How Old the Earth Ia.

DR.. Haughton, calculating from the
observed thickness of the rocks down to
the miocene tertiary, and assuming a
period of S,616 years for each foot de-
posted on the ocean bed, finds, for the
age of the stratified rocks, period OF
1926, 750, 900 years. Assuming the rate
of denudation, however, as ten times
greater in ancient times than at present,
and adding one-third for the period since
the miocene tertiary, he arrives at a final
result of 2OO,OOO,OOO years. DR.. Croll

A Destructive scarecrow.

Since the corn canning shops COM

have found brand new defense against
crows. They corral whole basketfuls of

cling array of adornments in the eye of

and cows, and when travellers find them
selves in the gutter with the carriage on

Superior Court recohvened at 3 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. L. G Vandegrifs
concluded his argument in the Williams
damage case and Judge Cullen charged
the Jury. His charge WAS very impartial
and elected much favorable comment
He told the jury that the master was
only liable when negligence Is chargeable
10 him. I'm relation to the employment
OF person upon dangerous work, it Is
necessary for the master to make him
acquainted with the Danger and character
of the work, and II the servant under
stands the nature Of the work the risk Is
his own. These principles of law must be
applied In accordance with TIE evidence
ia this case
"If you are satisfied that Joshua Will
Jams died OF the gases inhaled IL that
acid chamber, and that the defendants
we're negligent In mot warning him Of
the danger, then you must fud for the
plaintiff IN such reason bic sum as
would compensate her for her loss. If You
aer satisfied thrt there was no lack OF care
aud the best means were used IN cleaning
the chamber that Joshua Williams went
into the chamber knowing the danger,
that he died OF other causes than inhal-
ing gases In the chamber, then you must
6nd for the defendants. II he was
warned and yet persisted in going In he
was guilty OF coniributorY negligence.
The Jury retired at 35 o'clock The
/ judges left the bench but remained
within call until 8 o'clock. Prothonotary
Horty remained az his Office until a late
hour, At 9 o'clock the jurors we're heard
singing mo Compromise, and holding
oihei devotional exercises, and nothing

Court reconvened at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The Jury in the damage suit case OF
Anna Marie Williams VS. the Walton
and Whann Company reported TO the
court that it could not agree, Thai
was the only thing the jurors could sgre
upon. Ten Of the jurors wanted L
allow the plaintiff $4,000 while the twl
did not want to allow her anything,
The jurors we're discharged, notice o
a new trial was given, and the case vii

unless a compromise is effected. Il wa
rumored that the company would com
promise for SO 500, but TIE rumor couli
not be substantiated.
Court then adjourned until 2 o'clocl
