When the World was Founded.

Biologists, astronomers and physi-
cists alike have hitherto been baffied in
their attempts to get up any satisfactO-
ry kind of ChronOmeter which will ap-
proximately measure geological time
and thus give us some clew to the an
tiouity of our globe. 1t is therefore
worth noting that Mr.. Mellard Reade
of Liverpool has lately contributed to
the Royal Society very suggestive
paper, in which he endeavOrs to grap-
pie with the question bynemplOyig the
limestone rocks of the earth's crust as
an index Of geological time. Lime
stones have been in course of forma-
ton, from the earliest known geOlOgi-
cal periods, but it would appear that
the latter found strate fire more calCa-
reous than the earlier, and that there
has been a gradually progressive in
crease of calcareOus matter. The very
extensive disposition of carbonate of
lime over wide areas Of the ocean bot
tom at the present day is sufficiently
attested by the recent soundings of the
Challenger. According to the authors
estimate the sedementary crust Of the
earth is at least one mile in average ac-
tual thickness, of which, probably,
one-tenth consists of calcareous matter.
In seeking the origin of this calcareous
matter it is assumed that the primitive
rocks of the original crust were of the
nature of gigantic or basaltic rocks.
By the disintregration of such rocks,
calcareous and other sedementary de-
posits have been formed. The amount
of lime salts in waters which drain
districts made up of GRANTEES and ba-
salts, is found, by the comparison Of
analysis, to be on an average of about
1913 part in 100000 parts. 1t is futher
assumed that the eXcessed areas Of
igneOus rocks, taking an average
throughout all geological time, will
bear to exposure of sedementary rocks
a ratio of one to nine. From these and
other date, Mr.. Reade concludes that
the elimination of the calcareOus mat
ter now found in all the sedementary
strata must have occupied at least 900,
900, 900 of years. This, therefore, rep
resents the minimum age of the world.
The author infers that the formation Of
the Laurentian, Cambrian and Silurian
strata must have occupied about 200,
600, 1000 of years; the red sandstone,
the carboniferous and the poikilitiC
systems another 200,000,000, and
all the other strata the remain
ing 200 100000. Mr.. Reade is, there
fore, led to believe that geological time
has been enormously in excess of the
limits urged by certain physicists; that
it has been ample to allow for all the
changes which, on the hypothesis of
have occurred in the organic
world.

STOCK ITEMS.

Pittsburg stockman, Feb. 10.
The first Texan cattle we have seen
for a long time passed through last
week.
Chicago is now shipping from 525 to
500 carloads of cattle per week to New
York.
The receipts of hogs this week have
been lighter than for the same time
since the first week in September.
Retailers had more cattle left on their
hands at the close of trade yesterday
than they have had at any time for
months.
Exports from New York last week
,180 head of live cattle, $3.50 quarters
of beef, 2,800 carcasses of mutton and
445 dressed hogs.
The proportion chichester and South
down sheep offered here is greater this
season than ever before, showing that
these excellent breeds are becoming
quite extensively introduced.
1t is rumored that some of the larger
packing houses Of the country will either
suspend operations altogether or work
very lightly through the summer pack
ing season, on account of the scarcity
and necessarily consequent high price
of ice.
We never saw as few stock sheep on
the market in any season as have been
shipped in of late. 1t seems to be a
generally adopted policy to keep them
at home, which, in view of the wool
prospects, and the enhanced prices
good fat sheep are bringing, is bit of
commendable wisdom on the part of
farmers.
Lent is having a decided curtailing
effect on the retail trade in all kinds of
live stock, not only here, but else
where. In the opening week or two
of the Lenten season the abstinence
from meats is much more strictly OBJ
served than near its close. This is
largely affecting New York's cattle
trade, rendering it impossible to sell as
many cattle there to advantage as can
be handled at other times.

Remember that DR.. Guysott's Yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla has proved itself
to be the best blood purifier ever dis
covered, and is a positive cure for
scrofula and syphilitic disorders, weak
mess of the kidneys, all nervous disor-
ders and debility, all urinary and di-
gestive troubles, etc. Price of large
quart bottles, with full directions, 81.
A single bottle will prove to you its
merits as a health-renewer, for it acts
like a charm, relieving both physical
and mental distress, driving out Of the
human system the many ills that flesh
and blood is heir to, and restoring the
natural vigor to both mind and body,
exhausted by disease and suffering. 1t
makes the old feel young and buoyant.

