the possibilities and the aims of art.
The artist Hoppner related that a

The Earth at Least 90, 600, 900 Years Old

The Earth at Least 90, OOo, 900 Years Old.
Mr.. A. R. Wallace, adopting DR.. Haugh-
toms thickness, but assuming the sedi-
ment to be deposited along belt of
thirty miles wide around the whole coast
line of the globe, finds, with all assumed
denudation of one foot in 5000 years,
a period of $4,000, 900 years. This,
however, on DR.. Croll's assumption of
reformation and denudation repeated
several times, would be merely a frac-
ton of the time required. Dr. Croll
further shows from the evidence of
remarkable ''faults" in various parts of
the world, with ''downthrows" ranging
from 5000 to $1,000 feet, the enormous
amount of solid rock which must have
been denuded off the surface of the
earth during the progress of geological
history.
He estimates that three miles of rock
have been removed since the beginning
of the old red sandstone. This would
indicate a period of $4,000, 600 years.
Assuming that the period before the
old red sandstone was equally long, we
have 100000 years. as the mini
mum duration of geological time y

A Paper Hotel.

There seems to be practically no linn
itation to the uses to which paper can
be applied. To the long list of articles
Intended for personal use, and in the
smallerdetails of construction in rolling
stock, such as wheels, axles, ETC., there
has been added more extensive applica-
ton of paper to the needs of everyday
life by the building of a hotel construct
ed of this material.
This novel residence, which is stu
ated in Hamburg, has been made en-
tirely of paper boards, which, it is said,
are of the hardness of wood, but pos
sess an advantage over the latter mate
rial in that they are fireproof, this de-
sirable end being effected by impregna-
ton with certain chemical solutions.

LIQUOR AT THE FAIR.
One Reason Why Sunday Patronage is
Wanted.

NEW YORK, December 80 "A special
from Chicago to the Mail and Express says:
1t is said here that liquor is to be sold at
the Worlds Fair, and that the directors
have agreed on liquor programme. Sec
retary Crawford. of the ways and means
committee, said that his committee had de-
cided to allow the sale of liquor for con-
sideration, the exposition to get percent
age of the gross receipts realized. After
he had volunteered this much Mr.. Craw-
ford declined to talk further. President
Baker said: "It was practically decided
mon tbs ago that liquor should be sold in
the restaurants" The reason for this ac.
tion of the directors is very simple. AS
given by one Of the board, it is plain
business proposition. An immense reve-
nue. can be derived from the sale of liquor
privileges.
1t has leaked out that the Worlds Fair
authorities have already made several con-
cessions for the sale of liquor on the
grounds. This will explain why many
active liquor men are taking leading part
in opposition to the movement for closing
the gates on the Sabbath day.

LONDON, December 30.-Truth, Henry
LabOuchere's paper, today publishes an or
ticle on Canada's future, drawn out by the
troubles in the Province of Quebec, which
have resulted In the ousting from Office OF
Mr. Mercier, the prime minister. and the
members of his cabinet. Truth says it Is
manifest that the destiny of the Dominion
is TO become new United States or to be-
come attached to the great republic
Change is inevitable and the sooner 1t
comes the better. The emancipation of
the grotesque Dominion and its absorption
in the United States would be benefit to
Canadians and also to Great Britain.
Such course would relieve Great Britain
OF the necessity of engaging in trans-Atlan-
tic squabbles In which she has no concern.
1t would, moreover, give the Canadians
that energy and enterprise which no mere
cOlOniSts can possess. The only sufferers
would be transferred to the tender mercies
of what Is probably the most corrupt and
rasclaly Institution on earth, the Washing
ington Indian Bureau. The paper further
says that Canada, once free, Australia
would soon follow. 1t Is quite possible
Australia will be the first TO sever the
bonds by which she is attached to Great
Britain. Talk OF Australian loyalty to the
British crown, Truth says, Is all buncOmbe.

There was some delay in converting this

Macon, who has been confined to his bed
for almost week. At 10 o'clock the de-
fendant's able lawyer arrived, looking
pale and carewcrn. He spoke in an almost
inaudible tone. He said:

innocent man.
1T has been my custom to help a man
rather than to sink him deeper, knowing
1t is better that SO men escape than that
one be punished illegally. A man must be
tried by rules of law. The courts are par
tlcular that juries should try a man. by
these rules. The rule of law is that IL Is
the duty Of the prosecuting attorney to
protect the defendant from an illegal con-
viction. When the representative Of the
people suppresses testimony which would
aid the prisoner, he violates his oath. If
the mere fact that an indictment has been
found is to deprive him of his
rights, be is no longer entitled to
the protection Of law. The court
says this indictment is no evidence of guilt,
and your belief that he is guilty must be so
strong and so unyielding that you would
act upon that belief. His Honor says the
indictment Is no evidence of guilt. Then
1t is In the testimony you must look to find
the evidence. His Honor explains what
circumstantial evidence is. You must be
convinced of the truth of the evidence be-
yond reasonable doubt, and, after you are
determined that a circumstance Is estab-
lished, you must believe 1t is absolutely
consistent with the guilt of the defendant"
