He was appointed March IT 1892, while
serving as Representative from the San
Francisco district, to succeed the late
Judge Lorcnzo Sawyer, who died Sep

its origin in the confusion Of the appoint

SudgeGilbsrt, at the same time, to be an
additional judge Of the circuit court, as
provided for in the act establishing the
circuit court Of appeals.
But IL Judge McKenna had been named

The earth's age. like that Of the pro-
verbal spinster, must. | suppose, be
deemed uncertain. or at least las in the
case of the census paper we must allow
a fair margin for probabilities. The geolo-
gists on the one hand are supposed to
make very big drafts indeed on the bank
over which Father Time presides; while
the physicists on the other hand insist
on more moderate demands being formu-
lated. The latest explorer in this field
of inquiry is Mr. Clarence King, a well
known American geologist, who seems
to lean to the side of the physicists in this
matter. OF course everybody starts with
the earth as a gaseous mass and every
body gets to the earth as cooling globe,
which is certain in time to become a
burnt out cinder like the moon.
From researches on the effects Of heat
and pressure as applied to a cooling orb,
Mr.. King concludes that Lord Kelvin's
estimate of the earth's age is very near
the mark. According TO Mr.. King the
age of our world is TO be set down as not
exceeding some 24,OOO.OOO years. which,
venture to say. is so entirely unthinka.

The influence of the Roman Pantheon.

For five centuries the Roman world turn
ell to the Pantheon, till out Of it arose new
art in Constantinople. Then in the fifteenth
century. at the revival, the humanist artists
turned again to this same great work. 1t
gave rise first to the dome Of Florence, and
then to the dome OF St. Peters. $50 years
later From st. Peters the dome spread
all over the world-the Pantheon and the
Invalides at Paris. st. Paul's in London,
the capitol at Washington, the Isaac
church at St. Petersburg are mere imita-

Pantheon has sprung the architecture
