The Age OF the Earth.

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, well
known American geologist, who seems
to lean to the sideof the physicists in this
matter. OF course everybody starts with
the earth as 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-
BILE number that nobody may feel in
tellectually perturbed if few millions
more be added or few millions be sub
tracted from, the amount. DIR. Andrew

Gorgeous Moving Vans.

One sees good many big vans on the
streets-the vans that in the last few years
have almost entirely replaced trucks and
express wagons and taken the sting from
the LIST of May. These monster vehicles are
lined with padding and are attended by ex-
pert workmen, so that it is no longer true
that three removals are as bad as fire. A
curious thing about these vans is that they
have recently burst out into the most fiorid
illustration. In Brooklyn the pictures are
more numerous and conspicuous than they
are in New York. They cover the whole
side of the van and are often well painted
The subjects are usually patriotic, and it is
difficult to see the relation between moving

The Panama Silk Tree.

One of the greatest curiosities of the Pan
anna isthmus is the vegetable silk tree. 1t
is a plant that grows from Is to 20 feet
high, and in appearance does not differ
greatly from other trees, but the inner
bark is perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separated it by some
method best known to themselves, the proc
ess somewhat resembling that of beating
fax. When once it is separated and spun
into threads, it can be-woven into fabric
so closely resembling silk that it is diff
cult for any one not familiar with it to dis
tinguish between the two. This species OF
silk goods is in high favor on the isthmus,
and a Colombian belle is never happier
than when she is arrayed in gayly colored
dress made from the trees in her fathers
yard.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

The influence Of the Roman Pantheon.

For five centuries the Roman world turn
cd to the Pantheon, till out of it arose new
art in Constahtinople. 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-
tions of St. Peters. And thus from the
Pantheon has sprung the architecture
which from Chill to Chicago, from the
British islands to the Turkish empire, from
St. Petersburg to Sicily, is seen in thou
sand varieties and in ten Thousand ex-
amples. -Fortnightly Review.

The Authorship of an Old Rhyme.

A paragraph is going the round of the
provincial press attributing the well known
lines, Thirty Days Hath September" to a
schoolmaster at Newcastle-on-Tyne, named
Springmann, who fourished there during
the early years of the present century. The
blunder originated in curious way. Eight
or 10 years ago biography of Springmann
appeared in the Newcastle Weekly Chron-
icle, in which note was made of a practice
which the old schoolmaster adopted of turn
ing his lessons into rhymes, like the familiar
lines Thirty days" etc. Somebody, mis-
reading the article, assumed that Spring
mann composed ''the familiar lines" and
has recently sent the error booming through
the press.-Cor Notes and Queries.

pure coffee do you suppose you get to the

"They wouldn't dare put in over four
ounces of chicory,n answered one Of the

"Wouldn't, chr 1t isn't question Of

of a dozen ingredients. Chieory isn't harm
