Age of the World.

Over 900 years ago the Greek schools
treated the world as of indefinite antiqui-
ty, and they speak of traditions &c, 900 or
Ia 900 years before their time as facts not
questionable from their antiquity. Buck
land from geological conclusions, says 1t
Is millions Of years since the world was
created, and the only question Is, How
many million years3 Different views have
been entertained as to the earth s forma-
ton, one being that it has cooled down
from a fluid to q solid mass. Sir William
Thomson investigated the question of the
cooling of the earth and regards the in
crease of temperature from the surface
downward as proof of the constant loss
of heat from the globe, the heat radiating
into space without sensibly elevating the
temperature of the upper crust through
which it passes. The continuance of such
n loss of heat involves belief in the occur
renee of a period at which the earth was q
fluid mass, and the same scientist has fix
ed that period at not less than 200 000,-
600 nor more than 400 000, 900 years ago,
the probability being that 100, 900, 900 OF
years is the limit of geological history,
and that prior to that time the earth's sur
face was unfit for the maintenance OF ami
NAL or vegetable life. Our knowledge is
not sufficient TO fix the period when the
earth became habitable or when it shall
cease to he so. The organic world does
not furnish any guide to the solution Of
the problem, and therefore it Is only a
speculative question so far. Hugh Mil
Ter says: "As certainly as the sun is the
center of our system must our earth have
revolved around it for millions Of years.
The earth is Of An antiquity intellectually
vast. The 5000 years Of human history
form but a portion of the geological day
which is passing over us. They do not ex-
tend into the yesterday of our globe, far
less touch the myriads of ages spread out
beyond. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Ingoldsby Legends.

Barham is not much less good in prose
than in verse, and he manages his alter
nations of grave and gay in verse itseh
with a skill almost equal to though less
delicate than that of Praed, who probably
gave him some lessons. His beautiful last
lines "As I Lay Athinking' do not re-
qure the not very authentic antiquity OF
their spelling to give them charm.
He had scholarship, which, when 1t does
not prevent man from writing, is sell
dom without effect on the quality of what
he writes He had the wide, vague reading
which scholarship nowadays too often en-
cludes. He had good humor, good feeling
good breeding, an immense amount OF
fun and an inexhaustible fund of rhymes
and rhythms just suited for his purpose.
