office amounted to some $76 per
annum, and that the consul at Hamburg,
MIR. j. M. Wilson, of Ohio, under
provision of law authorizing the consul to
retain in the aggregate $1,000 of the fees
received at the various agencies within his
jurisdiction, had contrived by an evasion of
the statute to transfer to the agency at Har-
burg large share of the yerifcation of in
voices which properly belonged to his own
consulate, by having it appear in tho certiG-
Gates that such veri6cation was actually done
at Harburg. From the fees thus unlawfulIy
credited to the Harburg agency the consul at
Hamburg derived, according to the informa-

new agent to continue this prac.

turning to the United States, laid the in

Changes of Lite.

Change is the common feature of soci
ety-of life.
Ten years convert the population o!
schools ini0 men and women, the young
into fathers and matrons, make and Mai
fortunes, and bury the last generation
but one.
Twenty years convert infants into
lovers, fathers and mothers, decide mems
fortunes and distinctions, convert active
men and women into crawling drivelers,
and bury all preceding generations.
Thirty years raise an active generation
from nonenity, change fascinating beau
ties into bearable old women, converts
lovers into grandfathers, and bury the
active generation or reduce them to de-
crepitude or imbecility.
Forty years, alas! change the face of
all society. Infants are growing old, the
bloom of youth and beauty has passed
away. two active generations have been
swept from the stage of life, names once
cherished are forgotten, unsupported can.
didates for fame have started up from the
exhaustless womb of nature.
And in fifty years, mature, ripe fifty
years-half century-what tlemenduos
changes occurl How time writes his
sublime wrinkles everywhere, in rock,
river, forest, and cities, hamlets, villages ;
in the nature Of men, and the destinies
and aspects of all civilized society!
Let us pass on to eighty years-and
what do we desire to see to comfort US in
the world9 Our parents are gone; our
children have passed away from us into

and desperate battle Of life. Our old

parents, for children, for friends in the

Hunting with the Nizam's Cl,eeth.

We move forward, bound for some
knobs and rocks which command an un.
interrupted view Of the whole plain.
Herds of deer are scattered about, sazily
crouching under the tress, or feeding
upon the finer heritage on the margin Of
the pools. Two cradle-iike native carts
ihackcries, )made of sticks and ropes.
each drawn by Al small bullock, are how
cling abou. in the distance, and each was
lying down o" its floor a hunting chectah,
hooded, fastened AID dinnerless. The
chase begins. From our vantage ground
We see one cart slowly and cautiously
driven toward a herd Of antelopes, and
app oaching them unseen and unnoticcd.
When within some forty or fifty wards
the cart stops, a keeper jumps into 1t and
slips and uDhoods the cheetah, who is
down on the turf in twinkGng Of an eye.
He sees the grazing animals, and forth
with he begins to work toward them.
Step by step stealthily he advances, stalk
ing every inch with measured, cat-like
football and taking advantage of every
inequality of the ground. every tuft of
grass, and every little bowlder of rock,
to cover his approach. Pace by pace
oawards-now dead stop and nearer,
behind granite bowlder of rock he
lays crouched for ar instant, then on
to its crest he crawls, and now
with an overwhelming leap, tremen-
dous bound, and he is flying through the
air, into the very midst of the herd. A
large fat buck-the consort of many
! does, the paterfamiIias Of many fawns,
and who has been browsing little apart
from bis household, has attracted the
cheetah's attention, but the buck has
seen his dread enemy just in time, and
| flies for dear life over the scrub, over the
turf, among the palms. The cheetah fol-
lows close, now gaining, now losing
ground. The chase is most exciting, and
from our elephants backs we see
every yard OF it.
Now it seems certain that the dear,
tleeter of foot, will escape; his springs
and bounds are telling on the heavier
and slower cheetah. But no; the ''stay''
of that animal is greater, and his thi,st
tor blood unsuitable. For some minutes
more the hunt continues; the deer doubles
back from tope of trees, and comes into
the open;-a fall in tine lay of the land
gives the chectah a monentary advan-
tage; he sees it--one, two leaps: and he is
on the dcer's back and pins him lastly
down. There is cry, struggle, an en-
deavor to bring the sharp horns into
action; but the weight and strength Of
.1ubata is overpowering. and it is all up
with the lord Of the herd--lbe kinds arc
widows, and the fawns fatherless. The
keepers come up, they cut the throat OF
the dying stay, they feed with his life's
blood Ju6atd aforesaid. vino now releases
