New York, February 6-The London
Exchange says: The age of the earth is
placed ut five hundred million years, and
still Others of late time. among them the
Duke of Argyll. places it ut ten million
years, knowing what processes it has gone
through. Other planets % through the
same process. The reason that other
planets differ so much from the earth il
that they are III a much earlier or later
stage Of existence.
THE earth must become old. Newton
surmised. although he could give no reason
for it, that the earth would at one time lose
all its water and become dry. Since then
il ha. been found that Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling it will become
porus and cavities will be formed in the
interior, which will take in the water. 1t
is estimated that this process is now in pro-
gress so far that the water diminishes ut the
rate Of about the thickness of a sheet OF
writing paper each year.
"At this rate in 6.Uoo, go years the water

8. Anglican Church Chronicle"

The current number of the "Anglican
Church Chronicle" is an exceedingly
neWsy one-more SO than usual. Open
ing out with an article on the season of
Lent, in which churchmen are reminded
that Easter is their time for reunion, the
editor regrets to record falling off in
the subscriptions by means of boxes, as
only 1888 were subscribed in January.
In an article on young men it is held
that the main cause for the dissatisfac
ton of our young men with their sur
roRndings is the want of something to
do. The anglican" urges them to join
the Christian Communion and work in
it with will, but they are not to require
their own will to be gratifed in every
thing as the price of their services. Ref
erence is made to the death of Capt.
Luce in we'll written article.
There is full account of the annual
meeting of the Woman's Church Aid
Society. One matter we notice before
them for consideration was in reference
to complaints of the dusty state of the
church, and that the sexton did not do
his duty in keeping it as it should be.
For a long time past there has, to our
knowledge, been good grounds for COM
plant. People have had to dust their
seats themselves before they could enter
them. The sexton is a Chinaman, and
a lazy and impudent fellow. He is p id
well to attend to his duties, but as fact,
another extra man has to be employed
to keep the church yard clean. ST. An
drew's Cathedral ought to have white
man as sexton, and not a Chinaman.
The usual local and foreign church
news is given.

on the easel a view of the Pail. Mr.. X.

Tt is one of Mr.. Tavernier's best, and
Mr.. Irwin, who was much pleased with
twill present it to the Emperor OF Japan
The same artist has also sold general
view of the Volcano, showing Mauna
