Better be Saving of Water.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Richard A. Proctor says that the age
of the earth is placed by some at $780,
100000 years. and still others of later
time, among them the Duke of Argyll,
place it at 100000 years. None place
it lower than 100000, knowing what
processes have been gone through. The
earth must have become old. Newton
surmised, although he could give no
reason for it, that the earth would at
one time become perfectly dry Since
then it has been found that Newton was
correct. As the earth keeps cooling it
will become porous, and great cavities
will be formed in the interior, which
will take in the water. It is estimated
that this process is now in progress so
far that the water diminishes at the rate
of the thickness of a sheet of writing
paper year. At this rate in 100000
years the water will have sunk mile,
and in 100000 years every trace of
water will have disappeared from the
face of the globe.
