A Slippery Place for biologists.

Heretofore the average geolog st has
been man who drinks up time like a
river and hasteth not. But now there
are some indications of reform in re-
spect to this lavish use of time. Prof.
Prestwick. IN the Sc cond volume of his
geology just issued from Oxford Uni
versity press. says that the alcuations
on which the glacial epoch was put back
240. 600 years are very defective. as
they are based on the rate at which
the puny glaciers of the Alps move.
But basing his calculations on the rate
at which the Greenland glaciers move.
he thinks that the time occupied by the
great American ice slide need not have
been more than from Is. 600 to 25 600
years And. by means of similar OBJ
scrvations and calculation. he limits
the time for the formal on of the val
leys, which followed.t to 8. 600 or 10 600
years. Hence the beginning of the
glacial period may not have been more
than 80. 600 years ago instead Of $40. 600.
and the close of the period not more
than 10. 600 years This makes an i'm.
mense shrinkage in the antiquity which
some of the biologists have claimed
for the human race. The defect IN all
these calculations g that IL is not known
how fast the ice moved in glacial
times. 1t is a slippery phase for the
geologis's. - Chicago Advance.
