How Old is the Earth.

Men Of science have given many
widely different answers to this ques-
ton. More than thirty years ago
Lord Kelvin, then known as Professor
William Tomson, set down the age of
the earth at one hundred million
years. By the earth's age he meant
the time that has elapsed since the
consolidation of the globe.
The estimate was based upon GER
tain experiments showing the rate at
which the rocks probably cooled down
from q molten condition. Recently
more numerous and accurate expert
ments bearing on this question have
been made, and in view of these Lord
Kelvin has revised his original figures,
and has very greatly reduced his esti-
mate of the age OF the earth. He now
puts it &c only twenty-four million
years. This, however, seems to be q
very respectable old age. even for q
planet.-Youth's Companion.

wARSHIP WRECKED.
A Spanish Cruiser Driven on the Reefs
by q Cyclone.

A Spanish Cruiser Driven on the Reefs
by a Cyclone.
News has been received from Ha-
Vana of the wreck by q cyclone and
probably total loss of the Spanish war
ship Christobal Colon, q second class
cruiser of about twelve hundred tons
displacement and sixteen hundred
horse power. The Christobal Colon
formed part of the feet of Spanish
wsrships detailed to watch the coast
Of Cuba in order to prevent the land
ing of filibustering expeditions from
the United States and elsewhere.
The cruiser carried four twelve CEN
temetre Honotoria guns; two seven
centemetre guns and two rapid fire
guns. Her crew is estimated to have
about two hundred officers and men,
but the exact figures are not known at
present, as she had on board men in
tended for the smaller patrol vessels of
the Spanish feet and may have de-
tailed men ashore.
The station Of the Cristcbal Colon
was the waters about Cape Antonio,
of the western extremity Of the Island
of Cuba, her commander having par
ticuler instructions to watch the gulf
of Correntes and Gsudisns, south and
north of Cape Antonio. The disaster
occurred off Colorado Point, in the
gulf Of Gaudiana, south of the town
of Mantus, n the province of Pinsr
del Rio, near which territory Havana
is situated.
Crew of . Storm Swept Barge Lost
The barge Elms, which broke loose
from her tow during the recent storm
on Lake Superior, has been picked up
and taken to Grand Island, Mich.
She will prove . total loss. About
400, 900 feet Of her cargo Of 626, 600
feet of lumber remained on the broken
barge. The crew of six men and q
woman and child have not been found
and are undoubtedly lost.