"A young man by the name of Will
liam Kotz, Coachman for Mr.. Charles
Mcclellan, came to my store one MORN
ing complaining that his feet hurt him
very badly, and expressing fears that
they were frost-bitten. He had in vain
tried to get relief by consulting physi-
clans. and had endeaYored, without sue
cess, to ease the pain by rubbing his
feet with snow and ice, the remedy ap-
piled in such cases. Being exposed a
great deal to the cold by his occupation,
his feet got worse daily, until one day
he tainted in the street. A few days
after he again came to my store and
showed me his feet. I have seen a great
MANY sores in my life, but nothing to
equal this, and was afraid the poor fell
low would lose his limbs. He asked me
for St. Jacobs Oil but at first l refused,
as did not wish to take the responsi-
bility upon myself, not being a great
admirer of sO-called Patent-Medicines
However, some friends, who happened
to be in the store at the time, begged me
to give the st. Jacobs Oil to the sufferer;
so we rubbed his feet well with the Oil,
and he took the remainder with him.
After nine days the same man again
came into my store, perfectly well, and
requested me to write to you of this
most wonderful cure; he also stated
that two other persons had been cured
of Rheumatism by the same bottle which
helped him. JOHN LEEzEN.

last by interested professional men of un-
doubted standing, who unite is the testimo-
ny that no food passed his lips during his
forty days fast. These men rendered
themselves liable to criminal prosecu-
ton in case of the death of the
faster, but they performed their self
imposed duty faithfully, and are filled
with wonder, as is the rest of the world, al
the accomplishment of what has heretofore
been regarded as an impossibility.
Whether science will profit or not from
the experiment of the Minnesota doctor is,
probably, of little concern to him. His OBJ
ject has been attained. He has achieved q
worldwide notoriety, which it is his inten-
ton to improve. As soon as he has recuper-
ated from his exhaustion he will take to lee
turing, and fora time at least, his audiences
will be large and profitable. 1t makes little
difference to the American public how man
got his neutrality-suspicious. in letters, poll
tics, science, or in the prize ring, or by be-
ing the principal in some great scandal. If
he is notorious he will draw, and the lecture
bureaus will give him profitable engagements
as long as his notoriety lasts. This was,
without doubt, what DR.. Tanner aspired to.
He will, if he is wise, make enough during
the next twelve-mont to support him in ease
during the remainder of his natural life.
There will be few who will begrudge him his
prosperity.

Mr.. GARFIELD was not remarkable during
his brief service in the army for his per-
sonal bravery. In fact he never had a
chance to show his bravery or his lack of
it. II was natural, therefore, that he should
insult those who sacrificed their lives on the
Aeld of battle by comparing them to the
brutes, as he did at the dedication of the
soldiers monument at Geneva, Ohio, when
he said:
'Some people think that soldiers are chiefly
renowned for coinage. That Is one of the
cheapest and commonest qualities. We share
IL with the the brutes. can Snd you dogs,
and bears, and lions that will fight, and fight
tothe death, and will fight each other. Do
you cali that warfsre?"
The men who fought for nearly I've years
against the enemies Of the Union viii be

has for so many years e1tollea the courage
of the soldiers.

DIR. TANhER-s FAsT.

DR.. Tanner has concluded his fest of forty
days and forty nights. He has COMPOUNDED
men Of science and has succeeded in upset
ting many preconceived and generally ac-
eepted notions as to the capacity of human
beings to endure long continued abstinence
from food. A less protracted fast would
have accomplished the same result, for med
scal men have been agreed all along that ten
days was the utmost limit of human endur-
ance without sustenance. DR.. Tanner has
not only EYed but has preserved wonderful
degree of vitality, and energies from the
ordeal comparatively strong, in the posses
sion of all his mental faculties, and with his
physical powers practically unimpaired.
The exploit, if such it can be called, has
been the wonder of the continent, but whether
any valuable results to science will arise re-
mains to be seen. There is no doubt but man
kind in general eat too much, but as there is
great deal of enjoyment in square meal
when the appetite is good, there is little
hope that Tsnnerism will become epidemic.
It may be valuable to know. however, that
IN case of necessity existence can be main
tanned for an indefinite period with only q
few ounces of water daily. Such necessity
Is not likely to arise in the lives Of ma
aority of men, bat it may OCCUR to few, and
4he study of DR.. Tanners methods may
prove of value to these.

THERE is quite warfare going on st Chi

Dissertation OF the holy day. The newsps
pers, on the other hand, insist that q brass
band cannot offend deity, and as those who &c
10 listen to it are barred out of the churches
es by social distinctions, and conduct them
selves in an orderly manner during the Sun

riiege nor impropriety in affording enter
tainment of the sort. The newspapers have
